Note 1274 — Chapter VIII · (continued 2)

Brinley, ii. no. 4,189, a copy which brought $560. Though described as in “the original marble wrapper,” it did not have a map, as the copy noted in the Carter-Brown Catal. (iii. 1,033) does, though this may have been added from the London reprint of the same year, which had “a new map of the country as far as the Mississippi.” This map is largely derived from Charlevoix. Trumbull, in noting this reprint (Brinley, ii. 4,190), implies that the original edition did not have a map, which may be inferred from what Washington says of its being put hurriedly to press, after he had had only a single day to write it up from his rough notes. This London reprint is also in the Carter-Brown library (iii. no. 1,034), and Thomson’s Bibliog. of Ohio (no. 1,187) records sales of it as follows: (1866) Morrell, $46; (1867) Roche, $49; (1869) Morrell, $40; (1870) Rice, $52; (1871) Bangs & Co., $28; (1875) Field, $30; (1876) Menzies, $48. The Brinley copy brought $80. Cf. Rich., Bib. Amer. Nova (after 1700), p. 105; Field, Indian Bibliog., no. 1,623; Stevens, Hist. Coll., i. no. 1,618; F. S. Ellis (1884), no. 310, £7 10s. Sabin reprinted the London edition in 1865 (200 copies, small paper), and other reprints of the text are in Sparks’s Washington, ii. 432-447; in I. Daniel Rupp’s Early History of Western Pennsylvania, and of the West, and of Western Expeditions and Campaigns, from 1754 to 1833. By a gentleman of the bar.
