About This Item
Newark, N.J.: Benjamin Olds for Justus H. Bradley, (1844). First Edition. Very good, although rebacked with original end pages, with gilt, text stamping on the spine, it is in its original, blind embossed, cloth covered boards with an embossed gilt laurel seal on the front board. An octavo of 8 3/4 by 5 3/4 inches with the cloth at the tips of the boards and lower edges of the boards worn through. There is a dampness stain on the front end sheets and foxing throughout the contents. Without a dust jacket. 620 pages of text and illustrated with a hand-colored double frontis and with 120 from engravings. The hand-colored, fold-out map of the New England states, New York, Pennsylvania and New Jersey, follows page 8 and suffers only from multiple creases and very minor losses to the margins, several other maps within the text and a number of plates. (Howes, B-121)
