Washington, D.C.: C. Alexander, Printer, 1847. Half-leather, marbled paper over boards, lettered in gilt on spine panel. Six editions, published annually 1847-1852 by order of the Secretary of the Navy, bound into one volume, retaining all separate title pages, lacking any original wraps that may have once accompanied. Text block appears to have been trimmed a bit along fore-edge. Front and rear endpapers and blanks are moderately foxed; interior shows scattered foxing, generally light. Exterior shows rubbed edges with some exposure at corners; leather along front joint and spine extremities is somewhat rubbed, and both covers show some surface rubbing and a few abrasions to the marbled paper. Firm binding throughout. 167 + 173 + 144 + 135 + 136 + 140 pp. The interior is fully intact with the exception of the noted (below) partially clipped 1849 title page. Most of the title pages have been signed by the original owner, R. F. Mason, who also indicated in accompanying inscriptions other details: on the 1847 title page, he has written "Pass'd Asst. Surgeon, U.S.A., 1852"; 1848 is unsigned; on the 1849 page (which is clipped around title as if a signature has been removed) are notes that he arrived to San Francisco on August 27, 1849 and received this register on August 28 while stationed on the U.S.S. Savannah at "Saucelito" [Sausalito]; on the 1850 page he shows himself as aboard the U.S.S. Warren at Sausalito in San Francisco Bay; on the 1851 page he has signed as "Asst. Surgeon" and indicated receipt in Nov. 1851; the 1852 page is also signed as "Passed Asst. Surgeon." In later editions of this Register, Mason is listed as Surgeon at the Norfolk [Virginia] Navy-Yard, through at least 1860. We have not conducted additional research to determine whether Mason served during the Civil War.. First Thus. Half-Leather. Good-VG. 12mo - over 6¾" - 7¾" tall. more information
