1895rif. 14412New York: The Century Co 1895. Second Edition. Hardcover. Very good. Octavo 2 volumes illustrated. A very good set bound in publisher's contemporary 3/4 brown morocco and marbled boards. Mild general wear to the board extremities spine gilt dulled the inner hinges tender but holding and the contens fresh and clean. Civil War-themed bookplate to the verso of the front flyleaf in each volume. The second edition of Grant's memoirs published a decade after the first with marginal citations referencing either official US Government records or other books or publications which shed more light on the various statements made by Grant in his narrative. Also expanded with more illustrations. This second edition of the most popular presidential memoir was edited and overseen by Grant's son Frederick. Though the first edition so storied for its dramatic publication history is naturally more sought after this edition--less common in the trade--is probably superior for its enhanced scholarship. The binding is definitiely contemporary and is not signed and looks similar to other examples of this set which we have seen. As such we presume it to be the publisher's deluxe binding.
