Richmond: Press of the Dietz Printing Co, 1934. Hard Cover. Very Good+ binding / Very Good+ dust jacket. Item #10967
Octavo. xxxv, [1], 767, [3] pp., plates, maps, facsims. First edition, number 153 of 1000 copies. In publisher's cloth with striking cloth dust jacket; all plates are present as called for. This is a remarkably bright copy in a similarly sharp dust jacket; very light toning to the fore-edge of the textblock towards the end of the book; spine of the cloth jacket is a bit dulled.
Initially a more ambitious project, this first volume was the only one published by Nugent for many decades until in the late 1970s the project was resumed by others using some page proofs from a second volume that was started by Nugent but never seen through the presses. Several additional volumes were seen to fruition by Denis Hudgins. First edition copies of this first volume are quite uncommon in commerce despite a fairly large printing.
