Cloth. Zustand: Good. Clark, W. Appleton; Armstrong, Margaret (binding) (illustrator). First Edition. New York, NY, 1901, Charles Scribner's Sons. First edition. 8vo. Cobalt blue cloth with gilt lettering and pinecone design on spine and beautiful gilt artwork around the title ("THE RULING PASSION") on the front board, featuring pinecones and interwoven pine branches on a dark green field, beautifully illustrated throughout, rough-cut pages, 296 pp. From author's preface: "To tell about some of these ruling passions, simply, clearly, and concretely, is what I want to do in this book. The characters are chosen, for the most part, among plain people, because their feelings are expressed with fewer words and greater truth, not being costumed for social effect. The scene is laid on Nature's stage because I like to be out-of-doors." Owner name on endpaper and page 101. 1/8" tear at top of spine, pages tanned. An attractive book and a collection of written snapshots of life in another time. Good+.
