1796AMO-432Paris, Rue des Poitevins, chez le citoyen Aubry, Directeur 1 volumes in-folio ( 45 x 30 cm), du n°101 (1er janvier 1796 - 4 germinal an IV) au n°221 (30 avril 1796 - 11 floréal an IV), bien complet des feuillets de supplément pour les n°184 et 220. Soit 120 fascicules de 4 pages chacun (480 pages + feuillets de suppléments). Reliure de l'époque demi-parchemin de réemploi, titré à la plume au dos, plats de carton gris. Usures d'usage, ensemble solide. Intérieur en bon état, quelques déchirures et galeries de vers sans gravité. Le papier est de qualité inégale, parfois blanc mais souvent gris et épais, ceci étant dû aux difficultés d'approvisionnement en papier durant cette période post-révolutionnaire. Panckoucke, l’éditeur de l’Encyclopédie méthodique publia tout d’abord La Gazette nationale dans le format in-folio et fut le premier éditeur d’un « papier-nouvelles à la manière anglaise ». La Gazette devait contenir les débats de l’Assemblée constituante, les événements de politique intérieure et extérieure, en transcrivant en entier les actes publics, diplômes, traités et autres documents authentiques. Dès le premier numéro, paru le 24 novembre 1789, les débats de l'Assemblée, comme les actes du pouvoir, furent retranscrits fidèlement et sans commentaires grâce à la sténographie. Il résulta de cette exactitude dans la publication des informations que le Moniteur universel reproduisit, dès l’origine, les faits accomplis avec le sens et les couleurs que lui donnaient les acteurs eux-mêmes, portés tour à tour au pouvoir ou à la tête de la majorité en fonction des différents régimes politiques. « Le Moniteur, dit Montlosier, a eu pour principe de se laisser emporter dans toutes les directions du mouvement révolutionnaire ; il a eu ainsi, selon qu’elles se sont succédé, les teintes monarchique, constitutionnelle, girondine, jacobine, impériale. » Cette diversité successive de tous et de couleurs fait précisément l’intérêt et la valeur du Moniteur comme répertoire historique. (source : Wikipédia) Ce journal est une source de documentation irremplaçable pour servir à l'histoire de la révolution française. BON EXEMPLAIRE.

1783WRCAM43063Boston: Benjamin Edes and sons 1783. 4pp. Folio. Old fold lines. Minor foxing and soiling. Very good plus. THE BOSTON GAZETTE published weekly was established in 1719 as a competitor to the BOSTON NEWS-LETTER and ran for nearly a century 1719-1798. From April 1756 to December 1793 it was published with the additional "AND COUNTRY JOURNAL." During the American Revolution the GAZETTE was a leading publisher of material protesting British taxes and anti-British sentiment. Contributors included such notable personages as Samuel Adams Phyllis Wheatley and Paul Revere who also did the engraving on the masthead. <br> <br> This issue from the end of the American Revolution contains a lengthy article written by "Grotius" on the evil of a federal impost and the rights of states to be independent. He writes: "For the general court to pass an act which they consider in its nature irrepealable thereby giving Congress the power of levying imposts of the property of this state.is 'delivering up the people to the subjection of a foreign power.'" Power assigned to Congress by the Articles of Confederation - or the lack thereof - would be hotly debated eventually leading to the creation of the U.S. Constitution in 1787. It also contains news from the front including an extract from a letter by General Greene to Congress announcing the flight of the British from Charleston. A nice piece from the Revolution.

177065841Boston: Printed by Edes & Gill 1770. Broadsheet supplement to the Boston-Gazette 15 x 9 5/8 inches printed both sides in three columns imprint at bottom of the final column of text the verse filling the first column and almost all of the second the balance of the supplement taken up with interesting ads. Prints an anonymous elegy of 138 lines to the Rev. George Whitfield who had died on September 30 in Newburyport Massachusetts where he was buried; the verses were first published in New York in Hugh Gaine's New York Gazette on Oct. 19 and are preceded by a long paragraph of text describing Whitefield's accomplishments and character sent to Gaine by the author of the verses asking that they be published. First lines: "When in this country's cause a warrior bleeds / The grateful muse records his mighty deeds." Final lines: "No single death in Britain's spacious realm / With equal grief could Zion overwhelm." Whitefield 1714-1770 made seven trips to America 1738-1770 usually spending two or three years there preaching in the colonies; said to be the first to preach to slaves he was memorialized in a famous poem by Phillis Wheatley. Moderately browned folded tape repaired at head of vertical fold some rubbing to several lines of text. <br/><br/> Printed by Edes & Gill unknown books

1737WRCAM55322Philadelphia: Andrew Bradford 1737. 4pp. illustrated with two woodcuts in the masthead and four maritime woodcuts in the text. Folio printed on a single folded sheet. Minor foxing and edge wear marginal stabholes along central vertical fold two short repaired horizontal tears. Very good. A rare issue of the first newspaper printed in Philadelphia and in fact the first American newspaper to appear outside Boston. THE AMERICAN WEEKLY MERCURY was founded by the pioneering Philadelphia printer Andrew Bradford in 1719. As would be expected this issue contains news from both Great Britain and the colonies. The first page contains a Parliamentary dispatch regarding the production of iron in the American colonies "where it is capable of being produced in every respect equal in Goodness to the best Iron from Sweden." and a report of a shipwreck off the coast of Bristol. Also included is shipping news from Boston and Philadelphia along with almost twenty advertisements containing information on ships for hire runaway servants trade services debt notices real estate offerings and more. <br> <br> Most notable among the advertisements are three relating to slaves. The first advertises for sale "A Likely young Negro Man about Seventeen that has been in the Country some Years and had the Small Pox." The second seeks return of a runaway "Servant Man named Patrick Burk a Saddler by Trade.of small stature brown Complexion short black Hair mark'd with the Small Pox." The last advertisement in the paper touts for sale "Very good Houshold sic Goods of all sorts: Also divers young Negro Boys and Girls all Born here." <br> <br> Andrew Bradford was the fourth printer in Philadelphia and the son of William Bradford the first printer there and in New York. The younger Bradford became Philadelphia's sole printer when he returned there in 1713 and remained so until Samuel Keimer arrived in 1723. He immediately obtained the lucrative contract to print the colony's laws and produced the first collected volume in 1714. He also published works on his own account including almanacs religious works broadsides the second edition of CONDUCTOR GENERALIS and the present newspaper. Bradford published the MERCURY from December 1719 until his death in 1742 though it was continued by others until 1749. <br> <br> Issues of THE AMERICAN WEEKLY MERCURY or any early 18th-century American newspaper rarely appear at auction or in the market.
