About This Item
New York: Lee and Shepard, 1875. Hardcover. Very Good/No Jacket. Bright gilt spine lettering & decoration on blind stamped red covers in hand-made brown paper wrappers - which had kept this volume in very good condition! 12mo, 409 pages plus ads.. Ex- library copy - This is Volume No.10 of the West Bath (Maine) Library Association, with their label on the inside of the cover. The unusual library label says: "N. B. This book must not be lent out of the subscribers family, and if injured, all damage must be paid to the librarian. No volume can be kept over four weeks ; two weeks additional time will be allowed by having it renewed. A fine of two cents per day will be charged for a book kept over this time. A violation of these rules will result in a loss of membership.". Other than the brown paper wrapper pasted on the inside of the covers, and the library bookplate, this is a very good copy.
