This copy is unnumbered and stamped on the colophon leaf "This Book Is Out Of Series - For Review" (and was indeed most likely given by Frances Meynell to Wolfe for Review). Cloth a bit soiled, spine label dull; a very good clean copy. Originally published in 1852, GRAZIELLA tells of a young French man who falls for a fisherman's granddaughter the eponymous Graziella during a trip to Naples, Italy. A very popular book, here issued in a fine press edition, our copy with a nice association.
