RARE AND COLLECTIBLE | REFERENCE

Printed by Akerman and Hancock for Mathew Carey of Philadelphia, 1803. A new edition with improvements. This is a very good copy bound in marbled paper covered boards with burgundy quarter leather to the spine. The boards and leather are bright and clean with only some corner rubbing. Now covered in a removable protective cover. The binding is very secure with only the bottom third of the first free endpaper split away. The fold out chart is undamaged and this issue includes the half title page and the list of subscribers at the rear. The pages are age browned and with some scattered foxing. Overall a superb copy of this very scarce item. Scans available if required.
