Description

Sewell, Ferris & Co. METROPOLITAN BANK NOTE REPORTER AND COUNTERFEIT DETECTOR. Volume I, No. 19 (New York, June 15, 1859). 4to, original printed paper covers. 36 pages. Spine neatly restored. Housed in an archival sleeve within a custom-made folder. Near fine. An intriguing counterfeit detector. The orange paper covers of this copy advertise the New England edition, but the title itself is the New York edition. Dillistin (page 104) discusses this title as coming under the ownership of Gwynne & Day perhaps one year later. This is the only copy we have handled that pre-dates the Gwynne & Day publication of the same name. Ex MJS Library.
