St. Elmo or Saved at Last.

Nicely done up in the publisher's maroon cloth with spine and upper board lettering gilt with gilt decorative spine devices. Reprinted from the edition of 1866, octavo, pp. 458. The original publishing date is sometimes cited as 1867, but see BAL 22984, which states the book was advertised as "now ready" in the American Literary Gazette and Publishers' Circular of December 1, 1866. See also Wright II: #2765 s.v. Wilson, Mrs. Augusta Jane (Evans). The author, born in Columbus, Georgia, was possibly the first woman in the US to exceed $100,000 in earnings from her writings. A scarce item in institutional holdings, with a 2023 OCLC search returning Atlanta History Center only.
