About This Item
No dust jacket. Published during the last year of the Civil War, this was before the public knew that Currer Bell was actually Charlotte Brontë. The pages are generally clean and tight although one page has torn free of the stitching. The cover is worn and soiled, and the fabric over the spine has come loose along the front edge. I am selling this one "as is" because I haven't the ability to effect repairs. If you do, then you will have a very rare book once you have completed the task. There are no markings within the book. (I have been unable to actually find a 1864 edition on the market and very few others with Currer Bell as the author.)
