Black, William A Princess of Thule
N.Y. John W. Lovell Company Hard Cover Very Good No Jacket
Original brown cloth intricately decorated in black with gilt titles on cover and spine. Another of the seven volumes of Black's works in matching covers just listed. Written in 1874, it was later adapted by L. Frank Baum into a musical titled The Maid of Arran. The following year Black retired from journalism and devoted himself entirely to fiction. One reviewer declared that Black's descriptions of scenery alone make this novel worth reading, while the development of the love story leads the reader to look with great anticipation for subsequent stories by Black. Book is lightly cocked and has one elegant signature of the previous owner. 462 pp.

Black, William Judith Shakespeare; Her Love Affairs and Other Adventures
N.Y. A.L. Burt Company Hard Cover Very Good No Jacket
Original maroon cloth on boards. First published in serial form in 1884. The daughter of William Shakespeare apparently lacked schooling, for at one point in her adult life she "made her mark" as a substitute for writing her name. Another source claims that she was eventually taught to read by a Quaker friend. At the time of her marriage, her husband was fighting a paternity charge by another woman. This resulted in his excommunication, but he was promptly re-instated. The book has no writing and no damage. 352 pp.

Black, William Madcap Violet
N.Y. John W. Lovell Company Hard Cover Very Good No Jacket
Original brown cloth, intricately decorated in black, on boards. Previous owner's name in elegant script. First published in 1877, this is perhaps the favourite of Black's novels, seven of which we have listed in matching binding. Violet North is an attractive girl in her late teens who seems to go from one "scene" to another with hardly a break. She has irritated her German teacher into calling her a devil, which incident she is now piously describing to the Principal. She skips school for a day with a boy she hasn't known before. Later, she falls madly in love with a philosophizing recluse, whom she worries into consumption. He dies, but Violet continues to expect a letter from him. 394 pp.

Black, William Sunrise
N.Y. John W. Lovell Company Worthington Hard Cover Very Good No Jacket
Original brown cloth intricately decorated in black on boards. Gilt cover and spine.spine lettering. This is one of seven volumes by the same author from the same previous owner, all in very good condition. In Sunrise, Black gets a lot of content from the Berezowski affair, an attempt to assassinate Tsar Alexander II who was in Paris to atend the World's Fair. One of the big London papers concluded from this novel that Black had a faulty understanding of secret xocieties. At any rate, it seems to me to be an absorbing story. Previous owner's name, with no other writing or damage. Cocked. 430 pp.
