Steel engraved plate of Frederick Marryat, drawn by Behnes, engraved by Lawson, precedes text. 4to. 11-3/8" x 9-1/8" Flint's long letter (11 columns, in small type) is dated Alexandria, La., April 21, 1835, and apparently not k…nown to Kirkpatrick who made no reference to it in his biography of Flint [per Graff]. The cited references make mention of a separate 12mo edition of this work, and of which we find an occasional record, the last being in 1973. Rare. Marryat is represented with The NAVAL ANNUAL, in addition to the engraving. In 'Belles Lettres' is found, JAPHET In SEARCH Of A FATHER. Miss Baillie [no doubt, unknowingly] contributes a number of dramatic pieces, all but two asserted to be original publications, and which, by appearing herein, constitute their first US appearance. "Belles Lettres" also publishes, for the first time, journal entries from an officer of the U. S. S. PEACOCK, which was serving, at the time, in the Far East. The editor introduces his correspondent by saying he begins by "giving the details of the awful disaster which befell the Peacock, from which she escaped almost by a miracle." Joints starting [boards held solidly by cords], with a largish chip to leather at spine crown. Usual bit of foxing. Period pos to top margin of t.p. An About VG copy. Period brown half-calf over brown marbled paper boards. Volume now protected by a custom-cut clear mylar wrapper 1st edition thus (Howes F-202; cf. Graff 1357, Rader 1419 for the separate printing). Not in Sabin.
