Hard Cover. Condition: Good. First Edition. First Edition. [Volume I ONLY] [ Vol. II was printed later in 1803, and not supplied here.] **Americana collector George Brinley's Copy** Hard cover in half tan paper with blue paper-covered boards, the printed paper label applied to the spine, First Edition. Condition. Good. Lacking ffep, viii, (one unnumbered page),10-304, text complete. Covers quite loose, but holding. About fifty percent of paper covering the spine is extensively worn or missing, exposing two cords. The original paper label applied to the spine is likewise worn, but still legible. The whole is now in protective mylar. The laid paper of the text is highly variable in size, some parts browned upon the printed areas. Page edges are untrimmed. A neat, small paper label glued to the front pastedown indicates this was once part of a set of two volumes in the Brinley Collection, containing a handwritten number in old ink which corresponds to the sale catalog of this famed collection in 1878. *** This book appeared in Part One of the Sale, held over five days, from March 10-15th, 1879 at the New York auction rooms of George A. Leavitt & Co. This sale was a trailblazing event in the book world, as described in the biographical sketch of the collector, not only for the excellence and depth of Brinley's collection, the thoroughness of the accompanying five-part, meticulously-researched catalog, but also in that the owner chose to generously donate free purchasing credit to some of the premier antiquarian institutions of the day. These included Yale College, the American Antiquarian Society, the Watkinson Library, New York Historical Society and Pennsylvania Historical Society, for gift total of $24,500. *** From the Catalog: ( p. 198): "1532 MINOT (G.R.), Continuation of the History of the Province of Massachusetts-Bay, from the Year 1748, boards, uncut. 2 vols. 8o 1798-1803." ***"The second volume has Hannah Adams's autograph presentation to [her distant cousin, President] John Adams." *** Our item, Vol. 1 of the set, has no signature, and may therefore only be spiritually adjacent to the presidential association above, however, there is a strong inference that these two volumes were once united and sitting together upon the presidential bookshelf sometime after 1803, especially as the collector's label has the catalog number thus: 1532/2. [The second volume of this was not published until 1803, after the Author's death.] (Sabin Vol. XII, p. 208). Boston Author George Richards Minot (1758-1802), jurist and historian, conceived of this work as a continuation of the former Royal Governor Thomas Hutchinson's "History of Massachusetts-Bay through 1765." Minot dedicates this volume to future president, and fellow Harvard Law graduate, John Adams, L.L., D., and other fellows of the newly created American Academy of Arts and Sciences. Topics include the Early Massachusetts Royal Governors, Andros and Shirley, the French and Indian War, West Indies trade, the New England fisheries, Plymouth Colony etc. Sabin Americana 49321, p. 208.
