The Sketch Book of Geoffrey Crayon, Gent. No. V

Irving, Washington (Geoffrey Crayon, Gent.)

Published by Printed by C. S. Van Winkle. 101 Greenwich Street, New York, 1820

SECOND EDITION. Untrimmed, in the original wrappers. White endpapers. [1]-108 pages. With an advertisement for the Knickerbocker Magazine on the outer rear wrapper (as called for by Langfeld). Spine mostly chipped away with the binding held by a thread or two, and with the wrappers likely reattached. Foxing to the front wrapper. Upper, outer corner of the free endpaper torn away. 1 x 4" rectangular excision to the blank margin at the head of the first text leaf, presumably to remove a signature. The culprit accidentally made the vertical cut to the following page as well. A Good copy, containing Irving's influential Christmas essays. Rare in the original wrappers. BAL10106.
