Description
Dickens (Charles) Great Expectations, "new edition in one volume", half-title, frontispiece, title with vignette illustration, bookplate of Frank O. Rowland to front pastedown, original cloth, spine gilt, spine faded, rubbed, some light bumping and slight fraying to spine tips and corners, but a very good copy generally, 8vo, Chapman and Hall, 1863.
⁂ A rare edition that may constitute a second issue of the second edition, seemingly not recorded by Margaret Cardwell. The first one-volume edition was published in 1862, this edition appears largely similar to that except for the later date on the title and the lack of advertisements at the end.
