by Goldsmith, Oliver
Printed for William Andrews Clark, Jr., by John Henry Nash, in an edition limited to 200 numbered copies, with an accompanying facsimile edition (O'Day, pp.48-9).

Frontispiece portrait of Goldsmith by William H. Wilke done in drypoint after a bas-relief by Helen Hall Culver.

Offset to endpapers, minor wear to slipcase, with some chipping to spine, a few small pieces flaked off, and light stains on one side.
