In a cover letter, pinned to the front free endpaper, Thomas writes to a friend: ". . . I now forward to thee 10 copies of our Report for 1847 to 1850.

Modest foxing on the last 12 pages of the first volume and some dampstains on rear pastedown and endpapers. Overall, a very tight and clean copy.…
