Description

First edition. 8vo. Carter's A binding and terminal adverts in the earliest state. Original cinnamon ripple grain cloth decorated in gilt to the spine and in blind to the covers. A superb, near fine copy, which shows just the most minor wear to the corners, but is bright and clean. Internally fresh and tight with good hinges. Rarely encountered now in such an excellent, unrepaired state. Eliot's classic novel of hope, redemption, and the indomitable human spirit. Eliot intended that her book should 'set in a strong light the remedial influences of pure, natural human relations'. Sadleir 819; Wolff 2063.
