A propos de cet article

Philadelphia: Lea and Blanchard , 1846. PHOTOS UPON REQUEST. 3 volumes, complete. Very Good condition. Bound in the publisher's brown cloth, lettered in shiny gold on the spine. All gilt is as bright and shiny as new. A very nice set -- solid, clean, square, and tight. Inner hinges are perfect. Corners are NOT bumped. Moderate rubbing/fraying to spine ends. Previous owner's name. A few small brown speckles (foxing) on the endpapers. Text pages are clean and crisp with little or no foxing. NO underlining. NO highlighting. NO margin notes. This 1846 edition is largely a reprint of the edition first published in 1837 (which was copyright 1836). The only apparent change here is a 24-page addition to vol. 3, entitled: SUPPLEMENT TO THE ENCYCLOPAEDIA OF GEOGRAPHY CONTAINING STATISTICAL AND OTHER MATTER, BRINGING DOWN THE WORK TO THE YEAR 1842." Among other things, the supplement includes county-by-county population records from the 1840 census, plus updated statistics on agriculture, steam power, imports/exports, etc. Based on paginations found in Sabin, this supplement was probably first published in 1843. The set is well-illustrated with 82 maps and about 1,100 other engravings on wood. There are sections on astronomy by William Wallace, botany by William Jackson Hooker, geology by Robert Jameson, and zoology by William Swainson. Volume III has a nice 2-page multi-color steel-engraved map of the U.S. It was drawn by J. Drayten after Tanner, and features neatly hand-colored borders around each state and territory. Index + Index to Supplement. Subtitle: "Comprising a Complete Description of the Earth, Physical, Statistical, Civil, and Political; Exhibiting Its Relation to the Heavenly Bodies, Its Physical Structure, The Natural History of Each Country, and the Industry, Commerce, Political Institutions, and Civil and Social State of All Nations." Oversize Hardcover. This heavy 3 volume set will require extra postage for Priority and International shipments. But for media mail, you pay only our standard charge for 1 volume and we ship the other 2 volumes at no extra cost. Sabin 51499. New Edition, with Supplement. Oversize Hardcover (heavy). Very Good condition. Illus. by Drayten, J (hand-colored steel-engraved map of the U.S.). 8vo. 597 + 592 + 648 pages. Great Packaging, Fast Shipping.…

Description de la boutique

About Books [Genny and Michael Winne, proprietors, formerly of Parsippany, New Jersey) has been selling rare and out of print books since 1985. Besides book fairs and mail order catalogue, long-time collectors and dealers will remember our lengthy For Sale ads in the Antiquarian Bookman and similar magazines. Our inventory of more than 40,000 volumes is especially strong in the specialities listed, but contains fine books in a variety of other fields as well. Because most of our books are stored in protective boxes, rather than on shelves, they cannot be viewed as a whole. If you want to examine specific titles, please provide 24 hours notice and we will make them available for your inspection. Phone calls to (702) 750-2722 are welcome, but please only between the hours of 8am and 10pm, west coast time. Our phone is a landline that cannot receive texts.…
