In full red morocco solander case. New York, 1789 * THIS IS WITHOUT QUESTION THE FINEST PERFECT COPY WHICH HAS BEEN OFFERED IN A QUARTER CENTURY, WITH ALL THE KNOWN PLATES OF MAPS, INCLUDING THE THREE PLATES, 45*, 46* and 47*. No copies are known with plates 34-39, and the conclusion is that THESE PLATES WERE NEVER PUBLISHED. Sabin mentions only 74 plates. The "Proposal" is laid down on the inside of the covers, and at the bottom is written in ink "Subscription papers will be sent to most of the booksellers of the Continent.” This sheet scems to have been an earlier issue than that described in the Library of Congress "List of Maps of America," which contains an additional paragraph. The maps are of themselves remarkably interesting as NOTABLE SPECI MENS OF EARLY AMERICAN ENGRAVING by C. Tiebout, an artist, who, according to Stauffer "HAS THE DISTINCTION OF HAVING BEEN THE FIRST AMERICAN-BORN PROFESSIONAL ENGRAVER TO PRODUCE REALLY MERITORIOUS On each map special signs indicate all the Presbyterian and Episcopal Churches, the Town Houses, Grist Mills, Blacksmiths, Bridges, Gaols and Taverns.

Illustrated with numerous portraits, maps and plates. 3 vols. 8vo, contemporary half calf, uncut. Philadelphia, 1786-89 EXCESSIVELY RARE. It is doubtful if a more satisfactory copy of these three rare volumes has ever been offered for sale. The plates are in magnificent state, and the volumes in exceptional uncut condition. The engraved portrait of Washington by Trenchard (Hart 839) is one of the most difficult to procure in spotless condition as is the present one. The portrait of Greene, also by Trenchard, is in most brilliant state. The various views, including those of Boston, New York and Philadelphia buildings, are splendid impressions. Two unimportant plates of recent inventions appear to be wanting. 96. CONGRESS. Journal of the Proceedings of the Congress, held at Philadelphia, May 10, 1775.
