First edition, second issue (no number on page 52) of one of American Quaker and abolitionist poet John Greenleaf Whittier’s most famous works. 8vo, publisher’s green cloth boards with gilt lettering, 52 pages, portrait frontispiece with tissue guard. With Charles Eliot Norton’s ownership signature (C.E. Norton) on the inside front cover. Norton (1827-1908) was a prominent American art historian, social critic, and Harvard Professor, and namesake of the ongoing lecture series. Also with a bookplate of Charles H. Milburn. And, tipped in at the rear, two documents pertaining to the Whittier Homestead in Haverhill, MA, opened to the public as a museum in 1893. The Homestead was acquired by a group of Haverhill residents after Whittier’s death in 1892 and maintained as described in Snow-Bound. A crisp and lovely copy of the second issue of this work, enhanced by the Norton signature and the Haverhill Club/Whittier Homestead documents. Stored in a vintage linen slipcase with chemise.
