Item description from seller

First edition. 12mo. 20 pp. Title page and text printed within ornamental borders. Root (1795-1870), a native of New York and a farmer, settled in Galesburg in 1836, traveled to the California gold fields in 1848 (his memoir, "Journal of the Travels," is an overland rarity), patented a number of inventions, and took up music, producing this treatise and "constructing a keyboard to illustrate the transposition of scale"(Find-a-Grave online). Original printed yellow wrappers. Very good.
