The Egoist

George Meredith · C. Kegan Paul & Co. (London) · 1879

Beware 'first thus' traps: single-volume, collected-edition and later trade reprints are not the 1879 three-decker, and the later de-luxe bindings bearing a gilt facsimile 'George Meredith' signature on the front board are NOT the first edition. Later issues also drop the '8.79' publisher's catalogue.
