Item description from seller

Two Sam Slick / T. C. Haliburton title and one by (Harriet Ann) Lady Scott, bound as one. Combined are Slick/Haliburton's The Clockmaker, Third Series (Paris: Baudry's European Library, 1841; [i]-vi, 199pp.), The Old Judge (NY: Stringer & Townsend, 1849; [1]-114pp., [6 publisher's ads]), and Lady Scott's Hylton House (NY: H. Long & Brother, 1850; [1]-115pp., [5 publisher's ads]). Likely reprinted from their respective publisher's plates, as paper is uniform throughout, but print style is not. The Clockmaker title page states it includes "The Letter-Bag of the Great Western" however this does not appear to have been included. Navy half-leather and marbled boards binding, gilt titling on spine, red speckling to page block edges; moderate amount of wear, rubbing to edges and corners, rubbing to marbled paper as well; binding remains firm and fully intact; previous owner names inscribed in pencil on title pages (apparently different owners for each book), else text is free of markings. A nice little group for the collector of 19th century humor. Photos, further explanation available upon request. Ships same or next business day from Dinkytown in Minneapolis, Minnesota.…
