MISS MACKENZIE. By ANTHONY TROLLOPE. London: Chapman and Hall, 193 Piccadilly. 1865. Ex. Cr. 8vo (4¾ × 7¾).

Vol. I. pp. vi + 312.

Vol. II. pp. vi + 313 + (3). Advertisement of works by the same author occupies p. (315).

Maroon cloth, gilt, blocked in blind. Yellow end-papers.

NOTES—(i) This book was published in March, 1865.

(ii) A binding of dark green cloth is more frequently seen than that of maroon, but it is fairly certain that the latter is really the first issue. I have come to this conclusion after a study of other publications, for binding which the two types of cloth used for _Miss Mackenzie_ were employed. Both are patterned cloths, but differently patterned. That used in maroon for _Miss Mackenzie_ was also used—differently coloured, of course—for Trollope's _Tales of All Countries_ (1861); Ainsworth's _Constable of the Tower_ (1861); Mrs. Gaskell's _Round the Sofa_ (1859) and _Right at Last_ (1860); Charles Allston Collins' _Cruise Upon Wheels_ (1862); and Reade's _Love me Little, Love me Long_ (1859). The pattern of cloth, on the other hand, used in dark green for _Miss Mackenzie_ reappears on Trollope's _Belton Estate_ (1866); Ainsworth's _John Law_ (1864); and Wilkie Collins' _My Miscellanies_ (1863). I think these facts provide sufficiently conclusive evidence that the maroon cloth is of an earlier pattern than the dark green. Publishers were probably inclined, then as now, to use one type of cloth more than another at certain given dates (possibly they tended to adopt novelties as produced by their binders). This is independently suggested by the fact that in the year 1863 alone an identical pattern of cloth was used and by various publishers for Ainsworth's _Cardinal Pole_, for Mrs. Gaskell's _A Dark Night's Work_, for George Eliot's _Romola_, and for Mrs. Oliphant's _Perpetual Curate_.

HE KNEW HE WAS RIGHT. By ANTHONY TROLLOPE. With 64 illustrations by Marcus Stone. Strahan and Co., Publishers, 56 Ludgate Hill, London. 1869. 2 vols. Demy 8vo (5½ × 8⅝).

Vol. I. pp. ix + (iii) + 384.

Vol. II. pp. ix + (iii) + 384.

Each volume contains sixteen illustrations printed separately and sixteen line drawings in the text. Green cloth, gilt, blocked in blind. Pale yellow end-papers.

This story first appeared in thirty-two demy 8vo sixpenny weekly parts, dated October 17 (1868) to May 22 (1869), bound in green-grey paper wrappers, printed in red and black. Each part contains a full-page line-engraved illustration by Marcus Stone, printed separately, and one small drawing in the text. Each part, as well as the title-page, etc., included in Part XXXII. bears the imprint of Virtue and Co., but the novel, when issued in book form, appeared over the imprint of Strahan and Co.

NOTES—(i) Four weeks after the appearance of Part I. (early in November, 1869) a parallel series of two-shilling _monthly_ parts was inaugurated, of which the first, containing the first four weekly parts, was immediately issued, and the remainder at regular intervals. The earliest part issue was therefore the weekly one. Margaret Lavington in her Trollope bibliography, states that the first four parts were wrappered in one. This observation was probably made from an examination of a made-up set of parts composed, as to the first four, of the second issue and, as to the remainder, of the first (see above).

(ii) The story appeared in two-volume form in May, 1869.

HE KNEW HE WAS RIGHT: PART ISSUE.
