Andrews New Conquest

Multiple Authors: The Chronicles of America (50 Volume Set with Dustjackets) Yale University Press 1921
Verry Good/good

Beautifully cared for set, made even more special by the existence of their rather scarce dustjackets. This is the blue extra-illustrated set and is so attractive it's likely that its owners preferred to exhibit the volumes on their shelves minus the rather pedestrian grayish brown jackets.The set is clean and nice, gilded on the top edge and with most jackets crisp and fresh, though they have all browned at spine. There are a couple with glitches -- one has a chip at left front near spine,one has a chip and a tear to lower front, two show spine tears, one has been nibbled at front spine and fore-edge,and one shows darkening and a few spots of foxing to face. But with these exceptions the jackets are truly remarkable. The books themselves are crisp and bright, but quitea few do show a loss of gilt in spots at top edge.The titles included are by different authors, so we will enumerate them all as follows: Woodrow Wilson and the World War, Charles Seymour; Pioneers of the Old South, Mary Johnston; Adventures of Oregon, Constance Lindsay Skinner; The Paths of Inland Commerce, Archer B. Hulbert; The Reign of Andrew Jackson, Frederic Austin Ogg; The Boss and The Machine, Samuel P. Orth; The Old Northwest, Frederic Austin Ogg; Washington and His Comrades In Arms, George M.
