Friendship's Garland
Matthew Arnold
Smith, Elder, London · 1871
First Edition. Very scarce true first edition of this satirical work by Arnold. In publisher's cream cloth ruled in black and with gilt vignette and lettering. 172pp text + 2pp ads for other works by the same author.
Sensitive cloth rather grubby to covers and sunned on spine; rear inner hinge cracked. However,a sound copy and quite clean internally.
Written by Dr Jeremy Parrott, who has the book in his hands. Nothing here is generated from a catalogue record.
