Additional Details



The prospectus on the rear wrapper of the first part modestly states "that no publication of the kind has ever been attempted in the country on a scale so large, with design so liberal, and with results so magnificent. [The publishers] offer it to the American public as not only the greatest and fullest exposition of our country that has yet been made, but as a monument of native art worthy the genius and reputation of our people." Arents, page 68.
