MISS MACKENZIE. ByAnthony Trollope. London: Chapman and Hall, 193 Piccadilly. 1865. Ex. Cr. 8vo (4¾ × 7¾).
Vol. I. pp. vi + 312.
Vol. II. pp. vi + 313 + (3). Advertisement of works by the same author occupies p. (315).
Maroon cloth, gilt, blocked in blind. Yellow end-papers.
Notes—(i) This book was published in March, 1865.
(ii) A binding of dark green cloth is more frequently seen than that of maroon, but it is fairly certain that the latter is really the first issue. I have come to this conclusion after a study of other publications, for binding which the two types of cloth used forMiss Mackenziewere employed. Both are patterned cloths, but differently patterned. That used in maroon forMiss Mackenziewas also used—differently coloured, of course—for Trollope'sTales of All Countries(1861); Ainsworth'sConstable of the Tower(1861); Mrs. Gaskell'sRound the Sofa(1859) andRight at Last(1860); Charles Allston Collins'Cruise Upon Wheels(1862); and Reade'sLove me Little, Love me Long(1859). The pattern of cloth, on the other hand, used in dark green forMiss Mackenziereappears on Trollope'sBelton Estate(1866); Ainsworth'sJohn Law(1864); and Wilkie Collins'My Miscellanies(1863). I think these facts provide sufficiently conclusive evidence that the maroon cloth is of an earlier pattern than the dark green. Publishers were probably inclined, then as now, to use one type of cloth more than another at certain given dates (possibly they tended to adopt novelties as produced by their binders). This is independently suggested by the fact that in the year 1863 alone an identical pattern of cloth was used and by various publishers for Ainsworth'sCardinal Pole, for Mrs. Gaskell'sA Dark Night's Work, for George Eliot'sRomola, and for Mrs. Oliphant'sPerpetual Curate.

Each part contains a full-page line-engraved illustration by Marcus Stone, printed separately, and one small drawing in the text. Each part, as well as the title-page, etc., includedin Part XXXII. bears the imprint of Virtue and Co., but the novel, when issued in book form, appeared over the imprint of Strahan and Co.
Notes—(i) Four weeks after the appearance of Part I. (early in November, 1869) a parallel series of two-shillingmonthlyparts was inaugurated, of which the first, containing the first four weekly parts, was immediately issued, and the remainder at regular intervals. The earliest part issue was therefore the weekly one. Margaret Lavington in her Trollope bibliography, states that the first four parts were wrappered in one. This observation was probably made from an examination of a made-up set of parts composed, as to the first four, of the second issue and, as to the remainder, of the first (see above).
(ii) The story appeared in two-volume form in May, 1869.

This story originally appeared in parts, which were issued as supplements to “St. Paul's Magazine.” The instalments were paged continuously, but separately from the rest of the magazine.
Parts I. to XI. were enclosed in fawn paper wrappers printed in black and red and dated January, 1870, to November, 1870. Parts XII. to XVIII. were not wrappered at all, but merely stitched in at the end of the numbers of the magazine with their own pagination. The series containedeleven full-page line-engraved illustrations by F. A. Fraser, the last of which appeared in Part XI.
Apart from that printed on the back wrappers of Parts I. to XI., no advertisement material was included with the part issue. Title-page and contents (4 pp.) for the one-volume edition were supplied with the eighteenth and last instalment.
Although the real first book edition of the novel (published in April, 1870) was in three volumes cr. 8vo. as described above, the type and illustrations of the “St. Paul's” issue were used in a one-volume demy 8vo (5⅝ × 7⅞) edition (pp. iv + 434—no half-title or list of illustrations) issued by Strahan and Co. in 1871, after the story's serial completion. This one-volume edition is bound in green cloth, gilt, blocked in blind, and has dark yellow or terra-cotta end-papers.
Note—The three-volume edition was published on April 6, 1871. I have failed to establish the exact publishing date of the one-volume edition, but it was in June or July of the same year. Oddly enough the later issue is rarer than the earlier, for the sheets were quickly taken over by Routledge and issued in a different binding in 1872.

Notes—(i) This book was published in May, 1872. The story appeared serially in “Good Words.” It had been written in 1867 for “Blackwood's,” but had proved unacceptable.
(ii) Copies are sometimes found in dark brown cloth, lettered and blocked less heavily and with lighter boards. These are probably later in issue.
