Cowan64 p.36 Wagner-Camp 234:1 Graff 198. John Russell Bartlett 1805-1886 a historian and linguist was appointed to oversee the United States and Mexican Boundary Commission to survey and establish the current boundary between the United States and Mexico in the Treaty of Guadalupe Hildalgo and expanded with the Gadsden Purchase. The survey also determined the route of a southern railroad. Bartlett was also an artist and made illustrations of the southwest landscape. From Wagner-Camp ". Bartlett was a talented artist observer and reporter who contributed greatly to the knowledge of the geography and topography of the Southwest in his Personal Narrative. During three years with the Mexican Boundary Commission he traveled widely from central Texas to the Pacific Ocean and from Mazatlan to San Francisco. A contentious man and lacking perhaps certain administrative skills Bartlett succeeded in antagonizing most of his fellow-official on the Commission. Graff points out that "a number of incidents described by Bartlett have been differently interpreted by his associates." D. Appleton & Company unknown books

Bartlett was elected to the New Hampshire colonial assembly in 1765 served as colonel of the Rockingham County militia and was appointed justice of the peace. From 1775-1776 and in 1778 and 1788 Barteltt was New Hampshire's delegate to the Continental Congress where as the representative of the northern most colony he was the first delegate to vote for independence from Great Britain.

Bartlett 1809-1854 was a renowned English painter or architectural and topographical views and panoramas who did similar books on such countries as Switzerland and Canada all of which are epitomize the steel engraved view books of the period and are easy to find standard works. In this copy of "American Scenery" there is no question that the hand-coloring greatly enhances the otherwise appealing but unexciting steel engravings and one can not but think that the plates were intended to be colored so. Some finger soiling to the leaves including those with the plates but overall a clean copy. The binding does have wear with abrasions to the diced calf repaired joints and moderate wear besides. Chipping to the black spine labels. <br/><br/> George Virtue unknown books
18210046721821. Hardcover. Leather spine. Good. A manuscript notebook with lovely original folk art oil paintings on both boards and two watercolors within! 4to. 30.5 by 19.5 cm. Unpaginated 18 leaves of wove paper with content followed by a few blanks. Watercolored title page with American eagle atop an orb and pedestal and a beautiful painting of ships bearing the American flag near a lighthouse perched on a rocky spit and a cape house beyond. The paintings on the boards are what strike us as the most unusual though especially because the medium is oils. One is of a windmill and a pastoral setting the other a cow drinking at a pond. Also a faint pencil sketch on the final leaf possibly a draft of one of the two cover paintings and elsewhere a tail vignette of a tombstone. The verse is not credited. The longest selection is "An abbreviation of the Shipwreck" which is in fact an abridged version of Falconer's narrative poem. Another "Epitaph on a Blacksmith" was written by Alexander Pennecuik. A poem entitled "Water" was penned by an Ann Taylor. We thus assume based on the title that most of the poetry was transcribed. The sea is the most common subject but by no means the exclusive one. The alum-tawed leather of the spine is heavily soiled. Repair of the sewing which binds the text block. Rubbing and minor loss on the cover panels. Darkening of the cover paintings. <br /><br /> hardcover books

"The New World of Columbus.its sudden rise to independence wealth and power" Author's preface is captured in this Victorian publication on the United States and "British America" Canada with fine engravings after the noted British landscape painter William Henry Bartlett. This is a wonderful illustrated romp published at a time to illustrate the last days of relative freedom of the North American native peoples Willis cites Blumenbach in analysing the "real character of the aboriginal inhabitant" and the development of the cities on the West coast of America and unusually Lower Canada. William Bartlett "made four voyages to the United States and Canada.the fruits of which appeared in American Scenery and Canadian Scenery" DNB. The famous plates depict North American cities New York Philadelphia Boston Washington; important buildings such as the U.S. Bank the Capitol and Yale College; bridges parks falls ferries rivers; as well as fine views of Canada through Quebec Montreal Toronto and including Niagara Falls and Thousand Isles. Also included is an engraved portrait of Bartlett a map of the north-eastern United States and Lower Canada. Sabin calls Canadian Scenery "the finest of Mr. Bartlett's works." Willis's "The Literary Department" accompanying letterpress lyrically opines on the picturesque quoting Byron's Childe Harold on sighting Niagara Falls and noting that in America the traveller may imagine "an Eden newly-sprung from the ocean".

