Beschreibung

First one-volume edition with "Preface to the One-Volume Edition," by Henry Steele Commager; 1347 p., clean and unmarked anywhere; beautiful end pages showing "Some Uniforms of American Soldiers in the Revolution;" "32 pages of illustrations and maps;" binding tight; interior flawless except for very small open tear at lower margin of one of the blank back end pages; boards very fine, well protected by glossy d.j. with minimal edge wear but small area is faintly blistered as from heat(?) and small closed tear at upper margin of rear panel. Fascinating reference, with many lesser known documents as well as the more famous--"The Dutch Know Nothing of the American Cause" by John Adams; "Quakers Protest the Illiberality of Massachusetts," "To Vindicate Slavery Is to Condemn the American Cause," by Robert Pleasants, "A Plea for American Prisoners in England," by Benjamin Franklin, and many others.
