Burroughs, John: The Writings of John Burroughs Volume V. Pepacton. , London: J.M.Dent & Co., 1895

Riverside Edition. 241 pp. 19.5 x 13.5 cm. American cut-steel engraved frontispiece and vignette by Charles H. Woodbury. The edition from which this volume comes was limited to 1000 sets for England and America. Burroughs, 1837-1921, was an American naturalist and essayist, important in the conservation movement. After Thoreau he is probably the most important practitioner of that very American genre, the nature essay. He was born in the Catskill mountains and was a friend of Walt Whitman. His collected works run to 25 volumes. Pepacton was first published in 1881. Hugely popular at the turn of the 19th, 20th centuries he has been undeservedly rather neglected since. Spine professionally relaid. Boards a bit age worn and darkened, internally clean bright and fresh. (Book ref. 12964)  £25.00
