Full stamped leather, all edges marbled, endpapers marbled, gilt imprinting at spine and cover, gilt name of E. Frank Knox centered on back cover. 9 1/2" x 6 1/8", 635 pp + 1 pp ads. Illustrated with numerous engravings from original designs by Granville Perkins, C.G. Bush, O.C. Darley, and a number of others. Light to moderate scuffing to leather at edges of boards and hinges, else leather binding is quite nice and sharp. Some weakening to front hinge, but still very firmly bound. Very Good or a bit better. Interesting American historical treatise by Richardson, rich in both text and illustration, covering the time of Columbus through about 1872.
