This Polyglot Press Second Edition of Peter Newbolt's ?G.A. Henty 1832-1902: A Bibliographical Study? contains the original 710 pages of 1996 text, unchanged, as well as 46 pages of new addenda and corrigenda by Peter Newbolt (1996 and 2001) and Stuart Wilson (2005), a new Preface by Newbolt and a lengthy forward by Harland Eastman. It has also been re-indexed to incorporate the new addenda and corrigenda. It carries the full approval of the G.A. Henty Society.Listings and illustrations are included from over 500 editions and issues of all Henty's books up to the end of the 1920s, his work in newspapers and periodicals, and, for the first time, examples of his own drawings, sent from Abyssinia in 1868 and printed in the London press.Newbolt gives accounts of Henty's main publishers, all important in their day, though some, including the eccentric William Tinsley, a character in whom Dickens would have delighted, are now little-known. There are notes on over 100 artists, and essays on the printing, binding, and illustration processes used for Henty's books. This important contribution to the history of book-publishing will be invaluable to collectors of all authors of the mid-nineteenth to early-twentieth centuries.Paraphrasing Harland Eastman, this bibliography is a tribute to Henty and a monument to Peter Newbolt. Over two decades in the making, it is thorough, scholarly and, unlike most bibliographies, readable. The assurance and ease of Newbolt's prose give no hint of the difficulties that confronted him. His command of the English language and the techniques of bibliography are models for others to follow. The result he has achieved will serve as a standard by which other works in the genre can be measured.Newbolt's study has been praised by the Antiquarian Book Monthly, Times Literary Supplement, Oxford University Press, Children's Book History Society Journal and won the Children's Book History Society's Harvey Darton Award.
