6717152 pp. 8vo orig. pink printed wrappers bound in attractive modern marbled wrappers. From the upper wrapper: "Perthes & Besser Buchhandlung Hamburg 1816." Following a nine-year apprenticeship Friedrich Christoph Perthes 1772-1843 established his own book business in 1796. Two years later he entered into a partnership with his brother-in-law Johann Heinrich Besser 1775-1826. They soon became one of the leading publishing and bookselling firms of northern Germany. During the Napoleonic period Perthes experienced many difficulties caused by his public resistance to French influences and was forced to leave Hamburg. This remarkable priced catalogue lists about 3000 books published in Britain and France from 1812 to 1816; it is quite incredible to imagine the quality and range of the stock of foreign books held by Perthes & Besser. Pages 1-77 list the British books; pages 81-149 the French books and pages 150-52 list about 60 books published in North America including Lewis and Clark's recently issued History. Perthes & Besser also sold British scholarly journals. Rare; WorldCat lists one copy in North America. unknown books

186119902New York: Currier & Ives 1861. Hand-coloured lithograph by Charles Parsons signature in image. Expert marginal repairs. Sheet size: 22 1/2 x 32 inches. Image size: 17 1/2 x 27 1/4 inches. A magnificent Currier & Ives portrait of one of the premier yachts in the New York Yacht Club: the yacht that beat the "America" in her speed trials.<br/> <br/>The Stevens brothers listed in the title were members of a prominent American family their father had served in the American Revolution. John Cox Stevens was one of the founding members of the New York Yacht Club the first Commodore and one of five sponsors of the "America" the yacht that went to England in 1851 and won the race thereafter known as the America's Cup Race. His brother Robert L. Stevens designed the "Maria" which beat the "America" during the series of speed trial races to Sandy Hook prior to the latter's epoch-making trip to England. The "Maria" was one of the most beautiful yachts in an era of exceptionally beautiful boats: an icon amongst American yachts. It was estimated that the Stevens spent a total of $100000 on experiments and alterations involving Maria in the 22 years that she was in the family. A 1914 article in the New York Times described her as "a scientific racing machine the first of her kind" cf. NYT 17 May 1914.<br/> <br/>Conningham 6805; Gale 7360. Currier & Ives unknown books

1852WRCAM16070Nashville 1852. Two volumes. viii374 i.e. 376; vii376pp. plus thirty-one plates. Later three-quarter black morocco and cloth spines gilt. Corners lightly worn. Ownership inscription on verso of each frontispiece bookplate on rear pastedowns. First volume with ink stamp on pastedown and titlepage. Lightly foxed. Some light wear and soiling. Very good. A very rare complete set of this interesting and important Tennessee periodical containing all twelve articles entitled "Early History of the Southwest" which constitute the main interest of the magazine for modern readers. After the magazine ceased publication with the December 1852 issue the editors followed their intention stated in their last editorial and gathered all of the narratives into a book issued in January 1853 entitled INDIAN BATTLES MURDERS SEIGES sic AND FORAYS IN THE SOUTH- WEST. ".This was a collection of narratives by various authors. These had appeared separately as articles in the SOUTH WESTERN MONTHLY MAGAZINE printed in Nashville during the years 1851-52. The magazines are considered frontier periodicals of extreme rarity - the 1853 book.is all but unobtainable. Apparently few copies of the book were printed judging from the very few times one finds records of its sale." - Allen. The actual first appearances in print of all of the items in the book are the periodical versions. <br> <br> Articles include "Sketch of the Captivity of Col. Joseph Brown" "The Indian Massacres in the Vicinity of Bosley's Spring." "Indian Murders around Nashville - Narrative of John Davis Esq." "Scalping of Thomas Everett and his two sisters near Buchanan's Fort." "Indian Battles and Murders - Narrative of General Hall" "Perils attending emigration from Virginia to the West.burning of Sigler's Fort. Narrative of John Carr" "The levy of men sent out from North Carolina.narrative of Mr. Samuel Blair" "Narrative of John Rains" "Massacre at Cavet's Station." Virtually all of the narratives describe Indian fights in Tennessee between the 1780s and the War of 1812. <br> <br> An important rarity of Indian warfare on the Old Southwest frontier. This set has a remarkably large number of plates; other sets we know of have far fewer. All seem to be remainders from New York publications used as illustrations without regard to text.

1775WRCAM54968London: Printed for R. Sayer & J. Bennett 1775. Copper-engraved map with original color. Two insets along the right side titled "Plan of Boston Harbour from an Actual Survey" and "Plan of the Town of Boston with the Attack on Bunker's Hill in the Peninsula of Charlestown." Plate mark: 18 1/4 x 21 1/2 inches. Sheet size: 21 1/4 x 27 1/4 inches. Expertly conserved with a few instances of renewed color. In very good condition with large margins. A rare and dramatic Revolutionary war map of New England showing George Washington's troops marching on British-occupied Boston with a large inset plan of the Battle of Bunker Hill showing Charlestown in flames: among the earliest pictorial representations of the Battle of Bunker Hill. This copy is printed on a large full sheet with ample margins. <br> <br> Published by Sayer & Bennett shortly after news of the Battle of Bunker Hill reached London the map celebrates the British victory in the battle but gives a portent of the impending siege of Boston and the eventual Battle of Dorchester Heights. The general map of New England provides a backdrop for illustrations of American troops most notably including the "march of General Washington" in western Massachusetts but also showing militia marching from New Hampshire Connecticut and Rhode Island all converging on Boston. Two smaller insets along the right side of the map each printed from a separate plate depict a general plan of Boston Harbor and a plan of Boston and Charlestown showing the Battle of Bunker Hill. <br> <br> This latter inset is quite dramatic and of great significance. Charlestown is shown under attack by British forces with the town in flames as British warships bombard it from the water and a British battery fires across the Charles River from Cornhill in Boston; the locations of the British and American forces on Breed's Hill are shown as the two armies face each other in battle. In Boston a large encampment of British regulars is shown on Boston Commons surrounding the Liberty tree. The inset would later be re- engraved and used in Newcastle and Boston editions of Murray's IMPARTIAL HISTORY OF THE WAR. <br> <br> It is believed that the inset is a graphic representation of information on the battle derived from a June 25 1775 letter written by General Burgoyne to Lord Stanley: <br> <br> ".Howe's corps ascending the hill in the face of entrenchments and in a very disadvantageous ground was much engaged; and to the left the enemy pouring in fresh troops by the thousands over the land; and in the arm of the sea our ships and floating batteries cannonading them: straight before us a large and noble town in one great blaze; the church steeples being of timber were great pyramids of fire above the rest.the whole a picture and a complication of horror and importance beyond any thing that ever came to my lot to be witness to." <br> <br> Sayer and Bennett published this letter as a broadside on November 27 1775 nearly two months after this inset illustrating it with a different plan of the battle. <br> <br> The earliest cartographic representation of the Battle of Bunker Hill is an August 1 1775 plan published by Jefferys and Faden titled "A Sketch of the Action between British Forces and the American Provincials on the Heights of the Peninsula of Charlestown." That map however purely shows military movements. The inset to the present map is the second printed plan of the battle and considered to be the first pictorial representation. This map was produced on September 2 1775 a scant two- and-a-half months after the crucially important actions it depicts. It is remarkable that such detailed news was transmitted from New England to London and published in such a magnificent cartographic representation in so brief a period of time. Not in Nebenzahl's ATLAS OF THE AMERICAN REVOLUTION which reproduces a later version of the inset on page 55 or Phillips. <br> <br> An exciting important rare and early map of the American Revolution.
