Item description from seller

Octavo. Pp. xvi, 864. Seventh edition. "In this edition many authors are cited who have not been represented before, and numerous phrases added. To the quotations from Shakespeare over 300 lines are added, and those from Emerson, Gibbon, Johnson [et alii] have been largely increased." INSCRIBED ON THE FIRST BLANK "WITH THE KIND REGARDS AND BEST WISHES OF GEO. W. CHILDS, PHILADELPHIA, JAN. 8, 1876." G.W Childs was the first publisher to use "blurbs" to advertise books, and the first to send authors on signing tours. He was the editor and owner of The Public Ledger, a Philadelphia newspaper. Internally fine, in half calf, gilt to spine, and marbled boards and edges. Considerable rubbing to extremities.
