141 p. Dampstain. Title page torn without loss. 165mm. Virtually disbound. This perhaps should best be considered a candidate for rebinding. First edition. "James Bradley Thayer (1831-1902) was a Boston attorney, legal scholar, and professor at Harvard University. He had business dealings with Emerson and was one of a party of twelve who, with Emerson, went in a private Pullman car from Boston to California, and travelled there for several weeks, in 1871. Thayer wrote a number of diary-like letters to his wife while on the trip which later formed the basis for this account. This book also contains the letter that Thayer had written to the Boston 'Daily Advertiser' in which he attempts to clarify the response to a recent (1883) Boston lecture on Emerson given by Matthew Arnold." - From a description by Riverrow Book Shop.
