Simeon Brown was the most memorable event in the history of the First Presbyterian Church of Lebanon's history. Held at the Church in front of the Miami Presbytery Rev. Brown was charged with unsoundness of faith for denying the doctrine of limited atonement. His beliefs which were cited in the charges included those that "Christ gave his life for the world and it is absurd to limit the word world to the elect." The Presbytery found him guilty and Rev. Brown subsequently wrote in his defense that "I maintained that our Lord Jesus Christ is a Savior provided for and sincerely offered in the Gospel to all who hear it but the Presbytery held that He is provided for the elect only." Found guilty of this one charge the sympathy of the public was chiefly with him and the members of his church were mostly on his side. Rev. Brown chose to separate from the Presbyterian Church and the trial led to the formation of the Lebanon Congregational Church.</p> Lebanon, Ohio: Printed at the Western Star Office, 1856. paperback

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

Covers scuffed and creased rear wrap reinforced on the inside with cellophane tape the first few pages with a tide mark at the fore-edge.

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.

180559752Waitsfield Vermont 1805. Narrow tall folio approx. 15½" x 6¾" 112 pp. in ink five separately sewn signatures; a few pages loose some pages darkened or chipped at edges; some entries faint. This account book is the record of the practice of either Stephen Pierce or Simeon Stoddard practicing in Waitsfield Vermont between 1795 and 1806. These were the second and third physicians to have settled and practiced in Waitsfield. Most likely it is the record of Pierce who is supposed to have settled in Waitsfield in 1795. The first physician in Waitsfield Moses Heaton remained there only between 1793 and 1796. Depending on the source Pierce was the third physician to practice in Waitsfield and/or the first to practice in Moretown a settlement to the northeast of Waitsfield. He farmed as well as doctored and his farm lay mostly in Moretown his office in Waitsfield. He was a respected and successful physician who served the community in other capacities: as selectman representative delegate to the Constitutional Convention of 1814 and Assistant Judge of the County Court. One source claims that he succeeded Judge Kinne December 1 1814 and served one year and that he was a justice of the peace in Waitsfield. He died either in 1854 after living in Waterbury and Berlin Vermont or he died in Barnard in 1864. See: History of the Town of Waitsfield Vermont 1782-1908 by Matt Bushnell Jones Boston 1909 p. 182. Simeon Stoddard on the other hand was born December 12 1761 either in Saybrook Connecticut or in Waitsfield. On August 19 1784 he married Abiah Thompson who had been born in 1763 in Waitsfield. Some sources state that he moved to Waitsfield from Saybrook in 1794. He served the southwestern area of Waitsfield and died in 1841. This account book records each date of visit the householder's name the relationship of patient to householder the medicine prescribed and its price and the cost of the doctor's visit. The doctor whether it be Stoddard or Pierce treated thirty to forty patients each month and as many as fifty-six in December of 1801. He charged as little as 4 pence and as much as 42 shillings 10 pence for his services. As a comparison the tax on an acre of land in Waitsfield was 2 pence an acre. The poll tax list of 1795 showed fifty voters so the doctor seems to have treated the members of nearly every family. The diseases treated are not stated in the entries made but he seems to have prescribed antimonium tartaricum in many instances and also digitalis. Waitsfield was founded by Col. Benjamin Wait or Waite and others who were granted a charter on February 25 1782. Wait had served under Gen. Jeffery Amherst in the French and Indian Wars and had fought in the Revolutionary War. Both Waitsfield and Moretown are now somewhat renowned as the areas around Mad River a popular ski resort. Mad River has been remarkable from the settling of the area as the source of numerous sudden destructive and deadly floods. The Green Mountains the northern extent of the Appalachians rise just to the west of the town. The doctor records having treated members of the Wait family including Benjamin's wife Martha d. April 3 1804 Ezra Thomas and Gilbert. The family names of the community are listed making this a good source for early settlement history and genealogical research. Among the householders who required the doctor's services are Smolly Skinner Taylor Spalding Hitchcock Parkhurst Carpenter the family had a tannery and potash works Heaton Burdick Johnson Rider Fuller Symonds McNight Chamberlain Atherton Lyon Butterfield Barnave Osgood Foster Hobson Robinson Brun Latimer and Sherman. Many of the names appear often. unknown

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
