ORLEY FARM. | By | Anthony Trollope, | Author of | “Doctor Thorne,” “Barchester Towers,” “Framley Parsonage,” etc. | With illustrations | By J. E. Millais. | In Two Volumes. | London: | Chapman and Hall, 193 Piccadilly. | 1862. | [The right of Translation is reserved.] |
8vo. Vol. I., pp. viii, 320; Vol. II., pp. viii, 320. Each volume contains twenty illustrations.
Completed before he started for America in 1861, this appeared in twenty shilling numbers, and Trollope obtained £3135. While rating the plot highly he thought it declared itself too soon. Of the illustrations by Millais he wrote: “I have never known a set of illustrations so carefully true, as are these, to the conceptions of the writer of the book illustrated. I say that as a writer. As a lover of art I will add that I know no book graced with more exquisite pictures.” The drawing of Orley Farm itself, in the frontispiece, depicts in reality the farmhouse at Harrow in which the Trollope family lived during the author’s boyhood.
