BidProwl Summary
J.W. Baker's 1817 first American edition of moral philosophy and natural theology, published by David Longworth in New York, featuring full leather binding and library bookplate, listed as very good condition. Antiquarian dealers and collectors pursue early American philosophical texts for resale to institutions and private libraries, or as inventory for specialized shops. Before bidding, personally inspect the binding integrity, leather condition, page foxing or stains, and whether the bookplate significantly impacts value, since the library designation and inspection warning suggest potential issues beyond what's disclosed.
