H. Bailliere. London. 1843. FIRST EDITION. 8vo. (9.1 x 6.2 inches). A very good copy which is illustrated with 35 full page hand coloured and 5 black and white engravings, including several of Native Americans after George Catlin, and 90 wood engraved text illustrations. The book collates as per the list of plates with the addition of the frontispiece, Native of New Zealand, not called for in the list. A set of six large maps were issued separately, at a price of 15 shillings, to accompany this work but they are seldom found with copies of this work and the book is complete without them. A few pages with minor marks but overall a very clean and fresh copy, finely recently bound in half dark blue Morocco leather. Raised bands, the compartments ruled, lettered and decorated in gilt. Red title label, gilt. Blue cloth on the boards. All edges marbled. A very good copy.

Publishers dark green cloth with gilt ruled lines and letering to the spine. Boards with single blind ruled borders. Curiously, the title page has London as the lead address but has the US printer, John Wilson and Son, University Press (of Cambridge, Massachusetts), on the verso of the title page, whereas the British edition was printed by R. & R.

This American edition is very similar to the English edition except the 2pp of adverts at the end of the text are for Macmillan New York's current titles, and the binding spine has fewer gilt ruled lines to the US version. A little minor rubbing to the extremities of the binding but this is a lovely clean and tight copy inside and out. Rare in such fine condition.
