In den WarenkorbFirst edition, presentation copy, inscribed by General Gordon's sister, Mary Augusta Gordon, on the front cover, "With Miss Gordon's kind regards". She has also inscribed page 8, on which one of her letters to a correspondent is reprinted, "Published without my permission, M.A.G." The recipient was William Henry Goss (1833-1906)…, a Staffordshire potter whose works produced busts of the general. Goss was an enthusiastic collector of Gordon artefacts and on good terms with at least one other Gordon sister. Some of his collection was sold by Christie's in 2005. William E. A. Axon (1846-1913), an antiquarian and bibliographer, wrote for the Manchester Guardian for three decades. In this article, read before the Manchester Literary Club in 1888 and also published in the club's Papers, he analyses inscriptions - evidencing a "constant foreboding of death" (p. 5) - found in Gordon's copy of Newman's famous poem and tells the story of how the copy made its way from Khartoum to Britain. Of this scarce pamphlet, only five copies are found institutionally (Cambridge, Oxford, St Andrews, Glasgow, and Harvard). Small octavo, pp. 16. Original light blue wrappers, wire-stitched as issued, front cover lettered in black. Light foxing and staining: very good.
