The Chronicles of Barsetshire Comprising; The Warden, Barchester Towers, Dr. Thorne, Framley Parsonage, The Small House At Allington, and The Last Chronicle Of Barset.
Chapman and Hall, 1878.
First collected edition of the Barsetshire Chronicles. 8vo. Six works in eight volumes. Twentieth century purple half morocco over marbled boards, gilt rules, lettering and spine decoration. A handsome set, with the spines a little faded.
Uncommon. Chapman and Hall printed 750 copies of each of the eight volumes. However, "the venture was not a success" (Sadleir) and by the end of 1881 only 2,473 individual volumes (of a possible 6000 printed) had been sold, which means that the number of complete sets of this printing cannot exceed 309 and is likely far less.
Sadleir pp. 245-8.
