Description
Up for a 5 Day Auction is this book: "WEBSTER" The Life, Speeches, and Memorials of containing His Most Celebrated Orations, a Selection from the Eulogies Delivered on the Occasion of His Death; And His Life and Times. It was written by Samuel M. Smucker, LL.D. It was published by Duane Rulison, Quaker City Publishing House, Philadelphia, in 1860. The date of copyright is 1859. It may well be a first edition but not a first printing. It is 52 pages in length. It is leather bound with embossed scrollwork on the boards and WEBSTER in gold leaf. There is an owner's name beautifully inscribed at the front of the book, but faded. The name is John Hamilton, Pittsburgh, Pa. This is a veritible treasure trove of the early history of our country. As can be seen from the photos, there is deep wear to the edgings of the boards and the spine. The lower part of the spine is missing a piece of the cover, again photographed. The hinges are compromised but the binding of the body of the book is quite tight. There is offsetting of the pictures. There is some foxing but overall the pages are free of it to a great degree. The front board has a crease close to the inside lower corner. This book is just a joy!
