Macmillan 1913. 8vo. First Edition on laid paper with etched frontispiece original tissue guard present and double-page map in the text neat signature onj front free endpaper; original series binding of decorative ribbed dark-green cloth gilt 'TH' monogram blocked in gilt on upper cover gilt back gilt top uncut covers fractionally age-scuffed else a very good bright clean crisp copy. With 2pp publisher's advertisement at end. Osgood's 'Wessex Novels' is the first uniform and complete edition of Hardy's works. 'The edition is an important one. The text of every novel was thoroughly and carefully revised the topography names and distances corrected where necessary chapters frequently retitled and much rewriting done. In addition Hardy prepared a special preface for each volume' Purdy p.281. Each of the sixteen original volumes has an etched frontispiece by Macbeth-Raeburn depicting a scene from the novel drawn on the spot; in this case 'The Castle of Mai-Dun' and a map of Wessex drawn by Hardy himself. In terms of book production these are undoubtedly the finest trade editions of Hardy's works. Although published by Hardy's subsequent publisher Macmillan the present volume was produced in matching format as 'Volume XVIII' to retain uniformity the last volume of Hardy's work to be so issued. 'A Changed Man' collects for the first time twelve short stories that had been published previously in serial form together with a new short Prefatory Note by the author. In addition to the three tales mentioned in the title the others are 'Alicia's Diary' 'The Grave by the Handpost' 'Enter a Dragoon' 'A Tryst at an Ancient Earthwork' 'What the Shepherd saw' 'A Committee-Man of the Terror' 'Master John Horseleigh Knight' 'The Duke's Reappearance' and 'A Mere Interlude'. The stories date from 1881 'What the Shepherd saw'; the last two 'A Changed Man' and 'Enter a Dragoon' both 1899 mark the close of Hardy's work in prose fiction.

1913. First Edition. HARDY Thomas. A Changed Man The Waiting Supper and Other Tales Concluding with The Romantic Adventures of a Milkmaid. London: Macmillan 1913. Octavo original dark green cloth top edge gilt original dust jacket. Housed in a custom cloth chemise and slipcase. $2500.First edition of this collection of a dozen of Hardy's short stories including his lengthy gothic tale ""The Romantic Adventures of a Milkmaid"" with photogravure frontispiece in very scarce original dust jacket.""A Changed Man is a group of 'a dozen minor novels' that had lain uncollected in English and American periodicals half of them for a quarter of a century or more. They 'would probably have never been collected by me at this time of day' Hardy wrote 'if frequent reprints of some of them in America and elsewhere had not set many readers inquiring for them in a volume'
There is much of interest in the volume: the introduction of soldiers and the use of historical setting in the tales written in the '90s when The Dynasts was taking shape; the snatches of reminiscence and family tradition in 'A Tryst at an Ancient Earthwork' and 'The Duke's Reappearance'; the reflection in 'Alicia's Diary' of Hardy's Italian journey a few months before
"" Purdy 155-56. One of 10000 copies; the 12 stories here collected had all been published previously in periodicals. Purdy 151-57. Webb 39-40.

With an etched illustration as frontispiece by H. Macbeth-Raeburn and at the end a map of Wessex. 8vo in the original dark green ribbed cloth lettered in gilt on spine and with the floral gilt T/H decorative monogram on the upper cover edges untrimmed t.e.g. viii 516 map. A good copy the text a bit mellowed primarily at the prelims and the binding a bit shaken the cloth is dark green as issued and without fading though the rear cover appears a bit blemished in an area next to the spinesome wear to tghe spine panel endleaves with some of the usual browning to which the title is prone. FIRST EDITION IN ORIGINAL CLOTH OF JUDE THE OBSCURE perhaps the most unbiased consideration in English fiction of the more complicated questions of sex.Hardy's knowledge of woman confirms him in a suspension of judgment; his knowledge of nature brings him nearer to the unchanging and consoling element in the world. His peasants have been compared with Shakespeare's; he has the Shakespearean sense of their placid existence with an unconscious wisdom in their close narrow and undistracted view of things.

Song of the Soldiers. 'Reprinted by permission' 1915 Issue. 1915 ISSUE IN ORIGINAL WRAPPERS
E. Williams Hove 1915. 8pp. 8vo. 1915 Issue text mildly browned as usual; original printed wrappers sewed as issueda very good bright crisp copy. Hardy's well-known if sombre poem was first published in 'The Times' on 9 September 1914. Purdy states that Mrs. Hardy wrote to Williams an antiquarian bookseller confirming that Hardy had no objection to the piece being reprinted and it was accordingly first reissued as a 4pp leaflet on 16th September 1914. The venture was evidently successful for in 1915 Williams reissued the present reset version as an 8pp pamphlet sewn in brown card wrappers. SCARCE IN THIS CONDITION. See Purdy pp.157-8. [E. Williams], Hove, unknown
