Hawthorne's copy of Conversations on some of the Old Poets
J.R. Lowell, 1845
[HAWTHORNE, Nathaniel, LOWELL, James Russell (1819-1891). Conversations on some of the Old Poets. Cambridge: published by John Owen, 1845.
Presentation copy for Nathaniel Hawthorne, inscribed for him "with the author's love" in the month of publication. The front free endpaper bears Lowell's autograph inscription: "Nathaniel Hawthorne with the author's love / January 1, 184[5]." Another copy at Harvard University bears the same New Year's date inscription as this one. When rebound, the last date of the year and most of the last letter of Hawthorne's name were trimmed. The Library of Congress did not record their copy until 7 January, 1845 (BAL). BAL 13049.
Octavo (165 x 108mm). (Light foxing at ends.) Later 19th century red morocco-grained sheep over marbled boards, edges marbled (light wear to edges).
