1895. HOWELLS, W.D. THEIR WEDDING JOURNEY. With Illustrations by Clifford Carleton. Boston: Houghton, Mifflin and Company, 1895. First edition with these illustrations; not noted in BAL. White cloth stamped in gilt, patterned endpapers, t.e.g. Hinges starting. Very small patch of damp-staining affecting just pages edges at the heel; boards just slightly skewed; touch of soil to cloth. Still, a very good, attractive copy; in the linen dust jacket, which bears some soiling and wear.
Sinopsis
From the book:They first met in Boston, but the match was made in Europe, where they afterwards saw each other; whither, indeed, he followed her; and there the match was also broken off. Why it was broken off, and why it was renewed after a lapse of years, is part of quite a long love-story, which I do not think myself qualified to rehearse, distrusting my fitness for a sustained or involved narration; though I am persuaded that a skillful romancer could turn the courtship of Basil and Isabel March to excellent account. Fortunately for me, however, in attemp-ting to tell the reader of the wedding-journey of a newly married couple, no longer very young, to be sure, but still fresh in the light of their love, I shall have nothing to do but to talk of some ordinary traits of American life as these appeared to them, to speak a little of well-known and easily accessible places, to present now a bit of landscape and now a sketch of character. They had agreed to make their wedding-journey in the simplest and quietest way, and as it did not take place at once after their marriage, but some weeks later, it had all the desired charm of privacy from the outset. "How much better," said Isabel, "to go now, when nobody cares whether you go or stay, than to have started off upon a wretched wedding-breakfast, all tears and trousseau, and had people wanting to see you aboard the cars.
