A propos de cet article

Full title - AMERICAN MILITARY BIOGRAPHY; CONTAINING THE LIVES AND CHARACTERS OF THE OFFICERS OF THE REVOLUTION, WHO WERE MOST DISTINGUISHED IN ACHIEVING OUR NATIONAL INDEPENDENCE. ALSO, THE LIFE OF GILBERT MOTIER LA FAYETTE, MAJOR-GENERAL IN THE CONTINENTAL ARMY-MARSHAL OF FRANCE, AND COMMANDER-IN-CHIEF OF THE NATIONAL GUARDS. PUBLISHED FOR SUBSCRIBERS. i-xxxii, 33-615, [1] pages. Hardcover: H 22.75cm x L 14cm. Contemporary full leather binding; staining, scuffing, and worn corners to slightly bowed boards which are decorated with gilt borders; front joint splitting with front board somewhat tenuous; muted gilt tooling to spine with gilt lettered title at center; spine heel chipped. Marbled endpapers. Foldout frontispiece lacking. Pencil and modern ballpoint ink writing on ffep verso and on opposing title page; title leaf (pages i-ii) and pages iii-iv missing sections of top margins so as to remove past owner's antiquarian signatures; varied foxing/toning to interior leaves with dampstains to initial and rear leaves; occasional margin chips to leaves as well as scattered soiling and pencil marks; remnant slender stub evidencing missing rear flyleaf. Text block remains firm. Else a good antiquarian copy. Features an essay "A Summary View of the Causes which led to the American Revolution" (pages iii-xxxii) followed by biographies of fifty-six American Revolutionary War era figures. No table of contents listing book's illustrations but LoC catalog copy calls for five plates - so with aforementioned missing foldout frontis book is otherwise correct with four unpaged b/w plates present and bound-in facing page xxv, 253 (tear), 344 (bottom margin chip), 353 (deep margin chip and tear). AMERICAN MILITARY BIOGRAPHY was issued in several editions/imprints with OCLC citing the first being 1825 and later editions issued in 1829, 1830, 1831, and 1832. The title page of this 1830 Cincinnati imprint does not specify an author but Amos Blanchard, editor of the Cincinnati Journal, is credited as the author for two 1832 Cincinnati editions, one published by A. Salisbury and the other by Robinson and Fairbank. {Antiq-Shelf#2}.…
