Jefferson DAVIS / Rise and Fall of the Confederate Government 1st Edition 1881

Description: Rise and Fall of the Confederate Government Author: DAVIS, Jefferson Title: Rise and Fall of the Confederate Government Publication: New York: D. Appleton and Company, 1881 Edition: First Edition Description: Hardcover. Large octavo, 2 volumes. 707pp., 808pp., illustrated with fourteen maps. A fresh, clean, lovely set in the publisher's full brown morocco binding, with gilt dentelles, marbled endpapers, and gilt spine titles. Tiny spots of rubbing to corners and exremities, but a clean, sound, handsome set, with strong inner hinges; near fine. Close inspection suggests that a few little blemishes have been very competently filled-in by a conservator. As with Grant's memoirs, this set was sold by subscription and offered in at least four bindings (cloth, sheep, half morocco, and full morocco), and the publisher's full morocco binding was naturally the most expensive, and subsequently the least common. In fact, we have found the publisher's half morocco binding to be considerably more common by comparison. Slightly shy of a fine set, but absolutely gift-quality. Davis's highly detailed (if self-serving) account of the Confederate experiment. Howes D120; Nevins II (51), In Tall Cotton 34. Near fine.
