Sobre este artículo
Boston & New York: Houghton, Mifflin and Company, 1906. First Edition. Hardcover. Touching inscription from a husband to his wife in the year of publication on the front endpaper; light wear to spine tips. Very Good, lacking as usual the dustwrappers and slipcase. Two volumes in original green cloth with paper spine labels and extra labels tipped in at the rear. One of 200 large-paper copies with an ORIGINAL MANUSCRIPT PAGE of Hearn's, in this case an excerpt from THE ROMANCE OF THE MILKY WAY. In full: "accomplishments made Busanshi suspect that she had been brought up in the court of some prince, or in the palace of some great lord. She displayed a perfect knowledge of the etiquette and the polite arts which are taught only to ladies of the highest rank; and she possessed astonishing skill in calligraphy, in painting, and in every kind of poetical composition. Busanshi presently fell in love with her, and thought only of how to please her. When scholar-friends or other visitors of importance came to the house, he would send."
