This copy is from 1823 and was published in London by John Murray. I noticed this book in a bin of discards at a Goodwill warehouse in Southern California a few years ago. It had no covers, but the fore edges were lavishly gilt and demanded a quick look. So I purchased this derelict and found out that this was a splendid old translation, one of the first English translations of Faust. I had it rebound by Starr Bookworks, who then were in Arizona. Now they are in Spartanburg, SC. The finished product is quite the work of art. They have resurrected several old finds for me over the years and I’ll post more in the near future.

Found this at a local thrift store. Didn’t realize that the inscription on the ffep was by the author until I got it home and was able to do some research on the author. But I have not yet found out who Bernie was. Perhaps someone who reads this post might know?? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
