New York: G.P. Putnam & Co., 1855. First Edition, First Printing. Hardcover. 5 vols.

A set of five clothbound hardcover books in good, readable condition overall. The corners and spine ends are wearing through and sunfaded. Light, spotty stains on the covers. Heavier staining and edgewear on volume I, most visibly on the back, and bleeding through onto the first few leaves. Small tear in the gutter of the Bunker Hill map in volume I. Faint circular stain on front cover of volume II. A few page edges lightly chipped in volume IV, not affecting the readability of the text. On volume V, the spine is crinkled and there is a small brown stain on the side edge. Scattered foxing; otherwise, text unmarked across the set. Bindings are a bit shaken from years of handling, but are secure enough for normal reading purposes. Item #200314
