(first edition: 1875) 184 pages Hardcover, brown cloth with gold lettering on the spine, brown end paper in front and back, mesh exposed slightly at title page, a few pages loose (but not coming apart), some foxing. First owner's signature, date and an older ownership stamp on first page. Spine presenting some rubbing and a few scratches, top corner of spine is damaged (see pictures). The edges of the cover are rubbed. Tight binding. Good condition giving the age of the book. This 184 pp. book on Prince Madoc or Madog ap Owain gives some unique First Nation American lore here. Out of context the story of the son of Owain Gwynedd is seen as unlikely at best but Prince Madoc's Irish Viking side has Iceland and Newfoundland relations easily overlooked.
