William Halley

1876

xv, 586, [6] pp. Illustrated with wood engravings, including advertisements. Original tan cloth. First Edition.

"Leaves of advertisements have been incorporated throughout this book, which have not graced the work; but despite this undignified feature the contents form the best source of authority that we have for the history of this county." The ads, while perhaps "undignified," offer insights into East Bay society perhaps as valuable as the printed text.
