The Professor, The Professor,

BRONTË, Charlotte. The Professor, a tale. FIRST EDITION. 2 vols. Smith, Elder, & Co. 1857
Half titles, final ad. leaf vol. I, 16pp cata. vol. II. 2 vols in 1 in orig. publisher's remainder binding; dark green morocco-grained cloth, borders in blind, spine with decorated gilt bands at head & tail, lettered in gilt: THE / PROFESSOR / BY / CURRER BELL. / LONDON / SMITH, ELDER & CO. Some expertly executed minor repairs, but overall a v.g. well-preserved copy in a scarce format.

¶Smith (p.162) mentions that 719 copies were bound up thus 'on or before 30 June 1859'. The grain on this copy is vertical (rather than diagonal or horizontal as described by Smith), and it has pale yellow endpapers. The Professor was Charlotte's first completed novel but last published, posthumously.
