18044307506Sydney: Government House 1804. Folded and a little aged yet very good condition. Vellum sheet measuring 330 x 230 mm. with manuscript notations to both faces including a site-sketch with measurements. <p><p>Early Sydney lease signed by Governor Philip Gidley King for an allotment in the centre of Sydney Town with a sketch of the site executed and signed by colonial surveyor George William Evans. Simeon Lord emancipee and to become a prominent mercantile figure in the Colony was apparently keen to acquire this allotment for he paid the considerable sum of £325 for the remainder of the lease in 1807. The location of the lease in the immediate vicinity of the Dry Store on Spring Row later Castlereagh Street was ideal for a merchant. Earlier he had constructed his private residence in close proximity to the Dry Store allowing officers of merchant vessels docked in the harbour to stay in his house while remaining close to valuable cargo and merchandise held in the Dry Store.</p> <p>King was a pivotal figure in the early history of Australian settlement. His skill as a naval officer attracted the respect of Captain Arthur Phillip who selected him as second lieutenant of the First Fleet convict transport Sirius. Prior to assuming the position of Governor in 1800 King served in Sydney and Norfolk Island and was widely respected for his skilled leadership through the difficult early years of settlement.</p> <p>Governor King awarded the seven year lease to Thomas Randall in May 1804 for a ground rent of 10 shillings per year. The subsequent early history of the site is recorded in two manuscript notes detailing further sale contracts to the reverse of this lease. It was first sold on to Edward Wells who then on-sold the lease to Sydney merchant Simeon Lord the prominent colonial entrepreneur who rose from humble beginnings Lord was transported to New South Wales in 1791. He began his trading career selling rum outside the monopoly controlled by the officers of the New South Wales Corps and later invested in land shipping and manufacturing throughout the colony.</p> <p>This lease is noteworthy for the inclusion of the site sketch by George Evans the colony's surveyor from 1803 but also a notable early colonial artist and inland explorer. The grant is fully signed 'Philip Gidley King' and the sketch is likewise signed 'G.W. Evans acting surveyor'. Examples of Gidley King's signature are uncommon on the market and this grant is not listed in the standard reference Land Grants 1788-1809 edited by R.J. Ryan.</p> </p> . Government House unknown
69440IDE Simeon. A Biographical Sketch of the Life of William B. Ide: With A Minute and Interesting Account of One of the Largest Emigrating Companies. 3000 Miles over land From the East to the Pacific Coast. And What is Claimed as the Most Authentic and Reliable Account of "The Virtual Conquest of California in June 1846 By the Bear Flag Party." Claremont N.H.: Printed for the subscribers 1880. 22391pp. Half title. 12mo. Original blue cloth stamped in black and gilt. Some staining and soiling to boards minor edge wear. Hinges tender bookplate removed from front pastedown. Internally clean. Very good. Presentation copy of the first edition inscribed by Simeon Ide to the Hon. Uriel Crocker on a front flyleaf. Also includes a brief pencil correction on p.93 likely in Ide's hand. William Ide emigrated to California in 1845. In 1846 after rumors that the Mexican Republic was going to expel all non-citizens he led a group of settlers in what became known as the Bear Flag Revolt after the California Bear Flag raised as they took control of the Sonoma pueblo. Ide was named Commander of the California Republic. Most of the party afterwards joined Lt. Col. John C. Fremont in seizing California from Mexico. Uriel Crocker was a founder of leading Boston publishers Crocker & Brewster and later sat on the board of several railroad companies including Atlantic & Pacific Railroad the South Pacific Railroad and the St. Louis & San Francisco Railroad. "This SKETCH contains an account of the early years of W.B. Ide recollections by his daughter of the family's trip across the plains to California in 1845 and an account of the Bear Flag revolt of 1846 as told by Ide to his brother in 1849 and in a letter to a Senator Wambough which as Ide died in 1852 must have been written within a few years of the event. An interesting account of the overland journey of 1845 and important source on the beginnings of American rule in California in 1846." - Streeter. The work is also important in that it is one of the few overland journals written from the point of view of a woman Ide's daughter who at eighteen accompanied her father west in 1845 and is unique in its exclusive treatment of the Bear Flag Revolt. Howes speculates that this first edition printed by the author at the age of eighty-six on a handpress "was prob. unknown
1837153292Paris: Bachelier 1837. Applying probability theory to criminology First edition of Poisson's important work on the probability of criminal and civil verdicts "in large part a treatise on probability theory after the manner of Laplace with an emphasis on the behaviour of means of large numbers of measurements" Stigler pp. 182-3. "The legitimacy of the application of the calculus to areas relating to the moral order that is to say within the broad area of what is now called the humanistic sciences was bitterly disputed beginning in 1820 in politically conservative circles as well as by Saint-Simonians and by such philosophers as Auguste Comte. Poisson was bold enough to take pen in hand to defend the universality of the probabilistic thesis and to demonstrate the conformability to the order of nature of the regularities that the calculus of probability without recourse to hidden causes reveals when things are subjected to a great number of observations. It is to Poisson that we owe the term 'law of large numbers'. He improved Laplace's work by relating it explicitly to Jacob Bernoulli's fundamental theorem and by showing that the invariance in the prior probabilities of mutually exclusive events is not a necessary condition for calculating the approximate probabilities. It is also from Poisson that we derive the study of a problem that Laplace had passed over the case of great asymmetry between opposite events such that the prior probability of either event is very small" DSB.

