Sobre este artículo
Philadelphia: Lea and Blanchard, 1842. This is a Very Good copy of a Later Printing of the First American Edition (lacking the point of missing chapter title on p.21). Marbled paper-covered boards with leather spine and tips; gilt titling with rules on the spine. Clean text; iv, 323 pages; includes the exerpt from "Master Humphrey's Clock" at the end. Although there is occasional spotting and faint floodmarks, the text is generally rather bright and supple; easily read today. There is a small bookplate (contemporary) on the front paste-down, and a later signature on the free endpaper. Covers are rather extensively rubbed, corners bumped to a fray, and there are a large chips on the front and spine; the spine has been repaired with some sort of cello tape. While far from a Binding Copy, this would be a good candidate for a rebind; as it is, a good Reading Copy.. First American Edition.. Half-Leather. Very Good/No Jacket. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall.
