Fold-out facsimile map of "The Town of Boston" to Vol II. From the dust jacket: "A document of unusual interest in America's history, by the famous New Englander of colonial times.

From the massive occult collection of King Lawrence Parker - academic, dissertation author, and book collector extraordinaire. Both volumes are in very good condition, with firm binding; Parker's bookplate to inside front board and embossed stamp to title page; interior is clean and free of markings. The upper text block of both volumes appears to have been stained slightly by the teal boards, but it does not affect the interior pages. Dust jackets show normal wear, with rubbing - they retain their original prices.
