Thick 4to. xix, errata leaf,356pp followed by 2pp. index and 66 (of 67) maps, charts and diagrams. Ex-library with a library stamp on the title page. Library binding in sturdy tan buckram, printed spine titles. House of Representatives 34th Congress, 3d Session, Ex. Doc. No. 18. The lacking diagram is No. 62 ('Map of Magnetic Dip and Intensity'). Text block dampstained at lower right, left and upper right, the intensity decreasing toward the interior. Nearly all of the folding maps have had a professional reinforcement on the reverse at the folds. Aside from this, all maps and diagrams are in very good condition, most with light browning at the folds. No dampstains are noted on the maps or diagrams themselves except for the last three (diagrams 65-67), which have stains on the outer edges. There are no library markings noted on the maps. Overall a good example of a scarce item, with the important maps (including California, Washington and Oregon) in very good condition.

Elephant folio (17 x 18.5') Twenty-six maps, most of them double page; 25 are sectional, one is a full page index map. Some of the maps have notes on them signed by members of the commission in facsimile. New leather spine and corners, but retaining the original black pebble-grain cloth and gilt title. The title page has old marginal tape repairs, and lacks a small piece from a lower corner (no loss) else is very good; the maps themselves are in very good to fine condition. The title has a sticker indicating it is Senate Document 162, 58th Congress, 2d session. The purchase of Alaska by the U.S. began the border dispute, which was not resolved until 1903 by this Alaskan Boundary Tribunal. Leather renewed, as indicated above; original cloth has some wear, staining, and repairs, and the boards have a slight yawn, else the binding is very good.
