Hawthorne, Nathaniel. MOSSES FROM AN OLD MANSE. New York: Wiley and Putnam. 1846. 8vo. Single-volume edition, in brown cloth. Vol I: [half title leaf], [full title leaf], [Contents leaf], [1]-207pp, [blank verso]. Vol II: [half title], [full title], [Contents leaf], [1]-211 pp, [blank verso]. BAL notes that “…when issuing the book in cloth (as a single volume) the publishers used whatever sheets they had in stock, and copies in cloth, therefore, frequently are of intermediate status. It is certain that the earliest printings have both of the following imprints present on the copyright pages: T. B. Smith, Stereotyper; and R. Craigshead’s Power Press… In the earliest printings p (212), Vol 2, is wholly blank…” Here both c-pages have both the credit to “B. Craigshead Power Press…” and the credit to “T. B. Smith, Stereotyper…,” with no credit to Osborne. In Vol 2, Page [212] is blank. BAL 7598. Cloth stained and soiled. Corners thumbed and rubbed, spine ends frayed. Foxed.
