About this Item
Maroon cloth elaborately decorated in blind, color faded, 6 3/4 x 4 1/2 inches, extra engraved title page, several additional plates. 220 pp., plus adverts. One of the Rollo's Tour in Europe series. Something of a curiosity, for the copyright is on the verso of the engraved title page. This does not have the regular printed title page nor the page with Order of the Volumes. It is the first book in the series, with the correct publisher and copyright. Preface is dated September, 1853.Jacob Abbott (1803-1879), b. Hallowell, ME; d. Farmington, ME. He was graduated at Bowdoin College, and studied divinity at Andover. Ordained as a Congregational minister, he was professor of mathematics and natureal philosophy in Amherst College (1825-1829), founder of the Mount Vernon School for Girls (Boston), and organizer of the Eliot Church in Roxbury. In 1839 he moved to Farmington, Maine, where he devoted the rest of his life to literary labor. "A complete catalogue of his works (which are chiefly for the young) would considerably exceed 200 titles.He also edited, with additions, several historical textbooks, and compiled a series of school readers." - Appletons Encyclopedia.
