McKay 2150. In the sale catalogue, Sabin states that the physical quality of the Menzies books surpasses that of any other collection handled by him during his entire career. "The sale underlined for the first time the importance of American printing and American authors. Menzies collecting career is well documented in the carefully produced catalog of his extraordinary library" (Dickinson, 'Dictionary of American Book Collectors', pp. 230-31). "Goelet was not a bibliographer, but he had two great advantages: immense wealth and the counsel of Joseph Sabin. With backing of that kind he was able to form one of the showpiece collections of the nineteenth century" (Dickinson, p. 139). A fine bibliophile association copy. Some chipping at edges and general wear, but fine.
