Letters of Henry Adams (1858-1891)
Boston: Houghton Mifflin Company, 1930. Presumed first edition/first printing. Hardcover. vi p., 1 l., 552 p. front. (port. ) 25 cm. Occasional footnotes. Index. The Editor hoped to make Henry Adams better and more humanly known from these letters than he felt could be gained from the detached examination of himself in the Education of Henry Adams. Relatively little letters and related documentation on Henry Adams was available to the editor. About 1885 he destroyed all his diaries, notes, and correspondence and recalled, from time to time, his letters for his correspondents and destroyed them as well. Condition: Good. No dust jacket. Cover has some wear and soiling, corners rubbed, and some "dings". Some endpaper discoloration. Some edge soiling.
