Clinton Hall, NY: Redfield, 1852. First edition, 8vo, pp. 172, [6], plus [14]-page publisher's catalogue; publisher's device on title-page; original brown cloth with covers stamped in blind, and spine stamped and lettered in gilt; the spine and small adjacent areas of covers faded, the extremities a bit worn with spine ends beginning to fray, light scattered foxing throughout; a very good copy. Alice Carey (1820-1871) was an Ohio writer and abolitionist whose literary works in periodicals drew favorable attention from the likes of Poe and Whittier. This, Carey's third book, is also her first solo book of poetry; she had previously published Poems jointly with her sister, Phoebe. BAL 2805.
