This copy with copyright date of 1877 at front wrapper, date of 1878 at copyright page, no date at title page and 120 titles for this series listed in ads. Twelvemo. (Measures 4 13/16 x 3 1/8 inches). [1], 116; 12 ads, pp. Publisher's original printed wrappers lettered in black and red, rebacked in tan cloth. Previous owner's signature on first page, newspaper clipping mounted to last page. Front cover chipped at corners. Overall, very good copy of this fragile book. "[Daisy Miller] deals with an unsophisticated, 'strikingly, admirably pretty' girl from Schenectady traveling through Europe who runs athwart the conventions of a group of Europeanized Americans who enforce the rules of the older European community with unthinking severity. The book aroused controversy when it first appeared, some reviewers taking it as a libel on American manners, but it later became one of the most popular of James's writings." (Benét's 247) BAL 10538. Benet's 247. HBS 67239. $500.…
