Item description from seller

Written in ink on rectos (mostly) of ruled paper, 7 leaves of preliminaries, pp. 1-201 (Part 1); 1-205 (part 2). With numerous corrections and deletions. 1 vols. 4to (7-3/4 x 9-7/8 inches). Hauch's work, ROBERT FULTON: EN FORTÆLLING was first published in Copenhagen in 1853; Sinding's English translation was published in New York, by Macdonald & Palmer, in 1868. In his translator's Preface, Sinding (1812-1887) introduces the author to the American reader: "The name of the Danish poet and novelist Hans Christian Andersen, has long been a household word in England and the United States. The refined affection of his characters, the delicacy of his speech, and the grace of his style, have endeared him to all intelligent and tasteful people both in the old and new world. The author of this present work, J.C. Hauch, is his intimate friend, but none of his numerous works have yet, so far as I know, found their way to this country, while on account of the brilliancy of his talents, the profoundness of his learning, and the descriptive power of his gigantic mind, he has won for himself an illustrious name on the continent as a poet and writer. I, therefore, willingly complied with the request made to me both by the author himself, and by several other literary men from Copenhagen, my native place, to dress in an English garment this American subject.". Bound in three quarter brown calf and marbled boards. Skillfully rebacked, with remainder of original spine laid down, Binder's ticket ?E. Bosqui Book-Binding 517 Clay Street (San Fransisco)? Written in ink on rectos (mostly) of ruled paper, 7 leaves of preliminaries, pp. 1-201 (Part 1); 1-205 (part 2). With numerous corrections and deletions. 1 vols. 4to (7-3/4 x 9-7/8 inches).
