Item description from seller

Hard cover, 8 vo., binding stamp-signed by Roger De Coverly in full gray crushed morocco with small gilt corner fleurons, gilt banding to board edges, and at head and tail of spine, 858pp. Spine has five raised bands featuring the same filigree, joined by thin banding. Marbled endpapers are decorated with corner swags of floral gilding on the turn-ins. Bookbinder's stamp to verso of front pastedown. Inscription in old ink to ffep. dated 1895. All edges gilt. On India paper. Features two-column text with "Gothic" style headlines. The American, Henry Wadsworth Longfellow (1807-1902) was one of the most honored poets of his time, and this volume includes his most famous works, such as "Evangeline, " "Hiawatha" and the "Ride of Paul Revere." Henry Froude (1841-1927) was the Publisher to the University during this period, and oversaw its expansion into new markets abroad and more commercial lines of literature. Condition: Very Good. The spine and outer reaches of the boards are oxidized to a tan color. There are some repaired scrapes to the rear board, and an area of uneven color near the foot of the spine. Front hinge starting. Small area of concern to top of front hinge, not yet split. Moderate foxing affects endpapers mostly (wee bit on title page.) The rest of the text within is clean and bright. A nice, example from de Coverly, who was famously once the teacher of the fabled English bookbinder , T.J. Cobden-Sanderson. BAL No. 12727.…
