Rare 1816 Antique Book Gulliver Redivivus Travels Sea + Land By Baron Munchausen

  
GULLIVER REDIVIVUS: OR THE CELEBRATED AND ENTERTAINING TRAVELS AND ADVENTURES, OF THE RENOWNED BARON MUNCHAUSEN, BY SEA AND LAND: INCLUDING A TOUR TO THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA IN THE YEAR 1803. Philadelphia: Key & Mielke, 1816. Book is in rough shape but keep in mind the date. Upper joint split, spine chipped, some pages loose.

The editor of the American Munchausen took a heavy pen to the original and changed each edition to align with the news of the day. Quite a few of his own additions remind us of the harmless tall stories of the original versions; but many others are vitriolic and libelous attacks upon Jefferson and Democracy, upon quackery, and humbug, upon personal and political enemies of the author. We need pay no heed to the author's claim to being an Englishman.

He was doubtless one of the satirical writers in the Federalist camp, and... In all probability Thomas Green Fessenden. Owned by several people as names are on inside.

Owned by the following as written. Annette Manfredo Boyle but name not in book. Some pages that are missing have photo copy of page.

I don't want to continue to handle this book to check on pages as it is fragile and the more I handle it may affect the integrity of the book. I originally had it for 199.00 I m marking it down to to the fact I found some pages missing.

It appear to be a lot. From a smoke free home. Please see all my antique and vintage books. Says RARE book Yale has.

University of Illinois at Urbana per slip manual Arts Rousseau, Peoria. Please see photos for condition. They are part of the description.

Make me a reasonable offer.
