Almost the entire work is devoted to the relation of Indian affairs. More than half of the first volume is occupied with personal observations of Aboriginal life and statements made to him regarding it.

1818List2715Augusta Georgia 1818. Single letter three 9 x 16 inch pages letters with some tape repairs and stray holes at folds still quite legible. Very good. A letter written by Calvin Barnard to his friend Asa Holman of Bolton Massachusetts describing the former’s trip from Boston to Augusta South Carolina from November 25 to January 1. Barnard first traveled from Boston to Charleston South Carolina by boat from which he notes “almost a continual gagging and vomiting†from the passengers. In Charleston Barnard observes that the city is inelegant the unpaved streets “filled with mud†and views “the breastworks which were thrown up during the last warâ€. This would have been the War of 1812 of which Barnard was likely a veteran. South Carolina had engaged upwards of 5000 soldiers and had put up defenses along the coastline in anticipation of the war but it did not come to the mainland – although South Carolina was under naval blockade and the Sea Islands were targeted by the British.<br /> <br /> Barnard reaches Savannah Georgia on the 25th of December; similarly he finds it “although a place of considerable business†“about as dissatisfactory a place I ever was in.†Augusta which he reaches by foot “is much handsomer built and situated than Savannah but not less dissipated†– he remarks that “Being the first day of the year is in this part of the country another great day for getting drunk.†After spending some time in Augusta he finishes the letter with some pointed observations about its residents:<br /> <br /> “I have had a better opportunity of becoming acquainted with the manners customs and dispositions of the citizens of Augusta . I shall not do them injustice by dividing them into three classes in which the Negroes are excepted. The first class of which are the gentry as they would expect to be called made up of men from all parts who have become rich here mostly by avaricious and unjust means . And this class we cannot expect to see drink more than once a week. The second is mostly the natives of this state and South Carolina who are men of a little property of a little education and very little of an honorable principle of any kind and these are not often seen drunk in the forenoon. The third class appears to me to be made up of the off-scouring of every bad place on earth for I never saw their equal for drunkenness lying stealing fighting swearing from morning till morning again. It is not possible that the continent of America has in any other place their equal. If it had I think the whole world soon be sunk.â€<br /> <br /> He finds Augusta’s African-American residents the only trustworthy ones despite local opinions:<br /> <br /> “If any stealing is done here it is laid to the Negroes but I had my surtout a shirt and handkerchief stolen on Friday night last but have too good an opinion of the blacks to think they have them.â€<br /> <br /> Of interest as an outsider’s views on the early Antebellum South and on drinking – another pressing social issue of the day. unknown

191913271Boston: Houghton Mifflin 1919. Second Edition. Very good-. Octavo 275pp. illustrated. Stated "Second edition enlarged" with date on the title page thus probably the first printing of this edition. Front inner hinge cracked but holding private library stamp to the front free endpaper and the ownership signature of Harold Peabody on that same leaf; overall about very good. Laid in are three interesting documents; first a typed letter on Coolidge's official stationery as Governor of Massachusetts SIGNED and dated November 5 1920 addressed to Peabody and thanking him for his "gracious message." The message in question was undoubtedly congratulating Coolidge on his victory in the 1920 election in which he had been elected Vice President under Warren G. Harding. Next is a 12pp. pamphlet 16mo containing two pieces of Coolidge's writing namely his Inaugural Address before the U. S. Senate given on March 4 1921 and a prize-winning essay he wrote while attending Amherst College in 1895 entitled "The Principles Fought For in the American Revolution." Finally a seemingly unrelated menu dated 1929 for a dinner honoring General Pershing with a long split at one fold. Harold Peabody was a prominent Bostonian who was married to Marian Lawrence Peabody whose diaries were published in 1967 under the title "To Be Young Was Very Heaven."<br /> <br /> The small pamphlet was published by the United Shoe Machinery Corporation headquartered in Boston and no doubt inclined to heap praises on their sitting Governor who had just been elected Vice President. The pamphlet is retained by just three institutions per OCLC: AAS Harvard and the University of Michigan. As far as we can tell it seems to represent the only printing of Coolidge's college essay--at least the only one locatable in OCLC--until David Pietrusza's 2012 book: "Calvin Coolidge on the Founders" which also reproduced the essay.

18379386England 1837. Good . 11¾" x 21" in frame measuring 13½" x 23¾". Manuscript map in pen and ink highlighted in pink yellow and blue. Good plus: not examined outside of frame a few tears chips and small losses. <br /> <br /> This is an exquisite world map in pen and ink. We think it's English in origin as there is a notation on the far left of the equator in the Western Hemisphere which reads "Longitude West from London." <br /> <br /> We imagine the artist used a map dated 1824 or earlier as Australia is drawn as "New Holland" whereas "Australia" was officially adopted by the British in 1824. Everything West of the Mississippi is denoted as "New Mexico" North and South America are outlined in yellow while Africa and New Holland are outlined in blue. unknown
