(WHALING.) Swift, Daniel L.F. Journal as third mate on a Pacific whaling voyage. 43 whale stamps and an ink drawing of a ship. [64] manuscript whaling log pages plus [10] pages of poetry in a different hand. Folio, 13 1/2 x 8 inches, original 1/4 calf, worn; the first 24 pages later used as a scrapbook in the late 19th century, with all but 2 pages of clippings removed but still partly illegible, a few leaves worn with moderate vermin damage or detached, 22 to 30 September 1848 leaf partly excised, lacking entries from 24 December 1848 through August 1849, several blank leaves excised from end. Professional conservation of paste residue would probably increase legibility. Vp, 27 May 1848 to 17 March 1850
