1854 Letter Warning of â€œHumbugâ€ and Advising a Strategy for Fixing a Political Appointment for Collector of the Port of New York

1854List2974New York City 1854. Single one-page letter measuring 8 x 12 Â½ inches. Folded with one small tear; near fine. A letter from â€œC. Riddleâ€ with the New York City Inspectorâ€™s Department to â€œSant. Mairs Esqâ€ concerning the best way to push through their choice of appointee for the Collector of the Port of New York. Riddle writes: â€œI write this to inform you that there has been six or seven appointments made in the Custom House within the last few days. You know what the old man told us the other day when you were here. This looks to me as if there was some humbug going on. Now my dear sir in my opinion the certain way to secure Mr. Van Derlipâ€™s appointment is for you to write to Washington and secure the influence of Dayton or Miller or someone of your Congressmen to see the Secretary of the Treasury and let them use their influence with him. It is said here by the knowing ones that all the appointments are made at Washington now if this be so this is the only way to fix the Collector. . A little effort on your part in this way will I think fix the matter.â€ Given that Riddle mentions the Custom House the â€œCollectorâ€ position the two are trying to fix is likely Collector of the Port of New York. This position which oversaw the collection of import duties and fines was extremely lucrative: it paid a percentage of money collected at what was then the busiest port in the US and the Collectorâ€™s office was also able to hand out federal jobs. The Collector was appointed by the President who at the time was Franklin Pierce; the Secretary of the Treasury whom Riddle is suggesting Mairs influence was James Guthrie. Guthrie pushed reforms on customs collectors including requiring much more frequent reports from them. If Collector of the Port was the position in question the pair were unsuccessful; State Senator Heman J. Redfield was the Pierce-appointed Collector from 1853 to 1857 and no one named Van Derlip ever held the position. An intriguing example of an attempt at political maneuvering. Of interest to scholars of New York City politics. unknown

A GEOGRAPHICAL PRESENT: BEING DESCRIPTIONS OF THE PRINCIPAL COUNTRIES OF THE WORLD. WITH REPRESENTATIONS OF THE VARIOUS INHABITANTS IN THEIR RESPECTIVE COSTUMES BEAUTIFULLY COLOURED

1820ST16372eLondon: Printed for Harvey and Darton 1820. Third Edition. 155 x 95 mm. 6 x 3 3/4". 144 pp. Appealing sprinkled calf by Wallis for C. E. Lauriat stamp-signed on verso of front free endpaper covers bordered by double gilt fillet raised bands spine gilt in compartments with floral spray at center encircled by small tools leafy branch at corners red morocco label densely gilt turn-ins marbled endpapers all edges gilt. WITH 60 HAND-COLORED PLATES of costumes from around the world. For first edition: Lipperheide 480; Osborne Collection p. 193. See also: Megan Nourcia "X Marks the Spot: Women Writers Map the Empire for British Children 1790-1895" pp. 33-34. A tiny bit of wear to the top of the front joint occasional trivial marginal stains or the faintest of browning but still a fine copy clean and fresh internally with brightly colored plates in a well-preserved lustrous binding. Attractively bound and enhanced with excellent contemporary hand coloring this charming introduction to geography aimed at young readers contains numerous plates depicting the traditional dress of cultures from around the world. Beginning in London and spreading to almost every corner of Western Europe the book then guides us to Asia Africa and finally to the Americas ending in Tierra del Fuego. First published in 1817 "A Geographical Present" was the author's most successful work. There is little known about the life of Mary Anne Venning but according to Megan Nourcia the present work "had a broad circulation launching her career as a scientific writer and establishing her authority as an educator of the young." Nourcia also notes that "Venning's texts were marketed as educational aids of keepsake quality"; as we see here the attractive binding and lovely hand-colored plates add an element of luxury to this pedagogical work and the fine condition of our copy suggests that it was carefully looked after by its presumably young previous owners.
