Description

First Edition, Leather Binding

Notable for its sympathetic treatment and sometimes considered the first such by a non Jewish individual. First thus, the first U.K edition of this work. Published five years after the US first edition of 1812. Both UK and US editions are scarce. Complete in one volume. The author, Hannah Adams, wrote several works on comparative religion and early U.S history. She was the first United States woman to work professionally as an author. The sponsorship of two Boston intellectuals, William Shaw and Joseph Stevens Buckminster aided her to prepare this work.

Condition

In a full calf binding with gilt stamping to the spine. Externally, generally smart with slight rubbing to the joints and to the extremities. Further areas of rubbing to the spine, mostly to the raised bands and to the head and tail. Patches of rubbing to the front board, lighter to the rear board. Prior owner's inscription dated 1907 to the front pastedown. Internally, firmly bound. Pages are generally bright. Spotting to the endpapers and the occasional light spot throughout.

Overall: Very Good
