Description

Sm. 8vo., First Edition, on laid paper, with title in red and black; decorative cloth gilt, gilt back, gilt top, a near fine copy in unclipped dustwrapper, the latter chafed at head (not affecting lettering) and lightly browned at backstrip. THIS COPY WAS FORMERLY IN THE LIBRARY OF DESMOND MORSE-BOYCOTT AND BEARS HIS FINE ENGRAVED ARMORIAL BOOKPLATE ON FRONT PASTE-DOWN. The classic account of one of the greatest nineteenth publishing houses. It includes much detail on the relationship between the Macmillans (particularly Frederick) and the writers of the day (Hardy, Carroll, James, Tennyson, Kipling among others) who often owed much to the firm's encouragement. Desmond Lionel Morse-Boycott [d.1979] was the founder of the St. Mary of the Angels Song School and creator of the Morse-Boycott Bursary Fund. Now administered by the Dean & Chapter of Chichester Cathedral, the Fund continues to this day to finance boys at cathedral choir schools.
