Trollope, Anthony. THE BERTRAMS. A Novel. New York: Harper & Brothers, 1859. Original blindstamped brown cloth.
First American (and first one-volume) Edition. This was not generally regarded as one of Trollope's better efforts; the author himself remarked in his autobiography,
I do not know that I have ever heard it well spoken of by my friends, and I cannot remember that there is any character in it that has dwelt in the minds of novel-readers.
Much of the novel's action takes place in Jerusalem and the Holy Land, where George Bertram meets the father he had not seen since his boyhood.
THE BERTRAMS was Trollope's second book to be published in America, following DOCTOR THORNE the previous year. This is a very good copy, quite bright, with minor wear at the edges of the spine; the final (blank) leaf before the endpaper is excised. The front flyleaf bears an October 1859 inscription. In our experience it is considerably scarcer than Harper's subsequent double-columned Trollope American editions. See Sadleir (TROLLOPE) 8. Housed in a morocco backed slipcase.
