About This Item
Buffalo: Phinney & Co., 1851. First published in 1849 by G.P. Putnam; this is a Very Good (Plus) copy of a Later Printing, from two years later. Institutional holdings, but not a common book in the trade. Brown cloth binding, decoratively stamped; decorations and titling on the spine in gilt. Clean text; 162 pages; frontis engraving and map, other illustrations. Contemporary signature (1855) on the FFEP, along with a bookseller chop. The front paste-down has an inked number, probably signifying a private library. There is a laid-in clipping (which looks of the era) of a song/poem at Page 106. Mildly bumped, with a slight rub to head and foot of the spine (the gilt remains bright). The text is in exceptionally nice condition, remaining clear and bright, with only an occasional spot.. Later Printing. Hard Cover. Very Good (Plus)/No Jacket. 12mo - over 6¾" - 7¾" tall.
