Very good. "Bookseller Bernard Quaritch bought the copyright and all reprint rights from Mrs. Faraday circa 1878. As Quaritch noted in a public letter: "Availing myself of the opportunity of buying from Mrs Faraday the copyright and existing stock, I completed, by facsimile reprint, a small number of copies as is plainly stated on the title-pages of vols I and 2." Quaritch used original printer Francis and Edwards for the facsimile reprints, the goal to make them as close as possible to the originals without creating an impression that new material was being published. A side effect of acquiring the extra sheets for Vol III was that some mixed sets were produced. AS OFFERED HERE, a few sets were bound uniformly in the Quaritch facsimile reprint binding, with Vols I and II having the Quaritch imprint, and with Volume III using the first edition sheets. Eventually Quaritch ran out of the original backstock, issuing Vol III with the Quaritch imprint as well."
