OMOO: A NARRATIVE OF ADVENTURES IN THE SOUTH SEAS
New York & London: Harper & Brothers / John Murray 1847. Contemporary black calf and marbled boards rebacked sometime in the 20th century in black calf with gilt labels. Boards edgeworn light damp discoloration to textblock with slightly darker tidemark in lower forecorner some rippling toward end inner hinges reinforced in the course of rebacking bound without the 16pp. terminal catalogue; a dull but sound copy. First US edition of the author's second book. A weary copy but just possibly though not probably an association copy with the faint pencil signature on the front free endsheet of one "Lemuel Shaw." Melville dedicated TYPEE to Lemuel Shaw in 1846 and married Shaw's daughter Elizabeth in August of 1847. Shaw served as Chief Justice of Massachusetts presiding over such significant cases as that of Washington Goode and the Parkman-Webster case. We would note however that the 'L' is at variance from THE Lemuel Shaw's usual formation of that letter and other variations leave us largely unconvinced. WRIGHT I:1861. BAL 13646.
