VOLUME II ONLY of a thirteen volume set. Hardcover: H 21.25cm x L 13.5cm. Full leather binding; front board detached but rear board still fairly firm despite some slender splitting at rear joint; staining and rubbing to boards with surface losses and edges worn particularly at corners; surface abrasions to spine with gilt stamping dulled; spine's maroon title label has some edge-loss but retains reasonably bright gilt lettering (binding does seem more early 19th century American than British). Personal bookplate "William T. Barry, | [No. 329] | Lexington, K." affixed to front pastedown ("329" handwritten in antiquarian ink likely as a personal library volume#); some foxing/toning throughout but none too obtrusive; several creased corners; old ink and pencil marks on rear pastedown. Text block is firm. Laid-in at title page is small toned card with typewritten note indicating book was "Donated by Judge J.I. Sturdivant." - card is undated but from paper and general appearance likely circa 1930-1950. Book now presented in a trimmed clear Dura-Lar (polyester film) sheet forming a dj which aids in securing the detached front board and modestly enhances shelf presence. Acquired from a Columbus, Mississippi estate which, in turn, seems to have received the book from Lowndes County, Mississippi attorney and jurist Jennings Inge Sturdivant (1865-1939) whose father had Kentucky roots but whose connection to the Barry bookplate eluded cursory research. The original owner was likely Lexington, Kentucky resident William Taylor Barry (1784-1835) who held several state and federal government offices including U.S. Representative from Kentucky 5th District (1810 to 1811), U.S. Senator from Kentucky (1814 to 1816), Lieutenant Governor of Kentucky (1820 to 1824), and U.S. Postmaster General from 1829 to 1835.…
