New York: D. Appleton & Co, 1839. Third Edition. Hardcover. Good. Quarto, 176pp., illustrated with 48 plates (included in the pagination). A good copy only in contemporary 3/4 brown calf and brown ribbed cloth. General rubbing to extremities, foxed and dampstained internally, but complete and structurally sound. A worn, but not abused copy of this rare survey of contemporary architecture in the first half of the 19th century. All editions are scarce in commerce, and we find just a few dealer offerings or auction appearances in the last century.

Blue boards with worn leather tips, black tape spine. 80 pp., followed by 48 bw plates, each with preceding text page.
