P. F. Collier, NY, 1885. Hardcover. Very Good. "The life of Washington Irving was one of the brightest ever led by an author. He discovered his genius at an early age; was graciously welcomed by his countrymen; answered the literary condition of the period when he appeared; won easily, and as easily kept, a distinguished place in the republic of letters; was generously rewarded for his work; charmed his contemporaries by his amiability and modesty; lived long, wisely, happily, and died at a ripe old age, in the fullness of his powers and his fame... Born under a lucky star, all good things sought him out, and were turned by him to delightful uses." [Opening, 'Life of Washington Irving' by Richard Henry Stoddard] Washington Irving was America's first "Man of Letters." Minor shelf wear to to botton edges and corners. Fading to the spine. Otherwise, the books are in Very Good condition. 1ST THUS. Scarce.
