Description:

(8vo) publisher's tan cloth lettered in green. First Edition.

The author's third novel. Jacket flaps pasted to front endpapers. From one said flap: "Through fire and accident, riot, rape, and vaudeville, no matter what happens to him, he clings faithfully to his twin beliefs that by probity and industry a poor boy must succeed...Lemuel Pitkin is assured as firm a place in the hearts of latter-day Americans as that enjoyed by his immortal prototypes, Paul the Peddler, Tom the Bootblack, and Phil the Fiddler."

Condition

Somewhat soiled cloth creased on spine, ends bumped, rubbing at edges; some foxing within; very good.
