Description
1887. DANA, Henry S. HISTORY OF WOODSTOCK, VERMONT. Cambridge: [Privately Published] Printed at the Riverside Press, 1887. This copy precedes by two years the first trade edition, slightly expanded, which was published in 1889 by Houghton, Mifflin and Company. Illustrated with thirteen plates, including views, taken from photographs and engravings, and a portrait of the author. vi,624 pp. Large pape copy. 30.5 x 22.5 cm. Octavo, green cloth. Mostly clean internally, though the preliminary and closing leaves are foxed, including the frontispiece portrait of Dana, and a few plates have light marginal foxing. One leaf (p. v-vi) is sprung, with a corner chip, and another leaf (p. 121-122) has a closed tear at the inside margin. The bookblock is over-opened in several places near the center. The binding is worn at perimeters, with corners bumped, and a stained and abraded spine label which is no longer legible; in general, the cloth is scuffed, with light soiling and some spotting. Just a very good copy, but a rare early printing.

Nashua NH (Sringfield): Charles T. Gill (John M. Wood), 1848. 1st Edition. Hardcover. Fair/ Good -. Presumed first edition, 12mo, printed paper with engraved pictorial over boards. xx + 21-180, with engraved figure of male letter writer (same as cover) verso of fly across form title, with engraved vignettes throughout. Title page identifies John M Wood of Springfield (presumably Massachusetts) 1847 as publisher, so we might assume sheets went from Wood in Mass to Gill in NH who bound the book. Paper over spine perished but hand-strung binding holding firm. Internals about very good. Covers stained and soiled. Still, a charming, (very) unsophisticated copy.

Description
London: Published by Francis West, 1850. Hand-coloured engraving. A later impression. Very good condition apart from some light soiling, a few small tears and a mild water stain in the bottom margin. A lovely view down the length of the canal in St. James Park as seen from Buckingham Palace, from "A Collection of Views of Old London and its Environs," a series of plates originally engraved for the publisher John Bowles in the mid 1700s and later reissued in the nineteenth century by Francis West. This particular plate was first published by John Bowles & Son in 1746. Born in France in 1713, Peter Charles Canot was a prolific line engraver who was active in England beginning in 1740. He engraved copious plates after various old Masters as well as contemporary artists, including Samuel Scott, Thomas Sandby, and John Maurer, and exhibited at the Free Society, the Society of Artists and the Royal Academy, which appointed him an associate engraver in 1770. He was also a member of the Incorporated Society of Artists. The English draughtsman and engraver John Maurer was chiefly know for his various views of London. His services were in high demand by print sellers during the mid-eighteenth century, and he engraved numerous plates for such eminent publishers as Thomas Bowles, John Boydell, and Robert Sayer. Cf. Adams, London Illustrated 1604-1851 193; cf. Benezit, Dictionnaire des Peintres, Sculpteurs, Dessinateurs et Graveurs, Vol. 9, p. 389; Dictionary of National Biography.
