Book First Edition
Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Illustrated (frontispiece) (illustrator). First Edition. Edited by Howe's daughter, in the editors notes she remarks 'My mother left her journals to me, with no suggestion of their being published. Since however the following passages may conceivably help and comfort other seekers of the Way, it seems in accordance with her spirit of love and service to give them to the public." In additional to the journals, the book also contains extracts previously published under the title "Life and Letters of Julia War Howe", and contains the Essay on Immortality, previously published by Harper. The frontispiece has a wonderful photograph of the author with her signature beneath it. The signature is very well centered and may be an auto-signature, however there is a rough feel to it, denoting possibly an authentic signature. Gift inscription on FFEP. Green cloth boards with gilt lettering on front and spine. Light edge and shelfwear, slight bumping of corners, a touch of sunning on the spine. Very minor rubbing, 4 exceedingly tiny inkspots on front cover, a few more on bottom page edges. Interior very clean and tight.

First Edition Signed
Hardcover. First Edition. Two volumes in original cloth-backed boards with gilt-lettered leather spine labels. Copy #236 of 450 copies of the Large-Paper Edition with a leaf of Howe's unsigned AUTOGRAPH MANUSCRIPT tipped in by the publisher, this example with 22 lines of over 100 words, apparently the first page of a speech she was giving to women on the subject of women's suffrage. In part: "But, when I am here to ask for justice to all the women of our community. They are not afraid of us, but of their sex in general." Illustrated with plates and portraits, including a facsimile manuscript of "The Battle Hymn of the Republic." Owner's inscriptions on both front endpapers: "Elizabeth Walker Pontefract/from/Jean Charters Pontefract/June 1916." The Pontefracts were related to the Childs and Howe families by marriage; Thomas Marshall Howe, one of Pittsburgh's leading citizens of the late 19th century, was a distant cousin of Julia Ward Howe. Winner of the 1917 Pulitzer Prize for Biography. Manuscript pages by Howe concerning women's rights are quite desirable. Spine labels a bit dried and with some cracking; light wear and darkening to the covers. About Very Good, lacking the dustwrappers and slipcase.
