Harper & Bros. [c1923]. Hard Cover. "The seeing eye, accurate memory, and understanding heart, quickened and fostered by his alma mater of river life and pilot experience, contributed largely to [Twain's] subsequent success in humorous and descriptive writing; indeed, without keen observation and generous sympathy, genuine humor is impossible. And it is of the river life which he knew so intimately, that he has written most convincingly and artistically." xviii, [2], 527 p., portrait front., 19 cm.; green cloth boards; minor wear, top of spine torn, name on top edge, ink owner's name & inscription; good. 33709.
