Sobre este artículo
Boston and New York: Houghton Mifflin and Company, 1905 First trade edition, printed October 1905. Hard cover, 12mo., (measuring 5 x 7 ½ inches), in three quarter brown morocco with gilt, marbled paper covered boards, gilt title to spine with six raised bands, top edge gilt, glazed marbled endpapers, engraved bookplate of William Caleb Loring, inscription to ffep "William Caleb Loring from his loving wife-Christmas 1906." Includes five illustrations including engraved portrait frontispiece of the author. Condition: Very Good Minus. The volume is generally clean and tight, having had minimal use. The text is moderately age toned. The outer joints and top half inch of spine are notably rubbed. Fore edges dusty. This book once belonged to William Caleb Loring, an Associate Justice of the Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court, and purchased from the estate of his descendants. Additionally, there is a connection of the book's subject, Mr. Lowell, to the Loring family; the book mentions Lowell's first job after Harvard Law to be in the Boston firm of Mr. C.G.Loring (page 49), where he apparently did little legal work and instead noodled around writing poetry. Also both the Author, Ferris Greenslet, a longtime director and literary adviser at the publisher Houghton Mifflin Company, and his biography's subject, were once editors at the Atlantic Monthly. The fireside poet's correspondence, among other sources, are used to cast light on Lowell's career as a poet, abolitionist and diplomat. This is listed among the works of book designer Bruce Rogers. (The Work of Bruce Rogers, Jack of All Trades: Master of One, American Institute of Graphic Arts and the Grolier Club, 1939. No. 735.) . First Edition. Hard Cover. Very Good Minus.
