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.

PROVENANCE: SIGNATURE OF KARL PEARSON 1857-1936. KARL PEARSON'S COPY WITH HIS BOLD SIGNATURE. First edition of the work that presented Poisson's 'Law of large numbers.' "He improved Laplace's work by relating it explicitly to Jacob Sernoulli'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 p. 489. / "Poisson's major work on probability was a book Recherches sur la probabilite. . . published in 1837. The book was in large part a treatise on probability theory after the manner of Laplace with an emphasis on the behavior of means of large numbers of measurements. The latter portion p. 318-415 dealt with the subject matter of the title. Some of this material was taken from memoirs Poisson published in the two preceding years. Only a charitable modern reading could identify a new concept in the work; yet the book contains the germ of the two things now most commonly associated with the Poisson's name. The first of these is the probability distribution now commonly called the Poisson distribution. . . In a section of the book concerned with the form of the binomial distribution for large numbers of trials Poisson does in fact derive this distribution in its cumulative form as a limit to the binomial distribution when the chance of a success is very small. The distribution appears on only one page in all of Poisson's work see p. 206. Although it is given no special emphasis tis brief notice did catch the eye of Cournot who republished it in 1843 with calculations demonstrating the effectiveness of the approximation Cournot 1843 . . . The second most common appearance of Poisson's name in modern literature is in connection with a generalization of the Bernoulli law of large numbers." :: Stigler. / "This work is significant for the author's participation in an important contemporary debate. 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. . . Poission 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." –DSB pp. 489. LAID WITHIN THIS VOLUME ARE FIVE PAGES ON FOUR LEAVES OF MATHEMATICAL NOTATIONS IN FRENCH SUGGESTING AN OWNERSHIP UNKNOWN PRIOR TO PEARSON. Karl Pearson 1857-1936 "was a major player in the early development of statistics as a serious scientific discipline in its own right. He founded the Department of Applied Statistics now the Department of Statistical Science at University College London in 1911; it was the first university statistics department in the world. The present departments of Statistical Science and Computer Science as well as the Genetics and Biometry group in Biology and the physical side of Anthropology are all part of his legacy to UCL." A major proponent of eugenics Pearson was also a protege and biographer of Sir Francis Galton. / REFERENCES: F. Fraunberger within DSB XV Supple.
