The first edition, in original cloth, of the sequel to Trollope's landmark political novel Phineas Finn (1869), which serves as the fourth of his 'Palliser', or parliamentary, series. Following the character of the eponymous Whig politician, Phineas Redux was first published as a serial between 1873-74 in The Graphic; unusually pro-Irish for Victorian novels, the work draws from Trollope's own experiences running as a Liberal MP in the Parliamentary election for Beverley, in which he ultimately finished last.
