SUE, Eugène. The Wandering Jew. With an authentic portrait and memoir of the author. E. Appleyard. (Roscoe's Library edn.) 1845 / 1847
Illus. with plates and numerous woodcuts. 1845. BOUND WITH: The Seven Capital Sins. (Roscoe's Library edition.) Edmund Appleyard. Front., engr. title; a few marks in text. 1847. 2 vols. in 1 in contemp. half dark brown roan, spine lettered in gilt, marbled boards; faded & rubbed.

¶More than ten different publishers issued this work in 1845. James, p.191. 'Les Sept Péchés Capitaux' - earliest dated version in Bibliothèque Nationale, 1848. BL has a 6 vol. Paris edition of 1851-54 but lists no translation; this is probably the first English edition. The Wandering Jew in 70 pts each with illus. The Seven Capital Sins appears to have been swiftly reduced to one - the text ends 'Conclusion' after 22 parts of Part One: 'Pride', but the rest appeared as periodical serials; this edition in BL & Manchester only.
