‎The Old English Gentleman or The Fields and the Woods‎

‎London: Henry Colburn 1841. First edition. viii 293; ii 280; ii 274 2 pp. ads undated. 3 vols. 8vo. Uncut in the original drab gray boards blue cloth spines with printed paper labels a bit rubbed. Etched bookplate of George Gilpin on the front pastedown of each volume. Lovely set thus. First edition. viii 293; ii 280; ii 274 2 pp. ads undated. 3 vols. 8vo. Sporting Triple-Decker in Boards. Sadleir who had a copy in boards writes: "I remember an old bookseller in Edinburgh who had been at one time employed by W.T. Spencer telling me that Spencer regarded a board copy of THE OLD ENGLISH GENTLEMAN as one of the rarest three-volume items in his experience . " Wolff's copy on the other hand was rebacked with new labels and in his own estimation "pretty crude." The first of Mills' "rollicking hunting books" Sutherland. "Like his contemporaries 'Nimrod' C.J. Apperley and 'Yorkshireman' Surtees Mills deserves the foremost recognition amongst the ranks of those versatile scribes pertaining to the order characterized by 'Jorrocks' as 'Gentleman sportsmen' and with the works of those 'top-sawyers' and first of sporting and sportive penman" Higginson.

A reprint of a rare work with a foreword by the sporting bookseller and authority on early American sport Ernest R. Gee. This binding is similar to those executed by Sangorski & Sutcliffe for the great Derrydale production of Woodward's Cherished Portraits and may be counted as an unrecorded Deluxe binding. <br/><br/>Gee advertised copies bound in this style as item 46 in his Catalogue number 10 1927/1928 and it is probable that only a very small number of this edition were bound thus.
