About This Item
Kansas City, MO: Press of Hudson-Kimberly Publishing Co, 1897. Hardcover. Small 8vo. Dark green pebble-grain blind-embossed cloth with reddish-copper spine lettering. 461pp. Tissue-guarded frontispiece, decorative endpapers. Very good. Faintest of binding edgewear, though internally tight and near fine; neatly excised 2" X 1" rectangle from title page center (bearing author signature?) discreetly, archivally replaced with period stock; some stains on bottom page edges and near bottom of outer page edges (but none extending onto recto or verso of pages themselves). A tight, attractrive second edition of this worshipful study first published in Cincinnati in 1867. Rather uncommon. HOWES E 54. NEVINS I, 85.
