Light foxing to first few leaves and plate. Very good. First edition. Safford is still considered the leading authority on Harman Blennerhassett in the wake of his publication of THE BLENNERHASSETT PAPERS in 1864. This volume precedes that better-known work by a decade, but it establishes Safford's scholarly interest in the flamboyant man who provided much of the capital for Burr's scheme against the Spanish in Mexico. Blennerhassett's life has been regarded a mixture of "farce and tragedy," and Safford's work maintains this caricature. HOWES S13

The title on the spine is gilt, as is the Blennerhassett coat-of-arms on the front cover. Clean text; 239 pages. The text is exceptionally bright and fresh, easily readable today. The corners are bumped slightly, and there are several small chips, to the head of the spine, the lower front cover, and on the rear panel. There is a small period bookplate on the front paste-down, and some penciled notes from a previous collector, on the FFEP opposite. A solid copy and a fascinating footnote to some quirky… Read More
