In the summer of 1878, at the invitation of John Burns, afterwards first Lord Inverclyde, he joined a party of friends on board The Mastiff, one of Burns’ steamships, for a sixteen days’ cruise to Iceland. He was asked by his host to write an account of the trip, and did so, the book being issued, for private circulation only, in quarto form, to admit of the illustrations (the illustrator was also one of the party) and a map. Its title-page reads as follows:
HOW THE “MASTIFFS” WENT | TO ICELAND | By Anthony Trollope | With Illustrations by Mrs Hugh Blackburn| London: Virtue & Co., Limited | 1878 |
Trollope at different times gave a few lectures, which he had printed but never published. The subjects of these included, among others:
| The Civil Service as a Profession. |
| The War in America. |
| English Prose Fiction as a Rational Amusement. |
| The Higher Education of Women. |
(With regard to the last it may be noted that he was always opposed to female suffrage.)
AMERICAN ROYALTIES
As Trollope was commissioned by the Foreign Office when in America in 1861 to make an effort on behalf of international copyright, it is worthy of note that he himself was pirated widely. One book (perhaps Is He Popenjoy?), for which he received £1600 in England, was sold by his publishers here to an American firm for £20, the highest price they would give, considering the chance of piration by other houses. In the American form it was published at 7½d. For a list of actual sums received, see p. 272.
