Item description from seller

Octavo. 3 preliminary leaves, 21-524 (4)pp. Original aqua blue pebbled cloth with blind-stamped ruling on covers, gilt lettering on cover and spine, here with gilt ruling, blind-stamped lettering on back cover. Brown endpapers. Frontispiece, engraved portrait and autograph. "Shortly after the death of Mr. Edwin Forrest, on account of the intimacy and personal friendship that had existed between us for a period of nearly fifty years, I commenced the publication of a series of articles in the "Sunday Mercury," of Philadelphia, under the head of "Reminiscences" of that distinguished gentleman. The great interest excited by the early numbers, induced me to make some change in my original plan. Since the completion of the series in the "Mercury," I have written several additional chapters, which contain a full history of Mr. Forrest's life, from the time of his birth until his death. I have also made large additions to the articles as originally published in the "Mercury," and they are now submitted to the public, in book form, by one who has endeared to the distinguished actor by the most tender ties of friendship." (Rees). Light wear along edges of binding, small chip at foredge, light scuffing and rubbing. Binding in overall good, interior in very good condition.…
