IV.—GARDEN’S ANECDOTES OF THE REVOLUTION (both series). The author,
Alexander Garden, was Major in Lee’s Legion—and his work is one of
the best on its theme. The first volume was published at Charleston,
in 1822; the second in 1824. Each is scarce and valuable, the second
particularly so. I propose revising the text, to eliminate errors,
and to issue my edition in two octavo volumes (6 × 9) with a number
of illustrations, including one or more of the author, and one each
of the brothers Pinckney (not heretofore published), and a number of
landscapes.
The edition will be limited to 200 copies (6 × 9) and 50, large paper
(8 × 11)—the former in cloth, gilt top, with paper label; the latter
in charcoal boards, gilt top, and untrimmed edges. The prices will be
$10.00 and $15.00 respectively.
N. B.—All these works will be printed in large type (Small Pica, same
as this line) on fine paper, well bound and produced in the general
style of my other publications. Address, William Abbatt, 281 Fourth
Ave., N. Y.
