First Edition Thus. iv, 193, (1); x, 169 pages; Two volumes bound in in one dark brown half leather with marbled boards, four raised bands, gilt lettering at spine, contents clean and securely stitched; front board detached; leather worn at spine ends. OCLC 11117291 Two 19th century armorial bookplates of former owners, representing two generations of the Mason family - Sidney Mason (1799-1871) and Theodorus Bailey Myers Mason (1848-1899). The bookplates have in common a figure of a mermaid holding a mirror, which is the central representation in the earlier plate, and which is a smaller figure resting atop a lion in the later plate and the motto "Listo". Curiously, Myers Mason was not a patrilinear descendant of Sydney, but was christened honorifically with the last name of his maternal grandfather, who had no male heirs to carry on the family patronym. Sydney Mason was a man "of staunch Massachusetts descent" who ventured off to sea as a brass polisher and made his fortune as a sugar plantation owner in the West Indies. He was appointed the first U.S. Consul to Porto Rico, where he married the daughter of Din Jose de Rado of Cadiz and had two children. He eventually retired to New York where his daughter Catalina Mason (named for her aunt the Marchioness d'Esperanza) met and married Theodorus Bailey Myers, a lawyer and man of means who served in the United States Army during the War of 1812 and the Civil War. The second bookplate is that of their son Theodorus Bailey Myers Mason, a distinguished linguist who travelled extensively in Europe and South America as a naval observer collecting ideas on naval intelligence systems, eventually putting this knowledge to use establishing the first U.S. Office of Naval Intelligence, which he directed. His sister Cassie Mason Myers Julian-James donated a significant collection of family heirlooms to the Smithsonian in the early 20th century.
