Excerpt
from the Preface: "Many histories and pamphlets have in the past, been
published on Montreal. This one is different from them all in the
arrangement and immense amount of new historical matter which is placed,
not in a continuous history, but in that of the different streets,
where the events occurred; and it is illustrated by a larger number of
governmental, civic and other buildings as found therein than in any
other work ever published." Includes 22 pages of contemporary advertisements. 288 pp. plus Index. 8vo. Re-bound in deep green cloth cover with gilt title to spine. Hinge crack at p 176. Browning pages. Glossy paper. Has usual ex-library artifacts (eg. stamps, catalogue number). First dozen or so pages have tape repairs as shown. From Here to Infinity Gallery operates from an historic 1840's building in beautiful downtown Brockville, Ontario. Purveyor of the unique, the gallery also operates an archive holding thousands of historical negatives and photographic prints as well as an eclectic collection of antiquarian and fine books, ephemera and other interesting paper and historically viable items. |
