100 pp. (18mo) 13.5x8 cm (5½x3½"), period calf-backed boards, spine label. A signature on the final page of text appears to be that of the author. Stephen Burroughs was a thief, a counterfeiter and a convicted criminal. His exploits began during the Revolutionary War when he ran off to join—then depart—the Continental Army three times at the age of 14. By the time he was 33, he had lived and misbehaved vigorously enough to make up the first version of his autobiography. So far, Memoirs of the Notorious Stephen Burroughs has been published with slightly differing titles in more than 30 editions over a span of more than 200 years. This is the rare 1810 edition.
