About This Item
New York: Leavitt and Allen, 1860. Decorative Cloth. Very Good +. A tight, well-preserved copy of the uncommon original edition, circa 1860. Solid and VG+ in its decorative blindstamped cloth, with still-bright gilt-titling and design at the spine. A crisp, clean interior, save for just a touch of light, occasional foxing to the text and along the edges. 64mo, an extensive collection of patriotic songs (just shy of a hundred), produced no doubt partly as a result of the unprecedented --and unsettling-- recent threats to the Union.
