About This Item
London, U.K.: Smith, Elder and Co.. Hardcover. Very Good+. STATED 'NEW EDITION' on title page, Two Volumes in One. Volume One, 195 pages; Volume Two, 304 pages. NO date noted, but c.1868. Very good looking volume. Hawthorne's notes/journal include notes on interacting with fellow writers (Melville, Fields, Holmes, Thoreau, etc.) as well as his many notes for future stories. Dark red book boards, with gilt titles (still bright), but age-darkened book boards overall. Corners gently bumped as is the crown and foot of spine cloth. Age-toning to margins and pre-lims. Blank yellow front free end-paper is slightly pulled away at top edge, still a very tightly bound volume. Suggest Media Postage due to weight. * PLUS a FINE copy of "FIRSTS Book Collector's Magazine' of March 2005 with 10 pages of Bibliographic material on Hawthorne (magazine in its own mylar slip.
