Description
 
Octavo. Original green grained cloth, spine and front board lettered in gilt. Institutional bookplate of the Guild of Undergraduates Students' Union Library,
University of Liverpool to front pastedown, with their ink stamps and a blind-embossed seal to the title page. Small vintage bookseller ticket of Martin A. McGoff, Liverpool, to lower corner of front pastedown.
First English edition, a scarce title with only five copies recorded on WorldCat.
This volume collects Mann’s essential essays on Goethe and Tolstoy, Frederick the Great, and the Occult.
A structurally sound, very good copy. The gilt remains bright. The green cloth exhibits only minor, slight fraying at the spine head and minimal rubbing to the extremities. The text block is clean and firmly bound. An appealing copy with a distinct academic history.
