Original muslin cloth, lacking the printed spine label. Some wear and staining on binding. Some stains and foxing in text. Plates are fine. Overall a very good copy. In a half morocco and cloth clamshell case. "These regulations were printed in compliance with a joint resolution of Congress approved by President Lamar on January 23, 1839...Except for the section at the end, 'Uniform of the Army,' they follow closely the GENERAL REGULATIONS FOR THE ARMY OF THE UNITED STATES, City of Washington (copy in my collection). These sixteen pages on the uniform appear to be a revision of the material issued in a twelve-page pamphlet, No. 374 here, and like that pamphlet are preceded by General Order No. 5, dated Houston, May 23, 1839, ordering the adoption of the uniform...If this binding was done in Texas, those copies with the original binding are the earliest examples of Texas binding of which I have a record" - Streeter. Inscribed on the front endsheet: "P.J. Pillans Capt. 1st. Regt. T.[exas] Army Houston Aug. 17th 1839." During his lifetime Pillans was a surveyor, soldier, and land promoter. In 1838 he moved to Texas and was commissioned a first lieutenant in the Army of the Republic of Texas and promoted to captain. Streeter locates only three copies of this printing and only six of Streeter TEXAS 372A, including his own. Several lack the errata leaf, and his copy and that of the Houston Public Library are incomplete.
