Soft cover. Condition: Very Good. "Harper's New Monthly Magazine" was one of the pre-eminent American magazines in the nineteenth century.

Minor shelf wear, leather is in excellent condition, virtually no foxing of pages. This is the publisher's edition, printed from the original plates and includes all of the editorial material (articles, stories, poetry, etc.) of the separate issues but lacks the advertisements and individual covers.
