History of North-Carolina From The Earliest Period. Complete Two Volume Set.
New Orleans, Louisiana: Printed by A.T. Penniman & Co., 1829. 2 volumes: xii, 325, (1), civ [i.e., cxiv]; (2), 411, (1) pp. Half-titles; errata for each volume. Hardcover, rebound in brown library buckram with embossed gilt titles on spine. Both volumes are Ex-Lib. with rubber-stamp mark on title page and bottom edge of text block.
An important early history, the first devoted entirely to the state, by the prolific lawyer-historian Martin. The set seems to be quite scarce; Jumonville locates five copies only. This was issued the same year as the author's history of Louisiana. Books from this period in such original condition are most unusual. Howes M333. Jumonville 671, 672. American Imprints 39436
