Somewhat scarce brush catalogue from the 1870s. Whiting started making brushes in the 1850s and by 1868 he had a stand-alone brush business that included other family members.

1818127276London: J. M. Richardson 1818. One of the outstanding exponents of the theory of international trade in the nineteenth century First separate edition of this anonymous tract originally published in The Pamphleteer Volume XII number 23. Arnold Plant declared that "the anonymous author of this tract should take his place with Ricardo J. S. Mill Longfield Mangoldt and Edgeworth as one of the outstanding exponents of the theory of international trade in the nineteenth century. His use of algebraic symbols in setting out the ratios between the quantities of commodities his method of ascertaining from these ratios which of a number of commodities can be most advantageously exported and imported his demonstration that the ratios used may be either those of quantities of different commodities within the same countries or of the same commodities in different countries will bear comparison with for instance Professor Viner's own lucid exposition well over a century later" Plant introduction to 1933 reprinting pp. 40-41. Although the tract was reprinted in the Pamphleteer in the same year it has otherwise left little trace. Octavo 197 x 120 mm. Recent quarter cloth paper label to spine marbled paper sides. Light marking to cloth some very faint scattered foxing else an excellent copy. See Goldsmiths' 22070 for The Pamphleteer. hardcover

An interesting document of privateering in the Peninsular war this ‘Public Instrument of Protest‘ documents a Portuguese captain and crew complaint in detail to an English notary. After sailing from Calcutta to Brazil and then from Rio to just outside of Lisbon their ship the 700-ton ‘Oceano’ was seized and comprehensively ransacked by a French privateer the ‘Lion’ out of Lorient. Most of the crew and passengers were offloaded onto a passing American vessel the ‘Leda’ bound for Lisbon. Meanwhile the ‘Lyon’ escorted her prize towards the nearest French port but before a friendly haven was reached they were both set upon by the brigantine HMS ‘Achates’. The ‘Lyon’ escaped but the ‘Ocean’ was captured by Commander Morrison and the ‘Achetes’. The ’Ocean’ was taken to Plymouth and moored in the Hamoaze. The remaining Portuguese crew who had been forced to remain aboard the ‘Ocean’ by the French got a message to the ‘Ocean’s Master Dn. Ignacio Joze Martins and he and the boatswain made their way to Plymouth as quickly as possible. The sworn statement presented here is in English thanks to the translation given by Francisco Martins d' Magalhaens master of a Portuguese ship “now dwelling in Plymouthâ€<br /> <br /> The ’Oceano’ sailed from Calcutta to Brazil arriving 10th February 1813. She left Rio on 4th April all was plain sailing until the afternoon of the 7th June off the Rock of Lisbon when the ‘Lion’ showed up first under false British colors then French. The fighting was fierce the privateer was driven off once but eventually the ‘Oceano’ was taken. The night of the 7th June was spent by the French ‘conveying everything Moveable and Valuable from the Ocean to the Privateer’. The ‘Leda’ the US vessel landed the majority of the ‘Ocean’s crew including the Master in Lisbon on the evening of the 9th June.Monday 14th June the ‘Lyon’ engaged in a running battle with HMS ‘Achates’ and escaped but the ‘Achates’ did capture the ‘Ocean’. Wednesday 16th June the ‘Ocean’ arrived in Plymouth under the watchful eye of the ‘Achates’. Receiving the crew’s message the Captain of the ‘Ocean’ left Lisbon for Falmouth and then Plymouth arriving on the 20th July. The document was dated 21st July 1813.<br /> <br /> Full transcription available. unknown
188731477New York Jan. 8 1887. 1887. Very good. - Over 75 words penned on both sides of an 8 inch high by 5 inch wide sheet of A.A. Low's personal 31 Burling Slip buff white stationery with attached blank leaf. In his letter addressed to Mr. Davenport at the Garfield Building which was also one of the buildings which A.A. Low developed in Brooklyn Low mentions the possibility of naming the building located at 186 Remsen Street which would house the Franklin Trust Company after that institution: "I have asked Mr. ____ if it would suit him or it will not to have the edifice called 'The Franklin Building'". Signed "Respectfully yours A.A. Low". Folded for mailing with some minor creases to the left edge. Remnants of paper adhere to the edge of the verso of the blank leaf. Very good. <p>The American entrepreneur businessman and philanthropist Abiel Abbot Low 1811-1893 made his fortune from the China trade. His company A.A. Low & Brothers imported teas porcelain and silks from China and Japan. His firm was originally housed on Fletcher Street in New York City. It moved to new quarters the A.A. Low building which he erected on John street in 1849-50. Once established in New York Low went on to invest in numerous other ventures including the first Atlantic cable and the Nickel Plate Railroad.<p>Among A.A. Low's speculative investments were the Garfield Building as well as financial institutions such as the Dime Savings Bank and the Title Guarantee & Trust Company. Another of his projects the Franklin Building is a seven and a half story Romanesque Revival Building. While most were later replaced by taller skyscrapers The Franklin Building which was completed in 1887 by the architectural firm of the Parfitt Brothers survives as one of the oldest buildings in the district.

