8vo (5.5 x 7.5), chocolate brown stamped cloth, gilt titles, 252pp. Second Edition, so stated. Spine chipped at edges, rubbing to boards and endpapers. Binding firm and secure, pages unmarked though mildly foxed. The Second American Edition of Cardinal Newman’s philosophical and autobiographical novel, following the initial 1850 publication by Patrick Donahoe of Boston. Original American printings scarce. A nice example.
