Descripción

First edition, 8vo (7.75 in x 5.25 in), pp. (4), 5-316, extra-illustrated with 28 engraved plates professionally mounted and bound in. His recollections are a rare, varied account of events recorded in his Diary (kept from 1797 to 1856) and his Passages from the Notebooks (kept from 1807 to 1841), both including earlier and later observations and opinions. His Recollections is not an autobiography though it unfolds with the progress of his life of 92 years. His earlier 1818 work on Pennsylvania's positional advantage for western trade is Howes B-742. This title is not in Howes. A scarce firsthand work of importance perhaps often overlooked. Later gilt lettered brown cloth when extra-illustrated, top edges gilt. Fine clean bright copy unique for it's extra illustrations. H 10404 All Items Are Sent Insured. Insurance charges are included in the Shipping & Handling Charges.
