1873001314Hartford: American Publishing Co. Very Good book. "Eschol" & most other BAL 1st state points. 1874 1873cp. Early printing. Hardcover. VG book. 8vo xvi17-5742pp. Many in text illus & full page plates. Newly rebound in brown leather w orig spine labels. . According to BAL "AGE" just came on the market Christmas day 1873. Firsts Magazine vol 8 # 7/8 says it came on the market Dec 11 '73 and 12000 copies sold that year. BAL & Firsts Magazine both state the very first printings had "Eschol" on pages vii 27 247 and 355as does this copy. Eschol was quickly changed to Beriah. "Firsts" believes this corection nwas done in the 2nd printing. Very early copies also have the line repeats on pages 351 2 & 3. This copy DOES NOT have these repeats. But it has all the other BAL 1st state points. BAL also says the genuine tp also includes "White" as one of the illustrators and "Wm H Lockwood" is on the verso as does this copy. A variant tp contained neither White nor Lockwood. Not sure if these tp & cp points for the 1873 edition apply also to the 1874 edition. This copy is a very early printing. Fold out "SALT LICK" has been folded wrong but there are no tears. Tight no loose pages very nice inside. Just a few soiled or foxed spots.
