1735114291London: Unknown. Fair with no dust jacket. 1735. Unknown. Map. Copper engraved Map. Map image size not including Margins = 41 cm x 48 cm. Uncoloured. With an Attractive Central Carouche and an 'Explanation of the Figures'. = " Royal Marine 1 Battery; Barracks for the Troops; Powder Magazine" etc etc plus an inset 'Side view of the Little and Great Camp'. Double page plan. Horizontal Centre fold has split an inch either side and similar to the vertical fold and right in the centre where both folds meet but NO LOSS - I haven't repaired as this should be done with expertise. Some pretty uniform browning in general to the map and some staining to the bottom margin and close trimmed but leaving the border at the top edge where some staining has leeched into the top blank edge. Generally a good image and complete but with some fault as noted. NO date but written in pencil by a former owner in the margin is "Published 1735" and this may be the date of the Edition the map was originally taken from but could be as late as 1747 - I can't be certain.

178145<p>Prvidence RI: John Carter 1781. First edition . No Binding. Good. Providence: John Carter 1781. First edition. Good. 24pp COMPLETE. Stitched. Chipping to outer edges with tears to outer edge of pp5 and 6 with minor loss. "Isaac Bickerstaff" is a common pseudonym in almanacs. Erroneously attributed by Evans to Benjamin West the actual calculator appears to be Nathan Daboll. The similarities in the eclipse predictions and the astronomical and horological notes on the calendar pages between the present issue and The New England almanack and gentleman's and lady's diary for 1782 New London calculated by Daboll under the pseudonym of Edmund Freebetter indicate a common authorship. Most of the calculations vary to a degree reflecting the difference in the meridian between New London and Providence. West and Carter the publisher severed relations with the 1781 issue. West's almanac was published thereafter at Providence by Bennett Wheeler as the North American calendar while Carter continued the New England almanack over the Bickerstaff pseudonym with which West is often identified.
