Summary
Bibliographic description
413,[1]p. . 8vo. With manuscript note on final page in the hand of Sir George Otto Trevelyan (1838-1928): 'My mother and Uncle [Macaulay] greatly liked "Gurney married", in the comparative dearth of good novels to which they had access. The main story is very amusing, if all the reflections were left out. The Lieutenant Merman episode is worthless and dull, and Lazenby's letters quite inconceivably bad. Wallington. Sept 4 1918'.. Provenance: Twentieth-century pictorial armorial bookplate, a re-working of an earlier William Bell Scott pictorial Trevelyan bookplate (Franks 29799) of Sir Walter Calverley Trevelyan (1797-1879), lettered: Charles & Mary Trevelyan [i.e. Sir Charles Philips Trevelyan (1870-1958), & Mary Katharine, (m.1904).] Arms: Trevelyan impaling Bell. Not in Franks.. Binding: Half leather; marbled boards; title label, gilt lettered. Not contemporary.
