About This Item
New York: Sheldon and Company, 1865. 2nd (?) edition. Twelvemo. 192 pp. Illustrated in the text. Publisher's elaborately blind-stamped salmon cloth with gilt spine lettering and decoration, pale yellow endpapers, Minor sunning to spine, else a very good copy."The Adventures of Billy Bump" is a mixture of comedy, adventure, social satire, and etiquette lessons: Billy, a yokel from "Sundown," goes to live with relatives in Boston, with humorous results. Young readers quickly became Billy's champions, resenting the author's sometimes-satiric tone. Billy Bump went on to become an Argonaut in "The Adventures of Billy Bump on the Pacific Coast; A tale of '49".
