1870 · WRCLIT54265 — New York: Happy Hours Company 1870. 795pp. Small octavo. Printed wrappers. Illustrations. Pencil ownership signatures spine a bit chipped with old vestiges of tape mends but a good copy. An unspecified but later printing. OCLC reports this title appeared under the imprints of Dick & Fitzgerald Dick Samuel French and this imprint all of the entries with the copyright date entered as the literal imprint date. Curiously copyright is assigned to O. A. Roorbach the pioneering American bibliographer and publisher though in 1868 i.e. seven years after his death. The author's introduction is dated 1868 and like many theatrical works it was likely reprinted dozens of times under various imprints until the stereos were too worn to reuse.
