Rees, James (Colley Cibber)
The Life of Edwin Forrest. With Reminiscences and Personal Recollections.
Publisher: Philadelphia: T. B. Peterson & Brothers, 1874.
First Edition. 19½ X 14 cm. Reading Copy/No dj. Olive drab pebble-grained cloth, gilt titles on front board & spine, blind titles on rear board, olive drab end papers, sewn two-sections-on on sunk cords, [6], 21-524, 4 pp. Spine detached at rear joint, front joint about half gone, cloth crumbling, rubbed through to boards at corners and bottom edge near hinge, War Service Library bookplate on front paste-down, frontispiece lacking, otherwise internally clean & bright. Although pagination starts at page 21, the first gathering is complete and the second gathering is signed (2), so there is no apparent loss of text. Perhaps it was intended to accomodate additional preliminary matter that never materialized?
