Description
This book of domestic entertainments was marked up in blue pencil and purple ink by its publisher, G. W. Carleton (1832–1901), for a new edition of the book that was planned in 1877 and provisionally titled “That Pleasant Evening.” Revisions include the removal of 50 pages of text, as well as substantial modifications to the placement and size of illustrations, etc. The copy contains additional markings in pencil by its subsequent owner: “Louie Carleton”—that is Louise Carleton (1872–1925), daughter of G. W. Carleton.
