IRVING, WASHINGTON. A History of the Life and Voyages of Christopher Columbus.
IRVING, WASHINGTON. A History of the Life and Voyages of Christopher Columbus. Folding map, torn at folds with some loss and rebacked. 3 volumes. 8vo, contemporary marbled calf; foxing; early owner's signatures on front pastedowns. New York, 1828
- Notes: first american edition, nearly contemporaneous with the 1828 London first edition. A handsome set of Irving's first major historical work. Irving took some liberties with the evidence, leading to a persistent myth that 15th-century Europeans had believed the Earth was flat. BAL 10124, Sabin 35169.
