About This Item
New York: (No publisher), 1875. Cloth. Very Good +. INSCRIBED ON THE FRONT PASTEDOWN BY DAVID A. MILLS, THE PRESIDING JUDGE IN THE CASE, WHO HERE WROTE "Summary of All the Proceedings in the Case of Phelps, Dodge & Co.", which closes out the text. A very solid copy to boot of the 1875 1st edition, in its original russet cloth. Tight and VG+, with bright, unflecked gilt-titling along the spine. Just a touch of bubbling at the front panel, very light spotting to the endsheets and pastedowns. Octavo, "An Abstract of So Much of the Proceedings and Investigations of the 43rd Congress (1st Session), in Relation to 'Moieties and Customs Revenue Laws', as Pertain to and Further Illustrate the Controversy Between the United States Government and the Firm of Phelps, Dodge & Co." (from the title page).
