Seller's Description:
Large quarto in forest green cloth lettered in gilt. The second edition (first trade edition). 22 pps. Heliotype photographic plates, four folding tissue maps. Presented as a letter to Judge Daly, President of the American Geographical Society, Horsford offered this as a defense of an attack on his "Discovery of America by Northmen". A respected chemistry professor at Harvard, Horsford had something of a mania about early Norse discovereis and setlements in North America; many of his writings and maps were criticized at the time and have since been disproven but the basic theory of Norse exploration of American half a millenium before Columbus. An exceptionally bright, clean example.
