Publisher's red cloth, cover bordered in blind and with central Harper & Brother's circular stamp in blind, spine lettered in gilt, brown/orange coated endpapers. Some foxing to text. Rebacked retaining the original spine. Very good. Boxed. First American edition. xxiii, [1], 635, [1], [6, publisher's ads] pp. 1 vols. Thick 8vo. The Greatest American Novel. The greatest nineteenth-century American novel. The first American edition followed the three-volume English edition by a month and contained some thirty-five passages which had been censored or edited out of the English edition. "[Melville's] great book, Moby Dick, was a complete practical failure, misunderstood by the critics and ignored by the public; and in 1853 the Harpers' fire destroyed the plates of all of his books and most of the copies remaining in stock [only about sixty copies survived the fire] ... Melville's permanent fame must always rest on the great prose epic of Moby Dick, a book that has no equal in American literature for variety and splendor of style and for depth of feeling" (Dictionary of American Biography). "Moby Dick is the great conundrum-book. Is it a profound allegory with the white whale the embodiment of moral evil, or merely the finest story of the sea ever written?" (Grolier, American).
