Anthony Trollope; His Work, Associates and Literary Originals

Chapter XV: Closing Acquaintances, Scenes, and Books (2)

Text size

Messrs. Smith & Elder, having offered Trollope £1000 for the copyright of a three-volume novel to appear serially in their new venture, the _Cornhill_, declined _Castle Richmond_ on account of its Irish character, but begged him to frame some other story, suggesting the Church as a theme peculiar to his powers. He thereupon fell back on his old Barchester friends and wrote a tale that became increasingly popular as it proceeded. _Framley Parsonage_ appeared in the _Cornhill_ from January 1860 to April 1861. The author himself doubted the possibility of making a character more life-like than Lucy Robarts.

1862

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.

1862

8vo. Vol. I., pp. viii.; folding map, 467; Vol. II., pp. viii, 494
(Appendices A, B, and C, pp. 467-494.)

On the outbreak of the War of Secession in 1861 Trollope applied for nine months’ leave of absence from the Post Office and visited America, writing as he went from State to State. It is interesting to note that, contrary to the very strong feeling in England in favour of the South, he felt with and prophesied the victory of the North. The book met the demand of the moment; second and third editions were published in the same year, and Trollope received £1250.

Republished from various periodicals.

For the first of this series see under 1861. For these two books and (probably) for _Lotta Schmidt_, virtually one of the same series, though the title was discontinued, Trollope received a total sum of £1830. The tales reflect much of his own experiences.

1863

Small 8vo. Vol I., pp. iv, 319; Vol. II., pp. iv, 310.

Written at the request of Dr. Norman Macleod for _Good Words_, _Rachel Ray_ was partly printed by him, and then returned with profuse apologies as unsuitable--as Trollope had predicted it would be. It therefore appeared in ordinary volume form. A later and cheaper edition contained one illustration by Millais. Trollope received a total of £1645.

1864

Octavo. Vol. I., pp. 312; Vol. II., pp. 316.

Vol. I. contains ten illustrations; Vol. II., eight.

On the conclusion of _The Struggles of Brown, Jones, and Robinson_, this far more popular work appeared serially in the _Cornhill_ from September 1862 to April 1864. Published in book form in 1864, it ran into a third edition within the year, and Trollope received a sum of £3000. Sir Raffle Buffle, a hero of the Civil Service, was intended to represent a type, not a man; but the man for the picture was soon chosen. Trollope, however, had never seen, and never did see, the supposed prototype.

1864

8vo. Vol. I., pp. vi, 320; Vol. II., pp. vi, 320.

This story was partly formed on a comedy, _The Noble Jilt_, written by Trollope in 1850 and refused by George Bartley, the actor-manager. It became very dear to the author as the first of a series that continued with _Phineas Finn_, _Phineas Redux_, and _The Prime Minister_. _Can You Forgive Her?_ appeared in twenty shilling numbers from August 1863, and Trollope received £3525.

Each volume contains twenty illustrations. Those in the first volume were by “Phiz” (Hablot K. Browne), but Frederick Chapman, the publisher, considered them so bad and incongruous that the remainder were made by a Miss Taylor.

1865

Small 8vo. Vol. I., pp. vi, 312; Vol. II., pp. vi, 313.

Issued in ordinary volume form in the early spring of 1865, _Miss Mackenzie_ was written with the desire to prove love an unessential element in a novel, but the attempt broke down before the conclusion. It brought the author £1300.

1866

Small 8vo. Vol. I., pp. iv, 284; Vol. II., pp. iv, 308; Vol. III.,
pp. iv, 276.

This was the first serial to appear in the new _Fortnightly Review_, established by Trollope and others in May 1865, under the editorship of G. H. Lewes. It brought in a sum of £1757.

VI. The Town Incumbent.
VII. The College Fellow who has taken Orders.

These sketches incurred the wrath of a great dean, and were the subject of a hostile review in the _Contemporary Review_.

1867

8vo. Vol. I., pp. vi, 313; Vol. II., pp. vi, 309.

