Artikelbeschreibung vom Verkäufer

Two volumes, bound as one. Very Scarce First Edition, date of imprint from Adams./ Cf. Sabin 51505-51507. With the famous collection of 23 "much sought" after engraved portraits of important participants on both sides of the conflict (10 American and 13 British)and with a folding plan of Boston and Charlestown on which can be seen the placement of British and American troops for the Battle of Bunker Hill. 8vo, rare in contemporarily binding, being marbled boards backed in brown calf, the spine with blind-ruled raised bands and a single red morocco label gilt lettered and tooled. 573, 576 pp. A very well preserved text, the important 23 engraved portraits all in fine order, academic notations and markings in a very early (likely 18th century) hand are common throughout the first 90 or pages and then far more scarce throughout, they appear editorial in nature, the rare contemporary binding still strong and usable and completely authentic though worn and mellowed, a simple binding which also attests to early academic ownership.
