Sobre este artículo
New York : Dix, Edwards & Co., 321 Broadway, [Miller & Holman, Printers and Stereotypers, N. Y.],1856, 1856. Book. Fair. Hardcover. 1st Edition. [1st Edition] ; ix pages, 2 leaves, [3]-214 pages ; 20 cm ; OCLC: 5960447 ; LC: PS1487 ; worn grey-green cloth ; badly shaken ; scarce book by George William Curtis, written as a marriage proposal to his future wife ; "For my part, I do not believe that any man can see softer skies than I see in Prue's eyes; nor hear sweeter music than I hear in Prue's voice; nor find a more heavenlighted temple than I know Prue's mind to be. And when I wish to please myself with a lovely image of peace and contentment, I do not think of the plain of Sharon, nor of the valley of Enna, nor of Arcadia, nor of Claude's pictures; but, feeling that the fairest fortune of my life is the right to be named with her, I whisper gently, to myself, with a smile-for it seems as if my very heart smiled within me, when I think of her-' Prue and I.'" ; Laid in is a letter signed by George William Curtis to Mrs. Talbot, regarding the Round Table of Mr. Barrows, dated January 14, 1892; Fair.
