About This Item
Boston: Houghton Mifflin and Company, 1906. Hardcover. 8vo. Coral cloth with paper spine label. ix, 208pp (rectos only). Tissue-guarded frontispiece. Very good. Binding mildly edgeworn and age toned, with miniscule chipping at head of spine; paper spine label is the "spare" originally bound in at rear, as it's bright and pristine; faint inoffensive abrasion on front pastedown and front flyleaf an expert contemporary replacement; internally tight and near fine. Tight and nice first edition, limited to 530 numbered copies (this #250), of this highly-regarded guide to the works of the versatile American critic, poet, diplomat, editor and man of letters (1819-91). The most discreet ex-library imaginable, main evidence being a small and faint blind-emboss on title page.
