About this Item

Philadelphia, quarto (8.75 x 11.25 inches), [two parts: Part I, 13 numbers, 208 p.; Part II, 13 numbers, 208 p.], plus 2 additional numbers of \"Waldies's Select Circulating Library, 1836\". ***CONTENT: As the title proclaims, this serial publication contains an amalgam of reports, reviews and commentary designed to interest, inform, and entertain the American reader. Topics covered include moral and spiritual essays, tales, articles of information, book reviews, ancient and current history, biographical sketches, arts, poetry and music, nature, medicine, and science, popular culture, foreign and domestic travels and scenery, warfare, shipwrecks, and calamities, and so much more. ***CONDITION: This a complete, Good+ copy bound in the original 3\/4 brown leather and marbled boards. The covers are clean and sound but show mild edgewear and drying and chipping to the leather backstrip and corners. The original gilt-lettered spine label is largely complete, joints and hinges tender but holding, binding firm. The text pages are near pristine: fresh, clean, and bright. No evidence of previous ownership. This is a sound copy of a scarce, informative volume that broadly illuminates the era. International shipping will be extra, but only at my cost.
