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 INSCRIBED and SIGNED 
by the poet on the front endpaper: "Cornelius Weygandt/from Robert

better, lacking the scarce dustwrapper.
