About This Item
New York:: J. B. Ford and Company,, 1873.. Hardcover -. Good overall in decorated dark green cloth lettered in gilt on the spine, and in black on the front cover, dark brown endpapers. (previous owners' name, some fraying to the ends of the spine and the corners of the boards. usual toning to the pages). Early printing. The story of Harry Henderson, the narrator, who comes to New York to work in publishing, and Eva Van Arsdale, the daughter of a wealthy Wall Street financier. In addition to the love story - and commentary on life in New York city after the Civil War - this is an expression of nostalgia for the loss of family centered rural communities as Stowe had known in New England. Despite the fact that the preface claims that the characters in this novel do not represent any real person. this contains a thinly veiled attack and mockery of suffragist and free love advocate Victoria Woodhull in the character of Audacia Dangereyes. Illustrated with a frontispiece with a tissue guard and seven internal engraved plates, . vii, 474 pp plus seven page publisher's catalogue at the rear. ,
