This is a good copy of Farm Ballads by Will Carlton. Circa 1880's Harper & Brothers Illustrated Edition. This is not a true First Edition as this is the revised edition of 1882. PLEASE READ CONDITION NOTES FOR THIS COPY AS IT IS OLD AND RARE. This copy is good inside and out. There is light natural tanning to pages and rare foxing to text pages with foxing apparent to the first and last two blank pages. Illustrated frontispiece with tissue guard still in place. The binding is good, pages tight to binding. Hardcover boards in tan with gold trim/design/title and author are also good. NOTE: The hardcover boards are good but see photos to show where the wearing of the cloth covering to boards is fraying, top front left edge at spine and bottom edge of spine.
