Derby.
Published by Richardson and Son, [s.d., c. 1830]
12mo.
23pp, [1]. Original publisher’s printed blue wrappers. A trifle spotted, slight chipping to spine.
An uncommon survival, in original unsophisticated state, of an anonymous Derby-printed prose edition of the perennially popular German legend of Faust. An apparently contemporary edition in boards, also issued by Richardson (but likely not for six-pence), contained a colour frontispiece which this edition doesn’t feature.
