A bit shaken, scattered light foxing, front hinge starting. Good+. Larned calls the book "generally authentic," and that "Some valuable and interesting notices of Dutch and early English life in New York City and Albany appear here, also life-like portrayals of the experiences of pioneers in western New York. Many details as to dress, furniture, marriage customs, also many extracts from advertisements in old newspapers are given." And, it has a chapter on the Erie Canal. Nevertheless, Larned says it is "worthless" for the "reader of the present day," as it is not "scientifically selected or arranged." FIRST EDITION. Howes W170. Jenkins Full Howes 2672. Larned 3266.
