About This Item
New York: Harper & Brothers. Near Fine in Near Fine dust jacket. 1942. Facsimile. Hardcover. Slipcase has some rubbings. Lower spine on Vol. 2 dust jacket has a tiny tear (1/4"). Both volumes have sun fading on the spines of their dust jackets. ; Both volumes, dustjackets and slipcase are in excellent condition - exception noted. The author, visiting from England in 1834, wrote "what was to become one of the most famous of all travel diaries - a shrewd, lifely and amusing account. Men of all degrees and all beliefs were delighted to call this wise, witty, dauntless woman friend." We believe the publication of this facsimile edition is 1942 given that it was done so by Harper & Brothers "as part of its 125th Anniversary celebration." ; 8vo 8" - 9" tall .
