Beschreibung
Beschreibung:
61pp. plus [1]p. of errata. Modern marbled wrappers. Old ink pagination numbers on upper corner of recto of leaves, from its previous position in a sammelband. Contemporary manuscript note on titlepage attributing authorship to Turner Camac. Very good. Lacks the map. One of the earliest American works entirely devoted to canals. The author strongly advocates the advancement of navigable communication between the states in the Northeast, South, and Midwest, with emphasis on Pennsylvania, but citing New York, Virginia, Louisiana, Ohio, etc. He lists the advantages for trade in manufactured and agricultural goods. Howes notes that this work is also ascribed to Turner Camac, and the NUC says it was "principally extracted" from Camac's INLAND NAVIGATION IN IRELAND and adapted by William Blodgett for American waterways. HOWES B539. SABIN 5959. SHAW & SHOEMAKER 5959. RINK 4004. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers WRCAM23001
