A handsome set with uncommonly well-preserved covers."The natural disposition of most people is to clothe a commander of a large army whom they do not know with almost superhuman abilities. A large part of the National army for instance and most of the press of the country clothed General Lee with just such qualities but I had known him personally and knew that he was mortal; and it was just as well that I felt this."Inventory ID: 048 - 122 - 912 Charles L.

Ulysses S. Grant Memoirs 1st Ed. 2-Vol. Set

1886115New York NY: Charles L. Webster & Company 1886. Very Good. A first edition set of Personal Memoirs of U.S. Grant published in two volumes by Charles L. Webster & Company 1885–86. Handsomely bound in full butterscotch calf with gilt-stamped red and black spine labels marbled endpapers and matching marbled edges this deluxe set includes steel-engraved frontispiece portraits with tissue guards numerous maps plates and both original fold-out facsimiles: General Buckner’s surrender in Vol. I and General Lee’s surrender in Vol. II. Together the volumes span 1231 pages and measure approximately 6.5" x 9.375" x 4" stacked. The set carries notable provenance with both volumes bearing the gilt-stamped name Aubrey Louis Abramson on the front boards and the Abbie & Emily Abramson bookplate on the pastedowns. Volume I also features a San Francisco bookseller label J. Dewing & Co. and a penciled 1951 note referencing a Berkeley textbook shop. Condition is Very Good to Near Fine: light rubbing and edge wear as expected for its age a discreet repair to the spine base of Vol. II and a minor rear cover crack. Interiors are largely clean and crisp with only occasional age-toning. Grant’s memoirs remain among the most significant works of Civil War literature. Written during his final year while battling terminal cancer the project was championed and published by Mark Twain who secured generous royalty terms to benefit the Grant family. Completed just days before Grant’s death in 1885 the memoirs were a commercial triumph ultimately providing his widow with over $450000. This set with its elegant binding and compelling provenance is a fine example of one of the 19th century’s most enduring historical narratives. SD3 . Charles L. Webster & Company unknown
