[HALE, Edward Everett (1822-1909)]. The Man Without a Country. Boston: Ticknor and Fields, 1865.

A superb copy in original wrappers of Hale's famous work written to inspire patriotism during the Civil War. First edition in book form with two autograph notes. Hale was a Unitarian minister, author, and ardent abolitionist who later became the chaplain of the US Senate. This is his most famous work, a political fable about a man who renounces his American citizenship and comes to dearly regret it. It was first printed in the Atlantic Monthly. Peter Parley to Penrod, p. 24; Sabin 39627.

12mo (168 x 105mm). Without tipped-in publisher's slip. Original salmon printed wrappers (a little separation at foot of spine); modern blue quarter morocco box. Provenance: John Stuart Groves, 1881-1958 (morocco book label).
