Author: Umfreville, Edward; W. Stewart Wallace (Ed.)
Title: The Present State of Hudson's Bay
Description: Toronto, Ryerson Press, 1954. First edition. Hardcover. pp. xv, 122. Slim 8vo. Fold-out tables, black & white plates. Very slightly wear to the corners of the boards, neat former owner's rubber stamp to ffep, contents very clean and umarked; very good/near fine in slightly darkened & soiled, otherwise good/very good dustjacket with a piece excised where the spine label would have shown through, and there is some tape at the top. This is volume 5 in The Canadian Historical Studies Series, published by Ryerson under the general editorship of Wallace, who contributed an introduction and notes to this title. This is the first reprint of this very important historical document since it was first published in 1790. Although nominally an ex-library copy, it is little marked as such, and its provenance is certainly unique. .
