Poor condition. Sold as a group only being six volumes issued within author Samuel G. Goodrich's twenty volume set PARLEY'S CABINET LIBRARY. All six by Boston publisher James E. Hickman whose firm was active from 1844 to 1853 but who was only at the 12 School Street address between 1844 to 1848 (none of the six have dated title pages but do have copyright dates on title page versos). Hardcovers: approx. H 18cm x L 11.5cm. Contemporary dark brown cloth boards with varying surface losses/abrasions; each volume's spine cloth unfortunately perished leaving underlying paper and/or cloth back-strips exposed. Ownership signatures on front pastedowns; foxing, soiling, and stains. Bindings still fairly firm despite poor exterior cosmetics. Jpegs emailed upon request to clarify condition. Goodrich was an immensely popular author in the mid-nineteenth century with the books comprising his PARLEY'S CABINET LIBRARY being amongst his most successful titles. Boston publisher Bradbury Soden & Co. was first to publish this Parley series but other publishers in Boston, New York, and Philadelphia soon followed. These Hickman imprints are among the scarcest for the series and kept as a group with that consideration. ***** {BOOK #1 in the series} FAMOUS MEN OF MODERN TIMES: BY THE AUTHOR OF PETER PARLEY'S TALES.
