About This Item

Despite being credited as authored by "An Amateur", this was actually written by James Kirke Paulding, one of the pioneers of American literature.

Pages are quite wavy. Size: 8mo - over 7 3/4" - 9 3/4" tall. 292 pp. Pages are yellowed, and there are chips out of about 5 pages, but those chips only cause about 5 words to be unreadable.

Cover has been replaced, and there is some wear at the base of the spine and the corners are bumped, but otherwise, the cover is in Very Good condition. Quantity Available: 1.
