1822 William Storer / Gray & Hewit, Printers (New Haven, Connecticut) 4 1/8 x 6 3/4 inches tall leather covered boards, gilt ruling and burgundy leather gilt-lettered label to spine, 8vo., 210 pp. First thus (American Imprints 9093), first printing of the Imitation in Connecticut (Shoemaker 9094, Parsons 778).
