1860 SCARCE Book LIFE OF GEORGE WASHINGTON 5 Vol in 1 Washington Irving 1st Ed
Offered for sale is this rare antique book titled LIFE OF GEORGE WASHINGTON authored by Washington Irving in fair to good overall condition. It was published by George P. Putnam out of New York and has matching title page and copyright page dates of 1860 and I believe this is a rare first edition publication in this format as all 5 volumes are in this book! It is very well illustrated with engravings throughout that are just incredible. I purchased this book years ago and it came out of my own collection of American History books. The book measures about 10 1/2" by 7" and is about 3" thick. It has 821 pages and with the scuffing and the wear on edges. The book has a great old look to it! It does have some condition issues as to be expected with a book this old and large. The front leather hardcover has a partial split along ... morethe spine seam as I tried to show in the last photo making the hinge a little weaker, but it still opens and closes fine. There is some foxing on the first few pages but as you move farther into the book, the foxing is greatly reduced and the pages still are fairly bright. There is one loosening engraving that is still connected barely. The book was signed by 2 previous owners and one of them, John H. Rerick, also signed the book and added his ink stamped name to it. There was a Doctor John H. Rerick that I found in a search that served during the Civil War for the 44th Regiment Indiana Volunteers Infantry that was a rather famous individual as he was also the Editor and Proprietor of the LaGrange Standard for a period of 40 years. I do not know if this is the same man and it would take more research to find out. The gilded lettering on the spine still has an attractive look to it and the book has colored page edges. Shipping and handling to any of the lower 48 states is $8.00 and will be paid for by the winning bidder. If you are an international buyer, I only ship internationally through the Ebay Global Shipping Program. Thank you for looking at this very collectible book!

"The Life Of George Washington" by Washington Irving 5 Volumes (1856-1859)
Some slight foxing on the front few pages of each volume. Light wear on the bindings. I'll be happy to send more pictures upon request. It's a really nice set! Washington Irving’s Life of George Washington(published in five volumes in 1856–59) was the product of his last years and remains his most personal work. Christened with the name of the great general. Irving was blessed by Washington while still a boy of seven, and later came to know many of the prominent figures of the Revolution. In these pages he describes them using firsthand source material and observation. The result is a book which is fascinating not only for its subject(the American Revolution) but also for how it reveals in illuminating detail the personality and humanity of a now remote, towering icon. Here is an intimate portrait of Washington the man, from Virginia ... moreyouth to colonial commander to commander-in-chief of the patriot army to first president and great guiding force of the American federation. But one cannot read Irving’sLife without marveling at the supreme art behind it, for his biography is foremost a work of literature. Charles Neider’s abridgment and editing of Irving’s long out-of-print classic has created a literary work comparable in importance and elegance to the original. George Washington, A Biography, Neider’s title for his edition of Irving’s Life, makes the work accessible to modern audiences. The extensive introduction provides a detailed analysis of Irving’s life and times, and the difficulties he faced as he worked against his own failing health to finish what he felt was his masterpiece. This new edition of the superb biography of America’s first citizen by America’s first literary artist remains as fresh and unique today as when it was penned.
