1876 — A Popular History of the United States — 4 Volume Set — 3/4 Leather Bindings — William Cullen Bryant & Sydney Howard Gay

….From the First Discovery of the Western Hemisphere by the Northmen, to the end of the first century of the union of the States. Preceded by a sketch of the pre-historic period and the age of the mound builders.

Fully Illustrated. Scribner, Armstrong, and Company, New York, 1876. 4 Volumes. The first volume is in 3/4 black leather and the remaining volumes are in 3/4 red leather, as pictured.

Volume One is quite worn and is detached from the spine along the front hinge. The back hinge is holding fine.  Marbled end sheets and marbled, but a bit faded, marbling along the page edges.

Volume two is a bit worn on the binding as well, different style of marbling on end sheets and page edges.  Front hinge also detached.

Volume Three and Volume Four must have had a similar problems with detached or loosening along the hinges of the binding, because they both have black tape reinforcing those hinges inside the front and back boards.

Overall this is a good to fair condition set. Shipping is cheap! Only $4.50, so because of this ABSOLUTELY NO FOREIGN ORDERS.
