Kensett and William Mitchell Van Winkle. An unsophisticated copy in a custom quarter leather box. § First edition to be edited by Frank Forester; the bibliographer's copy. Van Winkle wrote the definitive bibliography of Frank Forester, whose real name was Henry William Herbert (1807-1858), and was a staunch defender of a man whom others found rather tragic. Herbert was the son of the Dean of Manchester and had been educated at Eton and Cambridge but lost his property and moved to New York to work as a teacher. He achieved some popularity as a writer, editor and translator on English historical and sporting themes but his arrogance and inability to forget his noble origins alienated others (Edgar Allen Poe described him as "not unapt to fall into pompous grandiloquence") and after a series of misfortunes he decided to cut short his own life. Mr. Sponge's Sporting Tour was first published in England in 1853 and is a classic in the genre of sporting farces. The illustrator John Leech is perhaps best known for his engravings for the first edition of A Christmas Carol.
