LYELL, Charles (1797-1875).: — A Second Visit to North America. Third edition.

London: John Murray, 1855. Two volumes, 8vo, 19.8cm. Vol. 1: pp. xii,368. Vol. 2: pp. xii,385, 11 figures in text, index. Original blind-tooled pebbled green cloth, gilt title to backstrips, fore- and upper edges uncut. Very slight fraying to top of backstrips, fine set otherwise. - The second and third editions are less common than the first edition of 1849. Judging by exactly the same pagination these seem to be unaltered re-issues of the first. "These are filled with fascinating comments on the American social and political scene, particularly on the slavery question, as well as geological observations." (William E. Eagan). - [phd.182]
