This incredible first edition set of John Marshall's biography of George Washington is a true collector's gem! The original full leather bindings have held up beautifully over two centuries, with only minor foxing on the portrait and title page in Volume 1. While Volume 3's binding differs slightly, all five volumes remain tight and in excellent condition for their age. Owning these historic 1804-1807 volumes feels like holding a piece of American history in your hands - the definitive early account of our first president's life by one of his contemporaries. A must-have for serious collectors of early American literature and presidential history.
