(FROST,  Robert)  BURROUGHS,  Stephen. MEMOIRS  OF  THE  NOTORIOUS
STEPHEN  BURROUGHS OF NEW HAMPSHIRE. New York: MacVeagh/The Dial Press
1924.  First  Edition.  Cloth-backed  batik   boards.  Account  of  an
eighteenth  century New Englander reprinted from the Albany edition of
1811,  this  edition with a preface by Robert Frost, his second  prose
appearance  in a book (Crane D2). Howes B1022: "Picaresque adventures,
perhaps  somewhat  exaggerated, of a New England rogue." This copy  is
SIGNED  by  the poet on the front endpaper with his initials and  with
an  interesting  comment on Burroughs: "Stephen Burroughs is  said  to
have  been/related to John Burroughs/R.F./May 1943." An uncommon  book
downright  scarce when signed. Very Good or better, lacking the scarce
dustwrapper.                                                   $850.00
