Nathaniel Balch, Jr, Boston, 1825. Edition Unstated. Hardcover. Fair Condition/No Dust Jacket. Size: 16mo. Text body is clean, and free from previous owner annotation, underlining and highlighting. Binding is tight. A rebound copy with a tan cloth spine and tan paper over boards, title written in ink on front cover, frontispiece engraving, 213 pages, iii, perhaps the second American Edition. This copy is notable for two things: it has the bookplate of Charles E. Goodspeed on the front paste down, and was once owned by Charles W Pilgrim (who signed and dated 1916 on the front flyleaf). Goodspeed was an author, publisher, and bookstore owner, whose bookplate (Ex Libris: Charles E. Goodspeed) has the scene of the Boston massacre as depicted by Paul Revere. View is accompanied by the imprint, "Engraved printed & sold by Paul Revere" and the plate is signed "S. L. S. May 1904" within the small urn at the top of the plate. Previous owner Dr. Charles W. Pilgrim, was the former New York State Commissioner of Mental Health in the early 1900's, and the person for whom the Pilgrim State Hospital (a psychiatric hospital, the largest hospital of any type in the world) was named. Corners bumped with considerable wear to the front corners, wear along all edges, spine frayed a bit at ends, interior pages toned with some very occasional light foxing. Quantity Available: 1. Category: Biography & Autobiography; Psychology & Psychiatry. Inventory No: 010000. .
