Hardcover bound in original full leather. The binding is worn and bumped with some old scuffing but is sound. Hinges secure. Early owner's inscription on the front flyleaf reads, "Mr. John Bishop's Boo," and his name is again carefully written on the title page. Damped at the bottom corner of the front flyleaf and title page, and this disappears about page 20. Text is foxed throughout. A scarce work of essays of history and opinion, many decidedly political or patriotic. Two quotes on the title page are by Thomas Jefferson and Benjamin Franklin. Christopher Manwaring (1774-1832) was born in New London, Connecticut and lived much of his life there.
