Confessions Of An English Opium Eater
By Thomas De Quincey
Published by MacMillan And Co Limited: London 1901
In Prize Leather & Gilt Presentation Binding From Geelong College

"This elegant 1901 edition of Confessions of an English Opium-Eater by Thomas De Quincey presents the author's celebrated autobiographical reflections alongside a selection of his additional essays. First published in 1821, De Quincey's account of addiction, dreaming, and psychological upheaval quickly became a cornerstone of English Romantic prose, admired for its extraordinary descriptive power and penetrating introspection. This Macmillan printing preserves the clarity of the original text while offering the refined typography and paper quality characteristic of the firm's early 20th-century productions.

The volume is strikingly bound in a full blue leather prize binding from Geelong College, with elaborate gilt tooling to the spine and boards, marbled endpapers, and an intact 1901 prize award bookplate. Its craftsmanship and condition mark it as a distinguished presentation copy, combining literary significance with collector-level aesthetics. A superb example of a classic work in an Australian institutional binding, it will appeal to collectors of fine leather-bound editions, admirers of Romantic-era literature, and those interested in notable prize bindings."