This was the last book written for the _Cornhill_ in which it appeared serially from February 1866 to May 1867. The total sum received was £2800, being the highest rate of pay ever accorded to Trollope. It was offered by George Smith, the proprietor of the magazine, and paid in a single cheque.

1867

8vo. Vol. I., pp. 384; Vol. II., pp. 384.

The shilling magazines having interfered greatly with the success of novels published in numbers without other accompanying matter, George Smith made the experiment of bringing this book out in monthly parts at sixpence each. The enterprise was not entirely successful, but the author received £3000 for the use of the MS.

He killed off “Mrs. Proudie” in consequence of a conversation he could not help overhearing between two clergymen at the Athenæum Club.

1867

8vo. In One Volume: pp. 403.

The half-fly-leaf bears the words, “Reprinted from ‘Good Words’ and other Magazines.” There is no list of contents, but the titles of the tales are as follows:

Lotta Schmidt.
The Adventures of Fred Pickering.
The Two Generals.
Father Giles of Ballymoy.
Malachi’s Cove.
The Widow’s Mite.
The Last Austrian who left Venice.
Miss Ophelia Gledd.
The Journey to Panama.

Trollope himself appears to have regarded this as the third of the series of _Tales of All Countries_, though the actual title had been abandoned. The stories reflect in some degree his own adventures, and for the three books he received a total of £1830. An edition, dated 1870, contains slight bibliographical variations.

1867

Small 8vo. Vol. I., pp. 228; Vol. II, pp. 215.

Begun in 1865, and published anonymously in _Blackwood’s Magazine_ in 1866, the authorship was discovered by Hutton of the _Spectator_ from the repetition of some special phrase peculiar to Trollope. The total sum received for this book was £450.

1868

Small 8vo. In One Volume, pp. 322.

CONTENTS

On Horse-Racing.
On Hunting.
On Shooting.
On Fishing.
On Yachting.
On Rowing.
On Alpine Climbing.
On Cricket.

Of these eight papers, which appeared in _St. Paul’s Magazine_, only the second, “On Hunting,” pp. 70-129 inclusive, is by Trollope, though the Preface, pp. 1-7 inclusive, is also his.

1868

Small 8vo. Vol. I., pp. 216; Vol. II., pp. 215.

Page v. (unnumbered) of Vol. I. contains a list of the persons of the story.

Written in June and July 1867 for _Blackwood’s Magazine_, in which it appeared anonymously. Neither this nor _Nina Balatka_ was a success, and Blackwood declined the third such tale which was ready for him. (See _The Golden Lion of Granpère_, 1872, below.) Trollope received £450, which was probably not more than half the sum he would have obtained had he allowed his name to appear.

1869

8vo. Vol. I., pp. vi, 320; Vol. II., pp. vi, 328.

The total sum received for this book was £3200. Completed in May 1867, it appeared in the following October in the new _St. Paul’s Magazine_, founded by James Virtue, and edited by Trollope for three and a half years at a salary of £1000 a year. He attended the gallery of the House of Commons for two months in order to describe correctly the ways and doings of a Parliamentary member. It ran till May 1869. See also note to _Can You Forgive Her?_ above.

1869

8vo. In Two Volumes. Vol. I., pp. ix, 384; Vol. II., pp. ix, 384.

First appeared in thirty-two weekly parts (the first four parts being sewed in one); from November 7, 1867 to May 22, 1868.... Price Sixpence each. The paper cover had an illustration by Marcus Stone, and the publishers were Virtue & Company, 294 City Road, and 26 Ivy Lane, Paternoster Row; New York: 12 Dey Street, the proprietors of the _St. Paul’s Magazine_. The total sum received for this book was £3200. It was finished during the negotiations for a postal treaty undertaken by Trollope at Washington.

1870

Small 8vo. In One Volume. With frontispiece and vignette title page
before title page as given above; pp. iv, 254.

This ran serially in the _Cornhill_ from August 1861 to March 1862. It was Trollope’s only--and unsuccessful--attempt at a humorous work. He received £600 for it.

