Garfield / Hiram 1857'' upon the front free endpaper of ''On the Study of Words'' by Richard Trench and published by Refield: New York: 1856. At the time Garfield signed the book, he had returned to Hiram, Ohio as President of Hiram College where he first worked as a janitor 6 years prior. Upon the front pastedown, Garfield's private library label is present, reading ''Inter Folia Fructus [Among the Leaves, Fruit] / Library of / James A. Garfield / No. 46.b.'' Measures 5.25'' x 7.5''. Book is in very good plus, well-preserved condition, with just a hint of wear to the boards and interior toning. Housed in a custom-made slipcase.
