The two volume first printings of Mark Twain's autobiography, dictated by him during the last years of his life. The first edition, first printing of these works, with 'H-Y' and 'First Edition' to the colophon of each volume, and duplicate half titles to volume II. BAL state A.Illustrated with a frontispiece to each volume, retaining the original tissue guard. Collated, complete.The memoir contains a rambling collection of anecdotes and ruminations, rather than being a chronology detailed autobiography. This is as a result of Twain dictating the memoir, rather than writing it himself.With the inscription 'H. G. Haymaker Foreign Office' to each front free endpaper.With two pages of advertisements to the rear of volume II.Compiled and edited by Twain's personal friend and literary executor Albert Bigelow Paine, this is a smart first edition of the autobiography of this major literary figure. In the publisher's original cloth bindings. Bumping to spine head and tail. Rubbing to joints, with fading to back strip, and mark to tail of volume I back strip. Rear hinge of volume I and front hinge of each volume strained, and slightly tender. Inscription to front free endpapers. Internally, generally firmly bound. Spotting to title pages and frontispiece perimeters, with pages otherwise generally clean and bright. Very Good
