Deaccessioned from the long-Defunct from the American Merchant Marine Library Association. X-LIB. F. Hopkinson Smith was a man of multiple talents. One of those talents was the penning of genial novels and travel books. Being an artist of no mean talent, he often illustrated his own books, which is the case with this novel, "Colonel Carter of Cartersville", which was illustrated by Smith, himself, and the well-known illustrator, E. W. Kemble. "Colonel Carter of Cartersville" is a novel in dialect - southern dialect, including that of the various black characters that inhabit the story. It is a genial story, and was considered to reflect a certain truth about Southern life and culture. the book was very popular in its day. Among F. Hopkinson Smith's other talents was that of a highly esteemed engineer. The most famous government construction contract for Smith was the foundation for the Statue of Liberty in New York Harbor.

Cloth. Condizione: Near Fine. Condizione sovraccoperta: None. E.W. Kemble and F. Hopkins Smith (Author) (illustratore). First Edition. ALMOST FINE FIRST EDITION FIRST ISSUE With the apostrophe in "Carter'sville" on spine and vignette of staircase on page 1. What also makes this book a one-of-a-kind is that it was owned and contains the bookplate of Louise Chandler Moulton, (Louise Chandler Moulton (1835 - August 10, 1908) was an American poet, story-writer and critic. She was born in 1835, the daughter of Lucius L. Chandler, in Pomfret, Connecticut. In 1855 she married a Boston publisher, William U. Moulton (d. 1898), under whose auspices her earliest literary work had appeared in The True Flag. Her first volume of collected verse and prose, This, That and the Other (1854), was followed by a story, Juno Clifford (1855), and by My Third Book (1859); her literary output was then interrupted until 1873 when she resumed activity with Bed-time Stories, the first of a series of volumes, including Firelight Stories (1883) and Stories told at Twilight (1890). Meanwhile she had taken an important place in American literary society, writing regular critiques for the New York Tribune from 1870 to 1876 and a weekly literary letter for the Sunday issue of the Boston Herald from 1886 to 1892. In 1876 she published a volume of notable Poems (renamed Swallow flights in the English edition of 1877) and visited Europe, where she began close and lasting friendships with leading men and women of letters. Thenceforward she spent the summers in London and the rest of the year in Boston, where her salon was one of the principal resorts of literary talent. In 1889 another volume of verse, In the Garden of Dreams, confirmed her reputation as a poet. She also wrote several volumes of prose fiction, including Miss Eyre from Boston and Other Stories, and some descriptions of travel, including Lazy Tours in Spain (1896). She was well known for the extent of her literary influence, the result of a sympathetic personality combined with fine critical taste. She died in Boston on the 10th of August 1908. The bookplate was executed by Sidney Lawton Smith (1845-1929) in NOV. 1908. He was known as one of the "Little Masters of Copperpate". The books from the library of the Louise Chandler Moulton most likely formed the Pomfret Library in Vermont. It's also very likely that Louise Moulton knew the author of this book as she was also a literary critic and corresponded with many of the author's of the time. A lot of great association between this being a first edition and book owned by Louise Moulton a writer and poet in her own right and a booplete fashioned by well-known artist. Green cloth binding with title in black printing on cover and in gold on the spine. THIS BOOK IS ALMOST FINE.

Cloth. Condizione: Very Good. Illustrations by E. W. Kemble and the Author (illustratore). First Edition. 208 pages. This book is notable for the gift inscription by the artist James A. M. Whistler on the front free endpaper, "signed" with his butterfly. "To Mrs Chalmers Mitchell / F.F.V.! / [butterfly drawing]." A later gift card signed "Lily C. M." and dated 1947 is laid in. Lily Chalmers Mitchell was the wife of zoologist Peter Chalmers Mitchell. Whistler may have known them through their mutual friend, publisher William Heinemann. "F.F.V." likely stands for First Families of Virginia. Perhaps Lily was from Virginia. Whistler's brother William lived in Richmond. Signed.
