About This Item
New York: John F. Trow, 1857. This book is in wraps that are fragile but attached and the pages have been hand cut. This was the address by Dr. John Francis at the dedication of the permanent house for the New York Historical Society. When delivered, the speech as noted by the author, was curtailed and was later published in its entirety. The address was entitled - New York during the last half century. Dr. Francis was eminently qualified to deliver this address as he was a long term member of the society and knew many of the prominent citizens of the time that he spoke about. It reads wonderfully -even today and the book also gives the proceedings of the dedication of that time of the library. Wonderful resource book on the history of new york and the background of the new york historical society.. 1st Edition. Wraps. Good to Very Good. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall.
