Boston, MA: Samuel Walker and Co., 1867. Complete in two volumes, uniformly bound in dark brown two-tone full morocco with gilt borders, bevelled edges, text block edged in gilt, spine panels elaborately decorated in gilt with 6 compartments (5 raised bands). Vol. I: 1868 printing; Vol. II: 1867 printing (originally issued 1863). Both front covers with illustrated gilt emblem of bald eagle and two militiamen raising their hats in victory, both also stamped in gilt beneath device with name of former owner Thomas Whitby. (We assume, but cannot confirm, this to be the same Thoms Porter Whitby whose papers are housed in the Special Collections and Archives of Auburn University. Whitby enlisted in Company D, 37th Alabama Infantry, in 1862 where he served until the end of the Civil War. Afterwards, he studied dentistry and practiced in Auburn, Wetumpka, and Selma, AL.) viii,652 + 648 pp., well illustrated with steel engravings. Leather is mildly rubbed on corner panels and along joints but has been treated and remains quite supple and intact, with only one corner showing the slightest bit of exposure. Two hinges slightly starting (paper only) but absolutely firm. Light scattered foxing generally limited to plates and adjacent leaves, at worst a minor cosmetic issue. We are conservatively evaluating this set as strong VG+, but surely it would rank a solid Near Fine in most estimates. Exceptional condition, early printing, in the uncommon full morocco binding.
