Description: This rare 1836 edition of "The NORTH AMERICAN READER" by Lyman Cobb, A.M. is a valuable addition to any collection of Americana. The leather binding and 1st edition status make this book a unique find for bibliophiles. The book was printed in Baltimore by Cushing And Sons and is an original, not a facsimile. The book covers a range of topics related to American (US) history and culture. It is written in English and contains special attributes by many of the most notable authors of the time, some who were also the esteemed leaders of our new country the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. Written just a few years after the founding of our country and the signing of the Declaration of Independence along with the Constitution of America. This book is extremely fragile and must be handled with the utmost caution and respect. That it has survived for 188 years with the text still complete and legible makes this a most valuable item for collectors. This book is a must-have for anyone interested in the history of North America and the evolution of the English language. Not only does this book contain writings by popular authors but it also has a section containing the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution of America. I have tried to show in the photos some examples of the notable figures in our history but there is just too many. The wear and tear of the 188 years that caused the damage to this book did not damage the legibility of the writings of any of the notable authors that contributed to this historical work.
