About This Item
Portland, ME: Thomas B. Mosher, 1899. First edition thus. Hardcover. Very Good. 8vo, 96 pages, unopened in original boards with later quarter black cloth spine.
One of 450 copies on Van Gelder hand-made paper. "A handsome but unauthorised reprint of the book first printed in 1872, with a Preface by the American publisher-editor, and 3 Appendices - Colbeck, Swinburne 81." This is Swinburne's reply to a literary attack by Robert Buchanan. "Irradiating and informing UNDER THE MICROSCOPE is a rapture of rage, unmistakably Swinburnian - Mosher's Preface."

About Thomas J. Joyce And Company
Joyce And Company has been in business as a professional rare bookseller and appraiser since 1975. Owner Thomas Joyce was the regular book appraiser on Home & Garden TV\'s \"The Appraisal Fair\\\" program, on international broadcasts. Thomas Joyce was the co-discoverer of George Washington's personal copy of William Leybourn's 1679 edition of THE COMPLEAT SURVEYOR, from which young Washington learned some of his surveying skills at age 16. The book had vanished for nearly a century until its re-discovery in 2017. It is now back at Mt. Vernon.
