1840s American Blank Class Note Book with Decorated Covers of William Penn.

The front features a stirring array of printer’s ornaments and a  
reproduction of the famous painting “William Penn’s Treaty with the  
Indians”, with the note that the tree under which it was signed was  
blown down in 1812 (actually 1810) and “A monument has lately been  
erected on the memorable spot”. That monument was erected in 1827 by  
the Penn Society, dating this to the 1830s or 1840s, depending on how  
literally “lately” is to be taken, and allowing for successive  
printings from the same blocks. The back features a helpful  
multiplication table.  Decorated paper covers. 6”x7.5”, 16 blank  
leaves. Covers with wear and soil, crease, small hole goes through the  
cover to the first leaf. Some light foxing and soil to the blank  
internal leaves.  [53319]  $65