1867ST20572Hamilton Scotland: W. Naismith 1867. FIRST EDITION. 168 x 106 mm. 6 1/2 x 4 1/4". vii 183 pp. <br/> In the very rare original green paper wrappers. Spine cocked wrappers somewhat soiled spine with paper beginning to lift along the bottom inch of the rear joint other minor exterior defects but the volume solid and internally in excellent condition. QUITE A GOOD COPY of a fragile inexpensively produced volume one would expect to find in shambles.<br/> <br/> Told in the form of letters drawn from the author's actual correspondence as well as his contemporary journals this first-hand account by a young sailor of the transatlantic slave trade in the years 1800-04 brings those horrific voyages vividly to life. At the same time the author writing in direct unvarnished prose makes it clear he is at least as much an observer of difficult sea life in general as he is concerned with the abolition of a great evil. In the preface Robinson 1786-1875 explains his reasons for publishing this record of his time aboard a slave ship: "I have heard so many gross misstatements respecting West Indian slavery and the horrors of the 'Middle Passage' that I formed the resolution should time be allowed me to give the result of my own experience . . . in order to disabuse the minds of many well-meaning people." He is rightly aware that some readers may be offended by unconvincing apology in an account encumbered with naïveté : "It is doubtless the opinion of many that I put myself into a wrong position and incurred blame and obloquy by entering into this obnoxious trade at all. It may be so; I will not dispute the matter. I certainly did not feel myself comfortable or at home in the service. But let it be remembered in my favour that the trade was then a lawful one; whilst at the same time I was induced to enter it by what is called an accidental circumstance . . . and an irresistible desire for a seafaring life so completely carried me away that it became a matter of perfect indifference to me where the ship went if not to the bottom provided I was aboard of her--or in what trade engaged if not a pirate." As indicated the letters originating in various ports in England West Africa and the West Indies depict a harsh life at sea for all involved but most especially for the wretches who made up the ship's cargo. An accident on board nearly cost Robinson his foot and ended his career at sea just a year before in his words "the united voice of a generous and philanthropic people" passed the Emancipation Bill into law ending British participation in the slave trade. The phrasing here makes it clear our narrator had his heart mostly in the right place. This is a very rare book which is not surprising for a pocket-sized work from a provincial press near Glasgow issued in insubstantial paper wrappers. OCLC records just two copies in libraries both in the UK while RBH and ABSA seem to list no copies at auction except the present one. W. Naismith unknown

Unlike regular milk it was portable over great distances had a very long shelf life and it was safe. Two brothers George and Charles Page from Illinois one of whom came into contact with condensed milk as a soldier in the civil war sought to emulate this success by opening a condensed milk factory is Switzerland a place renown for it’s dairy industry to supply the European market with condensed milk. They named it the Anglo-Swiss company as their target market was Great Britain. But they were successful beyond their dreams and by 1891 it had 12 factories across Europe and the US that exported worldwide. Anglo Swiss then expanded into the USA by purchasing its first factory in Middletown New York and its second around 1889 then the largest condensed milk factory in the world in the Page brothers' home town of Dixon Illinois. This book was likely printed as a celebration for the companies newly opened North American factories. It must have had a very small print run due to its luxurious production and was perhaps only given to large shareholders. At the same time as Page brothers were introducing condensed milt to Europe a young German pharmacist by the same of Henri Nestle had developed and was producing a viable powdered milk product that was used as a substitute for breast milk. He too was extremely successful. The competition between the companies was fierce. From the company's website -- "Nestlé Company’s history began in 1866 with the establishment of the Anglo-Swiss Condensed Milk Company by two US brothers Charles and George Page. Using plentiful supplies of fresh milk in Switzerland they applied knowledge gained in their homeland to establish Europe’s first condensed milk production facility in Cham. They began supplying the product under the Milkmaid brand to Europe’s industrial towns marketing it as a safe long-lasting alternative to fresh milk. In 1905 Henri Nestle’s company merged with Anglo-Swiss to form what is now known as the Nestlé Group." Nestle still produces condensed milk under the Milkmaid brand to this day.
