Begun in November 1822, at the behest of his daughter Jane, and completed in 1828, Bewick's autobiography was first published in 1862. The opening chapters recall vividly his early life on Tyneside. Later passages in the work reveal Bewick's strongly held views on religion, politics and nature. The work also features illustrations for several proposed works which, later, secured his high reputation.* A NEAR FINE copy of the 1st. thus 1st. imp. with NO MAJOR FAULTS but no dust jacket.* 1924-01-01
