Walpole, New Hampshire: Printed by David Carlisle for Thomas & Thomas, 1799. Later edition. Contemporary tree-calf, rebacked, new spine label and endpapers; interior browning due to the quality of the paper, with one small tear on the lower corner of leaf C5 with loss of some letters. Later edition of this classic work, a scarce New Hampshire imprint. This inventive work of fiction has been attributed to several different authors, including Benjamin Victor and Daniel Defoe. It contains a series of stories in which each new one is prompted by a character and/or situation from the previous one. First printed in London in 1726, early editions included a description of Philadelphia, believed to be authentic according to Cox and Sabin. Later editions did away with this passage.
