1836 · Cincinnati, (OH) and Louisville, (KY)
by Butler, Mann
Cincinnati, (OH) and Louisville, (KY): J. A. James and Co. and the author, 1836. Second, and best, edition, revised and enlarged by the author. 8vo. lxxii, 551 pp. Howes B-1059: "Disputes many of Marshall's finding; contains the journal of Col. George Croghan, one of the earliest accounts in English of the Ohio country." Sabin 9654: "Some copies have a Louisville imprint [as here]." American Imprints 36479 (Virginia, Miami). Coleman 3229: "The 1836 edition [issued without the portrait], more desirable than the first, contains an appendix with materials on the Treaty at Fort Stanwix and on Col. Richard Henderson." Much scarcer than the first edition (OCLC locates 11 copies of this edition and it appears to be wanting in most major southern institutional collections). At the Brinley sale (1881), the first edition brought two dollars, the second nine. Very good. Later three-quarter red morocco, gilt, rebacked with the original spine laid down, gilt ornaments and title between raised bands on spine, marbled boards and endpapers, top edge gilt, by R.W. Smith. (9246).
