CARROLL, Lewis [i.e. Charles Lutwidge Dodgson]. The Game of Logic, London: Macmillan & Co., 1887, 8°, second [first published] edition, PRESENTATION COPY, half title inscribed: "Helen Bell, from the author, Mar. /87," diagrams, with separate printed card and nine counters in envelope, 2 page publisher's advertisements at end, original red cloth gilt (spine darkened), g.e., modern red morocco case. [Williams & Madan 196]
500 copies of this edition were printed. Dodgson had not approved of the first issue of 1886 and, except for "50 copies bound, as already ordered", they were consigned to America. In a letter to Macmillan, he wrote, "they will do very well for the Americans, who ought not to be very particular as to quality, as they insist on having books for very cheap ... They must not begin to be sold in America until the English edition is ready". Dodgson made a number of changes to the text which appear here for the first time.
