Sobre este artículo
Lowell, James Russell. HEARTSEASE AND RUE. New York & Boston: Houghton, Mifflin, 1888. First edition, first printing, second state (page 63/4 cancelled, as usual). Original white quarter cloth, and boards, gilt. The first printing was 3,060 copies, and the cancel was made on February 28, before publication; from BAL's notes it would seem that only the 1,030 copies sent to London for the English issue escaped being canceled. Some dust, but a very good copy, inscribed by Lowell to his life-long friend: Charles W. Story in pencil on the front end paper: "To C. W. Story with the author's love. 7th March, 1888." Lowell's "compliments" card is also laid in. The publisher's binding on this copy was designed by Sarah Whitman. Allen-Gullans, p. 100. BAL 13194.
