Richmond, Va: H. K. Ellyson's Steam Press, 1855. 1st Edition. 8vo. Very Good. Item #16756
In this scarce 1855 staple-bound pamphlet, Maury, a U.S. Navy officer and the "Father of Modern Oceanography" praises the glories of the state of Virginia past, present and even future, hinting at but diplomatically dodging an outright prediction relating to the pre-Civil War increasing tensions between North and South.
24pp, staple-bound and in exquisite condition, with little wear, the light remnants of some pencil ghosting to the lower front wrap. Clean bright interior.
A lovely and quite desirable edition.
Price: $85.00
