Manuscript Eulogy for George Washington written by a Military Man Delivered to his Fellow Soldiers in Arms circa February 22 1800

31263N.p. Anonymous 1800 small quarto 22 manuscript pages on laid paper no watermark tied with ribbon not original through two of three slits front wrapper detached but present entitled: "In Eulogy on the life of General George Washington" Text somewhat worn upper right hand corners somewhat dogeared front wrapper worn and chipped rear wrap missing otherwise very good.Apparently Unpublished Eulogy on Washington by a Military Man to his Fellow Soldiers.This eulogy or oration written by an anonymous militia commander and likely read to his fellow "soldiers in arms" it extols the virtues of their fallen "Chieftain" on what would have been Washington's 68th birthday:Sample of the Text:"Countrymen & Fellow Citizens. Permit me by request your humble Eulogist to address you on this no less solemn than afflicting occasion.The Parent of our rights the Guardian of our liberties the Saviour of our Country is no more. The illustrious Washington the accomplished Statesman the intrepid Veteran has discharged the demands of nature and rests in dust. This day sixty eight years past ushered the deceased into being.How are the mighty fallen – Not as Saul and Jonathan in the field of Battle – but expired like Moses on Pisgah's Mount in the full vigour of age. …The Hero of Monongahela witnessed to the world the same magnanimity of mind through the whole course of his life as he did at the moment when he saved a shattered army from impending ruin. And millions this day mourn the loss of their mighty Chieftain dead. … He conquered not like Alexander to enslave millions but to disseminate among them the rights and privileges of men. Like Cincinnatus he took the field but to silence the enemies of his Country & like him again retired to rural repose.He was biased by no sinister motives but was entreated by the purest principles of friendship for his distressed Countrymen. And by his Patriotic exertions liberated thousands from impending thralldom… He never took to his hallowed lips the sacred name of Deity; but with the greatest reverence and awe – He united the characters of Moses and Joshua in leading and counseling the Armies of America. Like Moses he took us when to all external appearance human aid could not avail. Although he resigned not his breath on Vernon's top until like Joshua he led us into the promised land of freedom… In war he was our palladium in peace our oracle. … The moment when that the immortal sage was named to command our armies; Europe stood astonished and Great Britain trembled to the center. The knew the worth of our Chief – to them his name was a host – this they were made sensible of even to a demonstration. … With what perfect composure did he command himself at that precarious moment when flying through the Jerseys with an handful of undisciplined Militia and they upon the point of deserting him giving up their Country for loss With a voice more than human he rallied their remains - Spoke and they obeyed – and set his Country free – It was here the Illustrious Chief turned the current of the American war and rolled the tide of its baneful effects upon an exulting foe glutted with success. … Soldiers in arms Permit me to consider with you on this trying occasion and with you to lament the loss of your guide in war and friend in peace. The honorable name of Soldier ought to involve in it every thing that is great and good. The deceased War worn General whose death you are now lamenting gloried in the epithet of Soldier. Although the ages of many of you put it out of your power to be acquainted with his noble exertions yet you are reaping the advantages which his noble soul aspired to. He in his life set you an example worthy the imitation of an Hannibal. By his intrepidity he has taught you to defy death – and when your Country calls his noble pattern has declared that your lives are not your own. When his demanded his attention he was the first to appear in the midst of danger and could not bear that a soiled tongue should couple with name of coward an American Veteran. If there are any in this assembly who were present when he unfurled the banners of Independence they will declare what a torrent of anxiety swelled his benevolent soul at that initial moment. The fate of your Country the lives of you Parents and your own existences depended on that momentous event. With diffidence and a reserved dignity which characterized him above his comrades in war he took the command of our forces. He organized into a regular army a raw although virtuous yeomanry He led them on to victory. He subdued the enemies of our Country and gave peace to our American climes. Whilst the tear of sensibility steals from your cheeks in commemoration of your departed Hero; Let this conflating plea sooth the pangs of grief that his happiness is now compleat. Let his virtue stimulate you like him when called upon to tread in the paths of glory and then you will receive the plaudits of your Countrymen and rest like him in eternal Bliss." This eulogy or commemorative address is apparently unpublished. The author's allusion to New Jersey which he refers to as "here" within the text may offer a hint to its origin.

Huntington Beach Co. Scrap Book

191969California: Unpublished 1919-1922. Hardcover. Good. Hardcover scrap book with hand written paper label to front and spine. 10 1/2" by 8" by 3". Consists of 120 leaves with an almost complete run of weekly newspaper articles relating to local oil leases and associated news from Oct 1919 to Jan 1922 clipped from the Huntington Beach News and pasted into a scrap book. Newspaper evenly tanned. Book fully intact with a little toning and wear to edges. A detailed record of the early days of oil production in Southern California.On May 24 1920 the first Huntington Beach well the Huntington A-1 was brought in as a producing well. By October 1921 the field had 59 producing wells. Even with 16 of those 59 wells being idle the field produced 16500 barrels of oil equivalent 101000�GJ per day with each well producing from 50 to 200 barrels daily. The conflict of coastal oil drilling with beachfront recreation and tourism has been a central theme in Southern California politics. The discovery of oil was followed by a real estate boom in the surrounding communities. For example as the Huntington Beach Oil Field expanded the homes in that area that stood in the path of drawing oil from the ground were physically relocated north 6 miles in 1921-1922 to lots in Midway City California which "started Midway City". In addition the discovery led to the development of the oceanfront community of Sunset Beach California which was established in 1905. Unpublished hardcover

The Green Box of Monsieur de Sartine found at Mademoiselle du The’s Lodgings —From the French of the Hague edition Revised and Corrected by those of Leipsic and Amsterdam

