Hall, Thomas. A DESCRIPTIVE LIST OF THE COPPERS ISSUED BY AUTHORITY, FOR THE STATE OF CONNECTICUT, FOR THE YEAR 1787. Boston: Privately printed, for additions and corrections, 1892. 8vo, original black half calf and maroon sides, gilt. 58 pages. First 16 pages with corresponding reverse page numbers filled in by hand in ink. Binding worn at extremities; hand-lettered spine label affixed with tape; interior near fine. Of legendary rarity, the Hall work was intended as a sort of checklist to be distributed among a select circle of fellow collectors. With the benefit of their comments and additions to the list, a published version of the work was to be published—but it never reached fruition. The original leather binding used poor materials and most copies are either in well-worn condition or have been rebound. An unprepossessing volume, it appears that only a dozen or so examples have survived. Ex Louis E. Elisaberg, Sr. Library; ex Richard A. Eliasberg Library.
