Keeping Festival in Ardenne, A Romance (186, 399, 375 & 331 pages), posthumously printed by Bentley (London) in 1826, three years after Radcliffe's death, and published by Henry Colburn. St. Alban's Abbey, political pieces, and a memoir of the author, with excerpts from her journals, are included. These volumes have been recovered with simple but well-fabricated brown cloth (app. 7.25" x 4.75"), which has no stains, creases or tears. The gold lettering is as new. There are no indications as to bindery. The connection to the inside is secure. The inside is in good condition. There are recurrent stains, most light, and a number of creases to upper outside corners, from page turn-downs. Most pages have few or no stains. All the text is unfaded and legible. There are no tears. The binding is tight, with no loose or missing pages. The only extraneous elements are the ink stamps of the United University Club, a gentleman's club founded in 1821, and a few pencil notations to end pages.
