Original blue cloth on flexible card covers with gilt spine title. Originally named Edmund Fiske Green, Fiske took the name of his great-grandfather. A graduate of Harvard, he was refused a teaching position there on the basis of his personal philosophy, so he served as librarian there, instead. Fiske was always an exceptional scholar of languages and history, and his historical writing is broadly known and respected. He is credited with popularizing the theories of Darwin. Born in 1842, he died in 1901. Top edges gilt; front and foot untrimmed. No faults. 105 pp. with bibliography. Size: 16mo - over 5¾" - 6¾" tall.

Store description
We specialize in old hardcovers, and also have an extensive selection of local/Maritimes history. On December 31, 2023, we were forced to close our 23-year-old bricks and mortar bookstore due to a change in the building's ownership. We now operate online from our home (order pickup by appointment only).
