Hardcover. black-&-white illustrations. pp. xv 244.8voBound in original woven gray-green cloth with gilt emblemAccording to Andrew Halliday who was elected a joint Honorary Secretary at the first annual meeting in 1858 'The Savage Club was formed to supply the want which Dr. Samuel Johnson and his friends experienced when they founded the Literary Club. A little band of authors journalists and artists felt the need of a place of reunion where in their hours of leisure they might gather together and enjoy each other's society apart from the publicity of that which was known in Johnson's time as the coffee house and equally apart from the chilling splendour of the modern club.' This edition one of only 500 copies printed 'brings together some brief recollections and sketches by members'. It is a scarce item seldom seen in its original presentation. <br/><br/>Boards sunned with light wear to extremities. Binding a bit dry & sl. stressed. Contents unmarked. A good to good plus copy.
