18292994Mexico City: January 5 1829. Very good. Broadside 12 x 8.25 inches. Light wear center horizontal fold pinholes along left edge. A rare decree issued by Jose Maria Tornel y Mendivil Governor of the Federal District attempting to regulate the disbursement and possession of guns in Mexico in 1829. Tornel notes that in recent times weapons belonging to the army have been "misplaced" around Mexico City. Collecting the weapons is "extremely urgent because the destiny of these weapons is to serve internal tranquility and the defense of the republic against external enemies." The order reserves the right of access to weapons for those "enlisted in the permanent active or local militia." Tornel authorizes the commanding general and local militia leaders to collect weapons held by civilians without a license to carry them. The bottom of the decree is signed in type by Tornel and his secretary.<br /> <br /> The presidential election of September 1 1828 saw Guerrero come in second. Two weeks later Santa Anna rose in support of Guerrero in Vera Cruz. In November of that year in Mexico City Guerrero supporters took control of the Acordada a former prison transformed into an armory and days of fighting broke out in the capital. These are no doubt the "recent events" referred to in the present decree that led to arms being scattered around the city. An interesting moment in the history of gun control in Mexico and a rare decree. OCLC reports just a single copy of this decree at the Bancroft Library. January 5 unknown
18451358841845. Rare printing of the 1845 annual report of the Commissioner of the General Land Office of the United States of America. Octavo disbound. Contains numerous folding maps and public surveys of Indiana Michigan Iowa Wisconsin Missouri Illinois Arkansas South Tennessee Southeastern Louisiana Alabama showing Chickasaw Cherokee and Creek Cessions and the State of Florida. In near fine condition. Rare. The first great expansion of the United States of America came with the Louisiana Purchase of 1803 which doubled the country's territory although the southeastern border with Spanish Florida was the subject of much dispute until it and Spanish claims to the Oregon Country were ceded to the US in 1821. The annexation of the Republic of Texas in 1845 led directly to the Mexican–American War after which the victorious United States obtained the northern half of Mexico's territory including what was quickly made the state of California. However as the development of the country moved west the question of slavery became more important with vigorous debate over whether the new territories would allow slavery and events such as the Missouri Compromise and Bleeding Kansas. This came to a head in 1860 and 1861 when the governments of the southern states proclaimed their secession from the country and formed the Confederate States of America leading to the American Civil War. unknown

1888176492Glasgow: Oatts & Runciman 1888. A beautifully illustrated yachting monograph First and only edition of this handsome visual record this copy in the scarcer publisher's morocco binding it is usually found in blue cloth. The Royal Clyde Yacht Club founded in 1856 was the biggest in Britain at the end of the 19th century and Clyde yachts were world famous as pioneers of the relatively new sport of yacht racing. "It will be seen that for the most part the period dealt with is that lying between the beginning of 1880 and the end of 1887. Four boats built prior to 1880 have been given a place in our book - namely the Cyprus Madge Neva and Viril - because they were amongst the most notable of the boasts which ushered in the type so popular in after years" Preface. The fine chromolithographs reproduce a series of watercolours by Henry Shields RBA 1859-1935 showing famous yachts or "white wings". Three of them were America's Cup challengers: the Genesta 1884 Galatea 1886 and Thistle 1887. Folio. Chromolithograph frontispiece bound after list of plates us usual and 31 mounted chromolithographic plates small sketches of Clyde Regatta incidents in the text. Publisher's dark purplish red hard-grain morocco bevelled boards smooth spine covers with four blind rules at head and foot front cover with gilt yacht vignette back cover with blind ornamental cartouche French Curl pattern marbled endpapers original dark red cloth inner hinges gilt edges.

A few shallow scratches and abrasions to covers more noticeably to back cover some skilful recolouring of leather at extremities scattered foxing. A very good copy. hardcover
