12mo, 2 pp.Twenty-six lines. Text clear and complete. Fair, on aged paper, with strip of paper mount still adhering at head of second page (not affecting text).

Hardback. Zustand: Good. NO. First. "ARTHUR CHRISTOPHER BENSON displays both distinction and suavity in "Memories and Friends." Here in eighteen chapters, each one based upon the personality of some man or woman who has played a greater or smaller part in Benson's life, may be discovered almost a crystallization of that gentleness of demeanor, that "muscular Christianity," that innate conservatism that characterizes the later Victorian" NY Times. Extremely rare edition, with interesting newspaper cuts glued to the back of the plates, book related articles, obituaries. Good overall condition with foxing to pages, rubbing to covers, name to first blank page with a christmas card glued. Some writing to back of pages, it doesn't affect text. Very interesting book with prior owner's personal touches added. NO Dust JAcket. U5B36.…
