ORIGINAL 1826 2 Volume Set - History of New England from 1630 to 1649

Phelps and Farnham, 1825. Very Good/No Dust Jacket. This is a great 2 Volume Set of books with Leather bindings published in 1825 (Volume 1) and 1826 (Volume 2) as shown on the title pages. The covers are fully attached, the bindings are solid, and the books are in Very Good condition! The publisher of Volume 1 is Phelps and Farnham and the publisher of Volume 2 is Thomas B Wait and Son (both books look the exact same as a matching set). The books are handsomely bound with full leather over the "ribbed" spine and quarter leather over the corners - the boards are a fancy Marbled design and the endpapers are also marbled. The books are in amazingly great condition and appear to have rarely been handled or read - there is some occasional foxing on the pages and there is a one inch chip out of the top of the title page on Volume I (not affecting any text). The gold lettering on the spines is still nice and readable. The books are complete and the pages are unmarked. The leather covers show some fairly light edgewear. The leather on these books is handsome - I haven't added any oil or preservatives - they will likely polish up even nicer if you condition the leather. This is a Scarce set, documenting an important and narrow time frame in US history.
