Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. 1st Edition. PROTECTION AND PROSPERITY LARGE HARDCOVER BY GEORGE B. CURTISS 1896 FIRST EDITION. Wow, I could never have imagined that in 1896 someone could have written an 864-page book on Protection and Prosperity! For your consideration, I am pleased to offer a very nice copy of a very large, thick book, titled: Protection and Prosperity An Account of Tariff Legislation and Its Effect in Europe and America, by George B. Curtiss, Esq., Counselor-at-Law. This hard cover book (7 ¼ x 10 x 2 ½ inches, 864 pages) was published by the Pan-American Publishing Co. of New York, dated 1896 and a First Edition with the same date on title and copyright pages. It is bound in dark green cloth hard covers with embossed decorations and bright gilt titles, on cover and spine. The book is divided into six major Parts, to wit: Part I Early England under Free Trade; II Modern England under Protection; III Return to Free Trade in England and Its Effect on Home Industries; V Protection to Native Industries in Continental and Other Countries; and VI The Tariff Question in the United States. Each Part is made up of a number of Chapters and it concludes with some 20 pages of Tables of Miscellaneous Statistics. Condition: This book is in good plus plus condition. The hard covers are really nice and clean and bright, with bright gilt titles and decorations. They are ever so lightly bumped, at the corners and spine tips (please see the photos). Inside, the book is unmarked but there are significant although light water stains on many if not most pages, mostly in the margins around the text. They do not, repeat not, affect the legibility of the text. Both hinges are split and the webbing is showing, particularly in the front and hence the front cover feels loose but is still well attached. A sturdy library hinge repair would do the trick. The pages, other than the light water stains, are remarkably clean and bright. The binding is still firm but needs attention to the hinges to restore its overall soundness. This book is not ex-library or a remainder.…
