George Eliot, 1860
ELIOT, George (1819-1880). The Mill on the Floss. Edinburgh: William Blackwood and Sons, 1860.

First edition, first printing. Blackwood originally proposed publishing the novel in monthly installments, but Eliot resisted, preferring the first appearance to be in three volumes as here. The present is Binding B with more elaborate border design. Baker & Ross A5.1a.

Three volumes, octavo. Half-titles. Original orange-brown diagonal ripple cloth bound by Edmonds & Remnants London (light wear at extremities, small nick to spine of volume 3, vol. 1 hinges repaired); custom box. Provenance: Jane [?] (erased ownership inscription to half titles).
