It is very rare to find the 1876 version of this book. This is the even rarer still 1874 first edition, first printing. I have taken this book to several antiquarians and they agree that the annotations throughout the book were done by the author, George Perkins Marsh.The book is in very good condition for its age. It is complete and has the original binding. There is some wear to the binding - see photos for details.Shipping is FREE to U.S. domestic destinations.Given the rareness of the book, I will ship by priority mail to U.S. and international destinations. The shipped weight is 3 pounds and insurance is required.I reserve the right to end the auction early and sell to the highest bidder.Money order or check is preferred but paypal  is acceptable as well. Your payment should be mailed within 12 hours of the close of the auction. Thank you. Place a Bid!
