- New York: William D. Smith, 1841
New York: William D. Smith, 1841. 1/4 leather. Very Good +. A handsome copy of the 1841 1st edition. Tight and VG+ to Near Fine in its modern 1/4 morocco over marbled boards. Dark-red leather title label, detailed tooling within the compartments. The original text bright and well-preserved. Some spotting at the plates and the text, very light staining along a number of the fore-edges. Still though eminently legible and presentable. Tall quarto, "illustrated by eighty-seven copperplate engravings". (Hitchcock #693).
