Vernon Township: Official Records of Town Council

1877886Vernon Township Richland County Ohio 1877. Folio. 310 x 200 mm. 13 x 8 inches. Manuscript in ink. 500 pp. missing the first 3 pages. Contemporary calf well worn spine separating. Paper stock a bit brown with age; final 30 pages and lower board damaged by water. With faults a legible and useful history of Vernon Ohio. Valuable compilation of early records for the town of Vernon Ohio which was organized March 9 1825 out of the north half of Sandusky and was at this time six miles square. The population in 1840 was about one thousand. After 1845 Vernon became part of Crawford County and is well watered by the tributaries of the Sandusky River. This 'clerk's book' contains records of indenture cattle ear marks election results and an alphabetized census of "white male persons subject to perform military duties" taken in 1844. In addition there are local ordinances testimonials and depositions on town issues records of road condition and expenditures to maintain them land conveyances surety bonds and trustee services and miscellaneous town financial business as recorded by the town clerk. In addition to the records of town business and there are recorded a number of indentures from local women binding their sons to local farmers to learn the business of running a farm. In March of 1841 Mary Ann Nicolin is recorded as making an indenture for her son John the Baptist Nicolin age seven with Thomas Roe for four years. The contract outlines the terms of the indenture and mentoring that John the Baptist Nicolin will receive from Mr. Roe. Another example is an indenture between Barbara Brown and Peter Bauer binding her son age seven to Bauer until he reaches the age eighteen. One can only guess what the situation was that compelled Mrs. Brown to apprentice her boy for eleven years to local farmer to learn the trade of farming. John Warner and George Keller were town clerks both coming from York County Pennsylvania in 1837 as did several of the other early settlers to Vernon. Names of dozens of other early settlers who populated Crawford County are found in these records with information on their lively hoods and positions in society. "This section of country presents the evidence of real prosperity. It is inhabited largely by industrious energetic and hardy people who came from Pennsylvania Maryland and other Middle States." 886 . unknown

Greek Horizons. Volume 1 No. 1 all published.

112696Athens The Icaros Publishing Company 1946. . Periodical one of 1000 copies signed by John Waller; 4to 24.5 x 16.8 cm; partly unopened illustrations by Osbert Lancaster holograph corrections to the Editorial some toning to leaves else unmarked internally; original wrappers printed in red and black slight creasing to corners and extremities mild soiling some loss to spine at foot else very good. The first and only appearance of Greek Horizons a literary journal founded in Athens in 1946 by British author and war correspondent Derek Patmore 1908-1972. This copy is signed three times by one of the contributors British war poet Sir John Waller 1917-1995 a cofounder of the Salamander Society of poets and writers in Cairo during World War II. Inscribed by him on the editorial page 'John Waller's signed copy / JSW'. He has also signed both his poems on pp.24-25. Patmore intended Greek Horizons to be a literary quarterly highlighting Greek culture through the lens of prominent British authors and artists living in Greece at the end of World War II while the Greek civil war was still raging but the 1000 copies printed in 1946 marked its only appearance. What makes this volume exceptional is the notability of the contributors among whom were classicist Rex Warner who contributed an unpublished translation of Aeschylus' Prometheus Bound novelist Lawrence Durrell and author and environmentalist Kaity Argyropoulou. Durrell perhaps the best known of the contributors wrote The Telephone a short story that was an early version of Patmos which appeared in Reflections on a Marine Venus 1953. Durrell was a significant influence on Patmore and helped inspire the idea for Greek Horizons Genova p.92. Patmore's plans for a second issue came to a premature halt when he left Athens abruptly in the autumn of 1946 - never to return. As such copies of this important publication are incredibly rare. An important English publication in Greece one of only 1000 copies and featuring a superb group of contributors. Genova A.M. 2022.

