Account of Louisiana, Providence imprint John Sibley, c.1804 [SIBLEY, John (1757-1837)]. An Account of Louisiana, Laid Before Congress... Providence: Heaton & Williams, n.d. [1804?]. The rare Providence edition of a popular compilation on Louisiana, laid before Congress during its consideration of the ratification of the Louisiana Purchase Treaty. The principal author was probably John Sibley, who corresponded with Jefferson on the region. The fact that editions are recorded from Philadelphia, Wilmington and Carlisle, Pennsylvania in 1803 attests to the American citizenry's widespread interest in the newly acquired territory. Howes L-3; Sabin 14279. 18mo (162 x 94mm). (Some light staining and toning.) Contemporary sheep-backed marbled boards (some light wear). Provenance: R. M. Dean (contemporary signature on flyleaf).
