Bromfield Corey
In an article whose name and author I do not know, there is apparently a reference to the character of Bromfield Corey (The Rise of Silas Lapham) as a type of Jamesian aesthete -- an artist figure who would seem at home in Henry James' work. I'd be grateful to anyone who knows where I can find that reference, or similar commentary on Bromfield Corey. Thank you.

Hello,
We think we have an original book, "Christmas every day and other stories".
It was presented to one of our relitives on christmas in 1892, it is signed on the inside cover by the persenter.
Is there any value to this copy, it is in very good condition and a hardcover.
Thank You, Doug Sayre

You very well may have a 1st edition of Christmas Every Day. It was published on December 7, 1892. It has a copyright date of 1892 and a title page date of 1893. It has a brown cover with gold bells decorating it. Your copy may have some value (I would check ABE to see if it is being offered), perhaps even as much as a couple of hundred dollars, but it is not a high cost item. The main issue with the book would be condition, as many copies are in poor shape, probably from annual readings to children. It was reprinted several times. Any copy with a green cover is probably a reprint.
Very nice copies of this book are scarce.
Best wishes,
Gary Culbert |
