Artikelbeschreibung vom Verkäufer

This 1845 printing is the "Fourth Edition Revised and Corrected, from the Eighth Paris Edition." Original blindstamped dark brown boards, while well worn to corners, remain well attached. However, 2/5ths of the spine covering ("backstrip") is missing, and what remains -- including the gilt author and title, and half the eagle -- was "positioned" for our scan but is actually "loose" -- this copy clearly requires a new spine covering, to which this original gilt title and author name could then presumably be "laid down." Although the text is never obscured or rendered hard to read, the interior text pages show considerable foxing to their edges, occasionally extending onto the text itself. This was the copy of T.L. Chadbourne, who (in addition to writing his name in pencil to original yellow FFE) has stamped "Chadbourne." in ink, now browned, to bottom of title page. T.L. Chadbourne was likely Thomas Lincoln Chadbourne, an American lawyer who played a significant role in establishing multinational corporations during the 1920s and was involved in efforts to restore commodity prices after the Great Depression. He was the founder of the law firm Chadbourne & Parke, which was established in New York City in 1902. However, "T.L. Chadbourne" was also the name of the lieutenant after whom Fort Chadbourne, a United States Army reservation established in Texas in 1852, was named. The fort was established to protect from the Apache the western frontier and the Butterfield Overland Mail route. Lieutenant T.L. Chadbourne was killed in the Battle of Resaca de la Palma, the 1846 battle in which Gen. Zachary Taylor threw the larger Mexican army out of Texas. Laid in to this copy, oddly enough, is a 1953 Walter Lippmann column from the New York Herald Tribune, on the coronation of Queen Elizabeth II. 494 pp. including the Appendices. As with all our items priced higher than $90, this item will be shipped "signature required." This book now reduced from $160.
