Pennsylvania Archives: Selected and Arranged from Original Documents in the Office of the Secretary of the Commonwealth , Comformably to Acts of the General Assembly, February 15, 1851 & March 1 1852 by Samuel Hazard. Commencing 1790, with an Appendix.
Published 1856, Philadelphia by Joseph Severns & Co.
482 pages. Text in English. Six (very) large folding lithographed maps (we show five of them).

Attractive antiquarian 1/2 leather binding, gilt title lettering on contrasting red & black leather labels, smooth spine, marbled covers.

Book is physically old and shows some signs of handling and time. 

Binding age worn but still appealing, leather and joints dried, scuffed and rubbed, front cover essentially detached (held only by two binding cords), remains overall attractive as a mid-19th century object.

Text block paper is gently age toned as typical, internally book remains mostly clean, tight and sound. A book which has been taken care of but may/ does not look like new.

Still attractive on the shelf. Book displays a pleasing and unique age patina and is in rather nice antiquarian condition, any age flaws seem easy to overlook or forgive. 

Please review photos for more detailed attempt to present this rare book as it survives. 

We often over-describe any flaws that many sellers would not even bother to mention since most people would overlook them as minor and unworthy of comment. Many people tell us the books they receive from us are nicer in person than they appears on the screen. We want you to be clear about what you are buying, so we take numerous photos and try to describe it openly and honestly.
