Very handsome, slim volume originally owned by a public library, but only indication of same is one sticker affixed to front pastedown and a single stamp to a page edge. The sticker is actually interesting, as it provides the reader with the two rules of the library! Book is SIGNED and inscribed at front free endpaper thus: "To Thomas C. Zimmerman Esq. with the compliments of Charles Henry Jones, June 10th 1903." Book has royal blue cloth boards with gilt at face. Spine and corners are covered in beige cloth. Beige portions show light soiling and a little softeness to upper corners. Tissue over illustration at frontis is missing, but those over other illustrations are present. Two small paper tears were repaired by me with almost invisible, nonbrowning archival tape. 32 pages highlighting the military feats of the subject who was born in Ireland, emigrated to America and was a merchant sea captain, an officer in the Continental Navy and a privateer. The author was a journalist of the day.
