Domestic Manners of the Americans
Frances Trollope, 1732
TROLLOPE, Frances (1779-1863). Domestic Manners of the Americans. London: Whittaker, Treacher, 1832.
Frances Trollope's firsthand account of American society in the age of Jackson, with hand-colored plates. Third edition. Trollope traveled to the Midwest with her family in 1827 unsuccesfully looking for economic opportunity before she returned to England in 1831. This book, however, was wildly popular, going into four editions in the first year of publication. The illustrations are delightful and did not appear in the first edition, including such sights as a Congressman blowing his nose. Apparently there was a ready audience in England for tales of American vulgarity, then as now. Howes T-357.
Two volumes, octavo (194 x 120mm). Half-titles. Illustrated with 24 hand-colored lithographed plates. Modern calf, spines gilt with morroco lettering pieces (ight rubbing at joints). Provenance: Etta Mary Arnold Clark (bookplates).
