Index. Bound in grey cloth; spine and cover lettered in gilt. Hand numbered 104 of an edition limited to 1000. Signed by both editors and two members of the Delafield family on half-title. Inscribed by Robert McElroy to the noted collector of Americana Philip Ashton Rollins: "To Philip Ashton Rollins, of the / Oregon Trail, but most of / all of Princeton, with the / regards and best wishes of / [signed] Robert McElroy]".
