Sobre este artículo
Holbrook and Fessenden, Brattleborough, VT, 1827. Revised Edition. Hardcover (Quarter Leather). Poor Condition. Book Skeel 220. The revised impression, with the latest corrections. The title page lacks a date, but she dates it as 1827? based upon Table LII, Of Numbers, which provides examples of Roman numerals, the last being for 1827 (p. 144). She describes this printing as, "Undated, and different in make-up from other Holbrook and Fessenden editions. ... This edition resembles most closely that of Middletown, 1829." OCLC shows no holdings for this particular printing, though Skeel in 1958 reported seven copies at Yale, Harvard, the Henry Ford Museum, NYPL, Columbia University, Western Reserve Historical Society and Middlebury College. Size: 5"-6" - Vigesimo-quarto (24mo). 168 pages. Item Type: Book. The text block is tight. The first few pages are are folded at the bottom corner. A few internal pages (87-92) are folded at the upper corner. The illustrations for the fables are similar to Alexander Anderson's first set (Plate XIII in Skeel), but some of them have been reversed from his originals. The rag paper is supple. Some pages in the middle (75-111) have a tide mark at the gutter. Exposure to moisture may have resulted in the small white dry bumps adhering to the surface on the pages up to 68. Bound with a leather spine and blue paper over wooden boards. The outside paper of the front cover has perished, along with over a third of the board itself, exposing the cloth ribbons. The front pastedown is loose, has lost the bottom corner and is tattered at the middle of the outside edge from the sharp edges of the board. The paper of the rear cover and the rear board are mostly intact. Quantity Available: 1. Category: Language & Linguistics; Spellers; Americana; United States; 19th century; Antiquarian & Rare.
