Be it Remembered, That on the 17 day of June 1830 came before me James Kent, Esq. Justice of the Peace in and for said county Columbia New York Insp. and acknowledged - sel - indebted to the People of the State of New York, in the sum of $25. Dollars, under condition that if he shall personally appear at the next Session in fact to be holden on the 24th day of June in and for the County of Columbia, then and there to give evidence in behalf of the People of the State of New-York, against Robert Adams, vagrant Negro & Quadroon -- this Recognizance will be void, otherwise to remain in full force. and unlawful & wilfull neglect. Taken and acknowledged before me this 18 day of June 1830 (?) Justice." On upper corner of verso "Robert Adams Abandonment In Contemptus. We wonder if Mr. Adams could possibly have been the Robert Adams who was credited as the author of "The Narrative of Robert Adams: An American Sailor Who Was Wrecked on the Western Coast of Africa, in the Year 1810" which waspublished in London in 1816 with an American edition the following years. The narrative is generally regarded as fabricated and Adams pretty much disappears into the mists.

Small scuff to slipcase at entrance, else sturdy and solid. Signed by Matheson, Simmons, Johnson, and Etchison on limitation page at front. Matheson's classic lone survivor novel, often seen as one of the first major reimaginings of the vampire genre after decades of gothic Dracula-style creatures.

Spine slightly concave along top edge, a couple tiny spots on top edge. Binding tight and square, pages clean, bright, and unmarked. 2001 Hard Cover. xxvi, 801, [5] pp. 8vo. 'London: The Biography is the pinnacle of Peter Ackroyd's brilliant obsession with the eponymous city. In this unusual and engaging work, Ackroyd brings the reader through time into the city whose institutions and idiosyncrasies have permeated much of his works of fiction and nonfiction. Peter Ackroyd sees London as a living, breathing organism, with its own laws of growth and change. Reveling in the city's riches as well as its raucousness, the author traces thematically its growth from the time of the Druids to the beginning of the twenty-first century. Anecdotal, insightful, and wonderfully entertaining, London is animated by Ackroyd's concern for the close relationship between the present and the past, as well as by what he describes as the peculiar 'echoic' quality of London, whereby its texture and history actively affect the lives and personalities of its citizens.
