Introduction by Albert Bigelow Paine who was Clemens' literary executor. Twain had been attempting to write an autobiography for 35 years prior to his death.

Frontis portrait in each volume with tissue guard. Pagination: vol. 1: 368pp; vol. 2: 365pp. Two pages of ads in rear of volume 2 with Harper's Mark Twain books.
