Longfellow's Copy, 1875
[LONGFELLOW, Henry Wadsworth (1807-1882)] – HUMPHREY, E.J. Gems of India; or, Sketches of Distinguished Hindoo and Mahomedan Women. New York: Nelson & Phillips, 1875.
Longfellow's signed copy of an 1875 book on notable women of India, authored by a female missionary from America who dedicated this work to "American women, of whatever denomination or creed." The front free endpaper is signed and dated: "Henry W. Longfellow / 1878." Longfellow began publishing his compilation series, Poems of Places, in 1877. He began with poems of Europe, then Asia, and then America. The Asia volume which included poems from India was first issued in 1878, the same year he inscribed this volume. Most of Longfellow's library is held at the Craigie-Longfellow House or at the Houghton Library, Harvard. This is a rare exception.
Ocatvo (185 x 122mm). Illustrated. Original brown cloth stamped in black and gilt, all edges gilt (spine ends a little chipped, front hinge cracked); modern slipcase.
