North America

Philadelphia: J.B. Lippincott & Co., 1862. First Authorized American edition. Hardcover. 8vo. [2], iii-iv, 5-335, [1]; [2], iii-iv, 5-334, [4] pp. Brown textured publisher's cloth. Off-white endpapers and pastedowns. Sadleir 14. Two volumes bound in one, a common practice with this edition. The authorized American edition of Trollope's travel narrative of the states and Canada. Trollope's trip begins in New England and stretches up to Canada (in the Niagara Falls area), Trollope then concludes his journey in Washington D.C. His wife accompanied him on his trip. Harper and Brothers sold a cheaper edition shortly before Lippincott could get theirs to market, a fascinating example of American literary piracy in the nineteenth century. Very Good. Item #000012195

Rebacked with the original spine laid down, a small bookplate on the front pastedown and two ink inscriptions on the free front endpaper.

Price: $375.00
