Two octavo volumes, handsomely bound by the Scroll Club in full red levant morocco, the spines lettered in gilt in compartments with five raised bands, gilt board edges and turn-ins, tan paper endleaves, all edges gilt, the original cloth bound in at the rear. Association copies, each inscribed by Carroll to his cousin Alice Wilson-Fox on the half-title, the first volume in purple ink, âAlice Wilson Fox from her old friend the Author, Jan. 8. 1890,â and the second in black ink, âAlice Wilson Fox, with the Authorâs affectionate regards.

He sent her that book on its publication, she remembered, together with each of his other works, among them the present two volumes.…
