Quarto. index, v, blank, 36. Bound with a unpaginated one-sided, possibly typescript index of approximately 116 pages. Bound in brown buckram and stamped in gilt. This is a listing of all the Real Estate in the State of New York to be sold for arrears of Quit Rent (also known as Property Tax) in 1822. The true color of the book is not reflected in the photographs.

Condition: Binding solid and hinges secure. Book is warped top to bottom and shows signs of damp on the back cover and last few pages. Smells like an old book, but not musty to my old nose.  A good, solid reference book in fair condition.

Those who do genealogy strictly through the internet have missed out on the glories and serendipity of research the old way.  Ease has replaced dogged determination.  A quality library has been replaced by a few ones and zeros.  Here’s your chance to check out genealogy the old way. These books are disappearing and once gone are gone forever.
