About This Item
Baltimore: William Wooddy / Wm. Wooddy & Son, 1847 / 1850. First edition. Hardcover. Very good. Two volumes bound-in-one. 1/2 leather binding with marbled boards. Folded 8 x 10 inch letter from Philip Evan Thomas, dated 1850, pinned to the front free endpaper. First volume: 189, [3] pp including errata page. Second volume: 119 pp. This is a detailed account of the Quaker effort from 1828 to 1850 to provide assistance to the Seneca indians. This copy was also a presentation copy from a Joint Committee member, Philip Thomas, who was also the first president of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad and a major figure in the early canal enterprises of New England. In a cover letter, pinned to the front free endpaper, Thomas writes to a friend: ". . . I now forward to thee 10 copies of our Report for 1847 to 1850. Having had a copy bound for thee, with the Report of 1847, I also enclose it. This volume embraces the history of our proceedings from 1828 to 1850. " A fascinating account from the viewpoint of the Quakers. " Some wear to the extremities and spine re-backed with original gilt lettering still largely intact. Modest foxing on the last 12 pages of the first volume and some dampstains on rear pastedown and endpapers. Overall, a very tight and clean copy.
