G. O. Dwight. Published in New York by J. Leavitt in 1830 (co-published by Crocker and Brewster, Boston).

Condition Report:
This volume heavily shows its 190+ years of age, offering a fantastic antique look. The printed paper boards and leather spine show heavy scuffing, edge wear, and rubbing. Internally, the text block is securely bound, though pages exhibit widespread foxing, browning, and historic staining. The 1828 Utica map remains securely attached to the binding; it shows some light toning and minor historic tearing along the fold creases, but is complete with no missing pieces. Please review all high-resolution photos carefully to assess condition details.
Will be securely packed in a sturdy box with ample bubble wrap to ensure its safe preservation during transit. Ships via USPS Media Mail with tracking.
