London: Trelawney Saunders, 1850. Hard Cover. Very Good binding. Octavo. xii 164 pp., frontis, 2 plates. First edition. In publisher's blue, embossed cloth; a separately published folding map to accompany this volume is not present and is itself fairly uncommon, otherwise all plates are present. Binding is a trifle shelfworn and has a notable forward lean; corners and spine ends softened; very sensitive conservation work to some to some weak spots in the cloth; additionally, the a few preliminary leaves have been sympathetically reattached and the front hinge mended; all in all, some very discreet and professional work. Contents are largely clean but for some light foxing to the three engravings; a few leaves have been roughly or carelessly opened leaving some tears in the margin. Previous ownership stamp of 20th century American archaeologist Harry Evelyn Dorr Pollock on the front free endpaper; Edmonds & Remnants, London binder's ticket on the rear pastedown. Uncommon. Sabin 2771.

Description:
As the Library of Congress listing explains: "John Baily was an Englishman who lived for many years in Central America. He was employed in 1837-38 by the government of Nicaragua to survey a potential canal route from the Caribbean Sea to the Pacific Ocean. In 1850 Baily published this book and a separate map of Central America that showed four proposed routes for an isthmian canal ... The chapter devoted to Nicaragua is by far the longest and contains a detailed discussion of the proposed route for an inter-oceanic canal through the country." This offering is for the book only. It does NOT include the map, which was published separately. The book does include all three "views" of various places in Central America.
