Wraps. Zustand: Good. Illustrated wraps. Pagination runs 33-64. A later issue of this magazine, (only five volumes were published, the last number being July of 1856), devoted to literature and history relating to the American West, including Ohio, Kentucky, Illinois, etc. It changed editorship/ownership a few times, and according to The Magazine of Western History, Volume 8, at most 3000 copies of any issue were ever published. This issue contains a piece by J. Bryson Burrows describing Southern plantations, "planters" and African-Americans working and living on the plantations. Burrows is lavish in his descriptives for the manners and looks of the planters, but heavily embraces stereotypes in his description of the lives of African-Americans, despite his apparent distaste for the practice of slavery. GOOD condition. Magazine cropped close along the margins. Covers toned and soiled, with some staining. General wrinkling to the covers. Chipping and loss to the wrapper along the spine.

Hardcover. Zustand: Fair. See photos for condition details. Hardcover, brown cloth boards blank stamped on front and rear, gilt to spine. The exterior shows quite a bit of wear, particularly on the front exterior hinge which shows multiple splits, spine edges frayed, corners and edges show bumping and wear. Spotting and soiling is also present. The interior shows quite a bit of use as well, the front pastedown contains an old advertising plate from a Baltimore bookstore. There's also penciling, arithmetic, along with some old pricing penciled. The rear end page and pastedown shows additional arithmetic, although it is partially erased. A dampstain is present starting around page 221, skipping most of the advertisements, but reappearing on the rear pastedown and end page. The pages show different degrees of toning and foxing, mainly due to the different types of paper used in the printing process. The date on the title page states 1860, and the date showing on the copyright page appears to read 1860 but it is most likely 1858. It is difficult to read because of a typesetting error. The book itself is very readable despite condition issues.
