About this Item

First edition, only printing with uncorrected errors: "reduplicate," "characterss" and "known of it." Contrary to popular belief, there are no points of issue for this title, but simple variations including two settings of gathering 21 which resulted in minute variations of no relevance in terms of "issue" in a proper sense. Bound in publisher's original brown ribbed cloth decorated in blind with spine lettered in gilt; publisher's ads at front dated March 1, 1850. Near Fine with sharp gilt lettering, lean to binding, light rubbing to cloth, wear to corners and spine ends, pages toned, bookplate of noted writer Eugene Field to front pastedown. A bright and unrestored copy. One of the most widely printed and acclaimed American novels of all time, a historical revisitation of Puritan Massachusetts.
