189544165New York December 8th 1895. Autograph letter signed on recto and verso of single cream laid sheet 22x14.5cm.; approx. 85 words; dated 26 West 61st N.Y. Dec 8th and simply addressed to "Parker" presumably Stanton's friend and fellow-suffragist Parker Pillsbury 1809-1898 who with Stanton had co-edited the women's rights newsletter "The Revolution" twenty years earlier. Faint mail folds small unobtrusive archival paper remnants to two corners from having been previously mounted else Near Fine and still quite fresh. Brief contemporary 1897 pencil note at bottom edge "Mrs. Stanton - born Nov. 12 1815 Now past 82 - C.E.R." though based on contents we would place this letter as having been written around 1895. Brief but significant missive addressed to Parker Pillsbury the American minister and women's suffrage advocate regarding a copy of Stanton's "Woman's Bible" she had just sent him. "I wonder if I could interest them a "Mrs. White" and one other sufficiently in the Woman's Bible to sell ten or twenty copies in there sic respective woman's clubs It is published at my expense hence I am trying to push its circulation." The controversial "Woman's Bible" a series of commentaries pertaining to the portions of the Bible relating to women was published in two parts in 1895 and 1898 and composed almost entirely by Stanton alone her committee of Bible revisors finding the project too controversial and harmful to the cause of women's suffrage. Clearly at the time of writing this letter the book was still meeting with resistance thus our placing the date at around 1895 Stanton turning to Pillsbury as a potential source of influential and wealthy patrons she inquires "Is Mrs. White still living & working Is that rich woman that Mr. illegible used to visit in Maine living". But by 1897 the book had become a best seller though many of the members of the women's suffrage movement would continue to distance themselves from it. This letter quite significant as a testimony to the aging Stanton organizer of the historical 1848 Seneca Falls Convention and her continuing indefatigable efforts and initial lack of support in getting this work circulated.

173814194Amsterdam: Herman Uytwerf 1738. First Edition. Hardcover. Good. Two volumes pp. xiv 370 6; 430 6 with six folding plates and a folding map. Modern full-leather with marbled endpapers. Title pages clipped at upper and lower edges; damage with losses to three plates repairs to back of map; all else very good. Le Beau was transported from France to Quebec in 1729 probably on a charge of libertinism. According to his own account he was appointed a clerk in the Beaver Office and then chief clerk in the King's warehouses. Bored and depressed he stole gunpowder from the warehouses and set off for New England. A warrant for his arrest was issued but he escaped encountering many perils natural and human before he reached Boston and eventually sailed for Holland. His ensuing work on his adventures in North America includes much detail on Huron Iroquois and Algonquin customs but its style has been dubbed fanciful. Howes L-167 describes the work as "a basically veracious narrative from competent authorities though somewhat romanticised." The Dictionary of Canadian Biography argues that Le Beau "deserves credit for painting an exact picture of the customs and character of the Canadians" noting that "the best chapters are those that discuss the habits of beaver and the religious ideas of the Indians."

Hays with the compliments of the author Harry F. Atwood". Will Hays managed Warren G. Hardings successful campaign for the Presidency of the U.S. and was subsequently appointed Postmaster General.

Atwood in his writings was opposed to "democracy" in its most pure form and he spoke out against all of the following: initiatives referendums recall elections direct primaries direct election of U.S. Senators and the 17th Amendment to the Constitution.

Kelengan or Lorodan cleaning by boiling in water also 'ngerak' the alternative process VI. Riningan or Biron covering spaces with wax or not if 'ngerak' process VII Sogan "The result after the dying process with soga the brown color made of the "bark" of various mentioned plants VIII Babara Satria Manah "The last process on the material by boiling in water and by scraping out the wax"; each example also has a numbered & typed strip of white cloth sewn-on identifying the piece with the last finished example noting "Made by Mrs. Sudirman Banjurmas"; the final panel noting "Presented by Virginia F.
