186050900Boston: Little Brown and Company 1860. Hardcover. Small 4to. Deep green elaborately blind-embossed cloth with gilt spine lettering. xxxii 524pp. Near fine. Hand-lettered paper shelf label near spine foot. Bright fresh and tight third edition of this dictionary NOT by the John Bartlett who wrote "Bartlett's Familiar Quotations" but the other Bartlett ethnographer and topographer of Providence Rhode Island. First published in 1848 it went through four editions each larger than its predecessor until 1877. Tipped to front flyleaf is a 4pp "List of Books Published by Little Brown and Company" in October 1860. This spectacular copy hails from the collection of William B. Allison 1829-1908 the powerful Iowa Republican who as U.S. senator from that state 1873-1908 was one of the "big four" who controlled the Senate; as chairman of the Senate Appropriations Committee for most of those years he championed tariff legislation and co-authored the Bland-Allison Act of 1878; as member of the Senate Finance Committee he was often courted by U.S. presidents to hold cabinet positions. At the top of the front pastedown Allison signs large and bold in pencil. Below this an early 20th century bookplate notes "This book is part of Allison Memorial Collection Gift of Mrs. Jennie A. Brayton" and until deaccessioned was part of Allison's non-circulating collection at his hometown public library across the street from his Dubuque residence. Notes Leland L. Sage in his 1956 biography "William Boyd Allison: A Study in Practical Politics" Allison owned "hundreds of books on government economics history banking finance and the tariff. An omnivorous reader Allison doubtless read most of these volumes if only for relaxation from the strain that accompanied his efforts to solve the many problems facing the Nation." A superior copy with interesting provenance. GARNER-LYNCH 75. Little, Brown and Company hardcover

18280JT157USA 1828. This is a small archive of original handwritten fragments from the pen of Levi Bartlett. Late 1700 early 1800 - 7 pieces of paper in Levi Bartlett 1763-1828 handwriting. Levi was the son of Josiah Bartlett best known as a signer of the Declaration of Independence. Not easy to read but still legible here are some excerpts: "Ord. 3. Performance of Your Duties.our duties arise from our relations 1. to the Diety 2. Ourselves." "Vertigo by too much nerves Dimness of Sight want of nerve Double Vision too much nerve ." "a. Our duties are 1. to assist the purposes of the Diety in evolving our and others mental powers." Very interesting and certainly worthy of further research. Includes an historical narrative and short biography of Levi Bartlett as well as photocopies of various letters or decrees in Levis hand. Though unsigned it is evident from the addtional photocopied material this is indeed from Levi. Fragile but still very presentable. Very rare. . Autograph. Manuscript. Fair. 64mo - up to 3" tall.
