1875 History WARWICK Rhode Island 1642-1875 Illustrated HC First Edition

Description: The History of Warwick, Rhode Island, Settlement in 1642 to the Present Time; Including accounts of the early settlement and development of its several villages; sketches of the origin and progress of the different churches of the town, &c, &c., written by Oliver Payson Fuller, is a 380 page, 6 X 8 1/2 inch hardcover book printed by Angell, Burlingame & Co., Providence. The "Entered according to Act of Congress" date is 1875, and "1875" is printed on the title page. This is an assumed rebound first edition. The book is in fair/good condition, with brown boards that have a blindstamped decorative edge, and gilt spine titles. Synopsis - The author provides a detailed and comprehensive history of Warwick, illustrated with full page plates of portraits, residences, businesses and points of interest. A small errata sheet is tipped in. Condition Details - The book is somewhat fragile, and although the rest of the textblock has a secure binding and no loose pages, the first eight pages are beginning to separate at the hinge. The previous owner appears to have been researching a family member, and about 15 pages have pen notations in the margin and/or underlining. The text is lightly toned, but not foxed. The title page and another text page carry an embossed stamp that reads "Boston: American Congregational Association" so the book may have been part of a private library, however, there are no standard ex-library indicators. A Clarke family bookplate is affixed to the inside front cover, and there are several numbers/initials written in pencil on the front endpapers. The cover has light edgewear and a few small scrapes/spots, but no significant soil or stains. The gilt spine titles are faded. The textblock edges are toned, especially the top edge. No unpleasant odors or signs of damp. I never use stock photos. The item pictured is the item you'll receive, and it will be packed with care regardless of the shipping method.
