An astronomical diary; or almanack for the year of our Lord Christ 1772 : . Calculated for the meridian of Boston New-England lat. 42 25 north

17713835Three engravings by Paul Revere are certainly the most distinctive feature of this Boston almanac for 1772 namely:Miss Emma Leach a dwarf born in Beverley Massachusetts on front cover.The Patriotic American Farmer John Dickinson.Mrs. Catharine M'Caulay.Almanac making in colonial America was a rather unscrupulous affair at times. The notion of copyright was unknown among publishers. Indeed almanac piracy or perhaps liberal borrowing was the accepted industry practice.The present almanac offers an excellent example of heavy borrowing. The Boston Ames Almanack for 1772 was published in two versions: one by Ezekiel Russell and the other a pirated version by an unnamed printer/publisher. The text and images of the two are very similar although the cuts of the three subjects differ very slightly between the two almanacs. Paul Revere's daybook for December 1771 identifies two purchasers of plates for a 1772 Ames almanac Ezekiel Russell and Edes & Gill. Within a matter of a week it's apparent that Revere produced two sets of plates of the same subjects for competing almanacs.In an advertisement for Russell's version of the Ames almanac he "hopes that the publick with their usual impartiality will give him preference in buying of his Ames' genuine almanac before any pirated edition." Revere's contributions were in both the original and this pirated edition of the almanac.References: Evans: 11961; Drake Almanacs of the U.S.: 3205; Brigham Paul Revere's Engravings: pp. 202-203; Hamilton Early American Book Illustrators and Wood Engravers: 56; O'Neal Early American Almanacs: 115 mistakenly citing Russell as publisher.Condition: Disbound; leaves are separated with a later paper reinforcement in the gutter of two leaves.

179946241Philadelphia: Robert Campbell 1799. First American edition. Hardcover. g to vg. Large octavo 8 1/2 x 5 1/2". xxiii 1 297 1pp Vol. 1; 267 1 xxivpp Vol. 2. Modern brown cloth with gold lettered leather title label to spine. Engraved frontispiece to both volumes. Lacking the separately printed atlas as usual. First American edition of this official report on the British Macartney Embassy to China that took place between 1792 and 1794. It was written after the return to England by the Secretary to the mission Sir George Leonard Staunton 1st Baronet 1737-1801 based on his own observations and notes from other crewmembers including his twelve-year-old son Sir George Thomas Staunton 2nd Baronet. "The account offers rich insights into the beginnings of British Imperialism in China and thus makes it an important primary source for the historiography of Sino-Western relations. There is an academic dispute whether the account marks a sudden turning point in British-Chinese dynamics or reflects a slow and complex divergence. While the political and economic ambitions of the embassy failed the account by Staunton brought back detailed descriptions of and observations on the Chinese culture that were received with curiosity in the West and led to the commercial success of the book and the publication of several translations and subsequent writings on the Macartney Mission." From Wikipedia This work is splendidly illustrated throughout with eight stunning engravings by Samuel Seymour two in volume one six in volume two including the frontispieces as called for in the directions to the binder. The xxiv page appendix contains detailed tables and charts dealing with population and socio-economic information. Previous owner's stamp E. W. Sage at verso of first frontispiece and at upper margin of first title. Moderate and sporadic foxing / age-toning throughout. Binding in very good interior in good to very good condition.

While widely recognized for their beauty the reproductions from Hamilton's vases have become evidence of the irreconcilable problem of neoclassicism in the Romantic period. Significant changes in the way the vases were engraved over a span of thirty or forty years demonstrate how an immutable collection of objects is subject to radical shifts in representation in response to the social and artistic styles of the time. hardcover
