The Violet Leaf, and Other Tales
New York: Taylor & Dodd, late John S. Taylor, Juvenile and Sunday School Booksellers, Corner of Park Row and Spruce Street, 1839. Hardcover. 93p., stipple-engraved frontispiece (girl in arbor greeting distant boy), later edition hardbound in 6x4 inch grey cloth boards with pressed blind panelling and cover-titled gilt. Edgeworn and shabby with small bits of fray and turned corners (gilt lettering remains legible), front free endpaper out, rear endsheets sound but a blank has been removed, expect irregular blotchy foxing throughout. Sound enough to handle easily, but a fair to good-only copy only.
