Artikelbeschreibung vom Verkäufer

Hardcover, 4.25” x 6.75. Bound in full leather – presumably the original binding. A simple American 18th century binding, with spine label on black leather, quaintly mis-cut to off-square. Gold lettering. Spine cracked and dry, however. Covers bumped, scuffed and worn. Front cover attached by 2 cords only. First blank page loose. 19 page preface and life of the author by Samuel Johnson. 194 pages + 4 pages of ads. Pages toned from age, with spotty foxing. Binding tight, text block secure. An early US edition of Thomson’s popular sentimental poem, notable chiefly for the Johnson essay. Boswell’s Life of Johnson had been published only 4 years earlier, and the Johnson essay is akin to the Emerson blurb on Whitman’s book – Johnson lived in the first half of the 18th century. Seasons was first published in 1730 or thereabouts and enjoyed popularity throughout the century. It languishes now, however. A perfectly nice 18th century American imprint in original unrestored binding. No illustrations or engravings – which were added in later editions.

If the book does not fit into a flat rate envelope, we will likely need to request extra shipping costs from you, in order to put it in a box. We only charge the actual amount of shipping, so we hope you'll understand that it's just a matter of getting the book to you without taking a loss on it -- shipping is a service we happily offer without a 'handling' charge.... but we can't afford to charge you less than the cost of the stamps!
