Memoir , Correspondence , And Miscellanies , From The Papers Of Thomas Jefferson , Four Volumes

F. Carr And Co., 1829. Hardcover. Good. Complete set of First Printings of the first publication of the papers of Thomas Jefferson This is an original matched set . It is clear that these books have been together since their publication . . Edited by Jefferson's grandson , Thomas Jefferson Randolph . The textblocks of the four books are in remarkably good condition . All material is present except the large foldout of Jefferson's draft of the Declaration of Independence . There is a ' notice " from the publisher in Volume One stating that the copies of the Declaration did not arrive in time to be shipped with these books . This would seem to indicate that this set of books was one of the first to be shipped . ( I will include a copy of Carr's foldout of draft of the Declaration with these books . ) Each of the books has the name of a previous owner on the second free endpaper . Beautiful marbled endpapers in each book . Some light foxing and damp stains in each book . Full leather bindings . All of the boards are present but detached . Ribbed spine panels are intact but the original graphics are no longer visible . The leather on the boards is in pretty good condition and make an attractive presentation , even though detached . A rare , important set for any collector of Jefferson materials .