3732887London: Sold by A. Becket . and R. Faulder 1779. Half-title 71 1 advert.pp. Bound into green gilt-lettered cloth. A very good or better copy. With contemporary manuscript annotations on two pages. First English edition of this American Revolution era political satire and bibliographical hoax. Anonymously written by Richard Tickell the text purports to publish the letters of Benjamin Franklin the â€œtrading Ambassadorâ€ with de Sartine among others and various secret state papers. The sum of it all exposes Franceâ€™s motives for aiding America and satirizes Benjamin Franklinâ€™s activities in Paris. In the margins of p69 a brief indistinct sentence is scribbled. On p51 at the end of a â€œFranklinâ€ letter this is written in a contemporary hand: "â€œWhat was the Effect strikethrough Consequence of all this silly indistinct word lined out flattery to our Ministers No-Body was concerned by it & our affairs went from bad to worse. Scarce was this Pamphlet out of the Press when Spain took part in the War & we lost indistinct word & Grenada British naval loss at the 1779 Battle of Grenada the combined Keels off Plymouth.â€" It seems unlikely that a reader writing marginalia in the spur of the moment would have struck out words and replaced them for their own private benefit. Of the subsequent revised editions that we examined none printed the above commentary. From the collection of Matt B. Jones who likely bought it from Goodspeedâ€™s â€œ1239â€ penciled beneath his bookplate. Michael Walsh wrote that Jones â€œchose things with the finest judgment. They always had to be in good condition; they had to be significant. A Matt Jones book in an American institution today is a book to be proud ofâ€¦.â€ The Green Box went through multiple editions and became popular in both England and on the continent. Ford 973 gives no priority to the so-called French original edition La Casette Verteâ€¦ or the English edition both undoubtedly printed in London. Sabin 95796. Adams Controversy 79-107g.

'Perspective'. Portfolio de manuscrits architecturaux français.

19003298France: n/a 1900. Wonderful French architectural manuscript portfolio on 'Perspective'. This appears to be a student's own manuscript and sketches from an architectural or art course. All of the contents are dealing with perspective in different forms. Some are purely mathematical such as the design and sketches of cones and other shapes. Others are examples of sketches drawn in proper perspective. The portfolio contains a large number of loose leaves. Each aspect text in French has one or more illustrations following. Many but not all of the pages have pencilled numbers to the top edge. In total there are 48 pages of text and 64 pages of illustrations / diagrams. In fact there are a few more but we have only counted "significant" pages. The paper is a little darkened and there are a few very minor closed tears to the page edge. The folder has cracking to the spine edge and is darkened and at least one of the ties is still functioning. The front has a tipped on printed illustration with the title. An attractive and fascinating piece. 330 x 255 mm 13 x 10 inches. Magnifique portfolio de manuscrits architecturaux français sur 'Perspective'. Cela semble être le manuscrit d'un étudiant et des croquis d'un cours d'architecture ou d'art. Tous les contenus traitent de la perspective sous différentes formes. Certains sont purement mathématiques comme la conception et les croquis de cônes et d'autres formes. D'autres sont des exemples de croquis dessinés dans une perspective appropriée. Le portefeuille contient un grand nombre de feuilles volantes. Chaque aspect texte en français est suivi d'une ou plusieurs illustrations. De nombreuses pages mais pas toutes ont des numéros au crayon sur le bord supérieur. Au total il y a 48 pages de texte et 64 pages d'illustrations/schémas.

Le dossier présente des fissures sur le bord de la colonne vertébrale et est assombri et au moins une des attaches fonctionne toujours. L'avant a une pointe sur l'illustration imprimée avec le titre.

1818 Alsatian folk art Taufschein with Pennsylvania-German ties chicken and egg motif

145237Bas-Rhin Alsace France 1818. Broadside approx. 10Â½ Ã— 8Â¼ inches. Ink manuscript on laid paper with red ink and pencil illustrations; watermark visible. Folded with creases light soiling irregular trimming and minor edge wear not affecting text or decoration; very good. Offered with: One-page German manuscript on matching laid paper with identical watermark also dated 1818. Folded with creases and a small perforation not affecting text; very good. Curious and crudely executed folk art this 1818 German-language taufschein baptismal certificate is decorated in ink and pencil. The text records the birth in â€œDiemringenâ€ and baptism in â€œRathsweilerâ€ likely Ratzwiller a village near Diemringen in Bas-Rhin Alsace. Fitting the baptismal theme it features a chicken and egg motif symbolizing creation and new life. The opening lines in German transcription approximate read: â€œIâ€™ve been baptized and registered The Book of Life includes me now My Father will love me eternally / And be merciful to His child / God surely knows me already for a long time / My name rests in His hand.â€ Alternating lines circles and triangles frame the text in an abstract border with the chicken and egg motif placed prominently at the top. Square blocks of color in each corner may suggest a picture frame or reference the brass bosses found on elaborately bound 18th- and 19th-century Bibles. Accompanying the taufschein is a one-page untranslated German manuscript written on matching laid paper with an identical watermark also dated 1818. Both items appear to have originated in Bas-Rhin and were acquired together from an estate in Lancaster County Pennsylvaniaâ€”an area of early German-speaking settlement. The family may have emigrated from Alsace after the post-Napoleonic upheaval of 1815 when widespread political and economic instability spurred migration. The watermark on both sheets is of the â€œVryheytâ€ â€œFreedomâ€ type used in Holland and later copied in England Sweden and the United States; see Churchillâ€™s Watermarks in Paper nos. 79â€“108. The full watermarkâ€”visible on the illustrated sheetâ€”depicts a lion holding a stave within a crowned circle possibly encircled by the motto â€œPro Patria Eiusque Libertate.â€ unknown
