Description:
47th Congress, 1st Session. House of Representatives. Document No. 203, octavo, pp. 97. Removed from a bound volume. Of additional interest to the title is the Jefferson Davis-authored paragraph on page 17. As many scholars and collectors will know, these types of documents are on a low quality paper that crumbles occasionally, sometimes seemingly at the touch. This Acceptable ensample of an uncommon Florida-related item is no exception, with its ragged spine and occasional perimeter nick or slit. It is recommended that the pamphlet be kept in the clear protective display sleeve with white cardstock backing board that we supply.
