Description: As always, we are pleased to bring this wonderfully rare and Extremely unique item to public market for the first time. This hand signed & first edition of Society & Solitude by Ralph Waldo Emerson , likely given directly by Emerson after personally inscribing the book to Charles T. Jackson. Jackson was a leading theologian, Doctor, Scientist and Harvard Graduate who was a friend of Emerson’s and who hailed from the same region as he did. Jackson was a leading mind in the world of science and medical study in the mid 19th century. This book was given to Jackson just 10 years prior to his passing in 1880. This is a rare book without the signature or inscription. Adding those to this piece makes it an unbelievably rare find. Condition isn’t perfect but should be considered acceptable for any high end book collector given the historically important nature of the piece and its extremely rare nature. Gold guilting is good, still visible, see photos to best judge condition and ask questions as needed. We are always available to assist with any questions you may have. We stand behind our items and back all sales with a 100% money back guarantee if you believe there is an issue with the authenticity of the piece you purchased! Send it back and we will immediately return your payment fully with no hassle or arguments. This has yet to happen over the more then 2 decades we have been in the business of buying and selling rare documents, manuscripts and books but if and when it does we are 100% prepared to stand behind this promise!
