Greetings.
I have recently acquired a book that I would like to
know if anyone has an idea of it's value.
I am not planning on selling it anytime soon. But
curious if anyone else has seen this book anywhere.
It appears to be the age that is printed in the book 1846.
It also has never been read since the pages at the
top of the book are uncut on each of 4 page pairs.
That is to say that facing pages 6 & 7 would be
uncut with pages 5 & 8 uncut over the top of the
inside pages. So every 4 pages I would have to
cut the top pair of pages with an exacto knife.
The book is brown about 4 1/2 X 7 inches.
A couple of inside pages read:
--------------
The Library of American Biography
conducted By Jared Sparks
second series
VOL. IX.
--------------
Lives of
Leonard Calvert.
Samuel Ward.
and
Thomas Posey.
Boston:
Charles C. Little and James Brown.
1846
--------------
Life of Leonard Calvert
First Governor of Maryland;
by George W. Burnap.
--------------
Preface includes references to:
Bozman's History of Maryland,
McMahon's Historical View of the Government of Maryland,
Bacon's Laws of Maryland,
Smith's Virginia,
and especially from the manuscript letters of Father White.
--------------
The back outside edge reads:
Sparks American Biography
VOL XIX
new series
IX
an apparent coat of arms with the
inscription:
VERBUM DOMINI MANETIN ETERNUM
--------------
The first 229 pages are about Leonard Calvert.
Also, does anyone know if there are reprints of
this book? I haven't begun to search the web yet.
Thanks for reading the post.
