Signed books from Millard Fillmore's personal library: History of the Great Reformation of the Sixteenth Century in Germany, Switzerland, &c. by J. H. Merle D'Aubigne, Volumes I-V. Published in New York by Robert Carter & Brothers, 1843-1853. Signed on the title page of each volume in ink, "Millard Fillmore, March 26, 1857, Rebound April 16, 1860, J-5." In pencil, Fillmore has crossed out the "J-5" bookshelf designation, replacing it with "G-1." Autographic condition: very good to fine, with some scattered staining and foxing to title pages. Book condition: G/None, with edgewear, staining to boards, rubbing to spines, and general wear; the front hinge of Volume V is cracked and fragile, and the front board of Volume III is completely detached, and at one time was crudely repaired with tape (remnants of which remain). Fillmore had each book attractively rebound in black morocco over olive green boards, spines in compartments with four raised tooled bands, lettered in gilt “D’Aubigne’s / Reformation” and volume number in Roman numerals in two compartments.
