183411437<p>London: J. Britton Burton Str. J. Taylor 30 Upper Gower Str. & B.R. Davies 16 George Str. Euston Squ. 1834. 1145 by 950mm 45 by 37.5 inches. Maps""Topographical Survey of the Borough of St. Marylebone Rare large-scale plan of Marylebone Folding engraved map with contemporary hand-colour in full dissected and mounted on linen. The plan depicts the parliamentary constituency of Marylebone which was brought into existence by the Great Reform Act of 1832; the constituency would last until 1885 when it was then split into eight new divisions. Marylebone returned two members to Parliament in 1832: the Liberals Viscount Portman - to whom the plan is dedicated among others - and Sir William Horne. The commissioners had recommended that the part of St Pancras parishes north of the Regent's Canal should not form part of the constituency and should remain in the parliamentary county of Middlesex as this was still a largely rural area - as can be seen upon the present plan. However the inhabitants of St. Pancras petitioned parliament for the inclusion of the entire parish and this was accepted. The plan is replete with information obtained by the commissioners involved in drawing up the new parliamentary constituencies. Below right is a key detailing the parishes Paddington coloured green Marylebone red and St Pancras yellow borough boundaries are marked by a yellow line and estate boundaries with red; a table of parish statistics including number of inhabited and uninhabited houses male and female population age and number of male and female servants property valuations comparative populations from 1801 to 1831 and numbers who voted in the 1832 election. Finally there is a table of churches chapels and municipal buildings detailing their cost and dates of foundation. To the lower left is a table of principal estates with the three parishes. Above the plan are 15 elevations and plans of churches chapels and municipal buildings; these include among others Euston Station All Souls Church Langham Place University College London the Foundling Hospital the Diorama and the Colosseum. The inclusion of these elevations and plans was the work of John Britton 1771-1857 who over saw the production of the plan and was a leading antiquarian and architectural historian.

1860250709New York: H. Dayton 1860. First Edition. Hardcover. Very Good. Duodecimo 354 pages brown embossed publisher's cloth spine dulled heel of spine worn a bit <br/><br/>Messrs. Barrett and Bartlett both produced campaign biographies of Lincoln in 1860. Confusing. Campaign biographies of 1860 and their variants were detailed by rare bookman Ernest J. Wessen in the PAPERS IN ILLINOIS HISTORY 1937. This variant of Bartlett is no. 25 in Monaghan's bibliography of Lincoln. Wessen says that both nos. 24 & 25 are first editions; however both of those were published by H. Dayton of NYC. Bartlett hastily devoted only 6 of these pages to Hannibal Hamlin. Sabin 3724; Wessen 2 q.v. - preceded by a 150 page booklet Monaghan 24unuuuuuuuuuuu with no coverage of Hamlin. The frontispiece portrait of Lincoln was engraved by R. S Jones from a photograph by Matthew Brady H. Dayton hardcover
31064<p>Small folio two pages plus integral address leaf in very good clean and legible condition.</p><p>1819 Grandson of a Signer of the Declaration of Independence supports "Toleration" School for religious liberty.</p><p>The grandson of Josiah Bartlett the fist Governor of New Hampshire and second signer after John Hancock of the Declaration of Independence was not as active in national politics as his brother Josiah Jr. who served in the New Hampshire State Senate and in the US Congress but Levi took a strong interest in political affairs in his hometown of Kingston as reflected in this letter to a Methodist clergyman who was also a pioneer educator heading three schools he helped found: An Academy in his own hometown of New Market August College in Kentucky and Allegheny College in Pennsylvania a distant forerunner of Wesleyan University.</p><p>Which is why Bartlett informed Ruter about a controversy over the founding of a new Academy in Kingston. But first he gave Ruter an account of proceedings at the town's Annual Meeting. Bartlett was apparently a Democratic-Republican in his politics and details the votes at the meeting between his party's candidates and their Federalist opponents for local offices for the state legislature and US Congress and for Governor and US Senator. But the main subject of the letter was the establishment of a Kingston Academy and where it should be located:</p><p>"I am confident if the place of setting it can be removed from the obligation to which we all agreed to be bound can be altered the only place must be on Mr. Loverens to be generally satisfactory. North or South of these two places will produce such a collision as can be remedied only by fixing a spot and opening a new subscription for that place. Mr. Sanborn has dealt with the subscribers in such a way that his land now on any terms will be quite out of the question; notwithstanding the good opinion we may formerly have had of it. Justice will lead to Union selfish policy may prove fatal to the best of causes. I shall ever disclaim the honor of being on the list of benefactors where justice and impartiality are thrown into background. I am conscious of the rectitude of my motives for the public good in the part I have taken in this business. But Calumny hath already attributed to my generosity unworthy motives never conceived by me. I have and still wish for the Public Good in this institution; if it can be had on righteous terms; under this view any place between the two corners that will promote the public good will suit me; But placed as I am no consideration would induce me to consent to injustice. I say to you this that I may not be considered as a mere automaton as easily moulded to selfish motives as to the cause of Truth and Justice."</p><p>If the highfalutin rhetoric about choosing a school site seems curious it can be understood with some background about the history of the proposed school. While it was incorporated by Methodists at Bartlett's urging they had specified that it should be a "Toleration Academy" open to all faiths - which appealed to Bartlett who was himself a Universalist "apostate" from his family's Congregationalist leanings and was instrumental in having the Methodist founders accede to these "toleration" principles: "That this Academy shall never come into the hands of any one Religious sect or Denomination whatever but shall be known by the name of Kingston Toleration Academy….That no sectarian principle of Religion shall be taught in said Academy; only General principles of Doctrine and Rules of Morality Piety Benevolence & strict Virtue be taught enforced & form a basis of Practical Religion. No one sect shall have greater liberties or privileges than another all tolerated & all put upon an equality." This may be seen in the context of the larger "toleration" movement about to be embraced by the entire state of New Hampshire which at that very moment after a long and heated debate was about to pass a "Toleration Act" which provided "That no person shall be compelled to join or support any congregation church or religious society without his express consent first had and obtained . And any person may be leaving a written notice with the clerk of the society be exempt from any future expenses." Specifically no citizen could be required to help pay funds for a school or any other religious-oriented institution which differed from his own religious faith.</p><p>It was poetic justice that the grandson of a "Founding Father" should be instrumental in supporting this cause of civil liberty within his own community.</p>
