Housed in a new archival mylar sleeve. Shelved Room A. HB Consignment. . This scarce Dublin edition was published shortly after Bradford and Inskeep's 1814 first edition. The two-volume set chronicles the events of the most famous exploratory voyage undertaken in the United States, and consists of the edited journals of Lewis and Clark themselves. Vol. II begins with journal entries from October 1805 and continues through the party's arrival at the Pacific ocean and subsequent return journey, ending with their ultimate arrival in St. Louis in September 1806. The full set of the Dublin edition also includes The Life of Captain Lewis by Thomas Jefferson, which appears in the first volume and is not included here. Sabin describes this work as "to-day the best work we have on the countries described," and points out that despite Paul Allen being the only editor credited in the book itself, "the work was done by Mr. Nicholas Biddle from the material left by Captain Lewis". From Wagner-Camp: "This reissue of the Bradford and Inskeep edition of 1814 was printed with larger, clearer type, thirty-two lines to the page instead of the earlier thirty-six, and contained other editorial changes. Coues considered it to be the best of the Biddle-Allen editions". References: Sabin 40831, Wagner-Camp 13:6. 1407463. Special Collections - Upstairs.
