$27,500.00

Out-of-Stock

10 days
FIRST AMERICAN EDITION, FIRST PRINTING, and FIRST BINDING, with the publisher's circular device blindstamped on the front and back board. Publisher's original black cloth, rebacked, preserving the original gilt-stamped spine [but for the head and foot where the decorative gilt rules have been renewed] and the original brownish orange endpapers. Complete with double fly-leaves at the front and back, six pages of terminal advertisements and a final blank leaf as called for by BAL. There are a few small raindrop-sized dampstains to the cloth at the top of the front board, and a 1½ by 3 inch patch of residual wrinkling at the bottom. Internally, the book is quite clean, with only some light foxing, some typical show-through of the binder's paste on the endpapers, and the ink signature of the original purchaser, Lucien Carr of St. Louis, Mo., on the title-page. Lucien Carr [1829-1915], at the time an aspiring journalist for the St. Louis Missouri Republican, subsequently married Cornelia Crow, the daughter of the founder of George Washington University. Following the Civil War, he moved to Cambridge where he became assistant curator of Harvard University's newly-established Peabody Museum. A Very Good copy.
