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.

184629011Boston: Dutton and Wentworth Printers 1846. Original printed salmon wrappers stitched 48pp. Occasional light spotting Very Good.<br/><br/> "The letters concern Rev. Adams' refusal to grant letters of recommendation from his church to the Payson church of which Rev. Fairchild was pastor because of accusations of immoral conduct against Fairchild" Cohen. The Payson church was thus deprived of "the fellowship of sister churches." Fairchild had allegedly seduced a young woman Rhoda Davidson of Edgecomb Maine while she was a domestic in his family. She had a child and nominated Fairchild as the father. Ecclesiastical trials ensued. Fairchild claimed that rival ministers one of whom was Reverend Adams had defamed him by calling him an habitual libertine and adulterer. Adams as Fairchild puts it "publicly said that there was more guilt resting on my head than on the head of any man who walks the streets of Boston or words to that effect." <br/> The Payson Church Committee examines the relevant documents and concludes "We clearly saw that no guilt had been proved against him and therefore felt bound to regard him as innocent wondering how any human creature could have a heart to add another grain to his load of suffering or inflict one fresh wound on his wife and children. We deem him one of the most injured and persecuted clergymen which the history of this country can furnish."<br/>Cohen 13687. AI 46-54 5. Dutton and Wentworth, Printers 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
18367554Mexico: Abadiano y Valdes 1836 - 38. First edition. 4 vols. 4to viii 281; 158; viii 419; viii 281 pp. Vols. 1-2 edited by Bustamante from the MS: Historia civil y politica de Mexico; vols. 3-4 constitute the editor's supplement. The work is ofrten bound in two volumes but here we have it in four. Cavo was a Jesuit a native of Mexico and expelled from the country along with the others of his order in 1767. Although he made a great effort to return to Mexico later in his life dissociating himself from the Jesuits and travelling to Spain to do so but he did not succeed. The rest of his life was spent in Rome where he died in great poverty in 1803. Beristain de Souza has almost nothing to say about him as his work was not discovered until the 1830's when Bustamante ran across the manuscript in a private episcopal library and theeafter took charge of having it published with his additions.The first two books are Cavo's up to the expulsion and despite the title is a history of viceregal Mexico City.Wikipedia says: "The work is not a history in the usual sense. It is better described as the annals of Mexico City with particular emphasis on the development of political ideas. The book also contains details of colonial life that are not available in any other source. Cavo shows signs of Mexican not Spanish colonial nationality and for this reason is considered a forerunner of Mexican independence. Porrua Diccionario states that his was the first history of Viceregal Mexico. The last two volumes are by Bustamante himself an important Mexican historian after independence associated with the liberal party and they are a continuation up to 1821 being of a broader scope and containing some important documents also not published before. Bound in contemporary calf leather over speckled boards titles and fillets in gilt on spines. Very good set. <br/><br/> Abadiano y Valdes hardcover books
1861009123St. Louis: George Knapp 1861. Wraps. Very good. Complete with 12 pages including the cover. See Sabin 2217. In nice shape with some light marginal toning Elliot preached this sermon on August 18 1862 shortly after eleven Southern states had seceded and while Missouri teetered between joining the Confederacy or remaining in the Union. Although Eliot was a moderate abolitionist and Union supporter he rarely if ever publicly announced his political opinions. Rather he preached generally about freedom religion and loyalty stressing community unity and encouraging his parishioners to refrain from quarreling an instead search for things upon which they had in common. He believed that the ever-increasing extreme political polarization over slavery was unhealthy for the community prevented any possibility of reaching a peaceful solution and could only spell disaster for the nation. However in this sermon Eliot makes clear that he is a Unionist and argues that citizens have a religious and patriotic duty to their nation that are one and the same. Although distressed by secession his optimism shines through: "But the time will come when the community of interest will again be acknowledged and we shall be yet again ONE NATION . . . and this great experiment of Republican Institutions now on trial will yet succeed." Eliot's efforts along with those of Nathaniel Lyon and Francis P. Blair tipped public sentiment in favor of the Union and the Missouri Ordinance of Secession proposed by Governor Claiborne Fox Jackson a southern sympathizer was never passed by a legally assembled quorum of state legislators. See Holt's William Greenleaf Eliot: Conservative Radical for more information. William Greenleaf Eliot was born in Massachusetts. After graduating from Harvard Divinity School in 1834 he moved to St. Louis where he founded the first Unitarian church west of the Mississippi the Church of the Messiah now the First Unitarian Church of St. Louis. Eliot was active in public life and instrumental in founding many civic institutions including the St. Louis Public Schools and the St. Louis Art Museum. A strong proponent of higher education he co-founded Washington University in 1853 which was initially named Eliot Seminary in his honor and he served as its chancellor from 1870-1887. He was the grandfather of the modernist poet T. S. Eliot. An important and rather scarce piece of Missouri's Civil War history. At time of listing no other examples are for sale in the trade and no auction records are found at ABPC or the Rare Book Hub. OCLC shows that the pamphlet is only held by nine libraries. <br/><br/> George Knapp paperback books
