Decorative gilt tooling remains bright and clean. Spines exhibit minor loss at heads and tails, remain attractive despite this. Bookplate of Aaron O. Shuff on front pastedown of volume one serial No. 286. Some dampness staining in the beginning signature of volume one. Light offsetting from plates, tissue guards intact. Interiors good with minor toning. Free of too much foxing. Free of known marginalia. Miss Eliza Biskham Presented by Miss Maria Percival 21, Oct. 1824 on old hand manuscript on title pages. Bindings tight and intact. Irregular bleached staining to fore-edges. Please see photos. A distinguished edition of Montgomery, a poet of great interest to Americanists and historians of abolition. The early owner of this set, Aaron O. Shuff, ran the Steamboat Hotel near the wharf in Bloomsbury (South Trenton), on the Delaware River in the early 1820's, and beyond. Even with its defects, this is a handsome little set. Seller Inventory # COLL1831BDEN
