The newspaper is regarding the Qajar ruler Naser Al-Din Shah's trips in the country. 4 complete pages approximately 13"x 8.6" in size. <br/><br/>The first newspaper ever printed in Tehran was published in 1837 with only three issues printed from May-August 1837. The first lithographic book to be published in Tehran was in 1838. However as one observer to Tehran reported in 1843 the lithographic press in Tehran "remained mainly idle". Berezin p. 248. In the latter part of the 1840s the State Printing House began its work; and was operative until the end of the first decade of the 20th century. As of February 1851 the first Persian regular official newspaper was printed there. Early into the 20th century the lithographic press was being forced out by typeset printings and from 1911-on the official newspapers in Iran was printed typographically. Encycolpaedia Iranica online ed Our Qajar newspaper from 1882 is a rare example of the very early lithographic printing to take place in Iran before the switch to typographical printing. Small paper loss to top right corner of margin does not affect the text. Overall in very good condition. unknown books

1851WRCAM40376Primarily at sea 1851. 34pp. in a highly legible hand. Folio. Dbd. Lightly foxed. Several pages torn out. Doodles on blank versos of some leaves. Good. First-person narrative of a young man's sea voyage from Boston to Palermo and back. Though serving as a hand the young man seems to be of fairly good breeding and education having determined to teach himself the art of navigation while on board and often waxing poetic and sentimental. Departing on Oct. 21 1850 the author says the ship is "a very good looking vessel" and that the Captain and mates are "very fine men;" regarding the rest of the crew he says: "I have not been with them long enough to judge of their characters as yet." While his journal is filled with weather and wind and resetting the rigging it also has very contemplative passages: <br> <br> "At eight PM I went to the wheel it was a beautiful night the full moon shone in all her glory casting a mellow light on all around so light was the breeze that it scarce ruffled the surface of the Ocean our ship was gliding through the water with scarcely any perceptable sic motion ah who would not go to sea were it always thus. I have been thinking of home and friends this watch which I may never see again but I hope before many months are passed I shall return to my native land and grasp the hand of friends once more." <br> <br> He writes often of seeing friends and home again and of spending his future days more profitably than his past ones. On Nov. 18 he turns twenty and writes: "I must say that but a small portion of that time has been spent as it should have been but it is passed and cannot be recalled and I have only to try to do better in future and hope for success." The ship arrives at Palermo on Nov. 30 and the crew are let ashore on Dec. 8 having finally passed quarantine. The author writes at some length about Palermo and the sights seen including the King's gardens and the catacombs "where are the remains of some twenty thousand people of both sexes and all ages from the infant to the gray headed old man." But for all the sights of Palermo he is nevertheless eager to be underway again for home. One of the tasks the crew has been set to is the painting of the ship which the author finds quite enjoyable: "We have been painting the spars today which is hard work but I have a fancy for painting so I have got along very well." <br> <br> Impatient to be home he is not sorry when they set off from Palermo on Dec. 21: "I do not think I shall regret leaving here though I have nothing in particular to complain of respecting the town or the inhabitants." Light winds hamper their return journey and at times the ship is entirely becalmed. When they finally reach Gibraltar on Jan. 14 squalls are upon them and they have to anchor there for some days. While in port the author begins to be peevish with the Captain: <br> <br> ".the Capt. has found plenty of what I call humbuging sic or unnecessary work for us to do it seems strange to me that a man professing to be a gentleman should stoop to such low acts of meanness merely to show his authority and gratify a malicious spirit but so it is with some who wish to exercise a sort of tyranny over those who have not the power to defend themselves however we shall soon be on an even footing and can say and do as we please and then I shall express myself more freely." <br> <br> Things eventually settle out though with the Duchess arriving in Nantucket on Feb. 22 1851 ending the journal. An interesting and personal account of a trip to sea. unknown books
