New York: Harper & Brothers. Near Fine in Near Fine dust jacket. 1942. Facsimile. Hardcover. Slipcase has some rubbings. Lower spine on Vol. 2 dust jacket has a tiny tear (1/4"). Both volumes have sun fading on the spines of their dust jackets. ; Both volumes, dustjackets and slipcase are in excellent condition - exception noted. The author, visiting from England in 1834, wrote "what was to become one of the most famous of all travel diaries - a shrewd, lifely and amusing account. Men of all degrees and all beliefs were delighted to call this wise, witty, dauntless woman friend." We believe the publication of this facsimile edition is 1942 given that it was done so by Harper & Brothers "as part of its 125th Anniversary celebration." ; 8vo 8" - 9" tall .

Description:
New York:: Harper & Brothers, 1942. A square, tight set -- complete in 2 volumes -- of this facsimile reprint of the 1838 First American Edition. Sharp corners. No owner's name or bookplate. Pages are clean, crisp, and unmarked -- probably never read. Each volume has "1838" printed the foot of its title page, with no later years or printings indicated anywhere. However, this is almost certainly the facsimile reprint that Harper's published in 1942 as part of their 125th anniversary celebration. [Unlike the first London edition which appeared in 3 volumes, the First American Edition from Harper's was issued in 2 volumes only; See Howes USIANA]. Both volumes are bound in original green textured cloth, with a printed paper spine label. Each volume still has its original red geometric-pattern Dust Jacket (now protected in removable mylar). Red color has moderately faded on spines of DJs, however all lettering on the jackets remains clear and distinct. According to…

Description:

Harriet Martineau (1802 - 1876) was an English author and social theorist. who traveled throughout the eastern United States in 1834-36 and describes her experiences and observations of American society with lively detail and uncommon insight.

Volume one is foxed to a larger extent than volume two; several pages are torn at the lower extremities have been sewn with old linen (this set was obviously valued by an early owner).

Description:
London: Saunders and Otley NY: Harper, 1838. First US edn. 8vo, pp. 276, 239. 2 volumes bound in one in later 3/4 calf, some light foxing, but a very good clean tight set. Not in Graff, Howes M-348; Robinson p. 144; Sabin 44941; Clark III, 205. Martineau (1802-76) is remembered as an essayist, educator and novelist. Her two books on her journey to the US are remarkable for her outspoken criticism of slavery and criticism of repressive chivalry. Robinson notes that Martineau's Society in America discusses the politics of her visit to America while this work discusses the mechanics of her travel, which took her the length of America: from Niagara to Texas, where she spent a good deal of time in the South. She mentions New Orleans, Charleston, SC, and Virginia before heading to Baltimore, Lexington (KY) and Cincinnati.
