About This Item
Boston Roberts Brothers, 1872, hardcover. Early reprint edition 1872 in similar format to the original: spines and title pages: Part First; Part Second; publisher's ad at rear states two volumes $3.00. -- Each volume has four illustrations. -- This copy was gifted to the owner in 1873, with a quote about friendship, written in a tiny elegant hand. -- Hardcover, two volumes, green cloth with elaborate gold spine decoration, brown endsheets. Condition: good-only (spines slanted and tips worn; covers lightly rubbed; hinges cracked on outside and inside and were possibly repaired; stain top- and bottom-edges which shows on inner margins of pages). -- Overall, the decorated spines are fairly attractive, and the early ownership makes a charming addition to this much-loved classic.
