Seller's Description:
First published in three volumes in 1808. 8vo. 316, (4, index) pp. Howes A-352: "Interesting in spite of its snarling asperity and numerous lies." Sabin 2180 (quoting Edinburgh Review): "An unmeasured hatred of the Americans pervades the whole of [the] narrative. His account of the Atlantic states forms the most comprehensive piece of national abuse we ever recollect to have perused. Their inhabitants it seems are all abominably vicious, but in degrees: the middle states being bad, the northern very bad, and the southern execrable." Clark Old South II, 134: "Enlivened by misrepresentation and exaggeration, Ashe's account is interesting and highly readable." Engraved bookplate of J.T. Pocock on front pastedown. Very good. Later brown boards, black spine title, all edges marbled. (9129).
