First edition of this major work by Hawthorne in very good condition with the catalogue in the front dated November 1850 instead of the later March 1851 catalogue seen in most first editions found of this book. Other bibliographical points include no comma after solitude on page 343, line 31. BAL 7604, Clark A. 17.1.a. The book has a  very small bookplate and some bibliographical pencil notes on the front pastedown, generally clean internally with only a few pages having foxing. Original cloth boards have some fraying to the top and bottom of the spine as shown (looks worse in the picture than in person), gilt strong, book slightly cocked, publisher boards still beautifully embossed with its original publisher designs. These pictures seem to make this book condition look worse than it actually is. Complete, unsophisticated and original.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Nathaniel Hawthorne","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48790529212621,"sku":null,"price":950.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0648\/3751\/7517\/files\/houseofthesevengables_front1.jpg?v=1788457274","url":"https:\/\/windersrarebooks.com\/products\/the-house-of-the-seven-gables","provider":"Winders Rare Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
