1st edition. This copy has inserted a transcript of a paragraph from page 46 of the book, "'I wish to offer a toast' he said, 'a toast for the old bachelors to drink. Wish you Merry Christmas and - and here's to her'!" Signed by the author and dated December 1897. Also inserted is a three-page autograph letter from the author, on his letterhead, dated "Dec. 12, 1897," addressed to "My dear Miss Laughlin." Clara E. Laughlin (1873-1941) was the author of more than 35 books, headed a Travel Service with offices in Chicago, Los Angeles, New York, and Paris, and published a monthly magazine with a circulation of more than 80,000. In this case, Grant (a popular novelist of his day) writes to the young Laughlin with "the congratulations of a philosopher on your entertaining article the 'Martyrdom of Fame' in the current Scribner. I have read it with much enjoyment & have heard others praise it." Later in the note he admonishes himself for not asking Laughlin to lunch when she was in Boston, thinking that perhaps she "preferred to wish lunch alone." He continues, "There is certainly nothing more attractive in modern civilization than the independent modern woman of the finest type - She is so unconscious of her own attraction, and so suggestive of the escape of her sex from the thrall of fiddle faddle. No one has really written about her adequately, and I doubt I can. But you came to my mind the other day as a sitter for the portrait." He continues for a bit and closes, 'Yours sincerely," with his signature. Octavo, bound by Sickles in olive levant & marbled boards (hardcover, leather), with the gilt-stamped monogram of Charles Edward Ballard, hotelier and circus owner, gilt-decorated spine, marbled endpapers, top edge gilt, uncut, ix, 309 pp. Plates.
