About This Item
Boston: I. Thomas (Isaiah Thomas) and E. T. Andrews, 1792. First Edition First Printing . Hardcover. Fair. 12mo. 216 pages. Hardcover bound in original paper-covered wooden boards. The binding is very worn, and the spine has perished, exposing the gatherings and stitching. The wooden boards are chipped, especially at the fore edges and along the bottom of the front cover. Much of the paper on the rear board is peeled or chipped off. The binding is still holding. Untrimmed. Complete with the copperplate engraved frontis and the footnote at page 77. Some foxing to the text. The title page and frontis are especially foxed and soiled. Early signature at the top edge of the front flyleaf appears to read "N. Pike," but there is some chipping right along the top edge at the signature. Rare.
