1908856521908. DOW Arthur Wesley & Everett Stanley HUBBARD. BY SALT MARSHES: PICTURES AND POEMS OF OLD IPSWICH. Ipswich: Privately printed 1908. No. 103 of approximately 200. 32 pp. 8vo. Quarter brown cloth unmarked with color illustrated front cover only paper covered boards. Covers worn but still attractive; interior near fine small pencil numerals to front pastedown. Eight lovely color woodblock illustrations with other monochrome and two color designs/headpieces. "BY SALT MARSHES is Arthur Wesley Dow's tribute to the old North Shore town of Ipswich where he was born and spent most of his life and to his boyhood friend Everett Stanley Hubbard. It is a collaboration somewhat in the spirit of Meteyard Carman and Hovey in their Vagabondia books though Hubbard was undoubtedly a lesser poet and Dow a greater artist. BY SALT MARSHES is his masterpiece and it is evident from the numerous sketches and proofs in the Ipswich Historical Society and the Society for Preservation of New England Antiquities - some dating back as far as 1895 - that it was a labor of love. Infinite care and craftsmanship were expended on every detail. The illustrations are color woodblock prints such as Dow described in an article in MODERN ART 1896 entitled "Painting with Wooden Blocks." This was a technique Dow had discovered in the course of his study of Japanese art and he was a master of it using as many as four or five different blocks accurately registered thinly inked to show the grain of the wood and printed in subtle gradations of tone to achieve a luminosity that effectively evokes the quality of the light on the marshes. Although the text is printed from small gothic type the lettering on the cover and title page was also cut by hand in woodblocks after the manner of Meteyard and Dawson-Watson's lettering for the COURIER INNOCENT 1897."

186653723Houston TX 1866. 4to 3 pages on integral leaves; approx. 9.75" x 7.75" legibly written with full typescript transcription provided some staining without affecting legibility minor insect damage on edges very good. Includes stamped cover with a Houston postmark. An interesting letter from the early Reconstruction period in the Southwest. J. W. Eckles John Wesley Eckles: 1839-1891 was born in Delaware. At the time of this letter he was a 1st Lieutenant serving in Houston a few months after a proclamation of peace with Texas was issued by President Andrew Johnson in August of 1866. He appears to have remained in Texas thereafter as a rancher until he was shot in a neighborhood dispute. Eckles writes to Major Lofland: "I am truly glad to know you came out number one in your late collision with Col. Mason. Although I never felt any doubt about the matter. I would think the Snub he got from Gen'l Sheridan with charges returned would put him out of the nature of preferring charges against anybody else particularly the Pay Dept. He told Maj. Lathrop that he never forwarded the charges I showed Lathrop a copy of Gen'l S's letter returning them you ought to have seen him laugh." General Philip Sheridan was appointed to supervise federal Reconstruction 1865-77 efforts in Louisiana and Texas; he rapidly earned a reputation as a harsh leader. The reference to "Col. Mason" probably refers to Bvt. Lieut. Col. Julius Wilmot Mason 1835-1882 from Pennsylvania. He participated in the 1863 Battle of Brandy Station where he earned a brevet to major for gallant and meritorious services. Mason served with Grant until August 12 1866 and commanded General Grant's escort until he was inaugurated as President in January of 1868. Mason then served in the same position for Gen. William T. Sherman until March 31 1870 when he was transferred to frontier service. We do not know exactly what the "charges" or the "late collision" with Major Lofland were that Col. Mason brought since they were returned by Sheridan but since they concerned the pay department they might have been related to issues involving the dispensing of soldier pay. Major James Rush Lofland was the recipient of this letter in New Orleans where he was engaged until 1867 in paying off the troops of Mississippi Louisiana and Texas. Lofland 1823-1894 was a Delaware College graduate and a lawyer. Eckles also refers to "about 1000 troops here arrived in Galveston during the last week. Gen'l Heinzleman has made his HdQtrs at Galveston & assumed command of this district . My opinion of the majority of those fellows at Galveston is.that it requires nine of them to make a man. They are all very honorable gentlemen & the d-l for taking up each others' quarrels." He recounts an attempt of "two youngsters" to waylay Lofland at a wharf over a perceived slight that was thwarted by cowardice. <br/><br/> unknown books

Octavo. 318 pp. Extraterritoriality in China was originally intended to protect foreign nationals from the vagaries of Chinese justice. However extraterritoriality quickly became a badge of superiority and attained the status of a vested interest. As its meaning broadened it became the cornerstone for the entire structure of special privileges enjoyed by foreigners in China. By December 7 1941 extraterritoriality had declined to little more than a legal term.
