About This Item
1858 We have here the original printing of this scarce and highly-prized early Maine educational Journal. Edited and published by the then Superintendant of Common Schools Mark H. Dunnell. All are bound in period light brown calf and marbled paper boards (Hardcover.) A small black title label adorns the rather plain spine, along with a few gilt rules, about VG condition. It is bound with plain end papers which have 2 owner signatures in the front and one in the rear. The index to volume I is bound after the title page. All of the first 12 issues are present and in near-Fine to Fine (NF-F) condition with none of the usual foxing as is often seen in very old paper. Quite scarce, with only 4 (possible) examples at institutions in the US (according to worldcat) and no examples, other than reprints, anywhere for sale. NOTE: Educational and/or Historical institutions will naturally receive preferential treatment for ordering purposes.
