176042569London: Printed for the Author. 1760. First Edition. Disbound. Fair. 16mo; vi 2 120 pages; Sold by T. Kinnersley in St. Paul's Church-Yard; and to be had of all other Booksellers in Town and Country. OCLC 504455151 ESTC t126448 This book lacks most of the leather backstrip and the entire rear board; the front calf covered board is present but detached. The ffep and title page are still attached to the front board; the rest of the text block are held firmly by the original stitching and remainder of the spine. Text is clean but for a couple brief pencil notes marking where the reader left off. Quite a scarce volume; a good cadidate for rebinding. "Most of the pieces in this entertaining miscellany originally appeared in Lloyd's Evening Post." These anonymously published essays skip from a reminiscence of the author's charming youthful infatuation with his nurse and a string of other women into adulthood to a day at an auction house to his arrival at Bath and an odd "exchange" of verses with one "Jack Meggot." A few years later "Honest Ranger" published a second book A Visit to the Ideal World 1763. This author who published under the psedonym "Honest Ranger" has variously been identified as Arthur Murphy or John Ingledew but is to be distinguished from the "Honest Ranger" who published the infamous Harris’s List of the ladies of Covent Garden. .

17630001650<p>On offer is a pre-Revolutionary plantation rental agreement between a Philadelphia shopkeeper and a Springfield millwright featuring notes that connect multiple family and business ties in late 18th-century Philadelphia and Chester counties.</p><p>The rental memorandum is the work of Philadelphia-based lawyer Paul Isaac Voto whose office was located at <em>"the corner of Black Horse Alley in Second Street." </em></p><p>The agreement was drafted between Mr. John Gailbreath often spelled Galbreath or Gilbreath in other historical documentation c. 1717–1766 a shopkeeper whose store was located <em>"in Second Street between Market and Chestnut streets" </em>and the prospective renter millwright Richard Hall of Springfield Chester County. Historical documents show that Hall also owned property in the region.</p><p>Dated May 1763 the rental memorandum indicates that John Gailbreath <em>".letts his house and plantation in Springfield… for one year from the date hereof to… Richard Hall paying the rent of twenty seven pounds…"</em></p><p>The agreement lays out several rules of tenancy including the following examples:</p><ul><li><p><em>"The Tenant is to have Liberty to reap his Corn and Thrash it in the Barn after the time is over leaving the Thaw and Chatt…"</em></p></li><li><p><em>".the Tenant agrees not to take any Hay Straw or Dung off the Premises…"</em></p></li><li><p><em>".the Tenant agrees to… keep the House… and Premises in repair as good as now… shall not keep more fires in the House but only one in the kitchen and one in another room and… not to cut any timber or wood But in the Back Field joining to Crosiers Croziers Plantation…"</em></p></li></ul><p>A caveat on the verso of the lease agreement states that <em>".If John McCoy do not think it proper to rent the place it shall be lett to James Cochran John Cairnes son in law at 26 pounds…" </em>According to historical news documents Galbreath was traveling in 1763 and appears to have entrusted a Chester County contact with the final decision on the rental in his absence.</p><p>The document is signed by Hall but not Galbreath. Its delivery was witnessed by Paul Isaac Voto and Elyha Taylor and the original seal is present.</p><p>This document provides not only insight into property rights legal agreements and plantation rentals in pre-Revolutionary Pennsylvania but it also offers genealogical data to support research on the still-incomplete history of early Pennsylvania families. These include the Cairnes Voto Hall Cochran and Crozier or Crosier families among others.</p><p>While some 18th-century newspaper data exists digitally to assist with ongoing research these being the sources used to find the location of the subjects' businesses this document remains an invaluable primary source for those interested in 18th-century life movement and genealogical links.</p><p><strong>Condition:</strong> Significant age toning folding and micro-tears with significant tearing in one corner. The document is written in ink with a clear legible hand and remains in good condition for its age. Overall: Fair to Good.</p>

FINE. An extensive work on the morphology of boned fish cartilaginous fish sharks rays skates and cetaceans. This work is illustrated with forty-seven full-page engraved plates that are executed in superb form. Plate XLII shows a beached baleen whale and its enormous size compared to the men in the engraving. A bit fanciful plate XL shows a pair of Mermen; a fish on plate XXVII has the features of a human face whilst a 'shark' on plate VII has semi-human fore-limbs. Except for these anomalies the zoological drawings are quite dramatic and relatively accurate. Jonston's works were frequently re-edited and translated into German Latin Dutch and English. Born in Poland but of Scottish origin Jonston was educated and traveled extensively. He attended St. Andrews 1623-5 studying botany and medicine at Cambridge Leiden and Frankfurt Universities. He earned degrees from Cambridge and in Leiden his M. D. in 1632 where he later practiced medicine and gained a great reputation. In 1642 he briefly taught at Frankfurt as professor of medicine. He retired to his private estate in Silesia in 1655. His "four dictionary-style works on fish birds quadrupeds and insects -- published between 1650 and 1653 with excellent illustrations -- were widely read and translated." DSB.
