1829100354Pamphlet removed 8vo disbound 23 pp. Browning to first leaf add some foxing and aging throughout but generally pretty clean. Ink signature to first leaf. Overall very good. Isaac McCoy 1784-1846 was born near Uniontown Pennsylvania. In 1804 he moved with his family to Clark County Indiana and became a minister. He spent much of his life doing missionary work among the Indians and was dedicated to improving the civil and religious condition of these people. The present pamphlet is extremely important since it represents the first step in a shift in U.S. policy from respecting the rights of Native Americans to forcing them to live where the government wanted them to. This pamphlet was published just before the Indian Removal Act of 1830 and includes information about the Arkansas Territory. McCoy provides details of his tour of this country with a delegation of Indians who were to be moved across the Mississippi. unknown

1734032085<p>London: Stephen Austen 1734 A fair copy in contemporary full leather binding with marbling to page edges. With frontispiece portrait of Isaac Barrow and a folding plate. Classed as 'fair' because the binding has wear and the front board is detaching. Isaac Barrow 1630-1677 was a mathematician classical scholar and theologian. He is principally known for his work on tangents and Calculus. He was one of Isaac Newton's teachers. The binding has raised bands to spine and the remains of gilt tooling. There are gilt lines to the boards. The spine has wear and loss to top and bottom and there is wear to corners - but it would be an easy leather repair. Contents: frontispiece; title page; blank; contents listing and errata pp iii-vi; Prefatory Oration pp vii-xxxii; text in 3 sections with half titles pp 1 - 440; folding plate; index 12pp; Names used in the Work 4 pp; Finis.