1908122897London: Privately Printed at the Chiswick Press 1908. A proud Jewish father publishes for his children First and only edition. A truly sumptuous piece of private publishing produced as a gift for the author's children and grandchildren handsomely printed at the Chiswick Press and finely bound by an unnamed binder of real quality. Among the varied pieces is "A Dream by One who Dreamt It" a prose fantasy conceived at the time of the Dreyfus case of a Jewish state "a beautiful land of very vast extent" where Jews driven out from the civilized countries of Europe by "hatred and envy of the race" live in paradisal self-government. The volume carries the bookplate of Bernard Alexander Isaac 1871-1938. If he is one of the children for whom the book was printed then "Pater" was Frederick Simeon Isaac c.1829-1915. With his siblings Benjamin and Alexander Frederick was a partner in Isaac & Samuel a City of London firm with worldwide interests. He was also a director of several South American utility and finance companies. In the 1871 Census he was described as a "South American merchant" and in the 1901 Census as a "financial merchant". He left £630000 including a range of legacies to Jewish charities. The book is likely to have been printed in small numbers and is unsurprisingly rare. There are no copies listed on Library Hub and Library Hub lists only the Toronto Public Library copy. We were unable to trace any other copy in libraries or auction records. Tall octavo 247 x 184 mm.

181225627New York 1812. Engraved map hand-coloured in outline sectioned and linen-backed at a contemporary date. Housed in a black morocco backed box. Unique copy of De Witt's important 1804 map of New York with county divisions updated to 1812.<br/> <br/> In 1778 George Washington appointed Simeon De Witt as the assistant to Robert Erskine the first Geographer and Surveyor General of the United States a position De Witt attained several years later. Following the war De Witt became the first Surveyor General of New York a position he held for an unprecedented fifty years. Among his first acts was to create the definitive first map of the state based on actual surveys. Following the settlement of the state's boundaries and accurate surveys which he directed De Witt published a large wall map in 1802 - the first map of the state and the progenitor of similar mappings in other states. Two years later De Witt issued this "contracted" version of his wall map intending its circulation to meet a wider audience. According to Allen however the map which was sold by subscription "does not seem to have been as widely distributed as its predecessor although it appears to have been designed to reach a wider audience. It may be that De Witt's 1804 map was unable to find a niche in competition with other small-scale maps of the state such as those of Samuel Lewis" Allen. Nevertheless as Streeter commented De Witt's 1804 map is "one of the earliest separate folding maps of New York after it became a state." Interestingly the present copy suggests that De Witt or an enterprising mapseller made an additional attempt to market this map. This copy of the 1804 map is updated to 1812; that is the map is as printed in 1804 but the county boundaries shown via period hand colouring depicts the state in 1812: the far western counties established in 1808 are clearly delineated e.g. Chautauqua Cattaraugus and Niagara counties but Erie County created in 1821 is not shown; Putnam county is shown separate from Dutchess County as per its establishment in 1812; Oneida County is shown with its western boundary on Lake Ontario i.e. before the 1816 establishment of Oswego County; among other additions. In all the state is divided into 47 counties. We find no other example of De Witt's 1804 map altered in this fashion. The exactness and appearance of the colouring however suggests it to be a distinct issue of the map or done for some official purpose as opposed to an early owner's mere manuscript addition.<br/> <br/> Ristow American Maps and Mapmakers pp. 73-83; Rumsey 2489; Streeter Sale 893; David Y.

Backstrip chipped with gatherings exposed but everything holding just fine; boards a bit scuffed. An extensive compilation in two parts of French idioms and proverbs -- listed in alphabetical order and with explanations. The preface suggests joint authorship but Joachim-Simeon Lucet the London-based author of "Langue Francaise" 1843 undoubtedly had some hand in the creation of this interesting rigorous and frequently amusing manuscript.

Simeon Ackroyd Shaw 1785 - 1859 was a 19th-century English scientific writer industrial historian and teacher. He spent his working life in the Staffordshire Potteries now the city of Stoke-on-Trent England. Shaw originated in Lancashire and as a young man he arrived in the Potteries to work on the Potteries Gazette and Newcastle-under-Lyme Advertiser newspaper. After some 20 years of newspaper and printing work living in Wolstanton he then went into teaching. He ran several teaching academies in the district. His first book was this 6-volume work which was based on his obviously very comprehensive series of popular short lectures on everything from natural species to meteorites. First Edition. Boards.

199152807Washington: Library of Congress 1991. Limited edition. Hardcover. Fine condition. 92/500. The Library's most important Hebrew illuminated manuscript is known as the "Washington Haggadah" because of its location in Washington D.C. A Haggadah the plural is haggadot is a liturgical work that is recited in the home at the festive evening meal of Passover in order to fulfill the biblical injunction Exodus 13:8 to recount the story of the Exodus to each generation. Haggadot are often illustrated the theory being that this will keep the children interested and awake during the reciting of the text. <br /> <br /> Completed on January 29 1478 the Washington Haggadah was signed by Joel ben Simeon a well-known scribe and artist responsible for more than a dozen other Hebrew illuminated manuscripts found in collections around the world. In addition to the full text of the Passover night liturgy the Washington Haggadah features stunningly intricate illuminated panels and a series of Passover illustrations that include depictions of "The Four Sons" "The Search for Leaven" and "The Messiah Heralded." The enduring popularity of Joel ben Simeon's miniatures is reflected in the many reproductions of his work that have appeared over the years in anthologies of Jewish art and manuscript painting. <br /> <br /> In 1991 the Library of Congress published this facsimile edition of the Washington Haggadah accompanied by a companion volume with a detailed scholarly description analysis and assessment of the manuscript. This edition faithfully preserves the original text with the Hebrew facsimile appearing in the original right-to-left orientation. It will be read and treasured by anyone interested in Jewish history medieval illuminated manuscripts and the history of the Haggadah. The Haggadah itself is bound in leather. The commentary by Myron Weinstein is a separate volume bound in cloth with both volumes encased in a cloth covered clamshell box. Library of Congress hardcover
