Item description from seller

First edition (per lack of any statement; second editions are identified by stamped notation upon spine cloth). 1-4, i-viii, 5-648 pages. Hardcover: H 23.75cm x L 16.25cm. Dark burgundy cloth rubbed; strong surface scratching to boards with corners worn; small gouge and patch of rippled cloth at rear board's upper left; spine's surface cloth glued down to underlying backstrip with lengthwise tear along surface cloth's rear joint; spine ends frayed/scuffed but with spine's gilt and black stamping still fairly bright. Text block edges toned/foxed and soiled. Modern ink ownership inscriptions on front free endpaper along with maternal birthday missive (October 1948) gifting the book to a daughter on front pastedown; slight toning at interior page margins; occasional light foxing to leaves. One quire slightly pulled but binding remains firm. A good copy of a book reflecting typical condition faults as publisher R.H. Henry & Company unfortunately did not utilize high production standards and copies do not tend to age well. A standard late 19th century Mississippi history authored by Confederate Brigadier General Robert Lowry who served as Governor of Mississippi from 1882-1890 and Confederate officer and relentless Reconstruction critic William H. McCardle who served as editor of The Vicksburg Times and Vicksburg Herald newspapers. The book's publisher, Robert Hiram Henry (1851-1931), owned the Jackson, Mississippi newspaper The Clarion-Ledger. {Bibliographical reference: Wright Howes US IANA L-540.} Description copyright David Hallinan, Bookseller. Please note that this book has an approximate shipping weight of 3.75 pounds (1.7 kg) and may require additional postage for any postal class other than domestic Media Mail. {MS-Shelf#4}.…
