Three volumes. Engraved armorial frontis. Small 8vo. 17 cm. Later English half leather binding by A. F. Denny, rubbed at extremities. Marbled edges. Engraved bookplate of Alexander Uffey. ** FROM THE HARRY S. TRUMAN LIBRARY: Embossed stamp of the 'Harry S. Truman Library / Independence Missouri' and the 'Surplus / Duplicate' stamp of the Library of Congress. Warren was an English lawyer who gained fame for his arguments against the insanity defense. Starting in 1830, he contributed regular ly to Blackwood's Magazine. His great success was 'Ten Thousand a Year' which ran in Blackwood's October 1839 to August 1841. It was one of the most popular novels of the century. Defying public sentiment, critics complained of the banality of the moralizing and the extravagance of the humor. Most contem poary readers, on the other hand, found the sketches of farcical characters boldly drawn and the caricatures clearly developed. Warren lived on the fame of this work for decades. For some reason, this particular edition is scarce. Of course, this set gains added interest in having come from U.S. President Truman's library. "There is probably no man living, though ever so great a fool, that cannot do 'something' or other well" -- Samuel Warren. **PRICE JUST REDUCED! W148
