Item #19910

A very interesting copy with the signature on the title of Gidion Lathrop, Lake Champlain who has written in the area under the preface which describes “the engraver Mr. S. S. Jocelyn, of New Haven, a young man of twenty, almost entirely self-taught, evinces talents, deserving of encouragement” “I knew Mr. Jocelyn in Stockport 1854-The Father of Mr. Josep Wild.” Mr. Lathrop has annotated many margins with comments. On page 401 he wrote that he was the captain of the Steam Boat Congress in 1826. He travels from Hartford, through Lennox, Albany, the Lake George regions, Lake Champlain to Quebec, Montmorenci and Montreal and returns via New Hampshire, Vermont and Massachusetts where he encounters the New Shakers.
