Description: Laws and Regulations for the Militia of the State of South-Carolina, Directed to Be Presented to Each Commissioned Officer, by the Legislature Published: From the Press of Timothy and Mason, Charleston, (SC), 1794. FIRST EDITION. 188, (5) pp. Engraved frontispiece and eight engraved folding plates (each of the eight in this copy being defective, most with at least a folding panel missing). Sabin 87696. Evans 27720 and 27976. Turnbull I, pp. 305 and 309. Gould & Morgan 1074 (Library of Congress, Harvard, New York Historical Society, South Carolina Historical Society, and two defective copies, at New York Public and South Carolina). OCLC adds another copy (U.S. Military History Center). Exceptionally rare in the trade, with no copies recorded at auction for the past 39 years (ABPC, 1976-2015). Early owners' names on endpapers, uniform light foxing to text, each of the eight folding plates sadly defective, as described above; otherwise a solid copy. Contemporary calf (rubbed), leather spine label, ornamental rules on spine. A rare 18th-century South Carolina imprint, with only five recorded complete copies. Incredibly scarce in any condition! Not Ex-Lib. I've done my best to describe the book, but if you have additional questions, please don't hesitate to send me an e-mail.
