This is the second printing of the First edition, marked "Tenth Thousand" on title page. First volume 312 pages, second volume 322 pages. Each measure 5" x 8." Uncle Tom's Cabin was the second best-selling book of the 19th century, only bested by the Bible. These volumes are in green cloth boards with gilt stamping and gilted edges. Gilt still bright and much better than usual for this title. Top and bottom of spine panel professionally repaired. New endpapers. Gift inscription, dated 1852.
