Only minor soiling to Slipcase - Very Good+ or better. From the publisher: "Born of a wealthy New Jersey family, Mickle was in his short lifetime (1822-1855) a Camden and Philadelphia lawyer, the editor of two weekly newspapers, an historian, an accomplished violinist and avid book collector, a local political leader, something of a ladies' man, and a keen observer of his society and times. By the age of twenty-two Mickle had immersed himself in politics, and his activities provide a view not only into day-to-day local affairs but also into the Democractic National Convention of 1844. He relates meetings with many prominent figures of his day, including Presidents Van Buren, Tyler, Polk and writers Orestes Brownson and Ralph Waldo Emerson.
