Excursions

Boston: Ticknor and Fields, 1863. Cloth. Very Good +. A solid, very presentable copy of the 1863 1st edition. Tight and VG to VG+ in its dark-green, bevelled cloth, with still-bright gilt-titling along the spine and blindstamped bordering and devices at the panels. Just a bit of light wear along the spine crown, else very sharp. Small, neat 1889 inscription at the top of the front free endpaper, (same) former owner name to the top of the title page. A one-line comment in fountain pen at the foot of pg. 48, referring to the use of a specific word in the top paragraph (possibly in Thoreau's hand?). Otherwise quite clean internally. 12mo, Thoreau's 3rd published work, following "Walden" and "A Week on the Concord and Merrimack Rivers
