Walsh, Robert

Verlag: John Miller, London, 1819

lvi,505pp. plus [2]pp. of advertisements. Original paper boards. Boards quite worn, soiled, and scuffed; front board nearly detached. Very clean and fresh internally. Untrimmed and unopened. In a cloth chemise and half morocco and cloth slipcase, spine gilt. First British edition, published the same year as the Philadelphia first edition. The Philadelphia edition is a rather common book - this London edition is far scarcer, likely because of its overwhelmingly negative reception when published there. The work covers a wide variety of topics, including early colonial history, relations with Indians, and slavery. Great Britain is often held to be responsible for most of the ills incurred. Walsh was a journalist and the last editor of the AMERICAN REGISTER. The present work "brought congratulatory notes from Jefferson, John Adams, and John Quincy Adams.but occasioned denunciatory notices in British publications" - DAB. HOWES W67. SABIN 101158.
