1806594771806. Early Nineteenth-Century Manuscript Account Book of Pennsylvania Lawyers Manuscript. Barnard James 1755-1806. Barnard Isaac D. 1791-1834. Barnard Thomas D. 1793-1873. Acct. of Money Recd. for the Estate of James Barnard Esq. Decd. in the Office Etc.AndAcct. of Money Recd. by Isaac D. Barnard Belonging to His Late Father's Estate. Chester PA February 26 1806-August 22 1845. Content in fine hand filling 23 pp. followed by several blank leaves final six excised. Oblong octavo 8" x 5-1/2". Stiff marbled sewn wrappers. Moderate rubbing to exterior some wear to spine and corners light toning to interior. $500. James Barnard of Chester Pennsylvania was married to Susannah Dutton. James served as sheriff registrar recorder prothonotary and clerk of the courts in Delaware County Pennsylvania. The Barnards had eight children. The eldest son James Day Barnard a lawyer died at 25 a few months after his father's death. Upon his father and brother's death the eldest surviving male Barnard Isaac received or perhaps he personally recorded his brother's outstanding legal fees and his father's estate assets and accounts in this manuscript notebook. Like his deceased elder brother Isaac studied law and was admitted to the Pennsylvania bar in 1816 after notable service as a major in the War of 1812. He served terms in the Pennsylvania State Senate and U.S. Senate. The accounts are notable for their fine detail. The first segment records all the monies collected for various legal work performed by Isaac's older brother James: recording judgments estate administration vendue matters certificates for naturalization of citizenship or fees earned for specific cases Gibbons v. Riley Miles v. Adams McElroy v. Hibbard etc. These accounts span 1806-1807 suggesting that the fees within were collected posthumously by Isaac for services performed before his brother's death. The notebook's second segment records monies earned by the father in office primarily for recording deeds. Again the chronology suggests a similar scenario to the notebook's first segment. There are also several leaves of entries with much later dates recording monies received by Thomas Barnard. All accounts are clearly legible and amounts of fees charged for all legal services are pr. unknown
18948067Leipzig: Otto Harrassowitz. Very Good. 1894. First Edition. Hardcover. Wear to the top edge of spine - see image. First front free endpaper detatched but in place. Corners slightly bumped. ; Signed inscribed and dated by the author on the third front free endpaper. The book provides a valuable window into the intellectual landscape of late-19th-century comparative religion and antiquarianism. Historians and scholars can use it to trace the evolution of Egyptology as a field of study. A work selected by scholars for its cultural importance. Early look at broader symbolism: Myer's work was notable for considering the scarab's cultural and religious significance beyond just Egypt examining its influence in places like Phoenicia Sardinia and Etruria. This broader perspective laid early groundwork for understanding the spread and adoption of motifs in the ancient world. Source for esoteric traditions: Myer's mystical and esoteric affiliations make his book a relevant historical document for those studying the history of Western esotericism and its fascination with ancient Egyptian symbolism. Book is in excellent condition - exceptions noted. Extremely rare signed First Editon German publication. Appendix. Index. ; Small 8vo 7½" - 8" tall; 177 pages; Signed by Author .

First Edition. Isaac Trimble was chief entomologist for the State Agricultural Society of New Jersey and well as a member of the Horticultural Association of the America Institute. His book was a practical manual for the preservation of fruit trees and was directed at the numerous fruit farmers of this country. His text discusses the recent literature on the destruction of fruit and fruit trees by insects and attempts to provide an observational element to the discussion so farmers not interested in the science can observe infestation and do something about it before infection occurs. The plates in the book drawn by the New York City artist A. Hochstein complements Trible text with beautifully printed color plates that demonstrate the devastation that insects do to fruit. Hochstein was a specialist in drawing and painting flowers fruits and insects and worked with a number of publishers producing illustrations for horticultural texts. The plates in this book are unsigned by were probably executed by R. Craighead a printer on Centre Street in New York City. Bennett p. 106. See also Volume 15 page 10 of The Horticulturist and Journal of Rural Art and Rural Taste 1860 for an advertisement featuring the work of Hochstein. 357. William Wood & Company unknown

1871240980Glasgow: James Maclehose 1871. Reprint. Hardcover. Good/No Jacket. 4to - over 9¾" - 12. N/a. xxxvi 538pp. The 1871 facsmilie reprint of the third edition of Sir Isaac Newton's great work in 4to. which appears to be a very faithful re-rendering but with no frontispiece. Not missing from this edition - it seems that they chose to exclude it. A good only copy because as a former bookseller has noted: 'pages carelously opened'. A number of unopened pages have been somewhat carelously forced leaving to some mostly small or very small chips to the margins no loss of text that I can see and some torn pages. Should you ask me to - I can repair some of these tears and make it even more presentable but given the importance of this title I am selling it 'as is' so that a buyer may choose some more professional attention. Original publisher's cloth boards with a paper title label to the head of the spine - as issued. Once again there is an issue here too as the front board is only holding by the upper 2 thread with the lower 2 binding cords present but not holding. On the plus side - no ink inscriptions the former bookseller's remarks in pencil and will erase and the pages themselves the vast bulk of them are undamaged clean with no marginalia and just some scattered spotting which is heavier to the front endpapers to include the new facsimile title page which incidentally has 2 such aforementioned chips at the head. The facsimile title page printed in red and black is in lovely condition. James Maclehose hardcover
