About This Item
New York: Columbia University Press, 1922. First Edition. Very good+ in its original brick red, cloth covered boards with gilt text on the spine and a gilt emblem on the front board. A small quarto of 9 1/2 by 6 3/4 inches with the cloth at the head and heel of the spine rubbed, worn and beginning to fray; otherwise this copy would be in near fine condition as the joints, hinges, text block are all tight and clean with no prior ownership markings of any kind. Without a dust jacket; however the book is protected within a clear Mylar covering 154 pages of text. Illustrated with a frontispiece portrait of Fulton from an engraving and 19 plates.
