New York: Hirk & Mercein, 1819. 1/4 leather. Very Good. The 1819 1st edition of this impressive, detailed accounting of a 4 1/2 month tour from New York City up thru Detroit and the "Michigan Territoty". Includes the 3 original fold-out maps (as called for) and the publisher's original tipped-in errata slip. Solid and VG- in the publisher's 1/4 calf over marbled boards, with forgivable wear at the tips and spine ends, and light foxing and offsetting intermittently thru the text. The front board was re-attached at some point (It's now very sturdy) and the front inner hige shows vintage, crude tape as reinforcement. Octavo, "The tour contains notices of what fell under the author's observation concerning the natural history and geography of the region over which his travels extended, with brief remarks upon such remarkable events and characters as have contributed to give interest to different places"
