Totten et al, Joseph G. REPORTS OF COMMISSIONERS ON PORTLAND HARBOR, ACCOMPANIED BY STATISTICS OF COMMERCE, RAILWAYS, &C. OFTHE STATE OF MAINE, AND CITY OF PORTLAND, AND BY PROCEEDINGS AND CORRESPONDENCE OF THE CITY GOVERNMENT. Portland: Printed by David Tucker, 1855. 8vo., cloth with stamped design and with title stamped in gilt on the front cover, 61pp., plus a map of The Wharf Line of Portland Harbor, and J. W. Hill's View of Portland in 1855. In very good condition with very small nicks at the spine ends, a small break at afold to the Map, and with a repaired tear and some small edge losses to the View, and with the View detatched from the book.

Comparing this printing of the view it appears to have been printed separately, with an uper margin and without the sky, rather than simply cut-down from the larger version: there is no inking of the sky area in the upper margin. There is a presentation inscription on the front free endpaper reading "Thos. Chadwick Esqr/With respects of/Neal Dow" Neal Dow, (1804-1897) is regarded as "The Father of Prohibition."

Cahoon was Myor, but Dow became Mayor later in 1855, and thus it was as Mayor that he gave a copy to Chadwick.OCLC locates ten libraries holding the book.…

Information regarding the right of withdrawal
Statutory right to withdraw
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.
The withdrawal period will expire after 14 days from the day on which you acquire, or a third party other than the carrier and indicated by you acquires, physical possession of the last good or the last lot or piece.
To exercise the right of withdrawal, electronically fill in and submit a clear statement on our website, under "My Purchases" in "My Account". We will communicate to you an acknowledgement of receipt of such a withdrawal on a durable medium (e.g. by e-mail) without delay.
To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.
Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.
We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.
We may withhold reimbursement until we have received the goods back, or you have supplied evidence of having sent back the goods, whichever is the earliest.
You shall send back the goods or hand them over to Edward T. Pollack, ABAA, Portland, Maine, U.S.A., without undue delay and in any event not later than 14 days from the day on which you communicate your withdrawal from this contract to us. The deadline is met if you send back the goods before the period of 14 days has expired. You will have to bear the direct cost of returning the goods. You are only liable for any diminished value of the goods resulting from the handling other than what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the goods.
Exceptions to the right of withdrawal
The right of withdrawal does not apply to:
- The delivery of newspapers, journals or magazines with the exception of subscription contracts; and
- The supply of digital content which is not supplied on a tangible medium (e.g. on a CD or DVD) if you accepted when you placed your order that we could start to deliver it, and that you could not withdraw once delivery had started.
