Demy 8vo; integral leaf of publisher’s advertisements precedes title-page integral leaf of publisher’s advertisements at end; pp.93i ‘L’envoi’ii; greenish-grey paper wrappers printed on front and back wrapper in black the word ‘LAHORE.’ appearing on the front wrapper below the design. The Indian variant of Livingston 30 and the first appearance of the revised text. One of 3000 copies comprising the Indian edition of a total printing of 10000. Virtually fine copy. BOUND WITH: KIPLING Rudyard. The Story of the Gadsbys: A tale without a plot. By Rudyard Kipling Author of “Soldiers Three†“Wee Willie Winkie†etc. Published by Messrs. A.H. Wheeler & Co. Allahabad N.D. 1890. Demy 8vo; integral leaf of publisher’s advertisements precedes title-page integral leaf of publisher’s advertisements at end blank on verso; pp.85i ‘L’envoi’ii; greenish-grey paper wrappers printed on front and back wrapper in black the word ‘LAHORE.’ appearing on the front wrapper below the design. The Indian variant of Livingston 33 and the first appearance of the revised text. One of 3000 copies comprising the Indian edition of a total printing of 10000 and the correct first printing paged to 85 instead of 93 as in later printings. Small chip to upper corner of front wrapper but a virtually fine copy. BOUND WITH: KIPLING Rudyard. Second edition. In black and white. By Rudyard Kipling. A.H. Wheeler & Co. Allahabad 1889. Demy 8vo; integral blank and leaf of publisher’s advertisements precede title-page; Dedication leaf followed by integral leaf of publisher’s advertisements at end; pp.6 unpaginatediv106ii2; white wrappers printed outside in black the front wrapper reading ‘MAYO SCHOOL OF ART LAHORE’ below the design. The second Indian printing and the last to have the original text. Livingston 35. Slight dust-marking to back wrapper but a virtually fine copy otherwise. BOUND WITH: KIPLING Rudyard. Third edition. Under the Deodars. By Rudyard Kipling. A.H. Wheeler & Co. Allahabad 1890. All rights reserved. Demy 8vo; integral leaf of publisher’s advertisements precedes title-page integral leaf of publisher’s advertisements at end; pp.viii not paginated106ii; greenish-grey paper wrappers printed on front and back wrapper in black the words ‘MAYO SCHOOL OF ART LAHORE’ and ‘MUFID I AM PRESS’ appearing on the front wrapper below the design. Slight dusting or browning to edges of wrappers and blank corners of back wrapper slightly chipped; otherwise a nice copy. Livingstone does not record this edition which has the original text but under 38 notes that “a later issue with the revised text has on the cover the plate of the second edition with ‘MAYO SCHOOL OF ART LAHORE’ and ‘MUFID I AM PRESS’ below it†instead of just ‘MAYO SCHOOL OF ART LAHORE’. Since two sets of plates were made originally for the covers of other titles in the series it would appear that the same thing happened here and that the present copy provides a scarce example of this variant. BOUND WITH: KIPLING Rudyard. Third edition. The Phantom ’Rickshaw And other tales. By Rudyard Kipling. A.H. Wheeler & Co. Allahabad 1890. All rights reserved. Demy 8vo; integral leaf of publisher’s advertisements precedes title-page integral leaf of publisher’s advertisements at end; pp.viii not paginated114ii; greenish-grey paper wrappers printed on front and back wrapper in black the words ‘MAYO SCHOOL OF ART LAHORE’ and ‘MUFID I AM PRESS’ appearing on the front wrapper below the design. Slight marking and browning to edges of wrappers; otherwise a nice copy. This edition not recorded by Livingstone is identical with her ‘Second Edition’ in all respects. The cover variant is the scarcer of the two recorded under Livingstone 41 as being used indifferently for both the first and second editions having no apostrophe before ‘RICKSHAW’ and no periods after the ‘A’ and ‘H’ in the publisher’s name. BOUND WITH: KIPLING Rudyard. Second edition. Wee Willie Winkie And other child stories. A.H. Wheeler & Co. Allahabad 1889. All rights reserved. Demy 8vo; integral leaf of publisher’s advertisements precedes title-page integral leaf of publisher’s advertisements at end; pp.viii not paginated104ii; greenish-grey paper wrappers printed on front and back wrapper in black the words ‘MAYO SCHOOL OF ART LAHORE’ and ‘MUFID I AM PRESS’ appearing on the front wrapper below the design. A nice copy. Livingston 44 but differing from Livingstone in respect of the wrappers the front wrapper here having no period after the ‘A’ in the publisher’s imprint though there is one after the ‘H’ and having the printer’s imprint as above rather than simply ‘MUFID I AM PRESS LAHORE’ as illusttrated by Livingstone whilst the insignia on the berets on the back wrapper are here a flower rather than a cockade. It seems probable as with ‘The Phantom Rickshaw’ that two sets of plates for the cover were engraved. Six volumes with all wrappers and advertisement leaves and all Indian editions bound together in early dark green patterned-sand-grain cloth ruled blind lettered gilt on spine; the edges not trimmed by the binder. Light pencilled notes on some wrappers advertisement leaves and the blank suggest that all the volumes were purchased in November or December 1890 at Lucknow Railway Station or thereabouts by one F.G.M. Boileau whose ink signature appears on the front end-paper together with the note: “Bound by Hunt / 1904â€. Two volumes also have pencilled notes of expenses written on the inside back wrapper. ‘Soldiers Three’ and ‘The Story of the Gadsbys’ here exhibit the first printing of the revised texts in which no fewer than 157 and 188 alterations respectively were made from the originals. ‘In Black and White’ ‘Under the Deodars’ ‘The Phantom ’Rickshaw’ and ‘Wee Willie Winkie’ all have here the original text differing in 255 184 0 and 145 places from the later editions printed in England. The Indian issues are now distinctly scarce. All books listed by Robert Temple are first editions unless otherwise stated. hardcover

Blank before half-title; numerous illustrations on text paper; integral advertisement leaf at end; blue buckram blocked gilt on spine and front cover lettered gilt on spine; a.e.g.; very dark green coated end-papers. Slight general wear to covers and spine a little dull; some scattered light foxing; one or two corners turned; inscription on front blank dated ‘Xmas 1895’ and blank a little cockled; end-papers slightly cracking; a very good copy nonetheless and probably better than it sounds.
