[Charles Agvent]

[GARFIELD, James A.] RUSKIN, John. THE ETHICS OF THE DUST. TEN LECTURES 
TO LITTLE HOUSEWIVES ON THE ELEMENTS OF CRYSTALLISATION. New York: John 
Wiley & Son, 1866. First American Edition. Original purple cloth. James 
Garfield's copy SIGNED and dated by the future President on the front 
free endpaper: "J. A. Garfield/1867" with his printed bookplate 
("Library of/James A. Garfield/Inter Folia Fructus") on the front 
pastedown. Books signed by Garfield are rather uncommon. Garfield served 
only four months as President before being shot by Charles Guiteau. His 
term was the second shortest served by a President. Contents clean. 
Covers faded with a large dampstain on the rear with an effect on the 
inside rear cover but very little to the rear endpapers; slight fraying 
to the rear spine edge and head. Good or better. (#019012)        $5,000.00
