Sent by the Reverend Charles F. Dowd to Professor Edward NorthABAA

SARATOGA SPRING WATERS . . . THESE WATERS ARE BOTTLED FRESH FROM EACH OF THE SPRINGS IN SO CAREFUL AND SECURE A MANNER THAT THEY PRESERVE ALL THEIR MEDICINAL VALUE FOR YEARS" - Advertising circular for bottle spring water sent by the inventor of time zones to the most important professor at Hamilton College

1868009701Saratoga Springs to Clinton New York 1868. Envelope or Cover. Very good. This two-page handbill measures 6" x 9.75" and is illustrated with an image of the Congress and Columbian Springs in Saratoga Springs New York. An addendum identifying the "Discounts for 1869" is attached to the reverse. The handbill is enclosed in its original envelope sent by the Reverend Charles F. Dowd from Saratoga Springs to Professor Edward North of Hamilton College in Clinton New York. The envelope is franked with a black two-cent Jackson stamp Scott #73 that has been canceled with a fancy "P" carved cork handstamp. Both the handbill and envelope are in nice shape. The alleged benefits of Saratoga Springs naturally-carbonated mineral water can be traced by to the Mohawk and Iroquois tribes that are said to have drank and bathed in the waters for its supposed healing and curative powers. Early settlers were convinced and over time incredible claims about their power exploded in early America. They were said to cure kidney and liver disease rheumatism diabetes scrofula cancer malaria and "weakness of women" in addition to numerous other conditions and diseases. By the mid-1850s Saratoga was the pre-eminent vacation destination for the uber-wealthy including the Vanderbilts Whitneys J.P. Morgan Diamond Jim Brady and Lillian Russell. Soon thereafter resort proprietors expanded their operations to include bottling their waters for shipment especially within New York state. This circular was produced in the early days of Saratoga water shipping by the suppliers Hotchkiss Sons who promise to deliver bottled water from the Empire Congress and Columbian Springs "safely and securely packed in boxes suitable for shipment to any part of the world." Reverend Dowd and his wife were co-principals of Temple Grove Ladies Seminary now Skidmore College in Saratoga Springs. Dowd however is most famous for inventing the system of U.S. time zones that was eventually adopted world-wide to improve railroad scheduling. Professor North served as the Professor of Greek and ancient languages at Hamilton College for over 58 years. He also served as the president of the New York State Teacher's Association and on the board of trustees for the Clinton Grammar School.

Sarah Gibbs to the Reverend Dr. Samuel F. JarvisABAA

Letter from an American passenger describing the arrival of an immigration ship and informing a prominent but despicable Connecticut minister that his long-suffering wife who would soon initiate one of the most notorious divorce cases of the 19th century would shortly be returning from Europe

1837009320Ship Burgundy to Middletown Connecticut 1837. Envelope or Cover. Very good. This two-page folded letter measures 16" x 10" unfolded. It bears a circular red New York "Ship" postmark dated August 16 and is in nice shape. The ship Burgundy regularly brought immigrants from Europe to the United States. On this voyage which began at Le Havre in April it transported 41 U.S. citizens and 79 immigrant farmers from Prussia and Bavaria to New York see the Immigrant Ship Transcribers Guild On-Line where Ms. Gibbs reports in her letter to Dr. Jarvis that it was quarantined for three days: "Tho' there has been no sickness on board except measles - they are obliged to cleance the ship at Staten Island and then land strange passengers and our baggage cannot be taken out until the ship comes up unless we consent to it being examined by an inferior officer." Ms. Gibbs also informs the Reverend Jarvis that "I saw Mrs J and daughter a few days before I left Paris they were all well very much occupied in preparation for their return to America It was their intention to sail the 8th of this month.". No doubt Ms. Gibbs would have no idea that this information would be something that Jarvis simply did not want to hear as Sarah was returning to the United States to begin divorce proceedings. In 1810 Samuel Jarvis then a young minister recently graduated from Yale married Sarah McCurdy Hart one of the "seven graces" the most beautiful women in New England at the time. Although Jarvis became quite wealthy as one of the most prominent pastors in New England and the couple had five children together their marriage was miserable from the start. It eventually ended in one of the most notorious divorces of 18th century America and was chronicled in newspapers and pamphlets of the day. Samuel was a serious humorless and stubborn man while Sarah was high strung tempestuous and easily angered. Soon after the wedding they began to annoy anger and infuriate each other. Samuel was also physically abusive not only to Sarah but to at least one of his daughters. During the divorce proceedings which were initiated soon after Sarah returned from her mutually agreed upon exile in Europe it came to light that Jarvis had repeatedly punched her in the head seized and wrung her nose dragged her across floors held her captive in a small apartment forced her to remain silent at all times limited her food and attempted to commit her to an insane asylum. A remarkable and scarce first-hand account of the arrival of an immigrant ship in New York made even more compelling by its connection to the infamous Jarvis-Hart divorce. At the time of listing no similar accounts of an immigrant ship's arrival in New York are for sale in the trade. There are no records at the Rare Book Hub or OCLC of similar accounts being held by institutions or sold at auction. Collections of Jarvis papers are held by the Episcopal Diocese of Connecticut and the New York Public Library. unknown books

