About This Item
NEW YORK: WILEY AND PUTNAM, 1846 Book. Very Good (-) Book. Half leather & Marbled Boards. First Or First Thus Edition. 12mo - over 6¾ - 7¾" tall. Dark green leather and a gilt title (plus VOL. I.) over a dark brown swatch at the spine with four raised bands and brown marbled boards. Secure binding with a moderately rubbed cover, few tiny nicks to the extremities, and clean pages with negligible foxing. Original owner cursive names at the front/rear endpaper. Full-page illustrations. This is Volume I (only). Rare! According to Wikipedia, George Palmer Putnam dissolved his publishing relationship with John Wiley in 1848. The Preface page to this book has a date of Twenty-fourth March, 1848, so it must have been shortly after if this was the case? About 7-3/8 x 5 with 485 pages..
