About This Item
Boston: Houghton, Osgood and Company, 1878. First Edition. Hard Cover. Very Good/No Dust Jacket. First edition (1878). Red cloth cover with some minor wear. Gilt titles and blind stamped design on cover intact and clear. Spine ends and corners lightly rubbed. Penciled dealer notes to front blank pages. Blue endpapers unmarked with a crack/split at hinges. Text unmarked and pages intact. A very nice copy of this first edition. Plum Adirondack Bibliography number 7244. Please see image. 176 pages. Note that this edition has 176 pages, fewer than the later 1882 and other Houghton, Mifflin editions, which added two chapters and which have 226 pages. (All Houghton - whether Houghton Osgood or Houghton Mifflin - editions were issued in varying cover colors - red, green, brown - but all with the same blind stamped design. The 1878 1st editons I have seen have the additional gilt design along the top and lower front edges, as seen here.)