BY.ONE OF THE MINISTERS OF THE UNITED PRESBYTERIAN CHURCHES IN THE CITY OF NEW-YORK. New York: Greenleaf. 1793. 38 2 blanks pp. Very Good. On the final blank is Miller's written notes. The Tammany Society should "stand as guardians over those inestimable rights and privileges which have been so dearly purchased." Christianity teaches the equality of all. Slavery will "be forever banished from a nation" which regards everyone "as subject to the same great laws and amenable to the same awful tribunal in the end." Evans 25823. 2. A DISCOURSE DELIVERED IN THE NEW PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH NEW-YORK: BEFORE THE GRAND LODGE OF THE STATE OF NEW-YORK AND THE BRETHREN OF THAT FRATERNITY ASSEMBLED IN GENERAL COMMUNICATION ON THE FESTIVAL OF ST. JOHN THE BAPTIST JUNE 24TH 1795. New York: Childs. 1795. 32pp. Light to moderate foxing Good. Verso of title page has Miller's notes laid in explaining another of his discourses should have been inserted. His Discourse says Masonic principles "are such as the blessed Redeemer perpetually dropped from his hallowed lips." Evans 29081. 3. A SERMON DELIVERED FEBRUARY 5 1799; RECOMMENDED BY THE CLERGY OF THE CITY OF NEW-YORK TO BE OBSERVED AS A DAY OF THANKSGIVING HUMILIATION AND PRAYER ON ACCOUNT OF THE REMOVAL OF A MALIGNANT AND MORTAL DISEASE WHICH HAD PREVAILED IN THE CITY SOME TIME BEFORE.

A SERMON DELIVERED MAY 9 1798 RECOMMENDED BY THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES TO BE OBSERVED AS A DAY OF GENERAL HUMILIATION FASTING AND PRAYER. New-York: Swords. 1798. 46 2 blanks pp. Very Good.

New York: Swords. 1800. 39 1 blank pp with the half title. Light toning Very Good. Evidently Miller's sermon was similar to one delivered by Dr. Erskine of Edinburgh because an 'Advertisement' on the verso of the title page denies that "such coincidence" was the result of plagiarism. Evans 37964. Stillwell 171a. 6. A SERMON DELIVERED BEFORE THE NEW-YORK MISSIONARY SOCIETY. APRIL 6TH 1802.

The Romanists who blindly take everything from the infallible oracle of their Church think it impossible they can be wrong and therefore disposed most violently to condemn others." FIRST EDITION.

First edition. "Collection of sixty-three fictional pieces all with some moral to be discerned in them though it's not always clear. Some are very short indeed including a number of animal fables while others are fully developed short stories. 'Bad Air and Water' lays the downfall of twin girls despite the generous gifts of a fairy godmother to a negligent mother who let them read . sensation novels! Some present parables. Another ruefully meditates on the unhappy fate of the man who invented the 'glossometre' which records and classifies a person's statements 'Observations on the weather 100; on the crops 50; to his own praise 100; to his neighbor's blame 200; faults found with others which are also his own 199.'. Nobody will keep it and it is turned out of every home as well as a pulpit. The collection presents a study in a cluster of related literary styles that are largely out of favor today but which have been historically important and which have shaped the work of such authors as Nathaniel Hawthorne and Franz Kafka." - Robert Eldridge.
