1878115491Adelaide: W.C. Cox Government Printer 1878. First Edition. Paperback. Very Good. Adelaide W.C. Cox Government Printer 1878. Octavo 24 pages. Title-wrappers; trifling silverfish damage along the spine; tiny tear to the middle of the leading edge of the last four leaves expertly sealed; last page a little marked; a very good copy. The first edition; it was reissued in 1879 as an addendum to Taplin's 'The Folklore Manners Customs and Languages of the South Australian Aborigines' and reprinted the following year with reset contents page and variant title page.

188081962Adelaide: E. Spiller Government Printer 1880. Paperback. Very Good. Adelaide E. Spiller Government Printer 1880/ 1878. Octavo 24 pages. Title-wrappers slightly marked and a little dusty; tear to one leaf expertly closed; bottom corner of another leaf a little marked; a very good copy. First published as a separate pamphlet in 1878 it was reissued in 1879 as an addendum to Taplin's 'The Folklore Manners Customs and Languages of the South Australian Aborigines' and reprinted the following year with reset contents page and variant title page. The title page differs in a number of ways: the recently deceased author is now referred to as 'the late'; the Government Printer is E. Spiller not W.C. Cox; the date is 1880 and different fonts have been used. Interestingly we have discovered that both the 1878 and 1880 imprints have been used as addenda to the 1879 book and it is almost certainly another way of determining the status of the original photographs in that work.

Octavo viii 174 2 24 'The Grammar of the Narrinyeri Tribe' xii lithographed 'Facsimiles of Letters Written by Aborigines' one leaf folding 2 25-28 index pages including a page of lithographed music plus 9 lithographs from drawings by Aboriginal artists and 7 original albumen silver photographs 3 are approximately 105 × 145 mm; 4 are approximately 115 × 95 mm mounted on captioned leaves. Original green cloth attractively blocked in gilt on the front board and in blind at the rear; spine ruled and lettered in gilt; covers a little worn and marked with the binding a little shaken; acidic paper tanned with the folding facsimile document splitting at one fold; mounts a little cockled; trifling loss to the corner-tip of one photograph; page 29 printed close to the right-hand edge an imposition error during production; a few mild signs of age and handling; a very good copy of a rare and important work with the photographs in excellent condition. An early ownership signature on an initial blank is proving difficult to decipher Ruppard Sheppard. The original photographs that illustrate the book are almost certainly the work of Captain Samuel Sweet see Robert Holden: 'Photography in Colonial Australia. The Mechanical Eye and the Illustrated Book' 1988. We have handled a number of copies of this work and this copy conforms with what we suggest might be called the first and most desirable issue of these photographs. The substance of the book was derived from a 48-question circular compiled by George Taplin and 'distributed to all the keepers of aborigines' depots throughout the colony and to all persons who are known to be acquainted with the manners customs and languages of the aborigines'; the value of the work may be judged by the editor's remark in the introduction 'that much information has been elicited and that most of the papers show that the writers have used their powers of observation in an intelligent manner'. The untimely death of Taplin in June 1879 at the early age of 47 may account for the failure of further volumes in the series to materialize. <p>Ferguson 16711; Holden 105 and pages 49-51. E.

1839152017New York: Printed by S.W. Benedict 1839. Rare early improved edition of this prominent religious leader's influential call for America to end slavery. Duodecimo contemporary brown paper boards. In very good condition signatures to the front free endpaper. Anti-Slavery Manual Containing a Collection of Facts and Arguments on American Slavery 1837 is a foundational document of the American abolitionist movement written by the Reverend La Roy Sunderland 1802-1885 a Methodist Episcopal minister and one of the most energetic and theologically grounded anti-slavery agitators of the antebellum period. Published at a moment of intense national controversy over the question of slavery the volume assembles a systematic compendium of factual evidence statistical documentation legal analysis and moral argument designed to equip abolitionists with the intellectual armament necessary to counter proslavery arguments in the public arena. Sunderland who had co-founded the American Anti-Slavery Society alongside William Lloyd Garrison and Theodore Weld and edited the Methodist abolitionist journal Zion's Watchman approached the subject with the disciplined rhetoric of a preacher trained to marshal Scripture and evidence in service of a moral cause making the Anti-Slavery Manual simultaneously a work of theological argument and empirical documentation. The volume was sufficiently influential to be issued in multiple editions and printings in 1837 alone and is today held in the collections of Harvard University and the Library of Congress.

184900003518London: Seeleys 1849 534 pages A reverend from the Church of England visits and criticizes the Roman Catholic Church and all it's manifestations. Corner of the boards are worn rounded top of titling on backstrip is missing starting front in rear although the binding is sound Some very minor stains on the pages but in general; the interior is very clean with a fair amount of illustratrations. The name plate of Cyrus Hall McCormick is on the front end page. Cyrus Hall McCormick invented the mechanical reaper which combined all the steps that earlier harvesting machines had performed separately. His time-saving invention allowed farmers to more than double their crop size and spurred innovations in farm machinery. Born in Rockbridge County Virginia Cyrus McCormick derived his interest in invention from his father a Virginia landowner who patented several improved farming implements and worked without success for many years to perfect a mechanical reaper. In July 1831 McCormick succeeded where his father had failed producing a model reaper with all the essential components of later commercial machines. Patenting his invention in 1834 after Obed Hussey had announced 1833 the construction of a reaper of his own McCormick started to manufacture the machine on the family estate in 1837. Six years later he began to license its manufacture in other parts of the country. In 1847 he set up a factory in Chicago founding what eventually became one of the greatest industrial establishments in the United States. An astute businessman McCormick increased his sales with door-to-door canvassing and written guarantees for his ready-to-assemble machinery. McCormick amassed a large fortune and invested widely in later years in railroad and mining enterprises. This info gleaned on the net. Seeleys hardcover
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. <br /> 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. <br /> <br /> <p>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." <br /> <br /> <p>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. <br /> <br /> <p>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. <br /> <br /> <p>For more information see "Saratoga Mineral Springs Legend & History" at Saratoga.com CDC's "History of Drinking Water Treatment" "The Man Who Made Time Workable" from the Jul/Aug 2017 issue of Yale Alumni Magazine and "A Memoir of Edward North" from the 14 Oct 1905 issue of the New York Times all available online. unknown books

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
