Sobre este artículo
Philadelphia: Lippincott & Co, 1857. Second edition. Frontispiece aquatint. Engraved aquatint title page and numerous text illustrations. 510 pp. 1 vols. 8vo. Original brown half publisher's brown morocco and marbled boards, marbled edges, marbled endpapers. Front joint tender. Second edition. Frontispiece aquatint. Engraved aquatint title page and numerous text illustrations. 510 pp. 1 vols. 8vo. Presentation Copy, Inscribed to Junius Spencer Morgan. With the contemporary inscription from the author, "J.S. Morgan, Esq / with regards of the author / E.J. Lewis M.D. / Dec 6th 1858". The recipient, of course, was the financier and father of J.P. Morgan; four years earlier, in 1854, he had taken his first big step into international banking as a partner in the firm of George Peabody & Co., and it is to be hoped that this volume provided an impetus for his interest in more recreational pursuits. Phillips p. 225; Henderson pp. 162-163; Heller 2:703