The illustrations were by

John Blackwood having started a series of _Ancient Classics for English Readers_ under the editorship of the Rev. William Lucas Collins, he invited Trollope to write the fourth book of the new venture. Trollope chose his subject and finished the book in three months, giving it as a present to his friend the publisher. It was outside his usual line of work and was coldly received.

1870

8vo. In One Volume, pp. xvi (Preface vii-ix inclusive), 481.

Begun at Washington in 1868 during the negotiations for a postal treaty, the day after finishing _He knew He was Right_, this book was intended for publication in _Once a Week_ in 1869. Owing, however, to the dilatoriness of Victor Hugo, _The Vicar of Bullhampton_, and the translation of _L’Homme qui Rit_ would thus have appeared together, and this the proprietors, Messrs. Bradbury and Evans, naturally deemed unsuitable. They offered Trollope publication in the _Gentleman’s Magazine_, but he refused with some heat, and they then issued the work in eight parts, paying him the sum of £2500.

This book was written with the intention of exciting pity and sympathy for a fallen woman, and the author so far departed from his usual principle as to affix a preface, which he reprinted in his _Autobiography_ (Vol. II., 177), in support of his subject.

1870

8vo. One Volume: pp. 375.

CONTENTS

The Turkish Bath.
Mary Gresley.
Josephine de Montmorenci.
The Panjandrum.
The Spotted Dog.
Mrs. Brumby.

Republished from the _St. Paul’s Magazine_, of which he was editor, these stories reflect in an indirect manner Trollope’s own experiences. He himself considered _The Spotted Dog_ the best of them. The total sum received for this book was £378.

1871

Small 8vo. In One Volume: pp. vii, 323.

Begun in November 1868 on the conclusion of _The Vicar of Bullhampton_, and written on the same plan as _Nina Balatka_ and _Linda Tressel_, this story was sold to _Macmillan’s Magazine_ for £750, in which it appeared serially without any marked success. It was then sold by the proprietors to Messrs. Hurst & Blackett, who proposed bringing it out in two volume form. Trollope, however, had his own ideas as to the proper length of a volume, and persuaded them to print it in one.

A new edition was published by Macmillan & Co., London and New York, in the same year.

1871

Small 8vo. Vol. I., pp. 342; Vol. II., pp. 338; Vol. III., pp. 347.

This ran serially through the _St. Paul’s Magazine_. Trollope thought it one of the worst novels he had ever written, but the plot of it was afterwards used by Charles Reade for his play, _Shilly-Shally_.

The total sum received for this book was £2500, and it was re-issued in the same year by another firm, as follows:

8vo. In One Volume: pp. iv, 434.

1872

8vo. In One Volume: pp. 353.

Written in September and October 1867, this story was intended for anonymous publication in _Blackwood’s Magazine_, but as Blackwood had not found this arrangement profitable in the cases of _Nina Balatka_ and _Linda Tressel_, it lay by until it appeared in _Good Words_ and the author received £550.

1873

Small 8vo. Vol. I., pp. viii, 354; Vol. II., pp. viii, 363; Vol.
III., pp. viii, 354.

This appeared in the _Fortnightly_ from July 1871 during Trollope’s absence in Australia. The legal opinion as to heirlooms which it contains was written by Charles Merewether, afterwards M.P. for Northampton, and Trollope was told that it became the ruling authority on the subject. As regarded sales, this was the most successful book since _The Small House at Allington_. The author received £2500.

1873

8vo. Vol. I., pp. vi, 533. With coloured map as frontispiece; Introduction, pp. 1-22: Queensland, pp. 25-181; New South Wales, pp. 185-348; Victoria, pp. 351-515; Appendices I-V, pp. 516-530; Index, pp. 531-533.

Vol. II., pp. vi, 516. With coloured folding map of Tasmania; Tasmania, pp. 1-76; Western Australia, pp. 79-150; South Australia, pp. 153-250; Australian Institutions, pp. 253-297; New Zealand, pp. 301-494; Conclusion, pp. 497-500; Appendices I-III, pp. 501-512; Index, pp. 513-516.

