Description

8vo. Orig cloth gilt. With 14 plates. First complete translation of a classic natural history/travel book originally published in Italy in 1790; a "rare systematic compendium of information drawn from both observation and secondary sources on the topography, history, institutions, agriculture, and industry of the individual states from Massachusetts to Georgia".
