Description

The First Issue of the True First Edition, very scarce and significantly important. With American Stationers Co.'s circular quill imprint on the title-page. 8vo, publisher's original textured brown/black cloth, with the spine lettered in gilt within a gilt frame. While there are known variations to the bindings no priority is given and all first edition copies are first printing, first issue. Now housed in a handsome light brown cloth-covered folding box with two dark brown morocco labels lettered and ruled in gilt. 4 ads, 334, 16 catalogue pp. An unusually handsome and well preserved copy, very scarce as such, the text with far less than the typical foxing that is always present due to the paper stock used, otherwise extremely clean and fresh, the hinges solid and firm, the binding dark and unfaded with bright gilt, very minor wear or rubbing at the tips and extremities, the front blank free-fly with a small amount of loss to the bottom outside corner, and a short closed tear without loss to the first leaf of the advertisement catalogue, early ownership notation of Eliz. L. Parkman.
