A rare edition, with the original wrapper, of what was likely all that was issued of the American quarto edition. In an article about the lithographer, E. Jones, Harry T. Peters described the work as comprising a "cover and six plates," though he likely mistook the lithographed title-page for the cover. The lithographed wrapper contains a different design than the lithographed title-page, and both were executed by E. Jones. The edition was apparently printed from new stones. The Siebert copy lacked the printed wrapper and was one inch shorter. Exceedingly rare, the present copy is the only copy we trace at auction in over 50 years.
