Hardcover. Condition: Good. 1st Edition. Inscribed by author on flyleaf. Ex-library. Brown leather-patterned cloth with gilt lettering. Call number painted on spine; cloth is surface worn, small holes along hinges of spine, corners exposed. Inner hinges good. Library bookplate, blind stamp on title page; a few minor pencil marks… and minor spots of soiling, else generally clean. 11 historic photos and portraits on plates, including frontispiece portrait of author. 98 pages. Genealogy and biographical sketches, primarily, of the ancestors of Amasa Abraham Marks (1825-1905), and also those --somewhat less extensively-- of his wife Lucy Ann Platt (1824-1888). The Marks patrilineal line in America is traced back to Mordecai Marks of London who came to the Colony of Connecticut in the mid-1720s and settled in Derby. Most of the families had residence or roots in either the New Haven Colony or the Colony of Connecticut. Signed by Author(s).
