Cheap and Uniform Edition in Two Volumes. Two volumes in lilac cloth with blindstamped framing on all boards, cream endpapers. Spines sunned to pale brown, lighter sunning on board edges, small split at foot of lower hinge on volume I, foxing, good. With a new preface by Lever, dated October 1858, explaining how the story was written "from the life . . . after nature" as a response to the criticism of the "endless scenes of recklessness--wild orgies of dissipation" which marked his earlier novels. A heavier than average set which will require some additional postage.
