New York: T.Y. Drowell & Company, 1926. Book. Illus. by portrait frontispiece of Emerson. Near Fine. Hardcover. 12mo - over 6¾ - 7¾" tall. Original dark green cloth with gilt title on the front and the unfaded spine. Top edge gilt. Only a hint of edgewear, and no scuffs or bumps. Inside, no prior owner marks, very clean and tight , and no browning, no stains, no foxing. In short, an handsome copy. I find no hint of a publication date. The 1926 is a guess based on style..