Henry Bartlett was born in Rhode Island son of John Russell Bartlett an ethnologist and well known author of The Dictionary of Americanisms published in 1848 who also served for many years as Rhode Island's Secretary of State. He was also the state's first bibliographer having compiled A Bibliography of Rhode Island Providence 1864. Henry Bartlett saw service in the Civil War commissioned a second lieutenant in the Marine Corps in 1861. He was put in command of the Marine Guard aboard the iron-clad "New Ironsides" involved in actions in Charleston Harbor and later was part of the expedition to capture St. Augustine. Bartlett used this journal over the course of two decades during tours of duty as a U.S. Marine aboard the USS Sacramento from Cape Town to Ceylon Pondicherry Madras etc. in 1867; aboard the US Flag Ship Contoocook bound for Havana from 1868-69; on the US Flag Ship Hartford on the Asiatic Station in China and Japan from 1872-75; and on the USS Trenton in China Japan and Korea 1883-86. He records in some detail life aboard ship and at the various ports he visited. During his time on the Asiatic Station he also acted as a Judge Advocate at on board court martials. Following the Civil War the U.S. Navy along with the Marine Corps was expanding its influence and its reach around the globe. Of particular note is Bartlett's tour with the USS Trenton just as the first US diplomats were making inroads in Korea. By 1867 when this journal commences he was aboard the USS Sacramento bound for India. In short near daily entries later less frequent Bartlett records the weather; ports visited interactions with other international ships in the harbors etc. He mentions encountering a French Corvette bound for New Caledonia with 200 convicts aboard including twelve women. He notes the presence of two American whalers and an outbreak of yellow fever at Mauritius. In Ceylon he mentions meeting the American Consul going hunting and sightseeing and dining well on several kinds of curry. The account ends somewhat abruptly when the ship runs aground. Apparently while sailing en route from Madras to Calcutta the Sacramento was stranded on an uncharted shoal. Makeshift rafts were constructed and Bartlett boarded the last of these to leave the ship. Bartlett's raft suffered the misfortune of drifting miles away from the wreck and for two days the small craft with its 29 passengers was hopelessly lost at sea until rescued by the steamer Madras. Bartlett resumes his record in September 1868 with his new post aboard the US Flag Ship Contoocook bound for Havana. Anchored in the harbor there by mid-November Bartlett observes: "Havana is a strange looking place a great number of old tumble down forts at the entrance to the harbor mounting any number of guns. We found two large Spanish vessels in port & one English Man-of-War the "Jason." The Governor General Lersundi still holds out for the Queen. He had sixteen thousands troops in the city of Havana for which reason this place is very quiet - the island is much excited. We hear of fighting near us." In January he mentions that Captain General Dulce has little or no control over the Volunteers. "The force of Marines from the vessels lying here went on shore during the afternoon to try and keep quiet in the City. Cohner an American citizen was shot Sunday night while walking near his house." By June 1869 the Captain General Dulce had been driven from office and the city was under the control of an armed mob. Yellow fever and cholera were also constant threats to the health of locals and sailors. Despite the turmoil Bartlett managed to see a bull fight buy cigars and tour the sugar estate of the Arriettas known as "Flor de Cuba." The journal recommences in September 1872 with Bartlett's next post aboard the US Flag Ship Hartford bound for Hong Kong China and Japan. By spring they were moving from port to port in the Far East Singapore Hong Kong Shanghai Chin Kiang and Canton the Temple of Longevity Flowery Pagoda the Temple of the Sleeping Buddha etc. and dining on Birds Nest Soup shark fins and seaweed stew. He also mentions that a great crowd of American missionaries came on board to visit the ship while it was in port in Canton. In early 1874 the Hartford was in Yokohama. He and some of his shipmates toured Osaka and Nagasaki. In August he records what he was told was the most severe typhoon ever to hit Nagasaki with nearly every building in the city