Stated Third Edition. Octavo. 25.5cm. Bound in a lavish contemporary full crushed red morocco titled and embellished in gilt. [viii]; 291pp.; [1] ads. Lightly scuffed to corners, with a little cosmetic darkening and scuffing to the spine, tight and handsome; internally clean and fresh, top edge gilt, grey endpapers, a little pale spotting in places, usually from contact with the colored plates, and some very minor soiling here and there. A very good and exceptionally handsome example in an accomplished unsigned binding, stated as English, but signed only with a gilt horsehead device, most likely under commission from a bookseller. A handsome presentation of one of Surtee's more popular and endearing creations; John Jorrocks, a rather red-faced and portly grocer of means with a sharp cockney accent and a liking for all things sporting and dashing. Surtees himself was less of a success in the Victorian period than his rather more staid and less "vulgar" competitors like Whyte-Melville whose sporting novels were all bestsellers. It was more as the Victorian age expanded into enthusiastic Imperialism and colossal expansion that the bourgeois 'baseness' of Surtees characters became more popular, it's not for nothing that Stalky, the rather caddish and cynical schoolboy of Kipling's tales, frequently quotes Jorrocks, and like many Victorian young men expands the vocabulary of the hunting field into every corner of life. Although by the time of this edition the world of the Top o' The Trees sportsman and the Corinthian in his Four Horse Club rig-out were the realm of grandfatherly reminiscence, the respectably "manly" pursuits of shooting, hunting, and fishing still held a cultural stranglehold on young men. Sports literature was seen very much as nourishment for good sons of the Empire; be it on the rugby or football field, or cross-country at breakneck pace, it was considered that the education of the sporting field would put young men on the right path, and prepare them for the future challenges of life.…
