Description

Cincinnati: Published for Subscribers / Whetstone & Buxton, Printers, 1829. Hardcover. Fair. 8vo - over 7¾ - 9¾" tall. Octavo. 610 pages. Hardcover bound in original full leather. The binding is quite worn but holding. Front hinge is heavily rubbed and is starting. The spine is slightly curved inward. Marbled endpapers. Front flyleaf a little loosened. Outside edges of the text block show heavy wear. The text is foxed but the text block is sound. Illustrated with 6 engraved plates, including a folding frontis plate (HALF OF THE FOLDING FRONTIS IS MISSING). This book was reprinted throughout several years, and most copies appear to have some plates missing or no plates at all. We have not seen any copies with more than 6 plates, but some later printings appear to have some plates (Alexander Hamilton and Nathaneal Greene) which do not appear in this edition. No author is given on the title page, but this work is attributed to Amos Blanchard.
