189013401890. Ink and gouache with gold heightening on fibrous brown laid paper with a Jaipur Court Fee tax stamp in purple ink on the recto 12 1/2 x 9 inches 318 x 230 mm. Toning handling creases and minor scattered surface soiling throughout. There are scattered coeval inscriptions in ink on the recto and verso. The first revenue stamps in India were issued in the mid-nineteenth century during the Raj and they are still being issued to this day. Apart from issues for the whole of India many princely states provinces and other states also had or still have their own revenue stamp issues. Before independence Indian revenue stamps were closely modeled on similar designs from Great Britain as is the case with this carriage motif stamp from Jaipur. <br /> <br /> The stamps were issued to denote various denominations including rupees and annas. An anna or Änna was a currency unit formerly used in British India equal to 1â„16 of a rupee. It was subdivided into four old Paisa or twelve pies thus there were 192 pies in a rupee. When the rupee was decimalized and subdivided into 100 new paise one anna was therefore equivalent to 6.25 paise. This particular stamp was used as evidence of court taxes remitted for property dealings. unknown

O. L." in gilt on leather corner at lower right of upper board raised bands spine compartments gilt with floral sprig gilt lettering marbled endpapers. Engraved bookplate of Frank O. Lowden on front pastedown. Howes B-992; Sabin 97133. Spine evenly sunned to a medium brown small early repair to upper edge of paper wrapper but a fine copy the binding with virtually no wear and the contents extremely clean and fresh with only trivial defects.<br/> <br/> This is an excellent copy from the library of an important Illinois politician of the scarce memoir of a female Illinois homesteader. Our author Rebecca Burlend 1793-1872 and her husband John a farmer and schoolteacher made the choice in August of 1831 to leave their Yorkshire home and travel with five of their children to Illinois. They arrived in New Orleans two months later and began an arduous journey up the Mississippi to their land claim in Pike County across the river from Hannibal Missouri. The author's description of the trip and their subsequent difficult first few years in the United States provides an unvarnished picture of frontier life. Burlend candidly recounts hardships caused by such things as weather fire and squatters and critically discusses the people she met many of whom she disliked--writing that "ignorance was the predominant feature of Western character." While she apparently felt the adversity had been largely worthwhile she intended the present narrative as a realistic guide for other prospective British emigrants. The book concludes with the practical sentiment that "if the account I have given of our proceedings adverse and successful does not allure the reader's fancy with ideas of visionary prosperity as the invariable result of crossing the seas it may perchance tend to make him a little better satisfied with his present condition though it should only be a snug little cottage in the land where his childhood was reared." Her memoir was published anonymously in London in 1848 after she had composed it on a return visit to England with the help of her son. She was not formally identified as the author of the piece until 1936. The present copy is distinguished by its connection to another figure in Illinois history: Frank Orren Lowden the "F. O. L." on the front cover 1861-1943 represented Illinois' 13th district in the U.S. House of Representatives and later served as governor of Illinois from 1917-21. G. Berger unknown

Joints and extremities a little rubbed tiny crack just beginning at top of front joint two tiny chips to foot of spine very minor offsetting and foxing to map a couple of patches of marginal foxing but INTERNALLY AN ESPECIALLY FINE COPY--unusually clean fresh and surprisingly bright--in a good-looking well-preserved binding.<br/> <br/> In especially desirable condition this is quite a scarce travel account by the English antiquary explorer and clergyman Francis Vyvyan Jago Arundell 1780-1846 who visited the so-called Seven Churches of Asia also called the Seven Churches of the Apocalypse and the Seven Churches of Revelation locations in present-day Turkey of central importance to St. John and the Book of Revelation. In that book John who was a threat to Roman officials as leader of the new Christian religion in Asia had been banished to Patmos where he was visited by an apocalyptic vision directing him to write to the churches at Ephesus Smyrna Pergamum Thyatira Sardis Philadelphia and Laodicea commending their successes pointing out their failures and prevailing upon them to repent. These seven Turkish churches reflect a surprisingly significant role in the region's early Christian history with some scholars maintaining that as many as 18 of the 27 New Testament books were written there--and Arundell's narrative would have helped to raise the popular understanding of this importance. Following his marriage to the daughter of the British consul-general at the Levant Company in Constantinople Arundell became chaplain to the company's trading center in Smyrna now Izmir in 1822. From there he embarked on a series of tours through Asia Minor including places that according to DNB "until then had for the most part not been described by any European traveller." The present work is the product of the author's first tour which included two separate excursions between March and September of 1826. Despite being a clergyman Arundell's interest in these sites was primarily archaeological and historical and this work includes his firsthand descriptions of the ruins he encountered facsimiles of Greek inscriptions found there and narratives of the arduous journeys between sites that were well off the beaten path. This work is surprisingly scarce in commerce suggesting that copies were often read with avidity. John Rodwell unknown
189013411890. Ink and gouache with gold heightening on fibrous brown laid paper with a Jaipur Court Fee tax stamp in purple ink on the recto 13 1/4 x 8 7/8 inches 336 x 226 mm. Toning handling creases and minor scattered surface soiling throughout. There are scattered coeval inscriptions in ink on the recto and verso. A traditional Indian butter churn is operated by rapidly pulling a rope which turns a paddled spindle. The paddles churn cows milk inside a large jar until milk solids form. Ghee is made from cow milk butter which is treated with low heat until the water evaporates leaving behind milk solids. The solids are skimmed off or strained if needed. Ghee is a staple food on the Indian subcontinent and as a cooking oil it is the most widely used food in India apart from wheat and rice. Because of its exalted status at Hindu weddings ghee is expensive and in high demand. Male wedding guests are expected to compete with each other to see who can eat the most of it; consuming two pounds or more at a sitting is considered a proof of virility. <br /> <br /> On the stamp:<br /> <br /> The first revenue stamps in India were issued in the mid-nineteenth century during the Raj and they are still being issued to this day.
