About This Item
Springfield, Illinois: E.L. Merritt & Brother, 1870. First Edition. Hardcover. Fair. 4to 11" - 13" tall. A First Edition, Debates and Proceedings of the Constitutional Convention of the State of Illinois, convened at the City of Springfield, Tuesday, December 13, 1869, Volume I, having been recorded by the stenographers Ely, Burnham and Bartlett. Marbled paper over boards, brown cloth tips-backed, original boards present but scuffed and worn and with backstrip missing. Some predictable waffling to text-block, but with signs of neither mildew nor odor. Some soiling to and foxing of edges and endpapers, else clean and unmarked. Perfect candidate for rebinding. Triple-column text makes for easy reading. An indispensable item for students of Illinois. 1,076 pp.Member, I.O.B.A., C.B.A., and adherent to the highest ethical standards. Additional postage may be required for oversize or especially heavy volumes, and for sets.
