Description:
London: John Murray, 1835. Complete in ten volumes. The second Croker edition. The first 8 volumes are 1835 printings; volumes 9 and ten are from 1839. The ten volumes are uniformly bound in a contemporary full light brown leather. In 1831 Murray published a 5-volume edition that included for the first time the additions and notes of Coker. The poorly edited edition was panned by critics (notably, Macaulay); so the publisher rushed to re-edit the text and published this set in 1835 and 1839. The second edition not only was better edited, but it also contained additional illustrations not found in the first edition. The attractive set is in about very good condition: each volume is clean and tight, with some edgewear; most volumes have waterstains on covers--see the attached images for an example of the typical stain.. The second Croker Edition. Hardcover. Very Good-. 16mo - over 5¾" - 6¾" tall. Book.

Description:
New York: Printed for Samuel Campbell by D. And G. Bruce, 1809. First New York edition. 12mo. viii, 344 pages. This book by Scottish-born Anne MacVicar Grant (1755-1838) includes both her recollections of her childhood (ages 3 through 13) years that she lived with her parents in colonial Claverack and Oswego, New York, and her memoir of Madam Catalina Schuyler with whom she lived in Albany. Anne's father Duncan MacVicar was an officer in the British army who had been posted to "the colonies" during the years leading up to what was to become the American Revolution. The family's trip back to Scotland in 1868 was meant to be temporary, but Duncan's pro-British sentiments led him to make it permanent. Anne's portrayal of New York pre-revolutionary colonial life between 1758 and 1768 was admired by both Sir Walter Scott and Robert Southey. Originally published in London in 1808, this New York edition was preceded by a 2-volume Boston printing, also published in 1809. Howes, U.S.iana G303;…
