About This Item
Chicago: M. A. Parker & Company. Good+. 1875. Hardcover. Maroon cloth covers show quite a bit of shelf wear to the spine edges and corners. The corners are bumped and rubbed through, and there are some scuffed and rubbed spots to the spine and covers. The hinges have been reinforced with archival glue and the b text block is tight. The pages have some browning to the text in places. This is a very scarce publication. It combines the two titles together. The first title was initially published in 1837, while the second title was first published in this edition in 1875. .
