Octavo original three-quarter brown crushed morocco raised bands gilt-decorated spines top edges gilt uncut. $37500.Manuscript Edition beautifully bound and illustrated limited to 600 copies with manuscript leaf from Walden two sides entirely in Thoreaus hand.Each set in this important limited edition includes a Thoreau manuscript leaf mounted and bound into the first volume. The leaf in this set is from the chapter entitled ""Baker Farm"" from Walden Thoreau's masterwork. The leaf reads in large part: ""If it had lasted longer it might have tinged my employments and life. As I walked on the railroad causeway I used to wonder at the halo of light around my shadow and would fain fancy myself one of the elect. One who visited me declared that the shadows of some Irishmen before him had no halo about them that it was only natives that were so distinguished "" See Volume II p. 224. The verso of the leaf is from an earlier section of this chapter. It reads again in part: I know but one small grove of sizable trees left in Concord supposed to have been planted by the pigeons that were once baited with beechnuts near by; it is worth the while to see the silver grain sparkle when you split this wood; the bass; the hornbeam; the Celtis occidentalis or false elm of which we have but one well-grown; some taller mast of a pine a shingle tree or a more perfect hemlock than usual "" See Volume II p. 224. ""Thoreau's Walden occupies a special place in our American heritage. Moreover the book is still alive and vibrant and it reaches out to touch the life of each one of us who is receptive it has come to be thought a central document in the American experience "" Thorpe Treasures of the Huntington Library. ""Solid chunks of thought in the midst of a solid chunk of nature proving that the minimum of cash expenditure and of creature comfort may result in the maximum of acute observation and celebrationfor almost a hundred years an inspiration to nature-lovers to philosophers to sociologists and to persons who love to read the English language written with clarity"" Grolier 100 Influential American Books 63.
