Sobre este artículo
Boston: Ticknor and Fields, 1864. Hardcover. Complete 3-volume set. Quarter calf with gilt spine decorations and paper labels (expert contemporary replacements) and red marbled paper over boards. viii, 405pp; iv, 378pp; viii, 430pp. Frontispieces, marbled endpapers and page edges. Very good. Faint edgewear and scuffed marbled paper, though internally white, bright and near fine. A tight, quite handsome early printing of this English classic in a classy custom binding of the period; Ticknor and Fields first published "School Days at Rugby" in 1857 and "Tom Brown at Oxford" in 1861. From the library of Wisconsin civic leader JAMES M. LYNCH, chief clerk at the Adjutant General's Office during the Civil War, appointed quartermaster general in 1865. He boldly signs the inner flyleaf of the first volume in brown ink, dating it "Milwaukee, Wis. / Oct. 31, 1865." Inner flyleaf of the second volume ("Part First" of the 2-volume "Tom Brown at Oxford") bears pencilled nonauthorial gift inscription to him (though in Lynch's hand!) "From Andr. Sexton / To his friend / James M. Lynch / Decbr 25, 1865."
