[Melville, Herman]: Smith, J.E.A.:

$275 · Offered by William Reese Company

THE HISTORY OF PITTSFIELD, (BERKSHIRE COUNTY,) MASSACHUSETTS, FROM THE YEAR 1800 TO THE YEAR 1876. First edition. Herman Melville contributed an account of Major Thomas Melville that appears on pp.206-8, as well as a direct quotation on pp.399-400. BAL's binding query ('Cloth?') strikes one as odd given the book's quite common occurrence in publisher's cloth.
