GEORGE'S JOURNEY TO THE LAND OF HAPPINESS. BY A LADY. ILLUSTRATED WITH SIXTEEN COLOURED ENGRAVINGS.
Editore: Philadelphia: Appleton, 1848
Libro Prima edizione
Hardcover. Condizione: Fair. First edition. First edition, dated 1847 on title page. Fair copy. A light dampstain affects all pages, but least the illustrations. Original green, gilt decorated and tooled boards and spine. Overall wear, with chipping at head, heel and corners. Copy contains 14 of 16 hand-colored plates, of a curious character. The text is almost modern, so essential is the characterization of a 16 year old boys first journey abroad. A curious quip at page 100 "such nice books as you can buy at Mr. Appleton's". Ten pages of ads for George S. Appleton's juvenile series at rear. (He was then on Chestnut street, Philadelphia, Pa). This copy "Presented to Martha E. May from her Grandfather Samuel Shafer". Interestingly, the Pennsylvania State Reports Containing Cases decided by the Courts, 1862 p. 513-524, details the complexity of Martha E. May's appeal for a distribution from the estate of her deceased grandfather, (Judge) Samuel Shaffer (sic). She was the only child of his daughter Elizabeth May, sister of Addison May, one of the 3 executors of the estate.
