1st Edition Mutterings and Musings of An Invalid 1851 Frederic Townsend HC Good

John S. Taylor, 1851. Antiquarian first edition cloth bound hardcover of Mutterings and Musings of An Invalid by Frederic Townsend.

The anonymous author of this book was Frederic Townsend (1825–1906), a prominent American figure from New York, known for his careers as a Brigadier General in the Union Army during the Civil War and as the Adjutant General of New York State.

Mutterings and Musings is exactly as advertised--an introspective work that captures the thoughts, reflections, and philosophical musings of a man confined by illness.

Good condition. Covers lightly soiled. Light staining to the back cover. Light pencil markings inside the front cover. Spotting to the pages. Back of last printed page has light note in pencil.
