BidProwl Summary
1817 Noah Worcester philosophical treatise on war and peace, full leather binding, tight binding with no foxing per library cataloging. Collectors of rare 19th-century American religious and political thought, antiquarian dealers, and academic institutions typically seek these early 1800s editions for direct use or resale. Before bidding, verify the leather condition in person since salvage designation contradicts the fine condition claim, check for water damage or odors beneath the binding, and confirm page completeness and legibility given the age.
