American Tract Society pamphlet #33 circa 1855, New York. This pamphlet has inscription containing date, 1855. Numerous books and pamphlets with similar titles were produced by a variety of authors so there is understandably some confusion. I am reasonably confident this is the first American edition of this particular pamphlet. The Society frequently 'borrowed' material from the UK publishers so there may be earlier UK editions. The primary condition feature this pamphlet has going for it is that it still exists and is complete. As you can see from the images it is faded, stained, smudged and the cover is almost off. Paginates: (1)-32 pages including frontis. Notes: For those of you with bibliographic questions I suggest OCLC: 55129232 which is this exact copy but misdated (locates 2 copies). For a more complete look at dates see OCLC: 233639908 which discusses a similar item held at the American Antiquarian Society and confirms the 1855 date. Feel free to inquire. Uncommon in this early state. More… Read More

The undated New-York Religious Tract Society is generally considered the true first. The sources on this make conclusory statements and there is reason to doubt them.

Lacking old blanks, otherwise complete as issued. Lee was a British born career military officer who sought to lead the Continental Army in place of Washington. Lee is most famous now for his various hasty and leisurely retreats including being captured in his night gown by the British in 1776. After a prisoner exchange in 1778 Lee resumed command only to be court-martialled a few months later for insubordination. He must have had something going for him because he survived 30 years of military encounters where strategic withdrawal was not always an option. One of those characters that would be hard to imagine if he did not actually exist. See Howes L85. A… Read More

1858 London hardcover. First edition. Volume has undergone repairs: recased using original red boards with sympathetic new leather spine; new endpapers. Interior has moderate foxing, smudges and wear but nothing vandalized. Paginates: [6], (1)-239, errata slip plus 6 unpaginated plates. Complete as issued except for blanks. Numerous engravings in text. Uncommon true first. Please see images of the book you will receive. Notes: although classified as fiction what the author is doing is relating facts about recent world travels in a style designed to appeal to youth. Includes instruction on use of scientific instruments by travellers - an idea adopted not long after by The Royal Geographical Society in "Hints to Travellers" - so maybe this book is not 'juvenalia' as one might be led to believe.
