Item description from seller

A presentation set, inscribed on the front free endpaper of the first volume: "Mr. A.B. Wright, from his friend, the author, Geo. Catlin 1848." This is the second edition, published the same year as the first. This work appeared just as Catlin's Indian Gallery reopened in London, only to be bashed by British critics who complained of "a recklessness and a roughness in some of his anecdotes" and "indelicate innuendoes and double entendres" (Dippie). Later printed under the title, ADVENTURES OF THE OJIBBEWAY AND IOWAY INDIANS IN ENGLAND, FRANCE, AND BELGIUM. "Anecdotal though it is, NOTES is a readable and revealing book in the classic satirical vein of the visitor from a foreign culture commenting on the peculiarities of civilized society" - Dippie. SABIN 11533. FIELD 256. Dippie, CATLIN AND HIS CONTEMPORARIES, pp.126-27 and passim. REESE, BEST OF THE WEST 77 (note). Original pictorial cloth stamped in gilt and blind, expertly rebacked, retaining original gilt backstrips. Endpapers renewed, save for original front free endpaper in first volume, bearing Catlin's presentation inscription. Cloth lightly rubbed. Old ink stain on p.91 of first volume, else clean internally. Very good.
