New York: Harper & Brothers, 1924. Hardcover. Introduction by Albert Bigelow Paine. Complete 2-volume set. Small 4to. Blue ribbed cloth with gilt lettering. xvi, 368pp; 365pp, (2pp ads). Top edges gilt. Captioned tissue-guarded frontispieces. Very good. Slightest edgewear only, else internally fine.
A tight and handsome second printing ("L-Y"), with two pages of advertisements at close of the second volume. Tipped to an inner flyleaf is a choice autograph addition: Typed Note Signed by ALBERT BIGELOW PAINE and CLARA CLEMENS GABRILOWITSCH, 1p, 6" X 7½", Waycross, GA, 5 December 1935. Addressed to Arnold F. Gates (1914-93, noted Lincoln/Civil War scholar). Very good. On "Hotel Ware" pictorial letterhead, Paine and Gabrilowitsch write this young admirer that "It pleases me to know that you thought the books I have written are worthy to be added to your collection on our good Saint Mark's 100th birthday. And I am very happy to sign myself...." and Paine signs boldly in full in brown ink, with "Very Sincerely Yours / Clara Clemens / Gabrilowitsch" below his in black ink. Paine (1861-1937) served as Mark Twain's literary executor and authored a massive 3-volume biography of Clemens (1912); he was also a well-known journalist and writer of light fiction. Gabrilowitsch (1874-1962) was Mark Twain's daughter (and protector of his posthumous reputation -- she's listed as copyright holder in this book) as well as a noted singer who performed recitals with her pianist husband, Russian emigrant Ossip Gabrilowitsch (1878-1936). Paine was almost right about the precise centennial of Twain's birth (November 20, not December 5) -- but a fine autograph accompaniment to this controversial memoir and with Twain content to boot.
An outstanding set.

Description:
1886 Mark Twain RARE 4v Lot Huck Finn Tramp Abroad Life on Mississippi PleasureMark Twain and his works were immensely popular with such notable characters as Tom Sawyer and Huckleberry Finn that stood out among other 19th-century literary characters.
This incredible 4-volume set of the works of Twain was published by Chatto & Windus. It includes all of Twain's most famous books – 'Huck Finn', 'Life on the Mississippi', 'A Tramp Abroad', and 'Pleasure Trip on the Continent of Europe'. The last title, curiously, is a reworking of two of Twain's works, fused as one work – 'Innocents Abroad' and 'New Pilgrim's Progress'. This late 19th-century lot is notable for the decorative front covers.
