Leather. Third Edition. 2 vols. 427p; 376p. REBOUND. A set of two hardcover books rebound in full brown leather with silk endpapers and a custom slipcase. Pages lightly tanned with age, more heavily on those which are opposite plates. Unobtrusive foxing here and there; otherwise, text unmarked and binding secure in both volumes. Very good condition, externally like new! Complete with 16 plates including a large foldout map of the United States. Weld was an English explorer and topographer; he first published this popular work in 1799, only a year before this third edition, in the interest of research for Irish immigration prospects.

Hard Cover. Condizione: Very Good binding. Octavo. Vol I: xx, 427; II: viii, 376 pp., fold plates, map. Third edition. In early 20th century cloth; lacking the advertisements called for by Howes; all plates are present. Bindings are a little worn at the spine ends with some fraying to head of the spine of Volume I, otherwise only light edgewear; endpaper split at the hinges but have been discreetly and neat reglued and are strong; early pencil markings--mostly small hands with pointing fingers in the margins; list of places with pencil check marks, probably more recent; light and foxing throughout but more so around the folding plates and maps, even here it is not very distracting. This is a fairly nice copy in 20th century binding of a very good early travel narrative. Originally issued by Stockdale in 1799, this is an early edition of a frequently reprinted travel narrative, this edition with striking views of Niagra Falls, Hudson River, Natural Bridge in Virginia, and more. Clark writes, "It is obvious from this volume that he was a loyal Englishman with enough aristocratic prejudice not to understand the American frontiersmen. His attitude is indicated by his closing remarks that he left the United States 'without a sigh, and without entertaining the slightest wish to revisit ti.' In the cities he mixed with the best society and met the important leaders of the country, including Washington and Jefferson. Of them he was less critical" (Clark, Old South, II, 132).

Weld, an Irishman, arrived in Philadelphia in late 1795 at the age of nineteen. His observations during two years of travels through eastern North America and Canada, told through a series of letters, comprise one of the most popular narratives of the day. Story wrote that "his account of Canada (letters 21-25) is a clear and sustained description of an area and a way of life that pleased him more than had the United States." Weld made one trip south as far as Virginia, as well as crossing Pennsylvania and New York. He said that he left the United States "without a sigh, and without entertaining the slightest wish to revisit it." The engraved plates are after sketches by the author. The map, with its borders and those of the states colored by hand, shows the East Coast of America south through North Carolina, with an inset map of South Carolina, and west through the Great Lakes region.
