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.

Born in 1842, he died in 1901. Top edges gilt; front and foot untrimmed. No faults. 105 pp. with bibliography. Size: 16mo - over 5�" - 6�" tall.

Biography

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).
