1865. Stone, Marcus. Philadelphia: T.B. Peterson & Brothers, n.d.[1865]. 6 pp undated ads. Original blind-stamped purple cloth. First American Edition, "Peterson sub-edition" [all quotes from Smith]. Having paid 1,000 for advance rights, Harper serialized this novel in Harper's New Monthly Magazine and, to protect their investment, published the first American edition, both in two parts in wrappers (2 February 1865 and 11 November 1865) and then complete in wrappers or in cloth on the latter date.

Harper paid for advance rights to serialize this novel and to publish it as an octavo book on 11 November 1865; they also sold their plates to Peterson, in such a way that Peterson was able to publish their sub-edition on the very same day, "probably a few hours after Harper's edition." (Peterson would use these same octavo plates for several years, such as for their 1867 Green Cloth Edition.") But Peterson also created its own duodecimo plates, for publication that very same day of this two-volume, single-column edition, with the plates separately printed -- which was priced at $4.00 compared to $2.50. Condition appears to be just about fine, but the volumes were professionally recased -- very early… Read More
