About This Item
New York: H. M. Caldwell Co., 1897. Hardcover. Good/No Jacket. 16mo - over 5¾ - 6¾" tall. 16mo. 139 pages. Hardcover bound in blue cloth with elaborate cover designs embossed in gilt. The binding is a bit rubbed and worn and has some pale spots. Spine is rubbed along the hinges. Corners bumped. Inner hinges secure. No copyright date. The Preface is dated 1880 and the book was given as a Christmas gift in 1897. "Dr. & Mrs. Haight / from Kate Stuart / Xmas 1897." Laid in loosely is a lovely card which appears to be hand-drawn or painted and bears the name "Mrs. Haight." (The card looks to be outlined in pencil and then hand painted or colored). A sound copy. The text has some off-setting from other pages in a few places.
