An Autobiography By Anthony Trollope First American Hardcover Edition 1883

HISTORY: From the beloved collection of the Atkinson family, whose stories are weaved together in George Howe Colt's New York Times notable book of the year, "The Big House: A Century in the Life of an American Summer Home." Many of these books are inscribed by Atkinson family members. I highly recommend Colt's memoir, if only to discover the history behind these eclectic family treasures. The First American Edition was published in by Harpers in their Franklin Square Library series in a newspaper format edition, without Henry Trollope's Preface. Thus, this is the Second American Edition, and the First Hardcover Edition and the first edition with the Preface.
