HOWE, E[DGAR] W[ATSON] Daily Notes of a Trip Around the World (new edition)
New York Minton, Balch & Co. 1927 Hard Cover Good
Vi,303 pages, cloth, top of back-strip frayed otherwise very good. From the preface to the new edition: "The journey actually began October 26, 1905, and ended March 10, 1906; but travel letters never grow old, if reasonably well done in the first place. The many commendations mine have received have resulted in this new edition. Original publication was in two volumes, usually objectionable to readers, and this fault has been overcome by careful revision." From the Columbia Encyclopedia, Sixth Edition: "Edgar Watson Howe, 1853-1937, American editor and author, b. Treaty, near Wabash, Ind. From 1877 to 1911 he was editor and proprietor of the Atchison, Kans., Daily Globe, and in 1911 he established E. W. Howe's Monthly. Published until 1937, this periodical was noted for Howe's pithy editorials. His first and generally considered best book is The Story of a Country Town (1883), among the first realistic novels of small-town life in the Midwest and a precursor of the naturalistic novel in American fiction. Always a champion of the common people, Howe was nicknamed the "Sage of Potato Hill."
