About This Item
Boston: Russel, Odiorne, and Co, 1833. 8vo, pp. [iii]-ix, [3], 450; half-title and rear flyleaf removed; publisher's original red leather, elaborate blind embossed with decorative peacock and lyre motifs (a binding not noted by BAL), a.e.g., marbled endpapers; rebacked with original spine laid down, edges rubbed and corners bumped, foxed, good and sound. This copy without signature mark 3, so likely later. "The influence of Dana on the literary development of the country came from the vigorous thought, simplicity, and directness of expression which marked his work, in contrast to the sentimental and florid style which characterized most writings of his time" (DAB). Greatly enlarged over the edition of 1833 with the same title. BAL 4426.
