About This Item
Boston: William D. Ticknor & co., 1846. Reprint of 1846. Good in its original blind embossed, brown cloth covered boards with gilt text and decorations on the spine. A 16mo of 6 1/4 by 3 3/4 inches with cloth over the front joint cracked and the cloth over the rear joint starting and the cloth worn through over the tips of the boards and the very faint name of an early prior owner in pencil on the first free end page. The contents are complete, tight and with only occasional spots of foxing. However, there is more foxing to the end sheets and first few preliminaries. Lamber Lilly was a pseudonym for Francis Lister Hawks (1798-1866). Hawks was a lawyer for many years, changed careers to become an Episcopal minister, was always interested in history and wrote many books devoted to that subject. (DAB) 192 pages of text. Illustrated with a frontis title page from an engraving and nine images also from engravings. (Sabin, 30964)
