Native American Interest, 1759

[Bruce, Alexander.] AN INQUIRY INTO THE CAUSE OF THE PESTILENCE. IN THREE PARTS. Edinburgh: for Millar, London; A Kincaid and J. Bell, Edin., 1759. 12mo. [2], 112, 154 pp. Disbound. *********** Includes several lengthy sections on Native Americas, including a detailed listing of various tribes giving their locations and any details known or believed to be true. This work was also printed with a variant title over an S. Bladon imprint in the same year; the pagination is identical in both (priority between the two unknown.)
Condition Report: Faint small withdrawal stamp to lower margin of first page and some early ownership signatures, title soiled and with light chipping to fore-margin; final leaf with strengthening near gutter, a short closed tear, and with chip to corner removing a couple of letters (chipped portion laid in for future restoration.) Some light foxing or similar minor blemishes. Very faint ink-stamp to page 101 in Appendix. As-is. Certainly worthy of having bound.
