Hardcover. First Edition. Original gilt-decorated red morocco-backed marbled boards with matching morocco corners; 88 pages. Illustrated with a portrait frontispiece of Jackson, an engraved title page, 4 plates (the Golden Wreath printed on white clay-coated stock, The Battle of New Orleans, The Hermitage, and The Capitol), 3 engraved leaves of music (Jackson Grand March and Quick Step), and a large hand-colored folding map of the U.S. (with portions of the Oregon Territory and Mexico, including Texas) measuring approx. 17" x 19" and tipped in at the rear. HOWES W-68; SABIN 101164. Published in commemoration of Jackson's inauguration, the campaign biography by Walsh, BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCH OF THE LIFE OF ANDREW JACKSON (Hudson, N.Y., 1828) here reissued with the addition of McHenry's substantial "Continuation of the Biography" and some additional matter. Light, sporadic foxing; plates quite clean thanks, in part, to the presence of the tissue guards; the map in beautiful shape with bright coloring. A lovely, close to Fine example of a book usually found missing the map or quite worn. Near Fine.
