About This Item
Boston: Brown And Company, 1899. New edition. Hardcover. Very Good. 16mo, 137 pages, blue cloth with art nouveau cover, bright, unread; x-library with book pocket. Scarce.
This edition has a new Introduction by the unknown "G.P.T.". These collected essays are from Kipling's first visit to America, in 1891. This allegedly unauthorized edition retains many passages and a letter which were suppressed in the versions that appeared in FROM SEA TO SEA, 1899. "These 'Notes' aroused much protest and severe criticism when they appeared in 1891 ... they have been nearly suppressed and are rarely found in a list of his writings. Their very caustic style is of interest to a student and lover of Kipling, and for this reason the publishers believe them worthy of a good binding - Introduction." Illustrated by William Nicholson with a frontispiece portrait of young Kipling. [ Livingston77, note].

About Thomas J. Joyce And Company
Joyce And Company has been in business as a professional rare bookseller and appraiser since 1975. Owner Thomas Joyce was the regular book appraiser on Home & Garden TV\'s \"The Appraisal Fair\\\" program, on international broadcasts. Thomas Joyce was the co-discoverer of George Washington's personal copy of William Leybourn's 1679 edition of THE COMPLEAT SURVEYOR, from which young Washington learned some of his surveying skills at age 16. The book had vanished for nearly a century until its re-discovery in 2017. It is now back at Mt. Vernon.
