The main tunnel was driven 420 feet on the Hoodoo ledge with about another 200 feet of tunneling ore concentrate worth about $83 a ton including gold silver and copper ores.

XXV imperii IV. José Xavier Veloso 1742-1811 born in what is now Minas Gerais Brazil was ordained in 1766 in the convent of St. Anthony in Rio de Janeiro where he studied philosophy and theology later geometry in San Paulo and finally natural history. He collected plants animals and minerals in the Rio de Janeiro area from 1783 to 1790 at which time he moved to Lisbon where he worked at the Royal Academy of Sciences while preparing Florae Fluminensis his greatest work for publication. Using the Linnaeus’ system of sexual classification of plants he prepared very highly detailed texts and 1700 prints many of them of new species. But the publication of the work was beset by problems. First sent to Venice the plates were never completed. Later the French invasion of the Iberian peninsular sent the Portuguese government then Veloso and his manuscripts into exile in Brazil where he died in 1811. In 1825 an abbreviated version of the text was published followed by the eleven volumes of the Icones in 1827 of which few copies survive.

1837ABC_47224Paris 1837. Folio ca. 35 x 26.5 cm. Dauty Contemporary half sheepskin maroon watered silk sides title in gold on the front board. With an engraved title-page and 11 of 23 engraved botanical prints: 4 showing 5 kinds of fruits each 3 showing 9 types of flowers each and 4 showing flower bouquets. All prints are stipple engravings and coloured by a contemporary hand some parts glazed with egg white. 12 ll. Extremely rare botanical print series showing both European and exotic fruits and flowers engraved by Jean-Baptiste Huet the younger 1772-1852 after designs of Benoît-Louis Prévost 1735-1804 or Jean-Louis Prévost 1760-1810. It also includes four plates showing bouquets from Europe America Asia and Africa. Only one complete copy is known at the Bibliothèque nationale de France we have traced no copy in sale or auction records and it is not mentioned in the usual botanical bibliographical works. The BnF copy is described in the Inventaire du fonds français après 1800 where the series consists of 23 prints issued all together under this title. The BnF and the IFF date the work ca. 1837-1839 but it is more likely that it is ca. 1837-1838 as Dauty died in 1838 and he printed at Rue de Bibliothèque no. 16 only in 1827 and 1835-1838. The BnF ascribes the designs for the prints to Benoît-Louis Prévost but Jean-Louis Prévost remains a possibility for he produced another famous print series of flowers and fruits in the same style of stipple engravings Collection des fleurs et fruits 1805.With a contemporary inscription "A M.elle Vincent" on the first free endleaf dedicating it to or belonging to the famous French 19th-century botanical painter Henriette Vincent 1786-1834 who was a student of Gerard van Spaendonck and Pierre-Joseph Redouté. Head and foot of the spine damaged and spine slightly worn boards a little rubbed edges slightly worn corners bumped. Some light browning and foxing throughout title-page a little more browned and with a light marginal water stain. Lacking 12 plates according to IFF. Otherwise in good condition.

1872303445London 1872. Albumen print measuring 11-5/8 x 16-1/4 in 295 x 412 mm. Laid down on thick cream card with manuscript caption measuring 17 x 21 in. Image slightly faded card chipped with some minor soiling one tear not affecting image. Albumen print measuring 11-5/8 x 16-1/4 in 295 x 412 mm. A rare survival. This image appears in William Bradford's fabled book of photographs Arctic Regions. It was taken by either Dunmore or Critcherson the two professional photographers from Boston who accompanied Bradford on his 1869 expedition to the Arctic on the steamship Panther. It was probably taken at Upernavik a settlement on an island off Greenland's west coast or Godhavn.<br /> <br /> Arctic Regions included 141 albumen prints in addition to Bradford's account of the voyage. The title of the photograph here varies from the printed caption in the book where it reads: "Plate Number: 116 Esquimaux igloe or winter hut made of turf and stones. The entrance is to the left through a door which is about three and a half feet high. The length of the passage is about twelve or fifteen feet and at the farther end is another door through which one almost has to crawl on his hands and knees. After passing through there is then room to stand erect but one is forced to leave very soon owing to the bad air." <br /> <br /> This photograph is slightly larger than the one in the book which is 277 x 365mm. Furthermore the image in the book is cropped closer on the right and left margins. <br /> <br /> The New York Public Library has a folio of 26 images of near identicle size mounted on card. The portfolio was donated to the library in 1892 as part of the Robert Stuart Collection. According to Horch originally all of these images were captioned in manuscript though were later remounted with typed captions as "the original ink-written captions for the photographs had badly faded by 1940." It's interesting that the caption on their duplicate of this image is the same as ours and the image itself has not been cropped. Horch writes that Bradford probably not only selected these images himself but "closely directed the actual taking of the photographs." <br /> <br /> It's entirely likely that Bradford would have had extra prints made to distribute to friends repay favors and most of all to solicit subscribers to what was a very expensive book to publish. Given how it conforms to the examples in the Robert Stuart portfolio this particular image is probably one of them. Horch Frank. "Photographs and Paintings by William Bradford".

Heavy wear and chipping to spine; boards no longer extant. Front free endpaper and first blank page detached but still extant with some chipping to corners.

Some discoloration smoke to tail of final pages. Gatherings still held together quite securely although with some cocking to the top half of the spine.

Originally published in eight parts under the title "Equality-- A Political Romance" in the Philadelphia deist magazine "The Temple of Reason" this utopian fantasy is commonly accredited to be the first utopian novel written and published in the United States. According to the historian Richard J. Twomey "Equality." marks a turning point in social critique in how it marks private property itself as the root of "social evil" rather than inherited privilege or property. Faherty and White.
