Still a solid hardcover.; Volume one ONLY, of Ticknor's first US edition of two volumes, from Scottish sheets.

Despite the 1875 date often mis-attributed to the undated Ticknor edition, Ticknor and Company was only founded in 1885 upon the demise of Osgood & Co. Osgood had published in 1875 a translation by Henry Van Brunt. This US edition was apparently published in 1889. ; Ex-Library; 487 pages.
