About This Item
4to. London: Quaritch, 1886. 4to, printed upper wrapper; 1 (blank), 2 (Preface), 3-23 text; lower wrapper unprinted. In a fine decorative marbled calf binding by de Coverley. § Limited to 50 copies facsimilied by Muir, E. Druitt, H.T. Muir, and J.D. Watts. This copy originally numbered copy 26 and signed by Muir, Muir has crossed out “26” and written “Saturday Review.” Essick notes: There is No Natural Religion. The "Preface," dated 1886, indicates that the facsimile is based on plates "in the British Museum [copy A] and from some papers in my own possession [copy L]." However, the printed front wrapper of Muir's Europe facsimile [1887) indicates that "Mr. Burt's copy [H?--which, according to Joseph Viscomi, is a forgery]" was also used. This would seem to be correct since copies A and L are printed in olive and green, whereas plates a1, a2, and b1 in the facsimile are in brown, as in copy H. Also includes plate 2 of All Religions are One, the original of which is bound into There is No Natural Religion copy M, and Muir's own version of the missing plate b5. Delivered to Quaritch 8 Sept. 1886. Bentley, BB, 249 G.
