[COOPER, James Fenimore]. THE PATHFINDER; OR, THE INLAND SEA. London: 
Richard Bentley, 1840. First Edition. Precedes the American edition 
published later in the same year. Three volumes bound in original drab 
boards with paper spine labels. BAL 3891; Spiller & Blackburn 30. In 
this third of Cooper's five Leatherstocking Tales, set during the French 
and Indian War, the narrator describes how he surrenders the girl he 
loves to a more successful suitor. The boards are in quite nice 
condition, the spines less so with rubbing and some loss to the edges 
and chipping to the spine head of the first volume and some loss of 
paper at the bottom. Internally the hinges are secure and not 
compromised and the text is quite clean. Overall a Very Good set and 
quite uncommon in an unrestored original binding. (#016449)        $2,250.00
