DODGSON, Charles Lutwidge ('Lewis Carroll'). Alice's Adventures in Wonderland. New York: [Clarendon Press for] D. Appleton, 1866.
8° (191 x 128 mm). 42 illustrations after John Tenniel. (Light scattered spotting to the last few leaves.) Original red cloth, edges gilt (rebacked preserving most of the original spine, gilt on spine fading, light soiling); modern cloth slipcase. Provenance: Bel Hooper (faint gift inscription on front free endpaper).
FIRST EDITION, second (i.e., the American re-) issue, comprising sheets of the suppressed 1865 printing of Alice with new title-page; the variant (no priority) with the 'B' in 'By' slightly to the right of the 'T' in 'Tenniel' on the title-page and with the hyphen in 'Rabbit-Hole' on the Contents page. 'This second issue comprises those copies of the first edition still unbound when Lewis Carroll decided in July 1865 to cancel the edition. In 1866 the copies on hand were sold to Appleton, and [1000] new title-pages were printed at Oxford, replacing the originals. The binding was evidently done in England, duplicating that for the first issue except in the substitution of Appleton's name for Macmillan at the foot of the spine and in the omission of a [Burn & Co.] binder's ticket. Textually the Appleton issue agrees with the Macmillan 1865, the only difference being the cancel title-page' (Lewis Carroll at Texas, no. 2). PMM 354 (the first issue); Williams, Madan, Green and Crutch 44.
