Sobre este artículo
Philadelphia: Matthew Carey. Very Good-. 1815. Second Revised Edition. 1/4 leather. 8vo 8" - 9" tall; 336 pages; 1815 Matthew Carey, Philadelphia. 2nd edition, much revised and enlarged from the 1st, published just several months earlier. Soundly bound in original quarter black leather backed spine, and title printed, drab paper covered boards. Title and horizontal rules in gilt to spine. Lettering to the paper covered board is very much dimmed and rubbed away but legible in large on close inspection. Paper over boards rubbed and chipped at edges; leather at spine soft at base of spine and a little stressed. It appears that some professional attention may have been given to stabilize the paper over boards. Expected general light toning and spotting to page stock and with a light damp line along the bottom edge of the first and last 10 or so leaves. The recurring question addressed by Carey - what to do when your country's populace is riven with factional dispute that threatens the whole... Is not to pen a polemic or become a character that embodies the worst and most divisive spirit - but to advocate for the common sense and commonality of citizenry in a representative democracy. A tome for the times. Well preserved copy. VG- .
