Duncan, Booksellers, 1795. 2vols only, both signed by Confederate Captain Sally Louisa Tompkins with one also being signed by her brother Confederate Colonel Christopher Tompkins, being volumes 2 and 4 only, of an 8-volume set (full 8vol. matching set available in store), full calf hardcovers w/gilt titling to spines, Good +/n.a., 12mo (6.8125x4.250?), v.2, 360pp.; v.4, 406pp. Bindings are well chipped and rubbed but totally intact, vol.2 having both boards temporarily reattached with treated tissue paper to joint and inside hinge, repairs being easily reversible should one desire to do so. Texts showing occasional chipping, tearing, and candle drips, 1? hole in one of the front free fly-leaves of volume 2, presumably to remove dripped candle wax, volume 2 missing tail-band, volume 4 missing headband, light age-toning, staining occasionally throughout. All books are readable and intact as is, but wanting full restoration, should one be of the inclination. Ensconced in a leather covered wooden box for safe keeping, which is included. A remarkable and distinctive Capture of Tyme ? quite rare indeed.
