Philadelphia / New York, Frederick Leypoldt, F.W. Christern, 1864. First edition. Cloth. xxxviii, 145 pp. 16mo. From the short lived firm of Frederick Leypoldt. Frederick Leypoldt (1835-1884) publisher and co-founder of the American Library Association began publishing in 1863 because of the dearth of imported books during the Civil War, his first work being a translation of 'The Ice Maiden' by Hans Christian Andersen. By 1866 he joined with Henry Holt to form Leypoldt and Holt in New York which he left shortly thereafter. Shaw-Shoemaker: 6003. Spine sunned, paper spine label rubbed and chipped, small chip to head of spine, wear at extremities, binding tight, leaves crisp and clean; overall a good solid copy of this uncommon Philadelphia imprint.
