LYNCH, W. F. NARRATIVE OF THE UNITED STATES' EXPEDITION TO THE RIVER 
JORDAN AND THE DEAD SEA with a Fine Inscription by Jerusalem Mayor Teddy 
Kolleck. Philadelphia: Lea and Blanchard, 1849. First Edition. Large 
octavo (6" x 9-1/4") in original gilt-decorated cloth; xx, [13] - 508 
pages (+40 pages of catalogue/ads at rear). Illustrated with 2 folding 
maps and 28 full-page wood engravings. This copy of Lynch's account of 
the first succesful navigation of the Dead Sea is especially interesting 
for its November 1963 SIGNED INSCRIPTION on the front endpaper by 
six-term Jerusalem mayor Teddy Kolleck to John D. "Jack" Jernegan, the 
United States Ambassador to Iraq (1958-1962) and Algeria (1965-1967): "I 
hope the times when there is 'nothing left for the U.S. Navy to do' but 
to sponsor scientific expeditions described in this book will return in 
our life time. Please accept this volume as a memento of your visit." 
Rebacked retaining most of the original spine. A very clean, tight, Near 
Fine copy. (#017408)        $350.00
