1856 Wolfsden by Josiah Barnes 1st Edition Rare Book
Wolfsden : An Authentic Account of Things There and Thereunto Pertaining As They Are and Have Been. by J. B. (attributed to Josiah Barnes). Published by Phillips, Sampson & Co., Boston, 1856. 1st Edition. Publishers original brown cloth hardback with gold gilt. Good condition for its age. Cover has wear to the corners and top/bottom of spine. It appears that all owners going back to 1856 opted to write their names and the year of ownership on the first two inpages. Internally besides the writing there is foxing, thumbing and staining to the first few pages with an occasional page there after having a few foxing spots. Despite all of that the book is still bound together with all of its pages in place. A very rare and old book to find.
Condition: As Described "See Pictures"
