Hitchcock, Longhborough, July 1845 on Frontis. Stamped ownership of M. F. Lobo on inside front wrap. 175mm. Original full blue paper wraps. Some loss at tail of spine. Moses Finzi Lobo was born in Bridgetown, Barbados, West Indies (1834). He came to Philadelphia about 1845, and lived there until his death (1904). He was a respected journalist, scholar, author, and leader in community affairs. His skill and knowledge of shorthand was exceptional, and he was frequently called upon to record scientific addresses, and other important events. He served as private secretary to the Superintendent of the Mint, before resigning that post to engage in literary work. We feel fortunate to be able to present Short-Hand books owned by him. **PRICE JUST REDUCED! SHORTHAND
