(The Art of Verifying Dates, from the Year 1770 to Our Days: Forming the Continuation or Third Part of the Work Published, under this Name, by the Benedictine Religious of the Congregation of Saint-Maur. Volume 16 - Historical Chronology of the Americas.)

This volume gives a time-line history of THE ANTILLES, CUBA, JAMAICA, MARTINIQUE, GUADALUPE, MARIE-GALANTE, SAINTES, DESIRADE, PUERTO RICO, TRINIDAD and BARBADOS. It is one of the scarcer volumes in the series.

PARIS: Chez l'Éditeur (Marquis de Fortia), 1837. FRENCH TEXT.

Lacking covers, 5.5x8.5 inches (14x22 cm), 538 pages.

POOR but COMPLETE Condition: Lacks covers and blank endpapers, early and latter pages and signatures are loose, entire text block is shaky and tender, first few pages are creased and show lots of edgewear not affecting text, various signs of edge wear to the deckled page edges, toning to first and last pages, &c. NONETHELESS, the pages are complete, and surprisingly bright, clean, clear and unmarked.

This important early chronological history of the islands in the Caribbean is RARE and worthy of rebinding.
