Folio, 321 x 201mm., neatly penned in dark ink on rectos only of sheets of ledger-ruled foolscap (a typical paper for Doyle), consisting of the author's calligraphic title-page: "Sherlock Holmes Series The Adventure of Charles Augustus Milverton A Conan Doyle Original Manuscript," text of the story on 21 pages. The first page headed by Doyle: "The Return of Sherlock Holmes VII The Adventure of Charles Augustus Milverton" (Doyle's original title "The Adventure of the Worst Man in London" has been neatly lined through and the new title added by the author); the printer's copy, with word-count in pencil at top of first page text ("6,800 wds"). THE TEXT EXHIBITING SOME 70 AUTHORIAL EMENDATIONS AND DELETIONS, the majority in ink (probably made during first writing), others apparently made at an intermediate point, some 15 in purple pencil likely added at a final stage. These and many variations from the printed text are carefully tabulated by Peter Richard in The Milverton Manuscript: An Analysis, London: The Milvertonians of Hampstead, 1963. The manuscript is partially paginated by Doyle in pencil at top left corners (omitting 1,4,19,20,21). BOUND FOR THE AUTHOR in simple vellum over paper boards, plain glazed endpapers. Upper cover inscribed by the author: "Sherlock Holmes A Conan Doyle The Adventure of Charles Augustus Milverton." (Boards slightly bowed, minor soiling). Enclosed in a cloth chemise and half red morocco slipcase. | |||
