$850 · Offered by William Reese Company

NOTES ON THE FLORIDIAN PENINSULA, ITS LITERARY HISTORY, INDIAN TRIBES, AND ANTIQUITIES. A presentation copy ("To Dr. J.V. Ingham with the compliments of the Author") of this charming intellectual and ethnographic history of Florida, published by the dean of American bibliography, Joseph Sabin, and written by an early expert on Indian mythology. "An appreciative survey of the State by a young student and future anthropologist, based on his own extensive reading and a visit to the State in the winter of 1856-57....While not the first bibliography of Florida, Brinton's work is by far the best of its time" - Servies. Servies also doubts the veracity of the common understanding that only 100 copies were printed.
