Philadelphia: Carey, Lea & Blanchard, 1836. Hardcover first edition - Only one volume of 4 published anonymously by Cooper (the first two volumes were published as Part I and the second two were published as Part 2.) Written in the form of letters and describing Switzerland in 1828, although the final letter is a description of a visit to Milan. Cloth with a paper label on the spine. 236 pages. Very uncommon.

There are scattered underlinings and marginal lines throughout. The previous owner's name is written in pencil on the rear endpaper, and underneath that is a penciled description of how this book was found. Laid in are a couple of sheets with some notes about the family of the original owner.
