A wonderful copy of 'Garnered Sheaves: A Tale for Boys' by Emma Raymond Pitman, a self-described 'authoress' of the nineteenth century. It contains four charming engraved plates including the frontispiece detailing the adventure story. This edition is presented in a full calf binding, with a pleasing gilded spine and edges. It contains a prize bookplate dated July 1892 denoting that the book was awarded to a Miss C. Cowper for Second Prize for Writing and Arithmetic from Ettrick Bank in Edinburgh. There is also a lovely crest signifying the publishing house Blackie & Son, a Glaswegian press, on the title page featuring the motto 'Lucem Libris Disseminamus', translating to 'We Scatter the Light of Books'.
