About This Item
New York: E.P. Dutton, 1919. Edited by Howe's daughter, in the editors notes she remarks 'My mother left her journals to me, with no suggestion of their being published. Since however the following passages may conceivably help and comfort other seekers of the Way, it seems in accordance with her spirit of love and service to give them to the public..." In additional to the journals, the book also contains extracts previously published under the title "Life and Letters of Julia War Howe", and contains the Essay on Immortality, previously published by Harper. The frontispiece has a wonderful photograph of the author with her signature beneath it. The signature is very well centered and may be an auto-signature, however there is a rough feel to it, denoting possibly an authentic signature. Gift inscription on FFEP. Green cloth boards with gilt lettering on front and spine. Light edge and shelfwear, slight bumping of corners, a touch of sunning on the spine. Very minor rubbing, 4 exceedingly tiny inkspots on front cover, a few more on bottom page edges. Interior very clean and tight. First Edition. Hard Cover. Very Good. Illus. by Illustrated (frontispiece).
