First edition. Ads dated May 1854, preceding the publication of the book that August; no priority as per BAL 20106. Map has faint S.W. Chandler & Bro. imprint. 357, 8 [ads] pp. with map facing p. 307. Publisher's blind-stamped brown cloth with gilt lettering to spine, original yellow endpapers.Very Good. Cloth skillfully refurbished, restoring wear at the head and foot; cloth rubbed but generally sound, hinges uncracked, a sporadic small stain in the upper margin of the book; some toning, wave, and scattered foxing to contents. A nice copy of the classic nature study.

Walden is a reflection upon simple living in natural surroundings written by Henry David Thoreau.
