Bracebridge Hall, uncut in original boards

Washington Irving, 1822

IRVING, Washington (1783-1859). Bracebridge Hall; or, The Humorists. By Geoffrey Crayon, Gent. London: John Murray, 1822.



A beautiful copy of the first edition, first state, uncut in original boards. Published in 1822 under the pseudonym Geoffrey Crayon, Bracebridge Hall includes stories set in England, France, and Spain, but is perhaps best-remembered for "Dolph Heyliger" and its sequel, "The Storm-Ship." These feature a young man from New York who attempts to discredit the legend of a haunted house but ends up instead meeting its ghost, finding buried treasure, and marrying an heiress. BAL 10110 (Binding A, no priority); Langfeld, Blackburn, & Kleinfield, pp. 23-24 (first state, with text of vol. 2 ending on p. 403, imprint middle of p.404, and Davison misspelled on copyright page).



Two volumes, small quarto (230 x 140mm). (Tear to lower corner of endpaper in vol. 2.) Original slate-blue paper-covered boards, tan spines, printed paper labels (a couple minor scuffs, light wear at tips); modern clamshell box. Provenance: John Byram (bookplates).
