New-York: Samuel Wood & Sons, n.d. but 1816 or 1817? 12mo (18cm.); publisher's sheep-backed printed boards; [2],viii,[9]-238pp. Boards rather rubbed with chipping at spine foot, leather quite dry and flaked, small loss to front free endpaper and substantial loss to rear free endpaper, contemporary ownership inscription, soiling throughout textblock. Good or better overall. Date based on copyright page: "Fourteenth day of October in the fortieth year of the Independence of the United States of America." However, this title does not appear in the Shaw & Shoemaker 1816 catalog but in that for 1817 (SHAW & SHOEMAKER 41648).
