Complete document: 2 leaves and a large (29 inches) fold out chart. Published by Congress, 1826. Document is heavily foxed but complete; if trimmed it would look much better but that is an aesthetic choice not a collectible one. This chart does not open all the way because the corner is folded into the binding; it could be cut open judiciously but again that is a choice for the next owner to make. The chart is a detailed examination of deserters and the dead. Analyzed by nationality, state of origin, age, occupation and more. A very cool and very scarce document.

1907 first UK edition. An above average library copy. Bound in half leather and blue boards blindstamped by library.

I also scanned the worst interior pages I could find - which are not so bad. Remainder of interior is quite readable with only occasional smudges and corner creases.
