Contemporary tree calf, spines gilt, leather labels. Ownership attribution to the Kelso Library in manuscript at head of each titlepage. Minor expert reinforcement to verso of folding map. Internally clean. Very good. In a half morocco box. The first British edition of Long, issued the same year as the American, with a few paragraphs of text not in the latter, and with a different set of plates than in the American edition. The map in this edition combines the eastern and western sections of that of the American edition, but is otherwise identical. It locates many of the rivers on the Great Plains, but badly muddles some headwaters. With Pike and Lewis and Clark, one of the three basic western exploring expeditions of the early period. The British edition is a more handsome example of book production than the American. WAGNER-CAMP 25:2. FIELD 948. ABBEY 650. HOWES J41, "b." STREETER SALE 1784. WHEAT TRANSMISSISSIPPI 353.

Three volumes bound into one, 8vo. half-calf & marbled boards. Brown coated end papers. Spine designed and lettered in gilt. Bound without half-titles or ads. Eight aquatint plates (three are frontispieces, the other five are bound together at the beginning of Volume One, following the Contents pages), and two folding maps. None of the plates are colored in this copy. Scattered foxing and some offsetting of plates, a closed tear along the inner edge of the large folding map, but clean and very good. Some uneven sunning of the spine, in general quite an attractive copy. An important account of this expedition into the trans-Mississippi West, with the large "Map of the Country drained by the Mississippi" by Stephen Long. The American edition was published by Carey in 1822-23 (two text volumes and an atlas volume). Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 57409
