"Thomas Hosmer Shepherd 1792 - 1864 war ein britischer Aquarellmaler bekannt vor allem für seine detailgetreue Darstellung von Gebäuden oftmals mit lebendigen Straßenszenen die Menschen Pferde und Kutschen zeigten. Er arbeitete in London und später in Edinburgh Bath und Bristol. Seine Zeichnungen waren Vorlage für zahlreiche Stahlstiche die auch Bücher illustrierten. Shepherd arbeitete hauptsächlich für Frederick Crace 1799 - 1859 einem Innenarchitekten und Kommissar für Kanalisation. Ursprünglich sollte er die Gebäude festhalten die kurz vor dem Abriss standen. Er zeichnete dann aber auch die Neubauten. Shepherds Bilder liefern heute den Forschern Hinweise auf das Bauwesen die Architektur und Geschichte im 19. Jahrhundert. Heute sind viele dieser Zeichnungen Bestandteil der Crace collection im British Museum aber auch durch ein Einzelwerk das den Lesesaal zeigt. Die private Sammlung von Friedrich Crace 1799 - 1859 kam zum Britischen Museum durch seinen Sohn John Gregory Crace im Jahr 1878. Die Kollektion besteht aus rund 1200 handschriftlichen und gedruckten Karten und Ansichten aus London von 1560 bis 1860." Wikipedia. Shepherd "was one of the most esteemed watercolourists of his day. An industrious painter and draftsman Shepherd produced a wealth of images illustrating street scenes and old buildings in London. His handsome paintings combine a natural quality attentive to detail making them some of the most appealing views of the metropolis . which he executed with great truth and accuracy."

1843012082Boston: David H. Williams 1843 Boston: Williams 1843. First edition. 8vo. Quarter-leather 523. Calf over marble boards leather spine labels. Bookplate of Dr. Joshua Green. Contains several articles on the Treaty of Washington also known as the Webster-Ashburton Treaty. The Webster-Ashburton Treaty signed August 9 1842 settled the dispute over the location of the Maine-New Brunswick border between the United States and Great Britain and the shared use of the Great Lakes. It also reaffirmed the location of the border at the 49th parallel in the westward frontier up to the Rocky Mountains originally defined in the Treaty of 1818. It also called for a final end to the slave trade on the high seas to be enforced by both signatories. The Treaty was signed by United States Secretary of State Daniel Webster and United Kingdom Privy Counsellor Alexander Baring Lord Ashburton. A plaque commemorating the treaty was placed at the site of the old State Department building in Washington D.C. where the signing occurred. The Treaty is responsible for two geographic oddities. First since Fort Montgomery a U.S. fort in northeastern New York had been constructed on Canadian soil the border between Maine and the St. Lawrence was adjusted to 3/4 of a mile north of the 45th parallel this placing the abandoned fort on U.S. soil. Second the incorrect assumption in the Treaty of Paris that the source of the Mississippi River lay north of the Lake of the Woods would result in the enclave of the Northwest Angle being part of the U.S.This treaty marked the end of unofficial fighting known informally as the Aroostook or Lumberjack's War along the Maine-New Brunswick border and resolved issues that had led to the Indian Stream conflict as well as the Caroline Affair. The border was fixed with the disputed territory divided between the two nations. Also as a result of this treaty portions of the western U.S.-Canada border were adjusted so as to be consistent. It gave the U.S. negligibly more land to the north; iron ore was later discovered on this land. The Creole case was passed over by both nations. The treaty was an unforeseen bonus for the United States. The British in adjusting the US-Canadian boundary farther west lost a vital area to the US that contained the priceless Mesabi iron ore of Minnesota.

1857345827New York: D. Appleton and Company 1857. First Edition. 193 1 6pp. Ads in the rear. 1 vols. 8vo. Publisher's dark blue cloth blocked in blind upper cover lettered in gilt very minor fading to spine. First Edition. 193 1 6pp. Ads in the rear. 1 vols. 8vo. "When the Wilmot Proviso against slavery in the territories acquired from Mexico produced angry debates Benton denounced the proviso but he also refused to support the southern demand for territorial expansion. He insisted that slavery where it existed was in no danger while geography climate and the opposition of existing territorial populations would prevent its expansion. Though a slaveholder himself Benton described the institution as an incurable evil preserved only by racial fears and animosities. He hoped that it would ultimately disappear but meanwhile he prayed that it would never be expanded . In 1857 the Supreme Court in the Dred Scott decision ruled that the federal government could not bar slavery from any federal territory. Benton answered this ruling with a 192-page Historical and Legal Examination of the Dred Scott Case 1857 which glorified the Union appealed for sectional peace and denounced the decision as bad constitutional law" ANB.

18038981Albany: Printed by the Author 1803. Hardcover. Fair. The book is covered in a calf or buckskin wrapper sewn to itself in a zig-zag pattern over the paste-downs. The covers appear to be card and not wood. Oblong 13.25 cm 5 1/4 x 8 1/4 inches lacks all free end papers. VIII. 1-72 81-104. Defective: lacking the 4 center leaves. 6 leaves of manuscript music in round notes sewn in at back with the tunes Cambridge Ascension China North Salem Watchman Exhortation Littleton and Savannah. "Published according to Act of Congress." The first edition was "Engraved for the Editor by Abner Reed Lansingburg 1795" with viii. 104 pp. A second printing was issued in 1802 using the same plates. Reed was also the engraver of this tunebook identified at the bottom of the Index page.The Second Edition 1804 had a new title "The New York & Vermont Collection of Sacred Harmony." It also had new pagination: viii. 9-15 1 112. It has this prefatory note: "Hitherto known by the title of the 'New-york Collection' since it has been printed by the Author's own hands have induced him to present to the public this second Edition enlarged and corrected."The printing offered to you here has the same page numbers as the 1795 & 1802 printings uses the same plates with the change in the imprint to "Printed by the Author." Since the 1802 printing had the Lansingburg imprint and the Second edition of 1804 has a changed title & pagination and with the note by Atwill that he had been printing copies "with his own hands" we deem this an 1803 printing unrecorded. This printing is not in Britton & Lowens American Sacred Music Imprints 1698-1810 where the first & second editions are recorded in detail.The Index claims that the following tunes included here were "never before published." Andover Addison Amanda Brookfield Boston Etna Gratitude Hillsborough Millennium Messiah Poughkeepsie Pardoning-Grace Pomfret Ripton Sounding Joy Suffering Saviour Spain Troy Torringford Pobsfield Westpoint Warren and Anthem from Isa. 1st.Thomas H. Atwill 1760-1814 b. Pittsfield MA; d. Rutland VT. "A contract dated Feb. 9 1801 between the firm of Thomas and Thomas Isaiah Thomas's brance in Walpole New Hampshire and Thomas H. Atwill for the printing of Atwill's New York and Vermont Collection specified that Atwill pay the firm $600 over the period of a year for 4000 copies of his work. He was also required to furnish the paper! Since this tunebook was printed from engraved plates supplied by Atwill and not music type the $600 figure apparantly represented only the labor and binding costs." - Karl Kroeger Isaiah Thomas as Music Publisher American Antiquarian Society.With a signed provenance card from the collection of A.
