Title: Sporting Adventures in the New World; or, Days and Nights of Moose-Hunting in the Pine Forests of Acadia Author: Hardy, Lieut. Campbell Place: London Publisher: Hurst & Blackett Date: 1855 Description: 2 volumes. xii, 304 + 16 ad; viii, 299 + [1], 24 ad pp. With color lithographed frontispiece in each volume. 7¾x4¾, original blindstamped tan cloth with gilt vignette of a moose on front covers, spines lettered in gilt, bright blue endpapers. First Edition. Bruns notes "much about fishing in both volumes. Hardy was a fly fisherman." He calls the book rare, and while the copy he describes was rebound in half morocco, he admits a copy in the original cloth would be worth more. The color lithographed frontispieces are quite rare. Bruns H 71. Lot Amendments Condition: Slightly darkened spines leaning a bit, light edge wear, tiny stains; hinges tender (and possibly glue repaired), mild foxing; else very good. Item number: 169132
