TRESSELL, Robert [pen name of Robert Philippe NOONAN] [1870-1911].
The Ragged-Trousered Philanthropists.
New York: Frederick A.Stokes Company Publishers, [1914]..
12mo. pp. [ix], 385. cloth (bit rubbed, cloth puckered on spine & inner portion of rear cover). First American Edition of a classic of working class literature. The illegitimate son of an inspector in the Royal Irish Constabulary, Noonan (who was baptized with the name Croker) spent ten years in South Africa, after which time he settled in Hastings. "Working in the building trade at subsistence wages, he contracted tuberculosis, was influenced by socialist writers such as Robert Blatchford, and became an active member of the unusually large Hastings branch of the Social Democratic Federation, whose banner he painted. He spent his spare time during the last ten years of his life writing by hand the 1800-page manuscript of The Ragged Trousered Philanthropists, which brought posthumous fame". (ODB) On the title-page of the first edition, which was substantially abridged from the original manuscript, his pen-name is incorrectly spelled 'Tressall'. Writing in the Manchester Evening News in April, 1946, George Orwell praised the book's ability to convey without sensationalism "the actual detail of manual work and the tiny things almost unimaginable to any comfortably situated person which make life a misery when one's income drops below a certain level." He considered it "a book that everyone should read" and a piece of social history that left one "with the feeling that a considerable novelist was lost in this young working-man whom society could not bother to keep alive."

TROLLOPE, Anthony [1815-1882].
Orley Farm.
London: Chapman And Hall, 1862..
2 Volumes. 8vo. pp. viii, 320; viii, 320. with half-titles. 40 wood-engraved plates after drawings by pre-Raphaelite artist John Everett Millais. contemporary half cloth (worn, spine labels chipped, light foxing & a little minor creasing and finger-soiling). First Edition, Mixed Issue, bound from the parts. The book became Trollope's personal favourite and George Orwell deemed it to contain "one of the most brilliant descriptions of a lawsuit in English history." "Millais's main effort is to do justice to the characters of Trollope's wonderfully rich and varied novel and to the situations in which they find themselves, yet the comfort, even elegance, of Victorian existence on the right side of the social line is nowhere more attractively presented than in his forty drawings for this novel. Trollope thought that Millais's illustrations were the best he had seen "in any novel in any language"." (Ray) Sadleir 13. Ray, The llustrator And The Book in England From 1790 To 1914, 168.
