James Fenimore Cooper, 1825
COOPER, James Fenimore (1789-1851). Lionel Lincoln; or, The Leaguer of Boston. New York: Charles Wiley, 1825.
First American edition, fine and untrimmed in original boards, of Cooper's historical novel of the American Revolution. Following on the runaway success of The Spy, Cooper conceived of the present work as the first in a series of thirteen historical novels. Its negative critical reception, however, convinced him that America was not fully ready for his brand of historical fiction. BAL 3832.
Two volumes, 12mo (201 x 120mm). Fly titles ("Legends of the Thirteen Republics") occasional spots and toning). Original drab boards, printed paper labels, untrimmed (hinges repaired, losses to paper labels); modern slipcase and chemises.
