'With the exception of 'On The Western Circuit' the stories were only slightly revised for their appearance here. The volume was printed from the same plates as the first edition two years before' Purdy. 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 volumes has an etched frontispiece by Macbeth-Raeburn depicting a scene fom the novel drawn on the spot in this case 'A View in Melchester' 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. ALL VOLUMES IN THIS SERIES ARE SCARCE IN THIS CONDITION. See Purdy pp.81-83 279-282.
