Item description from seller

First edition, second corrected state of the title-leaf, in one of the publisher's deluxe bindings available to subscribers. This copy bears a pencil presentation inscription on the front endsheet which may be in the hand of a publisher's clerk: "Mr. James Parton From The Author." Such a presentation from Stowe makes absolute sense, Parton being among the most popular political biographers of the times, and they did correspond on occasion. And although the hand bears similarities to Stowe's, they are not sufficient to be definitive. Among those profiled are Abraham Lincoln, Ulysses S. Grant, William Lloyd Garrison, Charles Sumner, Salmon P. Chase, Edwin Stanton, Frederick Douglass, William T. Sherman, Wendell Phillips, and Henry Ward Beecher, featuring portraits of each. BAL 19449. Thick octavo. Publisher's three-quarter brown morocco, raised bands, spine gilt, a.e.g. Extremities quite rubbed, with slight weakness to upper joint. Light soiling and discoloration to titlepage. Some occasional foxing to plates and facing pages. Presentation inscription in pencil to front flyleaf (see below). Else a very good copy.…
