Boston, Cambridge, New York, Philadelphia & London: James Munroe and Company [et al], 1849.. [6],[7]-413,[3]pp. Publisher's black cloth ruled in blind, lettered in gilt. Endsheets slightly tanned, spine ends chipped with 6mm loss at crown and narrow splits at crown and toe of lower outer hinge, foretips worn, upper board shows some light soiling, 1.5cm narrow chip in middle of upper outer hinge, extreme lower fore-tip of lead 21/22 folded and thus a bit over extended when bound; a good, sound copy, internally very good or better, uncommonly clean, with only a hint of occasional light foxing.

Description:
Boston: Ticknor & Fields, 1862.. [6],[7]-413,[3]pp. Publisher's plum brown cloth (Borst's binding 2). Spine faded, with shallow frayed snag at crown, some sunning at edges with a faint, narrow diagonal discoloration in the upper fore-quadrant of the lower cover, very shallow discoloration at the top edge of the first three leaves, otherwise a very good copy. First edition, second issue, of Thoreau's first book. Thoreau originally paid for its publication in an edition of 1000 copies, of which 706 copies (bound and in sheets) reverted to the author after dismal sales. Eventually, in 1862, Ticknor and Fields acquired the remainder of bound and unbound copies, and 500 copies were equipped with a cancel title-leaf, constituting the second issue, as here. Of note is the continued presence of the terminal advert noting that WALDEN "will soon be published." A second, corrected edition was not called for until 1868. BORST A1.1.A2. BAL 20104.
