Beschreibung

Octavo, 77pp. Starting on page [3], it's possible that this copy is lacking a preliminary leaf, thus a very good example at best in the publisher's sewn binding. Barely legible contemporary notation on the rear blank leaf, and an old library stamp on the front leaf. Some foxing, but nothing disfiguring. An exceedingly scarce and lengthy discussion of the conduct of controversial General James Wilkinson, who was at this time the Governor of the newly purchased Louisiana Territory. Two holdings (LOC, AAS) are noted, and curiously both seem to lack a preliminary leaf, as ours does, leading to the possible conclusion that the text was issued without one. Without other institutional holdings to go on, and no major reference listings, we are somewhat perplexed. Not in Howes or Sabin. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 4109
