Item description from seller

Octavo, 400 pages, embossed green cloth with pebbly texture; Printed by Marder, Luse & Co., Electrotypers, Chicago; later yellow endpapers, covers scuffed, worn near heel of spine Alger-like story of a German immigrant beggar-boy who becomes the founder of the Christian newspaper, The Golden Censer, at Rockford, Illinois. The publication history is unusual. "Put into type and printed from time to time, over a period of more than three years, in the Rockford printing shop of the author. . Though called the "third edition" this is really the first complete narrative. The first edition was simply a sketch published in the initial number of the Censer, and the second was a 64-page pamphlet published in 1870 - Jenkins, A FULL HOWES." [ Howes L251]. Portrait frontispiece.
