[COOPER, James Fenimore]. THE HEADSMAN; OR, THE ABBAYE DES VIGNERONS. A 
TALE. Philadelphia: Carey, Lea & Blanchard, 1833. First Edition. Two 
volumes in the scarce original blue paper boards with white paper 
shelfback and printed paper spine labels. BAL 3861, each volume with a 
catalogue bound at the rear, state B (undetermined sequence) of the 
catalogue at the rear of the second volume; Spiller & Blackburn 17. 
Preceded by the London edition. Paper loss to the head and heel of the 
spines, worse on the first volume where the loss extends farther 
affecting the spine label, still mostly readable. Boards of the second 
volume a little loose but cords still strong. Small piece torn from 
front endpaper of first volume, most likely to remove an owner's name.
