Hardcover. Zustand: Good. In Two Parts, Part One 153 pages, Part Two 189 pages. This book was purchased from a great grandchild of Nathaniel Hawthorne's in Redding, Connecticut. It bears the signature of Hawthorne's son, Julian Hawthorne, though it may have (or may not have) been earlier owned by Nathaniel Hawthorne, as it was published in 1846 and he passed away in 1864. 1846 is also the year of Julian Hawthorne's birth. He signed this book in 1873 when he was in Dresden, Germany, the same year he wrote a book titled Bressant. He met his future wife, Minne Amelung, while living in Europe. She was living in Redding, Connecticut at the time of her death in 1925. Julian Hawthorne's mother was Sophia Peabody, a painter and illustrator. Julian was a writer and journalist. He wrote in many genres: poems, novels, short stories, mysteries and detective fiction, essays, travel books, biographies, and histories. He also helped to found Cosmopolitan and Collier's Weekly. Late in his life he got into trouble with the law and spent a year in prison. You can see the marbled covers of the book in the photos. They have held up quite well, a small bit of scuffing at the tiny leather corners, also some scuffing on the rear side of the leather spine, reaching over just a little onto the marbled part of the rear cover. The leather spine looks pretty good. It has some darkening and soiling, particularly right off its top edge. The small gilt lettering is pretty bright but there is a small indent over the word 'Life'. The edges are in very nice shape with just some light rubbing on the two bottom ones. Each of the four corners have spots of rub-through. The page edges are also marbled. The spine has a forward lean, but the binding of the pages is quite solid all the way through. There is a thin space off the top edge of the juncture between the front inside cover and the signed front end paper. It only goes down 1 1/2 inches, and the front covers are nicely, tightly bound. There is also a space at the juncture between the rear inside cover and rear end paper. That space goes down a longer ways, leaving only the bottom 1 3/4 inches of the juncture free of a space. Nevertheless, the rear cover is also nicely, tightly bound. The pages are in good condition. There are no placeholder creases. I saw only eight consecutive pages with a small bottom corner crease, far from the print, and two consecutive pages with a very small top corner crease, also far from the print. However, the pages are foxed, all of them have foxing at their margins, and in not a few it makes its way beyond the margins. I have provided a photograph of a typical pair of pages. There are no markings in the book. No attachments of any kind. And Mr. Hawthorne's dated signature (see photo) is the only writing to be found anywhere.
