1991243886Santa Fe NM: Gerald Peters Gallery 1991. Unpaginated preliminaries 15p. illustrated with seventeen fullpage color exhibit photos very clear including cover images all show Isaac's assemblages these reminiscent of Joseph Cornell's boxes. The Marquez intro runs about 175 words in Spanish with translation to English on following page. The essayists contribute 2 or 3 pages each. Slight edgewear to covers a clean sound very good copy. We infer from the laudatory Marquez piece that he and our sculptress/production designer are friends. The gallery notes let alone their cover text do not announce Marquez' presence in this catalogue --a selling point one would think-- so perhaps it was a last-minute score when layout was already complete.

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. $650. 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 recorded 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 as the first segment records all of the monies collected for various legal work performed by Isaac's older brother James from recording judgments estate administration vendue matters for certificates for naturalization of citizenship or for fees earned for specific cases Gibbons v. Riley Miles v. Adams McElroy v. Hibbard etc. These accounts span 1806-1807 and suggest that the fees within must have been collected posthumously by Isaac for services performed before his brother's death. The notebook's second segment records moneys earned by the father in office primarily for recording deeds. Again the chronology suggests a similar scenario as 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 fe. unknown books

Isaac Weaver 1800-1866 probably of Isaac Weaver and Abigail Price kept accounts for his farm near Adamstown in Lancaster that showed dealings in cotton wool half-linen ticking and yarn. He also worked in the fields made hay cut fruit and baked bread etc. The ledger includes personal expenses for foodstuffs butter lard etc. The Weaver families occupied more than 400 acres much of which remained vested in the lineal family members well into the 20th century. Names of customers include John Shirk David Shirk and other members of the Shirk family relatives of Peter Shirk the first known resident preacher at Weaverland. Also mentioned among others are Samuel Martin Francis Weaver Henry Martin the Miller Christian Wenger John Showalter John Houder Mary High and Susanna Grub. The names indicate that this account book may refer to the settlement known as 'Weaverland' in Lancaster County Pennsylvania. A cemetery there contains "the mortal remains of the first white settlers of the beautiful vale known and remembered as 'Weber's Thal' 'Weaver's Dale' now Weaverland after the organization of the first Mennonite congregation by that name in 1730." One of the original settlers Henry Weber helped free 60000 acres of land from a $20000 mortgage belonging to distressed Mennonite settlers in Waterloo County Canada through the efforts of the German Land Company. Three years after subscribing for stock in the German Company his son Abraham Weber moved to Canada with his family in a Conestoga farm wagon. Their new home was made on Lot No. 15 which proved to include the location of future Berlin or Kitchener as it is now called. There are many connections between the Webers/Weavers and Ontario. unknown books

17025654Oxford: E Theatro Shedoniano 1702. Second edition. Buckram. Very Good/The Greek poets of the Hellenistic period following the death of Alexander the Great in 323 BCE and lasting three hundred years until the establishment of the Roman Empire have a reputation for indulging in an ornate and sometimes opaque style that we would later associate with Mannerist poets like Gongora or Marino. Lycophron's Alexandra or Cassandra may be the epitome of that style. Even Alexandrian scholars of the time referred to it as "the obscure poem." Wikipedia quotes a modern critic who says the Alexandra "may be the most illegible piece of classical literature one which nobody can read without a proper commentary and which even then makes very difficult reading." That must be why in the opening line the poet says "I will spell out everything clearly whatever you ask from the very beginning." The Wiki article continues "The poem is evidently intended to display the writer's knowledge of obscure names and uncommon myths; it is full of unusual words of doubtful meaning gathered from the older poets and long-winded compounds coined by the author. . It was very popular and was read and commented on very frequently. Two explanatory paraphrases of the poem survive and the collection of scholia by Isaac and John Tzetzes is very valuable." The Oxford edition by John Potter later Archbishop of Canterbury offered here includes the Tzetzes scholia as well as an exuberant Latin version of the poem by Joseph Scaliger first published in 1566 when Scaliger was 25 years old and notes by Scaliger's friend Willem Canter. Potter first published the text in 1697 but only this second edition bears his dedicatory epistle to the German classical scholar who taught at Utrecht Johann Georg Graevius. Folio 32 cm; 16 183 1 28 6 174 18 pages and full-page engraved frontispiece by Michael Burghers of a laurel-crowned Cassandra standing before the walls of Troy in flames. Greek and Latin in parallel columns. Collation includes title page in Greek with engraved vignette of the Sheldonian Theatre and a second title page in Latin with vignette of Oxford University's crest. Advertisement leaf at end.

London 1781 p. 270. Composed by Isaaac Olof Grufberg 1736-1764 one of the many students of Carl Linnaeus at Uppsala Univesity 1743-76 who presented and defended theses in order to expound the theories of their masters as well as advance their academic careers. These theses were printed locally with an eye to economy for distribution a week before the pupil’s defence in this case 3 April 1754. After discussing the climate and situation of England and its plant-life excelling in marine plants Grufberg compares the English flora with that of Sweden in which alpine upland and wood plants thrive. This thesis contains a listing of nearly 1000 phaneogram and cryptogram plants that are ordered according to the 24 Classes of the Linnaean System noting abpit 300 plants which were not found in Sweden. He concludes with a list of more than 100 plants that he was unable to investigate. This list is not indicated as a separate Addendum. Soulsby 1299 1805 Exc. Laur. Magnus Hojer unknown books
