Rare 1840 First American Edition | The Clockmaker; or, the Sayings and Doings of Samuel Slick of Slickville (Third Series) Step back into the sharp-witted world of Samuel Slick, the iconic Yankee clock peddler whose "soft sawder" and "human natur" redefined 19th-century humor. Published by Lea and Blanchard in 1840, this Third Series volume captures Haliburton’s satire at its peak. Listing Highlights: First American Edition: A genuine 1840 printing from the noted Philadelphia publishers Lea and Blanchard. Binding: Original paper-covered boards—a rare survival for a book of this age. Interior Condition: The text block remains remarkably clean and tight. While the title page shows some minor offsetting and a touch of foxing, the integrity of the 215 pages is excellent for a 180-year-old volume. Provenance: Features a classic previous owner's bookplate on the front pastedown, adding a touch of historical character. Condition Note: Rated as Good. The boards are well-worn, reflecting the book's long history, and the front and rear free endpapers are missing. These flaws are typical for the era and do not detract from the tight, readable text block. An essential acquisition for collectors of Americana, Canadian literature, or the history of Western satire. [Store Location: 1.5].…
