There’s no date of publication but in the back someone had written a note that dates it back to 1907 so let me know if you can tell me anything about it, I’d appreciate it. Thank you for your time.

Q: This book has been in our family, apparently since 1903, judging by the note on the flyleaf. I wondered if it might be a first edition, but I don’t see any publishing information inside. After the inscribed flyleaf is the title page: “EVANGELINE, A TALE OF ACADIE.” On the back of the title page is a biography of Longfellow, and the poem begins on the following page. Just wondering if you could tell me the year of publication and whether it is a first edition. Thanks for your help. Photos attached.