suffering some damage. In early 1875 he visited the Chinese Arsenal in Canton where he watched them making Remington and Spencer rifles "on a mammoth scale" 8-foot rifles requiring three men to fire them plus the manufacture of gatling guns and torpedos. While aboard the Hartford Bartlett received an appointment as a Judge Advocate and was often called upon to be one of the judges for the General Courts Martial which took place on board. The Hartford was ordered home in mid-1875. The ship stopped at Tripoli in August on its return trip and the Consul came on board complaining of his ill treatment by a group of Egyptian sailors and demanding help. Bartlett says: "I think the whole matter will be quietly settled in a few days. Our Consul is a Frenchman from New Orleans a quick fiery fellow and no doubt much to blame for the course he has pursued. He got himself in trouble only a year ago and stands in a very bad order with the Egyptian Government." Bartlett returned to the United States married in November 1875 and took a stateside post in Washington DC for a time. His wife Edith died in June 1877. By 1883 he takes up his journal again to record a final overseas posting this time aboard the USS Trenton. Bartlett records the ship's itinerary from Naples to Rome through the Suez Canal and on to Bombay Formosa and Nagasaki. In June 1884 the USS Trenton is in port in Seoul Korea. The ship provided an escort for the US minister General Foote to visit Seoul at the invitation of the King of Korea. Although Bartlett was not a member of the escort detail he did do some sightseeing around the city. He toured the grounds of the New Palace which had been partially destroyed by fire several years before and where the local population felt superstitious about living. Bartlett also continued his service as a Judge Advocate though in at least one case he was asked by a sailor to defend him in front of the courts martial Laid in is the small broadside printing of the General Court-Martial Order No. 11 dated Yokohama Japan July 29 1884 convincing Passed Asst. Paymaster James A. Ring of drunkenness. The sentence of the court found Ring suspended from rank and duty for two years but allowed to retain his present number on the list of Passed Assistant Paymasters during that time. Evidently Bartlett did a good job defending Ring. The printed broadside notes "the sentence is deemed by the Revising Authority as altogether inadequate to the offence but is approved in order that the offender may not entirely escape punishment." Bartlett records in his private journal that Ring was very grateful to him and presented him with a "very handsome present" as payment a Heizen Teapot cup and saucer. The USS Trenton was again called back to Seoul in December 1884. Both the Chinese and the Japanese were contending for influence in Korea. Early in December word had arrived of an insurrection in Seoul with a number of the Japanese-backed Korean Cabinet killed by anti-government Chinese troops. The US minister General Lucius Foote sent word that he needed protection and assistance and the USS Trenton was dispatched to his aid. Arriving in Chemul'po on Dec. 18 two officers and a detachment of ten men left the ship armed with 2000 rounds of cartridges and six days of rations to act as a guard for the US Consulate and escort Gen. and Mrs. Foote to safety. Rumors about the fate of some of the Korean government officials were abundant - Min Yong Ik was brutally attacked and there appeared to have been a slaughter of all Japanese found in the city. U.S. Naval Attache George Faulk was away in Fusan but the sailors successfully got the General and his wife aboard ship. Tensions in the region continued for most of the rest of the USS Trenton's time on the Asia Station. The ship sailed for home in June 1886 arriving back in the United States in September. Bartlett continued to serve in the Marine Corps taking a post at the Naval Academy in Annapolis Maryland in April 1887 in command of the Marine Corps Barracks there. He retired in 1898. He is buried at Arlington National Cemetery. Bartlett also compiled some 80pp. of notes and lists at the back of the journal including names of Americans he knew or met in Shanghai China Japan and Hong Kong lists of the "open ports" of Japan and China lists of officers aboard the Hartford the Contoocook the Sacramento plus the occasional recipe for curry or milk punch. <br/><br/> hardcover books
