About this Item
Three Volumes in Two. First American edition. 8vo., orig. light brown cloth, vii, 422; v, 470pp. Ink name on e/paper of both volumes, some foxing throughout, light wear to spine ends but in fact a fine, attractive set. The correspondence between Carlyle and Emerson reveals that Emerson was so impressed with this work that he made an arrangement with Carlyle for the publication of an American edition. The American edition was printed from Emerson s own copy of the English edition as "it was the only one in the country." As the edition began to sell Emerson made payments to Carlyle that "came most opportunely as the English edition yielded nothing," a fact that had caused Carlyle to despair of ever earning a living through writing and literature. Dyer p. 85. Seller Inventory # 34047
