Founded in 1853 by W.K.

Signed by Drury on the title page, and additional inscribed by him on the dedication page. Laid is some related ephemera, including a typed letter signed (TLS) from Drury to Roy Sorenson, the fifth Managing Director of the San Francisco Association. Original blue cloth binding, with gilt stamping. A bit of mild wear along the bottom edge of the boards. The dust jacket is slightly rubbed; otherwise a very good copy. Inscribed by Author.
