Good plus. According to BAL, relying on a Publisher's Weekly article, "the map was issued with cloth-bound copies only; this may be an error since all copies, whether in cloth or in paper, have the 'With Map' statement." Howes says the map was "not issued in all copies." This is BAL's third printing, State B, of the first edition, with State B of the binding. BAL lists its detailed bibliographic analysis with the works of George Washington Cable, whose letter recommending the book is printed after the Introduction. The book "contains original accounts of the traditions, historical legends and remarkable localities of the Creole city, contributed by Hearn [who it is thought edited the volume], Judge Alexander Walker, and others" [American Art Association Catalogue].
