Might be a really scarce one. I was looking at chronology of books by Longfellow on Wikipedia and this one is not t at least with a printing date of 1854. Book is in good condition considering age. Red leather bound, embossed. Measures 5 1/4 inches by about 3 5/8 inches wide. It has 424 pages all of which are t T are water stains on the bottom of the pages and has turned corners throughout. The picture of Henry is torn about 1 1/2 inches into it but it is all t It is signed below his picture but I am not sure if it was actually his or litho signed. It has a multitude of his poetry in it including some of his most famous works, The Skeleton in Armour, Poems on Slavery, Evangeline and many many others. It was published in 1854 by T. Nelson and Sons England. Also has a strange seal in the corner of one of the pages for a bookseller t I believe. Just a very cool antique poetry book if you are into Longfellow's works. Wear consitent with age. Thanks for looking and good luck. Bid to win and I guarantee that you will be absolutely thrilled that you won this one. Please wait for invoice before sending payment.