HOMES IN THE WEST. RED CLOUD WEBSTER COUNTY. NEBRASKA. RED CLOUD AND REPUBLICAN VALLEY NEBRASKA

187846954Red Cloud: Argus Steam Print n. d. ca 1878. 1878. First edition. First edition. 8vo. 13 1/2" x 12" illustrated map on one side plus pictures of the Farmers and Merchants Bank and the home of J. L. Miner Red Cloud and front and rear cover panels. The other side promotes Webster County and Red Cloud plus views of homes of prominent residents as well as businesses. A promotional booklet with plat map produced by the real estate firm of Warner & Warren of Republican Valley. Touted here are both Webster County and the city of Red Cloud including the businesses public schools street-car lines factories creamery real estate railroads and more. Advertisements for the Burlington & Missouri River Railway as well as the Chicago Burlington and Quincy R. R. both of which ran from Chicago to Red Cloud are included as well. The map of Webster County Nebraska shows the town of Red Cloud and sixteen of its neighboring counties as well as railroad lines rivers and property divisions. This map was produced by Fort Abstract Co. of Red Cloud said here to keep a complete set of books and plats of all towns and sub-divisions. Illustrations depict buildings in Red Cloud various residences of town citizens and appealing views of the town. Red Cloud was founded on homestead land in 1871 by a group of men including Silas Garber 1833-1905 who would go on to serve as Nebraska's Governor from 1875 to 1879. The town was named by Garber and local businessmen in honor of the chief of the Olgalala tribe of the Teton-Lakota Sioux. When Webster County was organized Red Cloud was designated as the county seat. In 1879 the Burlington & Missouri River Railway reached Red Cloud -- stimulating immigration from America's eastern seaboard and bringing a variety of cultural heritages to town including those of Germany Scandinavia Great Britain and Canada Austro-Hungary aka Bohemians and so forth. The town's cultural melting pot was marvelously depicted in the literary works of Willa Cather who lived in Red Cloud for several years with her family beginning in 1883 at the age of nine. Cather would use the town as the basis for such fictional towns as "Black Hawk" in My Antonia 1918. We could find no copies recorded in OCLC. A few small old water stains to the rear cover short separations and small punctures along old folds. Argus Steam Print, n. d. (ca 1878). unknown

Catalogue of Western Manuscripts in the Old Royal and King's Collections. 4 volumes complete set

1921BIBLIO-18797Trustees of the British Museum London first edition 1921. 4 vols cloth 41 x 32 cm. xliv 360 vii 402 ix 384 xl pp 125 plates. . A contemporary review by Reginald L. Poole praises: ".the four stately volumes in large quarto now before us. No catalogue of any great library has ever been attempted on such a scale and certainly none can rival it in the completeness of its scholarship or the perfection of its work in detail. .The technical finish of the book is incomparable and the printers have co-operated in making it a splendid production. It is printed with wonderful accuracy in a noble type; the paper is excellent and the volumes are uncommonly easy to use. The catalogue of the Royal manuscripts occupies the first two volumes. The third contains a description of the King's manuscripts ; this collection inconveniently named forms part of the fine library of George III which was presented to the nation by George IV. That library is famous for its printed books but the 446 manuscripts in it comprise few of remarkable interest. Most of the volume is taken up by two indexes which call for special admiration. The general index is drawn up with extraordinary completeness. .The second index is of initia or incipits in various languages. The compilers say that ' the Royal collection includes so much of the common stock of a medieval library that the Latin index will it is hoped be found useful by many who may wish to identify unnamed treatises'. This is too modest an aspiration : the index covers so much longer a range of centuries than those of Vattasso and Little that it must at once rank as an indispensable work of reference for students of manuscripts. The fourth volume consists of a series of 125 plates giving beautifully reproduced facsimiles from 144 manuscripts of which two-thirds were written or probably written in England.The volume is an important contribution to palaeography.". From the introduction to the work: "The volume of plates fortunately prepared before the war forms a special feature of the Catalogue which it is hoped will be welcome both to palaeographers and to students of art. The 125 plates include representations of 99 manuscripts written or probably written in England and since nearly 50 of these are illuminated they serve to give a good idea of English mediaeval art the great merits of which are often ignored. French art which alone can rival it is well though not fully represented by 26 plates of which 24 are illuminated : Flemish and Italian work are less adequately represented. Four plates are devoted to handwritings of the 16th and 17th centuries and two to examples of the autographs of well-known scholars. A chronological table enables the student to follow the course of palaeographical and artistic development. A set formerly owned by C H St John Hornby founder of the Ashendene Press and noted collector of manuscripts with his red and black bookplate on the front pastedown endpapers. Some pencil notes to margins. Some mild rubbing to the cloth and the plate volume is a little shaken offsetting to endpapers otherwise a Very Good set with an excellent provenance.
