Description
Full limp morocco with silk endleaves; a.e.g.. Very good; some wear to the joints of the binding. 4to, eight autograph letters mounted or inset, bound up with the engraved portrait of Stevenson by Paul Meredith. The assemblage of an anonymous collector prior to WWII. 1 - A 3 pp. ALs to Sidney Colvin from Edinburgh, Oct. 15, 1873 in which Stevenson, on the threshold of taking up the law and traveling to London for an examination of his suitability at one of the Inns of Court, tells Colvin of his present illness and formalities of the application. 2 - A 4 pp ALs on Stevenson's engraved stationary to "Bob" (perhaps his cousin R A M Stevenson resident in France?) complaining of Edinburgh, his health (leg wound), seeking news, correct addresses in Paris. 3 - A 2 pp ALs on Stevenson's engraved stationary to Sidney Colvin dated 1874 (in a later pencil notation). A chatty personal note concerning his health and the weather. 4 - A 2 pp. signed note to his mother dated October 23, 1885 requesting whiskey and then listing books he would like (a number dealing with Wellington); stating that he has strained his credit and does not want to order them. 5 - A 3 pp. ALs (with the envelope) to Frederick Locker dated Sept. 24, 1886. A note of thanks containing a comment and compliment on the author's verse: " I suppose, if you please, you may say your verses are thin. (Would you so describe an arrow, by the way? And one that has struck the gold? ... and I have found them inimitably elegant ...." 6 - A 3pp. ALs to his mother dated June 27, 1887. He is responding to a letter of hers that has "vexed" him. She was refusing the proposed move to America for which Stevenson was arguing. 7 - A 2pp. ALs (with the envelope) to Frederick Locker dated Feb. 5, 1887. A short complaint laden letter about his health. 8 - A lengthy, closely written autograph note signed in full to Frederick Locker, dated Sept. 1886. Stevenson's response to Locker sending him a check for what Stevenson states was not an appeal for money but for Locker's intercession on behalf of an acquaintance for an application to Christ's Hospital. The letter is a lengthy explanation of his reasoning behind the request and how it may have appeared as an appeal for money.

Description
210mm x 130mm. Printed in 1805 in England. Engraved by J. Pass. Hand colored engraving. In very good condition with the binding holes on the left. Marcus Bloch was born in Anspach. He was a medical doctor but became interested in natural history at an early age and studied intestinal worms. When he was 57, Bloch began his studies of fish. His first original work was on German fish. His study of foreign fish was based on the work of others thereby incorporating a great deal of inaccurate findings along with imaginative illustrations. He was one of the first students of fish to publish a series of fish prints. Bloch worked with many artists and J. Pass was just one of many.
