by Merritt, Timothy, & Rev. Wilbur Fisk
New York: J. Emory and B. Waugh at the Conference Office, 1829. First edition, 12mo, pp. 242; contemporary full sheep, red morocco label on spine; one inch of the upper joint is quite chaffed affecting the edge of the label, some dampstaining to the last half of the text block, but in all a very good, sound copy with unusual provenance markings: the front free flyleaf bears the manuscript notation of the "Home Library / Presented by Edward "Harry Chapman, / Santa Fe No. 405." The front pastedown shows two separate small, purple rubberstamps, one noting the accession number and shelf number, and another at the bottom reading "Collected by B. F. Swigart." (truncated)
