2 volumes. First Octavo Edition, Second Edition overall, essentially the same as the first edition but for size and the inclusion of the Errata. Published in the same year as the first edition. A copy with pleasing provenance having once been owned by Francis Weld Peabody (1881?1927) the important American physician born November 24, 1881, in Cambridge, Massachusetts. He was known for his research into poliomyelitis and typhoid, and celebrated as a teacher at Harvard Medical School Illustrated and embellished with sixteen folding plates, including 5 fine maps or plans, one of which is a large folding map of the United States coloured by hand in outline, and eleven other finely engraved views. 8vo, contemporary three-quarter calf over marbled paper covered boards, the spine panels lettered and numbered in gilt with bands separating compartments. xxiii, [1], 427; xii, 376 pp. A handsome copy of this important and impressive work on America. The text-block very clean and unpressed, only slightly mellowed, the folding plates and maps all in good order, some rubbing to the bindings and some age evidence, upper board to Vol. I detached but easily restored.
