About This Item
Boston: Israel S. Boyd and William White, 1841. Fourteenth Edition. Recently rebacked in dark brown leather to compliment the original leather covered boards with bright gilt text and decorative rules on the spine and new marbled end sheets. A small octavo measuring 7 5/8" by 4 3/4". The pages of the text rather uniformly lightly foxed throughout. The preliminaries and end sheets show the greatest foxing and there is an early prior owner's name written on the third free end page. Unpaginated followed by a 16 page appendix (index). The full title reads: "The New England Gazetteer; Containing Descriptions Of All The States, Counties And Towns in New England: Also descriptions of the Principal Mountains, Rivers, Lakes, Capes, Bays, Harbors, Islands, and Fashionable Resorts Within That Territory Alphabetically Arranged." Considered by Howes to be a "mildly scarce" title. (Howes, H-354)
