About this Item

First trade edition ofÂLewis Carrollâ s game, with scarce original card and several original markers. Octavo, original publisher's red cloth. Association copy, inscribed by Lewis Carroll to his nephew, on the half-title in purple ink in the year of publication, "Bertram J. Collingwood with the Author's love Mar. 87." The volume contains the original envelope containing the playing board, with six of the nine rare counters. In very good condition with some rubbing to the extremities. Uncommon signed and inscribed. â The native acuteness and ingenuity of [Carrollâ s] intellect led him to devote much attention to formal logic, in whose intricate puzzles he delighted, and he almost seemed to have convinced himself that it was an engine for the discovery of new truth, instead of a means of detecting errorâ "that more could be got out of the premises than was put into themâ (DNB). This first published edition was preceded only by an extremely small private printing in 1886 that Carroll suppressed. Seller Inventory # 26048
