"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".

Virtue had also commissioned Nathaniel Willis to make letterpress descriptions of each image.

While Willis is first on the title page it is Bartlett's fine work that has made this the finest 19th century work on America from the artists' perspective. the plates view the Eastern U.S. before the full force of the Industrial Revolution changed the face of the eastern landscape forever.

All plates including frontis portrait two half title and map of the Northeastern United States hand-colored by a meticulous contemporary hand or a total of 120 plates hand-colored. 4to. 27.5 by 22 cm. iv 140 iv 106 pp with first volume also including the hand-colored frontis portrait of Bartlett the map and 66 plates the second volume 53 plates. 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

Light old folds one nick at bottom edge very good or better. A neatly written and fully legible document written out by Bartlett granting J.W. Isler who is “overseeing on his plantation of 20 negroes or more†exemption from military duty. The Second Conscription Act popularly known as the “Twenty Negro Law†was enacted by the Confederate Congress on October 11 1862. It exempted from military service one white overseer for every 20 enslaved people on a plantation. The purpose of this provision was to allow enough white men to stay home to defend against a domestic insurrection particularly after President Lincoln announced his Emancipation Proclamation which could encourage the enslaved to rebel. The law was highly unpopular among the vast majority of poorer white Southerners who fewer than 20 enslaved persons or none at all. A scarce primary source Civil War document from Alabama.
