Hardcover. Condición: Very Good. Produced under an act of Congress, "for the encouragement of learning . . ." the book bears at the end a list of subscribers including Thomas Jefferson, President [3 copies]; James Madison, Secty of State [2 copies]; Aaron Burr, Vice President [1 copy]; and many members of Congress. Bound in original tree sheep, 204, [4] pages, dark red leather spine label lettered and decorated in gilt; edge and corner wear, covers attached to spine with old brown cloth tape now partially detached; piece cut from upper blank margin of title page [presumably to remove an owner's name] taking the work "The" before "American Gardener"; ownership in pencil on pastedown "T [or J] Carney"; there are marginal dampstains on the last 2 leaves. Presumably a skillful restorer could save the original binding, which is all present.
