New Haven, CT: Howe & Spalding, 1823. Hardcover . Used - very good/No Jacket. 8vo. Pale blue paper covered boards spotted and stained with orange (painted?) spine. White paper title on spine. Rebound as evidenced by spine and tasteful new pastedown and endpapers, though boards probably original. Deckled edges. Lectures to a young man on right action (virtue), the importance of the study of words (philology) and their proper use, as well as a history of the Republic. A very clean example, albeit rebacked.
