Octavo. 92pp. The Gilpin brothers ran the Brandywine Paper Mill and Robeson ran the Darby Mill, both in Pennsylvania in the early 19th century. The sample sheet of early watermarked paper, folded once, is so large that the octavo-sized book is housed with it in a folio-sized cloth box with a pocket to accommodate it. Numerous watermark illustrations, printed in red, are shown throughout the text, along with a tipped-in sample of Gilpin paper from a printed book. A fine copy in red cloth-backed printed paper over boards. Previous owner's bookplate laid in.
