Beecher, Henry Ward Star Papers; Or, Experiences of Art and Nature
NY J. C. Derby 1855 First Edition Hardcover Good with no dust jacket
Handsome red embossed cloth binding with gilt lettering stamped on spine. Boards rubbed and soiled, corners rounded, top 1/2 inch of spine split and worn, else a clean, tight copy. A collection of the author's articles about his travels, nature, reading, trout fishing, the seasons and other subjects, first published in the pages of the New York Independent. Beecher was the brother of the more renowned Harriet Beecher Stowe, and was a Congregationalist minister and prominent abolitionist. The chapter on the pleasures of bibliophilia is particularly delightful. Here's a taste: "Alas! Where is human nature so weak as in a book-store! Speak of the appetite for drink; or of a bon-vivant's relish for a dinner! What are these mere animal throes and ragings compared with those fantasies of taste, of those yearnings of the imagination, of those insatiable appetites of intellect, which bewilder a student in a great bookseller's temptation-hall?" (p. 250). ; 8vo 8" - 9" tall; 359 pages
