About This Item
London: Kegan Paul, Trench & Co., 1884. First edition, hardback. Bound in three quarter leather, with marbled boards, and gilt stamped title to spine. 369 pages + colour folding map to rear. Leather on boards is heavily rubbed, but the contents are quite clean, without markings or damage. Colour map is slightly foxed (see photos). 195 x 135 mm (7¾ x 5¼ inches). This late nineteenth century work gives a fascinating glimpse in to the European view of the "American" as a social alchemist, and a glance at "evolution of the American people".
