About This Item
London : Richard Bentley, 1837. First edition. A novel with the reputation of being her best - a stinging satire on evangelicalism, with an unscrupulous vicar who manipulates the more susceptible women of the parish - "We do not know that we have ever read a work of fiction, similar in general character, superior to 'The Vicar of Wrexhill'. Never, certainly, have we met with a more able, a more ingeniously conducted exposure of canting hypocrisy" (The Scotsman). Three volumes. Demy 12mo (195 x 114mm). [iv],324; [iv],328; [iv],(344)pp. Frontispieces and six striking further plates drawn and etched by Auguste Hervieu (1795-1880). Bound, with both half-titles called for, in a nineteenth-century half roan with marbled sides and the binder's labels of Fr. Ljunggrens of Goteborg - now fully rebacked in a recent chestnut morocco, banded and gilt, with black labels; some occasional spotting and browning; a few minor marks, nicks, creases and small flaws, but overall a very good set of an uncommon book.
