ACCOUNT
OF AN EXPEDITION FROM PITTSBURGH TO THE ROCKY MOUNTAINS, Performed
in the years 1819, 1820, by Order of The Hon. J.C. Calhoun, Secretary of
War: Under the Command of MAJOR STEPHEN H. LONG. From the Notes of
Major Long, Mr. T. Say, and other Gentlemen of the Exploring
Party. Compiled by Edwin James, Botanist and Geologist for the
Expedition. In Three Volumes. London: Printed for Longman,
Hurst, Rees, Orme, and Brown, Paternoster - Row. 1823. This
offering is a hybrid of both the American and British first
editions. The first American volumes (2) are bound in original
leather with original tipped on spine titles. The first British
volumes (3) are bound in original boards with re-cased spines and tipped
on spine titles. Interior end-papers of first American volumes are
original and have "Sempronium Library" handwritten on first
end-paper. End-papers of British volumes have been replaced; and,
on title pages of each is stamped, "Long Island Historical
Society." All of these volumes have been properly and
officially de-acquisitioned. |
Volumes of the
American edition are in very good plus condition; however, there is
light foxing throughout. The British volumes exhibit very little,
if any, foxing, and are in near fine condition. American volumes:
Volume I, pages 1 - 503; Volume II, pages 1 - 442; plus, Astronomical
and Meteorological Records and Vocabularies of Indian Languages,
Taken on the Expedition for Exploring the Mississippi and Its Western
Waters, under the Command of Major S. H. Long, of the United States
