TITLE: "The Dawn of Liberty"

By William Dana Orcutt, et al.
Published in Boston by the Americana Society: 1918. Edition limited to 250
numbered copies.

DISCUSSION: William Dana Orcutt contributes a stirring if slightly
over-awed introduction to this collection of Prime Americana- the texts of
the Mayflower Compact, the Declaration of Independence, George
Washington’s First and Second Inaugural Addresses, and Washington’s
Farewell Address.

DESCRIPTION: Hardcover. 6.5”x9.5”, xii + 74 pages, plus 4 black & white
tipped-in plates with tissue guards.

CONDITION NOTES: Original grey and white cloth, covers moderately worn and
soiled. Paper a bit brittle, and split from the gutter for the top inch or
so of the first three pages.  If handled with care, the pages will not
secede from the binding for many years to come. Presentation inscription
from its publisher, Boston bookseller and onetime owner of the Harcourt
Bindery, Thomas W. Best, to historian and author Joseph D. Sawyer.

PRICE: $250.00
