TITLE For sale here is a book that contains a variety of poems by Henry Longfellow:

"Voices Of The Night"- stated Sixth Edition, dated 1842.

"Earlier Poems" No edition stated.

"Translations" No edition stated.

"Poems On Slavery" No edition stated, but date at base of title page is 1842, and the same date is on the copyright. page- again 1842, with no other printings indicated. I don't know the identifier for this publisher, but I know from Wikipedia that "Poems On Slavery" was first published in 1842 as a pamphlet, so I assume this would be a very early printing. It is also the oldest printing that I can find for sale on the net.

"The Spanish Student" stated Fourth Edition, dated 1843.

"The Belfry Of Bruges And Other Poems" No edition stated, published 1846.

Each title page indicates the same publisher- "Published By John Owen" of Cambridge.

1846 is the latest publication date indicated in the book.

DESCRIPTION Three quarter leather hardcover with marbled boards, matching marbled endpages, and all page edges marbled.

7 inches tall, 4.5 wide, with pages numbered by section, but over 400 pages.

No illustrations.

CONDITION

Condition of the Book is Fair-

the main flaw is that the cover boards are present but both are detached, and the cover of the spine is gone

spine is tight and no loose pages

former owner's bookplate on first blank endpage, and former owner's name writ atop "Poems On Slavery" title page, but no other writing inside

almost no foxing at all,

no dogeared pages,

no handling marks,

and excellent candidate for a rebinding

I think I've covered it all, but all questions are welcome.

OFFERS Please feel free to make any offer you feel appropriate. I will carefully consider it, even if it is far below the asking price. Thanks for looking.

GUARANTEE All my books come with a no questions asked, money back guarantee: Buyer has 30 days from receipt to return item for a full refund of final bid price (sorry, but shipping costs are not refundable).
