Although no copyright date is provided OCLC indicates that this volume (issued among a larger set) was published circa 1845; the book's paper and typeset certainly seem contemporary to that date. Conflicting Memphis, Tennessee bindery ticket "Bound by Boyle & Chapman, 279 1/2 Main St., Memphis, Tenn." affixed at front pastedown's top left; Boyle & Chapman was a rather short-lived firm as OCLC cites company imprints from only 1871 to 1876; presence of Boyle & Chapman ticket should mean the binding is their product but, with the spine leather perished and the board leather degraded, it is difficult to ascertain whether the binding reflects American or British/Scottish work; antebellum and Reconstruction-era/postbellum bindery tickets for the American South are quite uncommon.
