Octavo. 21, (ix), 198, (8)pp. A facsimile of Morton's history of Plymouth Colony, originally published in Cambridge, Massachusetts and considered the first history book published in the (eventual) United States. Arthur Lord, in his Introduction, explains the early 20th-century interest in the work, and its particular bibliographic relevance to one of the chief bibliophilic societies of New England. Bound in gilt-stamped gray paper over boards backed in gray cloth. Some rubbing at ends of spine and along joints, some toning, else very good.
