Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. No Jacket. A signed limited 1935 Press of the Pioneers edition (one of 750 copies), retaining a striking engraved pictorial library bookplate from the Annapolis and Anne Arundel County Public Library. This copy, hand-numbered 391 and signed by editor Carl S. Driver, presents as a well-preserved example of this desirable Americana reprint of the scarce 1807 London original. The work offers a vivid and often candid English perspective on the early United States, with observations on politics, society, and daily life during the 1790s and early 1800s. Illustrated with reproductions of the original engraved plates - including views of Philadelphia, Boston, and Mount Vernon - the volume remains both historically significant and visually engaging. Press of the Pioneers editions are increasingly collected for their role in preserving scarce early Americana texts in finely produced limited printings, and this title stands as one of the more sought-after travel narratives in the series. Condition is Very Good-. The binding is firm and square with intact hinges; black cloth boards show moderate edge wear, light rubbing, and minor fraying at the corners and spine ends. The spine bears a small library number marking. The text block is clean and unmarked with evenly toned pages throughout. Rear endpapers show abrasion and remnants from removal of library materials, with a tear to the rear flyleaf consistent with deaccessioning. The pictorial ex-library bookplate remains intact and particularly attractive, adding a distinctive layer of period institutional provenance rather than detracting from presentation. No dust jacket was issued. Edition points include the 1935 Press of the Pioneers imprint, statement 'Reprinted from the London Edition of 1807,' signed limitation page, and inclusion of engraved plate reproductions. Despite its ex-library status, the combination of signed limited issue, strong Americana subject matter, and appealing provenance places this copy firmly within the collectible range. Charles William Janson was an English traveler whose 1807 account of the United States provides a candid and often critical perspective on the early republic. Writing as an outsider, he documented social customs, politics, and regional distinctions during a formative period in American history. His work remains an important primary source for understanding transatlantic views of the young nation. …
