Adventures of Huckleberry Finn (Tom Sawyer's Comrade).

First English edition, preceding the first American edition of "the most praised and most condemned 19th-century American work of fiction" (Legacies of Genius). Octavo, original decorative red cloth stamped in black and lettered in gilt, patterned endpapers, illustrated from 174 drawings by E.W. Kemble. The English edition of Huckleberry Finn preceded the American by a few months and was made from sheets sent by American edition publisher Webster. In very good condition, bookplate. A very sharp example.
