About This Item
Columbus (OH): [self-published], 1833. First Edition. Hardcover. Good +. Octavo, 408pp., illustrated with ten plates (plus inset illustrations). A good or better copy in modern black buckram with cloth endpapers and gilt-stamped morocco spine label. Some internal foxing, and there are two large and adequate (though not expert) paper repairs (to the title leaf and p. 185). Plates mostly in very good condition, though two of the folding plates have some shallow chipping to extremities, and one folding plate has a 3-inch closed tear at one fold. Note that, as in the Morgan copy, plate 8 is mislabled as [another] plate 5, but is in fact plate 8, and inserted at the relevant part of the printed text. Solid reading/reference copy of this sweeping work by the rather self-important archaeologist and politician. Howes A380; American Imprints 17449; Sabin 2336; Thomson 52.

About Cleveland Book Company
We are proud members of the ABAA.
As a small, independent bookseller in Cleveland, Ohio, I deal in general used, rare, and antiquarian books, autographs, manuscripts, pamphlets, and personal and family papers in all subjects. My family has been in the antiquarian book business since 1971. Are you moving, downsizing, or doing some spring cleaning? Did you inherit or otherwise come into some old books? Or, maybe you've collected modern novels from the last thirty or fifty years. No matter what kinds of books you have, we'd love to take a look at them! We travel throughout Ohio, western Pennsylvania and New York, southern Michigan, and eastern Indiana, and will travel farther in some cases to look at whole libraries or even just a few particularly interesting books. Give us a call at (216) 352-3940 and we can talk more about the kinds of books you have.
