About This Item
New York: J. Seymour, 1832. First Edition. Hardcover. Very good +. Small octavo, 396pp., illustrated, plus advertisements. A nice, clean example in the publisher's printed boards with brown morocco spine. Some scuffing to edges, shallow insect damage at the frontispiece (not affecting the image), and the hinges a bit weak, but still intact. A solid, clean, original copy, with a few contemporary ownership markings, overall very good or better. Text and illustrations particularly clean, including the famed train plate, inserted at pp. 158-9. Includes an early 20th-century 1/2 buckram and brown cloth clamshell box, and an old clipping from a Maggs catalogue.

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.
