This book has interesting provenance. The book bears the inscription of \"John A Rogers, Texana Texas.\" This is theJohn Alexander Rogers, Jr. who was a courier for President Jackson to Stephen S. Austin and Sam Houston. In 1837 he was in the Republic of Texas Army. On the title page is a gift inscription, \"presented to J A Rogers, Texas Parrish St. Marys 1837\". In 1837 Texas was a Republic and not yet admitted to the United States. In the center of the title page is an old ink gift inscription from John Du Hart to D Williams. An old faded stamp at the top of the title page is from J A Rogers Texas.

A nice copy of this scarce work.
