About This Item
Boston: Ticknor and Fields, 1862. 1st Edition. Hardcover. Good+. A pair of 1862 editions, after the first (1861). Perfectly unsophisticated publishers bindings - uniform, mauve, pebbled cloth, blind-stamped. Some cocking, some abrasion to front cover on second volume. Like a pair of sturdy old, comfortable shoes, showing natural age and wear. (No names, inscription, or bookplates which is unusual for the period).
