Washington: Robert Armstrong, Printer, 1853. Hardcover. 2 vols. [text volume and separate thin map volume]. Text volume: xix, 906p. plus [1]p. errata at end. Original cloth (looks like light plum to us). 24 cm. Backstrip faded as is the top four centimeters on front cover. Generally sound and clean with some modest age-toning in text and a piece of right torn gone on one leaf.. Piece of right margin torn out on one leaf. Senate. 32d Congress. Ex Doc. No. 112. Map volume: Contains 4 large uncolored folding maps. Maps generally sound and clean with just a little foxing and minor splitting at some fold junctions.. No title-page or text, presumably as published. Cover title on map volume: Maps Andrews' Report. Original dark cloth (looks like moderately faded black). These two volumes came to us separately which probably explains why the covers have differently colored cloth bindings. Andrews, a naturalized American citizen who was born in New Brunswick, served as U.S. Special Diplomatic Agent to Canada, 1849-54.He also served as U.S. Consul General in Toronto, 1855-57. The Canadian-American Reciprocity Treaty of 1854 eliminated tariffs on raw materials and natural products.That treaty was terminated by the United States in 1866, partly because of increased protectionist sentiment in the USA. The four large folding maps are :(1) Map of the Railroads in the United States, in Operation and in Progress (103 x 110 cm.); (2) Map of the Eastern Portion of British North America, including the Gulf of St. Lawrence, and Part of the New England States (68 x 119 cm.); (3) Map of the Straits of Florida and Gulf of Mexico (71 x 89 cm.); and (4) Map of the Basin of the St. Lawrence, showing also the Natural and Artificial Routes between the Atlantic Ocean and the Interior of North America (92 x 190 cm.). Very Good. Item #95960
