About This Item
Boston: Gray and Bowen, 1830, 1830. First edition. BAL 14874; Wright I, 1943; American Imprints 2696. Cloth somewhat worn and faded; some light foxing; very good copy.. 12mo, original purple muslin spine, tan boards, printed paper label, untrimmed. An unusual novel based on Neal's experiences in England, where he lived and worked as a writer between 1824 and 1827. Always a vocal partisan for American language and ways, the story relies heavily on dialogue and the contrasts between the two cultures. Contemporary ink signature of J. D. Harman on the title-page.
