Hardcover. Condition: Good. William Makepeace Thackeray, the famed Victorian novelist and essayist, is principally known to modern readers as the author of "Vanity Fair"; however, Thackeray's literary output was prodigious and his contemporaries knew him not just as a novelist, but as a trenchant social satirist. The satirical element certainly shows up in "Vanity Fair", but elsewhere in Thackeray's works the element of satire is much more visibly on the surface. Such is the case with the book here in hand. "Burlesques" is a collection of satirical pieces that show of Thackeray's sense of the ridiculous, as he lampoons the foibles of society. This is the American reprint, published in 1885 by John R. Alden. the book includes the illustrations done by both the author and Richard Doyle. ///// This is a deaccessioned library volume, with labels and stamps to that effect. It is a book that displays a considerable amount of evidence for the history of its use. TITLE : Burlesques (Incl. Yellowplush Papers / Fitzboodle Papers , et al). AUTHOR : William Makepeace Thackeray (1811 - 1863). ILLUSTRATIONS : The Author and Richard Doyle. IMPRINT : John R. Alden. PLACE : New York. DATE : 1885. EDITION : American Reprint Publisher's Library Edition. PROVENANCE : Deaccessioned Library Volume. ///// Trade Hardcover; Contains several line illustrations; i - viii, [7] - 814 [ despite the discrepancy in pagination, the volume is complete]; approximately 5 1/8" x 7 3/4"; beveled boards with dark blue cloth and with title, etc. lettered in gilt on spine; top edge gilt; end-papers are graced with a densely repeating floral motif printed in light brown (or dark beige). ///// CONDITION : This is an X-Library copy, with library stamps, labels and markings. The library has stamped various pages, including the title page and , as well, I have spotted at least one page of text so stamped on the text. EXTERIOR : Spine extremities are compressed and display fraying - there is a library catalog label on the spine - moderate rub and spotting - title remains fairly bright. Boards display moderate rub and abrasion with scattered spotting and discoloration - most noticeable on rear board - edge wear is modest and corner tips are but mildly bumped - no library marks. Top text-block edge rubbed and dulled , fore- and bottom edges toned but fairly clear - no library marks. BINDING : Well read, and the text-block is slightly shaken - sits a bit loosely in the case; the leaves open widely, exposing binding threads - however no leaves are detached.

There are library stamps (at least one impinging text), but basically the interior is clean and presentable, showing but modest signs of use.
