Sobre este artículo
Worcester, Mass.: Dorr, Howland & Co., 1841. First Edition. Very good in its contemporary, full leather (calf) covered boards with faded and rubbed gilt text and decorations on the spine. An octavo measuring 8 3/4 by 5 1/4 inches with the leather at the head of the spine worn down to the text block and shallow chipping of the leather at the heel of the spine. There is also considerable foxing throughout the pages, but none so bad as to render the text unreadable. 576 pages of text illustrated with a frontispiece and throughout the text with line drawings and wood cut engravings by the author. The fold-out, hand colored map following the preface has lost 2/3rds of its width which has been replaced with a color facsimile. (Howes, B-124)
