About This Item
The Lewis Publishing Company. Near Fine. 1906. 1st Edition. Hardcover. 2-volume large format set, 513 pages and 560 pages, Please Note: this is the original edition rebound in sturdy brown cloth, "It is believed that the present work will prove a real addition to the existing mass of literature concerning the people of the county of Lycoming, and that without it, much valuable information would be irretrievably lost, owing to the passing away of many custodians of family records and the dispersion and disappearance of such matter." These beautifully-preserved copies have been rebound in sturdy brown cloth and the bindings look new, the contents are in excellent condition, text and illustrations are clean and free of foxing, we have examined both copies page-by-page and there are only a few minor flaws to report: Volume 1 - the tissue guard at page 275 has two vertical creases, the illustration following page 362 has a one-inch edge-tear which is in the margin does not affect the portrait at all. Volume 2: The tissue guard at page 74 has a short tear. The gold gilt on the edges of both volumes is mildly rubbed but overall is bright and attractive. Overall an outstanding and quite scarce regional genealogical history in outstanding condition .
