About This Item

Boston and New York: E. P. Peabody Wiley & Putnam, 1841. First edition. 1st Printing. Hardcover. Good/No Jacket. All three of Hawthorne's Grandfather's Chair books for children, all first editions. The first volume very good, with 1841 gift inscription on blank page "Henry L. Abbot, from his Father, August 13, 1841." General Henry Larcom Abbot up to be a distinguished Civil War Brevet Major General. Below the 1841 inscription is a 1913 inscription by the general's daughter, Eleanor Abbot. Famous Old People with chipped label and wrinkle and water mark to cover, but internally quite nice. Liberty Tree - the scarcest of the three - with expert repair to cloth at front joint, and penciled 1841 inscription to front endpaper. A rare set, seldom found together.
