A first edition of Trollope’s Miss Mackenzie, being the tale of a young women inheriting great wealth following the death in the family. Focusing on social class and society, Trollope produced this work with an intention of a tale without love as a central theme. While it initially had a mixed reaction from readers, the work has now become an excellent example of 19th century class structure, while also being praised for its humor.

The boards are also stained, with wear and a large gash on the spine of volume two. The binding to volume one has detached from the entire book itself.
