Brown (Alice) Tiverton Tales.
Boston & NY: Houghton, Mifflin, 1899. First edition.
Green decorative cloth lettered in gilt, designed in purple, grey and gilt on front cover. Modest shelf wear, a bit of soiling to cloth, but a bright very good copy in general. Wright III: 701. This copy has a full-page inscription on the front fly leaf: Wishing You, dear Bolton many happy "returns of the day." with love of sister ALB. March 23, 1911. We have been unable to determine with certainty that it is in the hand of the author, but I believe it to be so. The register of Alice Brown's papers at the University of New Hampshire Library contains a number of references to letters written by Alice Brown to a Mr. Bolton in the 1920s and 1930s. It certainly has the look of an authorial inscription, but without further evidence we cannot guarantee it to be such.

Buchanan (Robert William). Saint Abe And His Seven Wives. A Tale of Salt Lake City. (Published anonymously).
NY: Routledge, 1872.
Original brown cloth ruled in black, designed and lettered in gilt. Considerable shelf wear, tear along front hinge, front end paper torn out. An old ink stamp on the front fly leaf is from a circulating library in Eureka, Nevada. Internally quite t ight & fairly fresh. A tale, entirely in verse, of the Mormons. This is an early edition, apparently the first US edition, but we have seen a citation of an American Routledge edition dated 1871. The LC copies are dated 1872, so this 1871 date may b e spurious. The British edition was published by Strahan in 1872. Buchanan was a well-known Scottish author.

Jacksonville, Fla.: Dacosta Printing and Publishing House, 1898. First edition.
Original decorative printed boards, plain cloth spine. Some wear to the title page, which is nearly detached.

Some minor wear to the front board, shelf wear to corners, basically a very good copy. A supernatural science-fiction novel set in Atlantis, an empire which includes MU and Greece. One of the scarcest Amer ican books in the field. Bleiler, SF: The Early Years: 294.
