HODGSON, William Earl.

Unrest, or the newer Republic ...

London: W. H. Allen & Co. ... 1887. 8vo., pp. vii, [1], 311, [1], a very good copy in the original grey cloth blocked in black and lettered in gilt. First edition, and a splendid response to W. H. Mallock’s celebrated New Republic by the prolific angling author W. Earl Hodgson. The mode of the novel, a sort of philosophical dialogue à clef, derives directly from The New Republic, although the setting differs, in that angling plays much more prominent a role. Unrest, or the newer Republic is dedicated to Mallock, and one of its interlocutors, Hallock, is clearly Mallock himself. Not in Sadleir or Wolff; Library Company of Philadelphia and Texas only in NUC and Supplement; OCLC and RLIN add no further copies.
