Ben-Hur A Tale of the Christ by Lew Wallace published by Harper & Brothers 1880.  This is the first edition, but not a 1st printing.  It has the 11 Word Dedication ('To The Wife of My Youth Who still abides With Me') and no typo on page 11 indicating mid-1880s.  There are a list of Harper & Brothers books available at popular prices at the end of the book.  It is a very nice volume with tight binding and clean pages but there is a tear at the bottom rear of the spine and the end papers are broken in the front and rear inside covers.
