First Edition (McDermott 1920-1).Edited, with a Biographical Introduction and Notes, by his son, Henry James, and illustrated with photographs and reproductions of drawings and manuscripts."In the case of a man like James the biographical question to be answered is not, as with a man of affaires: How can his actions be explained? but rather: What manner of being was he? What were his background and education? And, above all, what were his temperament and the bias of his mind? What native instincts, preferences, and limitations of view did he bring with him to his business of reading the riddle of the Universe? His own informal utterances [found in these letters] throw the strongest light on such questions" (from the Introduction). Original dark blue boards with well-preserved paper labels on spine. Clean, tight and bright - a very pretty set. ADDITIONAL PHOTOS AVAILABLE UPON REQUEST. Seller Inventory # 1458
