Herman Melville, 1851
MELVILLE, Herman (1819-1891). Moby-Dick; or, The Whale. New York: Harper & Brothers, Publishers, 1851.
An unsophisticated copy of the first American edition, first binding, of Melville's masterpiece. The American edition contained some thirty-five passages not present in the English edition, which had preceded it by a month. The printed dedication to the 1851 whaling novel memorably reads: "In token of my admiration for his genius, this book is inscribed to Nathaniel Hawthorne." This copy is in the first binding with publisher's circular device and a heavy rule frame on both covers. BAL 13664 (binding A); Grolier American 60.
Octavo (186 x 119mm). 6 pp. of adverts at rear (some spotting as usual, particularly to preliminary leaves; small loss at margin to page xi "Extracts"). Original black cloth, publisher's circular device at center, dark orange coated endpapers (spine ends chipped, corners showing, some scuffs and wear to covers); modern chemise and quarter morocco slipcase. Provenance: "C.H. Holt, Stockport" (ownership inscription to front endpaper).
