Philadelphia: Printed for the Author by Merrihew and Gunn, 1836. 1^st edition. 56 pages. First published serially in several successive issues of the National Enquirer (not THAT one) and then collected and published in pamphlet form. The original pamphlet was subsequently bound in three quarter leather over marbled boards. Presumably, the original pamphlet had a cover; however, the pamphlet that was encased begins with its title page. If the original pamphlet had a cover, it is no longer present. The pamphlet has some relatively minor age-toning. Faint signs of past handling can be detected on the binding; however, the evidence is subtle. Overall, text and binding are NEAR FINE to FINE.
