Howes B-532. Limited to 250 copies. Sabin 5899 states that only 250 were printed of which 50 were large-paper copies. There is no limitation page but as Sabin was the publisher of the book we will trust his assertion. It was printed by Joel Munsell as shown by his JM-monogrammed insignia on the title page and edited for publication by Franklin B. Hough 1822-1885 usually remembered more for his work with the US Forestry Service than for his limited edition histories of key moments in the Revolutionary War and of towns in the Adirondacks. unknown
