by William H. Prescott

Full Title: History of the Conquest Of Peru with a Preliminary View of the Civilization of the Incas

9 x 6. In English. Published by Phillips, Sampson and Company, Boston, 1858. Early edition. Two volumes. Complete. Calf over marbled boards. Five raised bands. Gilt titles to red and brown morocco labels. Minor to moderate shelf wear to boards and hinges. Bindings tight and secure. Sharp corners Spines rather unblemished. Marble pastedowns, endpapers, and text block edges in fine condition. No bookplates or ownership markings of any kind. Not ex-library. Title pages rather foxed from frontis engravings, otherwise an excellent copy internally. A sound and very pleasing set, the text quite smooth and clean. Heavier than a typical book of this size. (The image of the author we included on our website is NOT in the book.)

First published in 1847, “The History of the Conquest of Peru” was a companion piece to “The History of the Conquest of Mexico.” Readers will follow along with famous explorers like Francisco Pizarro and Pedro de la Gasca as they wage war against the native tribes and establish cities that have lasted to this day.
