About This Item
New York & Montreal: D. & J. Sadlier & Co., 1885. Daniel William Cahill (1796-1864), a noted Irish-American educator and lecturer. An ordained Roman Catholic, he strongly opposed the established Church of Ireland. He raised vast sums of money that implemented his good works. This is a Very Good Plus to Near Fine copy of the First American Edition, a handsome production typical in the Irish diaspora. Fancy Victorian decorative binding; brown cloth, fancy blindstampings filled with black and gilt. Large octavo in size, with a clean text; 511 pages. Light rubbing and bumping. The pages are unfoxed, but Sadlier evidently put all the production cost into the binding, not the quality of paper; it is very soft and is tanning more than expected. Still, one will purchase this volume for its attractive binding and historical importance. Laid-in is a page from another book which appears to be a bibliography of Irish history; Quercus has been unable to identify the specific original work, but must have been definitive. Bookplate on front paste-down and a modern (dated 1972) inscription on the FFEP. Size: 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. First Edition.. Decorative Cloth. Very Good Plus/No Jacket. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall.
