Viticulture and Oenology Booklets.
Various: 1866-1903.
Octavo with eleven pamphlet volumes, mostly in original wrappers, bound together in blue cloth with handwritten spine label featuring seven of the eleven titles. Text is predominately in French, with two volumes in English. These are rare volumes that cover topics related to viticulture and oenology, specifically wine production, but also include a report on federal protection to American commerce and a French price guide to historic coins and medals. Blue cloth with some rubbing, small white mark to the cover, and mild foxing to the end pages, otherwise very good. ~ 1. Manning, J.F. Federal Protection to American Commerce.
