Report includes sub-reports by various authors including 1)"Report of the Natural History of the Country Passed Over by the Exploring Expedition Under the Command of Brevet Captain L. Sitgreaves, U.

Includes a list of illustrations of landscapes, mammals, birds, reptiles, fishes, plants, and maps; as well as a table of contents at the end of the report and index of scientific names. At the front, this volume includes a 31-page "Index to Executive Documents Printed by Order of The Senate of the United States, Second Session, Thirty-Second Congress, 1852-'53 in Eleven Volumes". Of those eleven volumes, this copy is listed as being Volume 10, Executive Document No. 59 within that index. 1-31, [3], 4-198, 78 plates (all present), and large fold out map. Includes Plate XXI which is not included on the list of illustrations. CONDITION: Overall moderate wear. Front joint is cracked, yet hinges are still strong and boards are well affixed. Binding is sound. Significantly foxed within the text, yet plates are much less affected and are magnificent. Ex-library with library stamps from "The Reynolds Library, Manchester" within the introductory pages and pastedowns. No ex-library mark on the spine. All plates are present. A very nice, fascinating copy. Full refund if not satisfied.

Description de la boutique

Since 2005, Shelley and Son Books has been passionate about books, and preserving their importance for current and future generations. We believe that virtue and beauty have a close relationship. By reading we gain knowledge. In knowledge we find things that inform our choices and beliefs. Therefore, as booksellers, we see that books have an aesthetic value and a heuristic value. We specialize in The Inklings, primarily "The Seven'": C. S. Lewis, J. R. R. Tolkien, Dorothy Sayers, G. K. Chesterton, George MacDonald, Owen Barfield and Charles Williams. A sub-specialty is our significant collection of Christian Theology. But you'll also find works across the centuries, first editions, signed copies, and even modern books, too, across a broad selection of categories and genres. Customer service is of utmost importance to us, and our friendly staff is always happy to help. We assure our clients books of quality, as each copy is carefully graded and shipped with care. Located in the beautiful mountains of Western North Carolina, we can be found on Main Street in Hendersonville, North Carolina, (just south of Asheville). We are primarily an online bookstore, but we invite you to make an appointment for an on-site visit! Shelley and Son Books is owned by Stan Shelley.
