A Week on the Concord and Merrimac Rivers
By THOREAU, H.D.
8vo, handsomely rebound in full brown calf, subtle blind stamped design on covers and spine, green spine labels, marbled endpapers. Boston & Cambridge, 1849. First Edition. Fine. The author's first book, published at his own expense in an edition of 1000 copies. Four years after publication, Thoreau wrote in his journal, "For a year or two past my publisher.has been writing.to ask what disposition should be made of the copies a "A Week" still on hand.so I had them all sent to me here.They are something more substantial than fame, as my back knows, which has borne them up two flights of stairs. I now have a library of nearly 900 volumes, over 700 of which I wrote myself." The one page ad announcing the forthcoming publication of "Walden" is present.
