About this Item

An Anglo-Irish graduate of TCD, Blennerhasset (1765-1831) emigrated to America, presumably to excape arrest either as a member of the United Irishmen., or for his incestuous marriage. He became involved with Burr's possible treasonous ploting of 1806 (his large estate, now a state park, was evidently a headquarters for Burr). This is a Very Good copy of the First Edition, which is not common. Dark brown decorative cloth binding, heavily blindstamped. The title on the spine is gilt, as is the Blennerhassett coat-of-arms on the front cover. Clean text; 239 pages. The text is exceptionally bright and fresh, easily readable today. The corners are bumped slightly, and there are several small chips, to the head of the spine, the lower front cover, and on the rear panel. There is a small period bookplate on the front paste-down, and some penciled notes from a previous collector, on the FFEP opposite. A solid copy and a fascinating footnote to some quirky American history. Size: 12mo - over 6�" - 7�" tall. Seller Inventory # 002641
