Sobre este artículo
The MacMillan Company, New York, 1900; First Edition; 12mo, 385 pages plus 5 pages of publisher’s advertisements at the back; top page edges gilt; illustrated with frontispiece and eight additional plates by Harry Fenn and J.C. Earl. James Lane Allen’s brooding novel of the beginnings of doubt in a pious man whose faith is shaken by theories of modern science and evolution, evidence of which he suddenly becomes aware during his daily interactions with nature as a Kentucky hemp farmer at the close of the Civil War. First edition, first state, with illustrations in photogravure and without the word "facing" before the numerals on page vii. Beautifully bound in illustrated red cloth featuring a magnificent green and silver hemp plant overlaid with gilt titles. Fine, exceptionally clean, crisp, bright, corners sharp. Tanned ghost on the outer margins of the pastedowns, from contact with the flaps of the original dust jacket. Previous owner neat name and date in a small hand on f.f.e.p. A brilliant copy.
