AMERICAN RAILWAY REVIEW; Public Works, Engineering, Steam Machinery, Finance and Patents; 11 Weekly Issues...
New York American Railway Bureau, Hard Cover Hardbound Folio ,-[30cm]
bound in marbled boards, faux leather spine, 11weekly issues consisting of Vol. III, No. XV, Oct. 18,1860 to Vol. III, No. XXVI, ,Jan 3, 1861: each issue is illustrated, including many illustarted adverts in each issue. The spine is perished, boards are worn. This constitutes 6 months of the weekly issues but someone has used the first 15 or so issues as a scrapbook, pasting , newspaper clippings over the pages of the periodical. Only the last 11 issues escaped this vandalism and they are clean and unmarked. I believe this publication was established in July 1859 and expired in 1862.