This was the outcome of a visit to the Antipodes. Trollope, with his wife, left England in May 1871, and returned with the MS. practically finished in December 1872. About 2000 copies of the first edition were sold, and the book again did well in small four-volume form. Trollope received £1300.

1874

Small 8vo. In One Volume, pp. 313.

Written in 1873 by request of the proprietors of the _Graphic_, who paid him £450, _Harry Heathcote_ reflects many of the experiences of Trollope’s second son, who was a sheep farmer in Australia.

1874

Small 8vo. Vol. I., pp. viii, 317; Vol. II., pp. viii, 314.

This story was written on the voyage to Australia in 1871, at the rate of sixty-six pages of MS. a week for eight weeks, each page containing 250 words. Trollope records that he missed one day’s work through illness. It appeared in the _Fortnightly_ in 1873 on the conclusion of _The Eustace Diamonds_.

The total sum received for this book was £1200.

1874

Octavo. Vol. I., pp. vi, 339; Vol. II., pp. v., 329.

This story, with _An Eye for an Eye_, was left behind in a strong box by Trollope when he visited Australia in 1871-2. It was subsequently sold to the proprietors of the _Graphic_ for £2500, in which paper it appeared in 1873.

The illustrations, twelve in each volume, are by Frank Holl.

See also the note under _Can You Forgive Her?_ above.

1875

8vo. Vol. I., pp. vi, 320; Vol. II., pp. vi, 319.

The illustrations are by L. G. F.

This was a vigorous piece of satire, written in Trollope’s new home, 39 Montagu Square, in 1873. It appeared in shilling numbers from February 1874 to September 1875.

The total sum received for this book was £3000.

1876

Small 8vo. Vol. I., pp. vi, 337; Vol. II., pp. iv, 342; Vol. III.,
vi, 346; Vol. IV., pp. vi, 347.

This book appeared in eight parts at five shillings each, with an illustration in medallion on the paper covers, which were engraved by Dalziel. It was in most respects a failure, worse reviewed than any novel Trollope had written. He was especially hurt by a criticism in the _Spectator_. The total sum received for this work was £2500.

See also note under _Can You Forgive Her?_ above.

1877

Small 8vo. Vol. I., pp. viii, 293; Vol. II., pp. viii, 293; Vol.
III., pp. vii, 284.

First appeared in _Temple Bar_ in 1875, while Trollope was engaged upon his _Autobiography_. The total sum received for this book was £1800.

The author himself regarded it as inferior to _The Prime Minister_, but it was more favourably received.

III., pp. vii, 319.

First appeared in _All the Year Round_ in 1877.

Small 8vo. Vol. I., pp. xiv, 259; with a portrait frontispiece and Preface, pp. v-xi, by Henry Merivale Trollope, dated September 1883. Vol. II., pp. 227.

Trollope died on December 6, 1882. His _Autobiography_, which had been written about 1876, was published by his son in 1883. It is on this authoritative work that most of the notes in this Bibliography are based.

1883

Small 8vo. Vol. I., pp. vii, 280; Vol. II., pp. vii, 296; Vol.
III., pp. vii, 291.

The following note by Henry M. Trollope appears in the first volume:

“This novel was to have contained sixty chapters. My father had written as much as is now published before his last illness. It will be seen that he had not finished the forty-ninth chapter; and the fragmentary portion of that chapter stands now just as he left it. He left no materials from which the tale could be completed, and no attempt at completion will be made. At the end of the third volume I have stated what were his intentions with regard to certain people in the story; but beyond what is there said I know nothing.”

In the preface to the _Autobiography_ Mr. Trollope further states this to have been the only book, beside _Framley Parsonage_, of which his father published even the first number before completing the whole tale, and its unfinished condition weighed heavily upon his mind. It appeared in a weekly paper called _Life_, beginning in the autumn of 1882.

