TROLLOPE, Anthony (1815-1882). The Prime Minister, London: Chapman and Hall, 1876. 4 volumes, 8° (183 x 120mm). (Lacking Contents List in volume I, very light marginal browning). Contemporary calf, spines gilt with lettering-pieces (re-bound calf over original cloth volumes I and II, upper cover and spine split volume IV, spines rubbed with losses), 2 cloth folding cases. Provenance: E.L. Homans (pencil signatures, dated 1878); Herbert Elliston (bookplates).
FIRST EDITION, PRESENTATION COPY. Inscribed on front endpaper volume I: "E. Homans from her affectionate friend. The author". Pencil annotation on endpaper: "E.L. Homans was the wife of a Boston doctor" and "bound from the parts issue". This would appear to be set "C", as the Contents List for volume I was missing altogether. Sadleir 45. (3)
