About This Item
London: E. & F. Spon, 1`878. First edition. Rebound in bright green hardcover . Fine. A pamphlet published for the Entlish commiitee of holders of Alabama 8% gold, including a map of the Alabama Great Southern Railroad. This was a promotional pamphlet describing the state's economy, transsportation, government, finances, and so forth. It has been identified as one of the rarest of its type. This copy is ex-library, although I can't identify the library, which classified it as F326.C8 and also has "London 1878" on the spine of the hardcover binding.
As rebound, it is slightly cocked and the front cover is loose from the rest of the pamphlet. The foldout map, which is partly colored, in in excellent condition as are all the pages and plain back cover.
