Publication: New York & London, Columbia University Press, 1966

Formatting: 8vo, pp. xii, 459.

Condition Report: Very Good. The binding remains remarkably tight and square, with the quarter green cloth and patterned paper boards presenting cleanly and brightly. The gilt lettering and Columbia crown motif on the spine are notably crisp and unoxidised, retaining excellent shelf appeal. Internally, the text block is predominantly clean, though there is some light, scattered foxing and age-toning confined to the text block edges.

Catalogue Note: This is the 1966 first edition of Robert C. Black III's comprehensive biography of the early colonial figure, complete with a frontispiece portrait of John Winthrop the Younger (reproduced courtesy of Harvard University). The volume is smartly presented in the publisher’s quarter cloth over patterned paper boards, a robust binding typical of mid-century university press productions.

While scholarly studies of colonial American history are well-represented on the market, clean first editions that retain their binding integrity and crisp spine gilding remain desirable for reference and institutional collections.

A detailed and engaging biographical study of John Winthrop the Younger, one of the most dynamic and influential figures in seventeenth-century English America. Serving as the Governor of Connecticut and a founding member of the Royal Society, Winthrop was a man of extraordinary breadth, a pioneering industrialist, physician, and scientist who left an indelible mark on the colonial landscape. Robert C. Black III provides a meticulously researched narrative that illuminates both the personal intricacies of Winthrop's life and the broader historical currents of early New England.

Book Condition Guide

We stock thousands of books in a wide range of conditions. To make things clear and to help you know exactly what to expect, Please refer to these condition categories to understand the condition of the book you will receive.

Condition	Description
New	A brand-new, unread and professionally handled book. Carefully preserved from publication to purchase, these books are offered in the best attainable condition. This grade applies to recently published titles that have not entered long-term storage.
As New	The book is in pristine, original condition as if just published. No signs of use or handling. The dust jacket (if present) is equally flawless. This grade applies to any book that has remained untouched in storage for years.
Fine	The book is close to As New. It remains bright and attractive, but could show minor imperfections to the boards and/or dust jacket (if present). Its pages are typically clean and unmarked.
Near Fine	The book has a number of small flaws, i.e. slight rubbing to the edges, or tiny chips or creases to the dust jacket (if present). Its pages may have faint marks, or creases that are barely perceptible — nothing that detracts from their overall condition.
Very Good	The book maintains its structural integrity, and has no major flaws such as tears to its binding or pages. It may, however, show signs of careful use, handling, or storage — small marks and creases, light foxing. Its dust jacket (if present) remains fully intact, but small tears may be present.
Good	A book that remains intact and readable with complete text pages, but shows moderate signs of wear and use to both the book and dust jacket (if present). It may have noticeable creases, nicks, or stains, and the spine likely shows fading, bumping, and rubbing. There could be writing, underlining, and other marks on some pages, though the majority will be clean and tidy.
Fair	A book with significant wear or damage. The text pages will be complete, but there may be heavy underlining, highlighting and staining throughout, and the book’s endpapers, half-title, and copyright pages could be damaged or missing. The binding could be loose, and the dust jacket (if present) may have notable scuffs or tears. These copies are usually of interest for content, signature(s) or scarcity.
Poor	A heavily worn book whose value lies in its complete and legible text. A poor book will have substantial defects — loose joints or hinges, detached covers, loose and/or missing pages, and could be heavily soiled. A poor book is also known as a reading copy, and although compromised, can hold historical or bibliographic significance.
