Original green printed wrappers, stabbed and sewn, hand-lettered on spine (a few small spots or stains, chipping with minor losses to spine ends, upper corner lower wrapper torn away with loss); green cloth folding case. Provenance: Josiah Quincy Jr. (1802-1882) Mayor of Boston (gift inscription to); Daniel Pinckney Parker (1781-1850) Boston merchant, shipbuilder and businessman; Henry Tuke Parker (1824-1890) member of the Royal Geographical Society (signature); John W.

FIRST EDITION. Josiah Quincy Jr. was President of the City Council of Boston when the invitation was extended to John Quincy Adams to deliver a eulogy in memory of James Madison.
