ANNE ROYALL - FIRST PROFESSIONAL FEMALE JOURNALIST in AMERICA - "SKETCHES OF HISTORY, LIFE, AND MANNERS in the UNITED STATES" - First Edition of Her First Book, 1826 SKETCHES OF HISTORY, LIFE, AND MANNERS, IN THE UNITED STATES - BY A TRAVELER [ANNE ROYALL]. NEW HAVEN: Self-Published, 1826. First edition Anne Royall's first book. Because she was a woman, and because she was an unknown writer, Anne Royall wrote the book under the pseudonym "A Traveller". She self-published the book. It was widely read. She wrote all her later books under her name. Hardcovers, 3/4 leather (spine and corners) and marbled paper covered boards, gilt edging to the leather, gilt designs and lettering to the spine, gilt top page edges, marbled endpapers, 4.5x7.5 inches, 392 pages. Lacking frontispiece (copy of frontispiece laid in), textually complete. GOOD condition: The covers have some scraping to the edges, corner tips and spine folds, but remain solid and quite lovely; the page edges (page edges of the closed book) have some light foxing and soiling; internally, lacking the frontispiece (as noted above), the pages are bound too tightly in some sections, the pages have light toning and soiling especially to the margins and corners, and there is a spot here and there, overall the pages are well-bound, bright, clean and unmarked. A solid, presentable copy. Important and rare self-published first edition copy of Anne Royall's first book. Many consider Royall to be the First Professional Female Journalist in the United States. Please read all about Anne Royall on her Wikipedia page. Well worth reading!
