"The writings of Mr. Fenimore Cooper. flow from a fountain more copious than any other opened, until now, on the same soil; it is believed that no author this side of the Atlantic has written so fully. A long succession of works possessing merit in themselves, reaching to so large a number, and covering, in their composition, so long a period of time, must always possess a degree of importance which cannot belong to ant isolated book. Each work, in a series of this nature, appears not only in its individual character, but also as a member of a group;." (S.F.C.) Illustrated with forty engravings, with tissue guards, by W. E. Marshall, R. Hinshelwood, J. D. Smillie, J. McGoffin, L. Delnoce, J. Duthie, J. Mc Goffin, and many others. Binding with some scuffing along edges and one inch closed tear at top of front joint.
