About This Item

Philadelphia, PA, Dauphin and Susquehanna Coal Company, 1840. Two papers in one. 8vo (22.5 x 14.5 cm). 113, 74 pp.; two large (one very large) coloured geological maps, two folded sheets with coloured profiles. Later half calf over blue boards. Spine with four raised bands and gilt title. A very detailed report by the American geographer and geologist Richard Cowling Taylor (1789-1851) with many tables, and descriptions of ore samples, but also with notes on the geology and geography. The maps are very good; one is surprisingly large. Some of its folds are split, but otherwise the maps are fine, the whole book is clean, unmarked, and well-bound. A very good copy. Ward and Carozzi, 2152.
