Question & Answer Series 142 Petit Trianon Series

Q: I have in my possession Emerson’s Essays First Series and Second Series and am trying to determine their edition/age as there is no date indicated that I can see. I’ve searched your site, and they seem to most resemble the Petit Trianon series, but not exactly. I’m wondering if you can give me any more information?
Thank you!

A: Your books are from the Petit Trianon Series and were published in 1898. They are reprints and originally came within a labeled box.
