SCOTT, Sir Walter (1771-1832). Ivanhoe; a Romance . Edinburgh: Printed for Archibald Constable and Co., 1820.
SCOTT, Sir Walter (1771-1832). Ivanhoe; a Romance . Edinburgh: Printed for Archibald Constable and Co., 1820. 3 volumes, 8 o (198 x 120 mm). Half-titles, Author's Advertisement leaf and 4-page publisher's advertisements in first volume, and 16 pages of advertisements at end of volume 3. Original bluish-gray paper-backed boards, printed paper spine labels on volumes 2 and 3 only, uncut (spine labels chipped, some soiling); brown quarter morroco slipcase. Provenance : early bookseller's sticker on front cover of first volume; M. Spender (early signature on half-title of first volume). FIRST EDITION OF ONE OF THE MOST POPULAR OF ALL HISTORICAL NOVELS. This copy with points of the first state as listed by Worthington with one exception. The points in volume one: pagination ends on p. 298; forme-mark on p. [iii] is 9; "Peter" reading on p. iv, line 6; p. v, line 12 the second and fourth words are "which," not the third as noted in Worthington, but with the 6 forme-mark; "observed" is first word on p. vi, line 14; without commas on p. ix, line 1 or p. xii, line 5 after "fought" or "people" respectively; "toilsome" reading on p. xv, line 3; no forme-marks on pp. xvi, xix, or xxiv, forme-marks of "9" and "12" on pp. xxviii and xxx respectively; a comma after "paste" on p. xxix. Scott began writing Ivanhoe in July 1819 and had finished by 10 November of that same year. When finally published on 18 December after a series of delays, the novel proved to be a spectacular success. Francis Jeffrey wrote in the Edinburgh Review , that it showed "... at least as much genius as any of those with which it must now be numbered," and in less than two weeks, the entire first printing of 12,000 copies had been sold out. A FINE COPY IN ORIGINAL BOARDS. Worthington 8.
