8vo, pp. [7], 10-324, [2]; frontispiece and 70 plates, primarily portraits; original red cloth, gilt-stamped spine; very good. Laid in are 7 autograph letters totaling 38 pages, from the author to various members of the family on dates, family relations and connections, the D'Wolf name and its origins, religious backgrounds, and discussion about the publishing of the book - all of them undated as to year but all but one apparently preceding the publication of the book. Also laid in is a 3-page letter from Samuel S. Drury to Calbraith Perry, dated Bristol, April 2, 1902 recording the personal effects of Mark Anthony D'Wolf, which included "1 negro man named Pompey / 1 ditto woman named Sukey / 6 mahogany chairs / 1 Davidson's quadrant / 2 punch bowls / 2 great silver spoons." This copy once that of Dr. Herman Doring of Rio, Virginia whose name has been affixed to the front pastedown. On the flyleaf he notes: "This work of no value other than stunning discernments of Mark Anthony DeWolf, all the most foolish speculation and assumption." Several other pencil annotations in the text also taking issue with Perry's research. At the front pasted to a flyleaf is a long newspaper account of the trial of the Rev. Calbraith Perry dated Sept 25, 1888 on "charges of the gravest character . originated with boys connected with the service of the church.".
