Uncle Tom's Cabin by Harriet Beecher Stowe. London: H. G. Bohn, 1852. Illustrated by Leech, Gilbert & c and priced at 3/6 (as noted on spine).

An early UK edition from the original year of publication. This is the first edition to include an eight-page "Introductory Remarks" section addressed "To Henry G. Bohn Esq." by James Sherman, who notes that Bohn's unillustrated edition had consisted of 5,000 copies that sold out in one day.

Condition

Publisher's original olive cloth binding with gilt lettering to spine and blind-stamped decoration to spine, front and rear. Externally in good condition, however with significant edgewear (especially to corners), sunning to spine and a portion on rear, and some light stains in places. Spine tips bumped and frayed. Front hinges are broken. Endpaper ads printed in blue. Binding is fragile and shaken with some loose pages. Internally, there is foxing and there are some thumbing marks to pages. Minimal chipping to pages otherwise. A complete example.
