FROST, ROBERT.

Memoirs of the Notorious Stephen Burroughs of New Hampshire.

New York MacVeagh, The Dial Press 1924 First edition. The story of the legendary New Hampshire rogue Stephen Burroughs, "whose villainies are equalled only by their charm." Reprinted from the Albany edition of 1811. With a preface by Robert Frost, who writes that the book belongs "on the shelf with Benjamin Franklin and Jonathan Edwards." Only Frost's second prose appearance in a book. Bound in cloth-backed textured boards, and with the original tan dust jacket, which has two short closed tears in the front panel, tear to one corner resulting in small loss of paper, some wear to spine ends, and some overall soiling. A rare copy in the jacket. From the collection of W.B. Shubrick Clymer, who was Frost's first bibliographer. (Crane D2).
