"Meade's character and leadership made him a power for good throughout not only the Episcopal Church but the entire state." DAB. Meade warns here that "those are most positive and intolerant who most implicitly take their faith from others instead of drawing it by careful study and humble prayer from the word of God. 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.

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

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.