1884

Small 8vo. Vol. I., pp. 226; Vol. II., pp. 219.

Vol. I. contains the following note by Henry M. Trollope: “This story, _An Old Man’s Love_, is the last of my father’s novels. As I have stated in the preface to his _Autobiography, The Landleaguers_ was written after this book, but was never fully completed.”

THE BARSETSHIRE NOVELS

The combined republication of the novels dealing with the fictitious county of Barsetshire was undertaken by Chapman and Hall in 1879, under the collective title of _The Chronicles of Barsetshire_. This includes--

The Warden.
Barchester Towers.
Doctor Thorne.
Framley Parsonage.
The Small House at Allington.
The Last Chronicles of Barsetshire.

They filled eight volumes, large crown 8vo.

There is a short introduction in the first volume, and an illustration to each novel, but to _The Last Chronicles_ there are two. Most of these are signed F. A. F(raser). Trollope told his son that he did not really think _The Small House_ belonged to the series, but he was pressed by Frederick Chapman to include the book and therefore he consented.

FUGITIVE ARTICLES

Although this is a Bibliography of First Editions only, some brief indication of Trollope’s more fugitive work may be given.

In 1848-9 he wrote a series of letters to the _Examiner_, under the editorship of John Forster, on the condition of Ireland and in defence of the policy of the Government. No remuneration for these was ever offered him.

In 1855-6, or thereabouts, he wrote several articles for the _Dublin University Magazine_, one on Julius Cæsar, one on Augustus Cæsar, and another, savage in its denunciation, on Competitive Examinations.

Shortly after Thackeray’s death, Trollope wrote an appreciative sketch of his late edition for the _Cornhill_, and this was reprinted, together with an “In Memoriam” article by Charles Dickens, in _Thackeray, the Humourist, and the Man of Letters_, by Theodore Taylor, published by D. Appleton, New York, 1864.

On the establishment of the _Fortnightly Review_ in 1865 he contributed numerous articles, among them one advocating the signature of the authors to periodical writing; another in defence of fox-hunting, in answer to Freeman the historian; and two on Cicero. Many of the reviews are also from his pen.

The _Pall Mall Gazette_ having been founded in the same year (1865), Trollope was for some time a frequent contributor, his Hunting and Clerical Sketches being afterwards reprinted in book form. He wrote on the American War, and reviewed new publications, one of which involved him in a quarrel with a friend. He was also requested to attend the May Meetings at Exeter Hall and give a graphic description of the proceedings. This resulted in only one article, _A Zulu in Search of a Religion_, for Trollope flatly refused to go again.

From 1859 to 1871 he records that he “wrote political articles, critical, social, and sporting articles, for periodicals, without number,” and during the journey to Australia, in 1871-2, he supplied a series of articles to the _Daily Telegraph_. These sundries, when he wrote his _Autobiography_, had brought him a sum of £7800.

UNPUBLISHED AND PROJECTED WORKS

In 1850 Trollope wrote a comedy, partly in blank verse and partly in prose, called _The Noble Jilt_, which was declined by George Bartley, the actor-manager. He afterwards made use of the plot in _Can You Forgive Her?_ Nor was this his only attempt at work for the stage, for in 1869 he dramatised a scene from _The Last Chronicle of Barsetshire_ under the title of _Did He Steal It?_--a comedy in three acts. This, too, was declined by the manager of the Gaiety Theatre, George Hollingshead, who had asked for it. It was, however, printed but not published.

He proposed a handbook on Ireland to John Murray, worked hard on it for some weeks, and submitted nearly a quarter of the supposed length, which was returned, nine months later, without a word. This was about 1850.

Trollope read widely with a view to writing a history of English prose fiction, beginning with _Robinson Crusoe_, but when Dickens and Bulwer Lytton died, his spirit flagged, and the project was abandoned. Early English drama, too, interested him greatly, and he left very many criticisms of plots and characterisation written at the end of each play.

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:

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 7½_d._ For a list of actual sums received, see p. 272.
