Beschreibung

Charles C. Little and James Brown / John Peterham, 1849; same date on title and copyright pages; xxiv, 360pp. / xvi, 392pp. First edition of this early Little Brown imprint. From the collection of Julia F. Hamilton, wife of Charles A. Hamilton, grandson of President Alexander Hamilton, with her signature in both volumes. Bindings remains sturdy and fully intact; foxing throughout pages, text remains free of markings; tooled brown cloth boards worn at edges and corners, chipped at spine ends; clear scotch tape over portions of both spines, presumably to hold back-strip in place; gilt titling on spines is dulled but otherwise clearly legible. The last 18 years of (Unitarian) Rev. Colman's life were devoted to his life long study of the field of agriculture. His contributions were considered a major contribution to American agriculture, particularly his published observations on European practices ("European Agriculture and Rural Economy"). This more personal compilation from his travels, was his last work. Due to the size/weight of this set extra charges may apply for international shipping.
