Description
London: Edward Moxon, 1842. First Edition. Hardcover. Very Good. Original brown cloth with a leaf of ads at the end followed by an additional collective title page and half-title page, allowing the book to form the seventh and final volume of the 1836-7 edition of Wordsworth's POETICAL WORKS. Wordsworth's last collection of new work, and somewhat scarce. This is a Presentation copy INSCRIBED by the poet on the front pastedown: "Herbert Hill/from/the Author/April 1842." Herbert Hill married Robert Southey's daughter, Bertha, in 1839 and was a neighbor of Wordsworth's living with his wife in John Fleming's cottage in Rydal. Hill served as tutor for Matthew Arnold. Both Hill and Wordsworth attended Southey's funeral in March 1843 after which Wordsworth was selected to replace Southey as England's Poet Laureate. Rebacked some time ago with nearly all of the original spine but for the tips retained. An engraved portrait of the author is laid down on the verso of the front free endpaper.

Description
New York: McClure, Phillips and Co, 1906. First Edition. O. Henry’s second book, first printing (though the prefatory misprint “lony” is often cited as an issue point, it is not, since all first editions have the same misprint). Original red cloth. Fine condition. Reference: B. A. L. 16271. Ex–Mrs. J. Insley Blair (the great Natalie Blair) with her small leather “Blairhame” bookplate on the inside cover of the chemise in an old half morocco slipcase, she had made for the book. According to the author’s prefatory note, the title (The Four Million) is in opposition to the widely believed assertion that there were only 400 New Yorkers who were “worth noticing.” The author feels that all “four million” are worthy of notice, and uses these tales to make his point. The Four Million’s 25 very short stories comprise O. Henry’s most sought–after volume, primarily because it includes his best–known tale, The Gift of the Magi – at the end of which the author reflects, “And here I have lamely related to you the uneventful chronicle of two foolish children in a flat who most unwisely sacrificed for each other the greatest treasures of their house. But in a last word to the wise, let it be said that of all who give gifts, these two were the wisest.”.
