We have 15 different editions all from the estate of the Pennsylvania attorney Reuben C. Hale. Mr. Hale (1812-1863) graduated from Yale in 1830 and was a prominent figure in Pennsylvania state and local law practice, appointed Surveyor of the Port of Philadelphia and eventually named Quartermaster General of Pennsylvania in 1861. He was equally prominent in voluntary military units in central Pennsylvania and eventually carried the rank of General. Pages show minimal to heavy foxing and some copies have dampstains and spots. Please see photos provided as they are of the actual publication that is listed for sale. Most carry the signature showing R.C. Hale or Reuben C. Hale. Each copy has been placed in a protective polypropylene bag. This copy is the August 1857 edition but is not like the others as it DOES NOT have a valid signature present. There is a vertical crease present and chipping on cover as well as a dent. Some pages still uncut/unread. This particular edition is NOT SIGNED by Mr. Hale, though was obtained as part of the same collection. Attached photos should show any other condition issues.
