[Rarebooks] FS: First Edition of U. S. Grant's MEMOIRS in Full Sheep Binding

[Charles Agvent]

GRANT, Ulysses S. PERSONAL MEMOIRS OF U. S. GRANT. New York: Charles L. 
Webster & Company, 1885 & 1886. First Edition. Two volumes in the 
apparently most uncommon binding for this title: full sheep leather with 
marbled endpapers and edges, contrasting gilt-lettered morocco spine 
labels. With 49 maps and illustrations, including two steel-engraved 
frontispiece portraits and two etched views, all with tissue-guards, as 
well as holograph facsimiles of Grant's writing. With 1886 ink ownership 
signatures of J. W. Fuller on the versos of both front endpapers. Bright 
and clean internally. The hinges of the first volume are weak with 
slight give but covers still firmly attached; some fraying to spine 
tips. Very Good. (#020276)        $600
