The article presents an examination of the book bindings on three volumes of pamphlets that belong to the American Antiquarian Society's Mather library.

The author compares the bindings of all three volumes in order to determine who most likely completed the work. The author examines the style of binding, the paper used and the printing that makes up the pamphlets.
