Very good set, and a very handsome edition.

Each volume is inscribed (not signed) by John Burroughs on the front free endpaper, "From her friend the Author."

First edition, first issue binding (binding A). Burroughs' first regularly published book after a self-published essay on Whitman (1867). Small octavo (6¾x4½ inches). Pp. iv, 231. Title printed in black and red. Publisher's green beveled cloth decoratively stamped in black and gold, yellow coated ends. Original owner's name and date in pencil on front free endpaper. Bookplate on inner cover. Small repaired nick to fore-edge of front board, but a fine, clean and bright copy. Housed in chemise and matching cloth slipcase, leather label. An exceptional copy, bright and clean. Signed on the front free endpaper in pencil by the original owner, "Edward Tompkins, Oakland, July 24, 1871." This is a very early copy based on the penciled date as BAL states this title was listed May 15, 1871. [BAL: 2135].

First edition of the author's first commercially published book in BAL's binding A; the most elaborate of the three variant first edition bindings, of which there is no known priority. BAL 2135. Octavo, original publisher's cloth with gilt titles and tooling to the spine and front panel, pale yellow endpapers. In very good condition with the gilt decorations very bright. Housed in a custom folding chemise case. "Burroughs' first book, Notes on Walt Whitman, is something of a literary anomaly, being possibly written in part by Whitman himself. In his second, he steps into his proper field. Though not published until he was nearly forty, Wake-Robin is a book of youthful ardor. Its freshness is unquestioned, its philosophy charming and its manner that of distinguished literature. As a popular essayist on nature Burroughs was the successor of Thoreau, --less imbued than the latter with a sense of its ethical significance, yet equally sympathetic and far exceeding him in scientific spirit" (Fullerton).

INSCRIBED BY JOHN BURROUGHS IN YEAR-OF-PUBLICATION on the front free endpaper. A solid copy to boot of the 1871 1st edition of the author's 2nd published book. Solid and VG in its chocolate-brown cloth, with decorative gilt-titling and insignia along the front panel and spine. Former owner bookplate (and brief written comment below it) at the front pastedown, light wear to the spine crown and just a bit of light chipping at the spine base. 12mo, also called at the half-title "The Return of the Birds"
