1067-06Londres Murray 1817. gr.-8°. 91 S. Kart. d. Zt. Einbd. u. Tit. m. Feuchtigkeitsrand. EA. Barbier III 58; Lowndes II 1649 - Vorliegendes apokryphes Werk von Lullin verfasst wurde in einer Rezension aus der Zeitung Le Monde März 1974 beiliegend als ein "pastiche" bezeichnet welcher die Spuren die eigentlich auf Napoleons Handschrift zurückführen sollten eher verwischt als überzeugend darstellt. "C'est Lullin que leva lui-même le voile vers la fin de sa vie en révélant que le livre ne devait rien à Napoléon." Trotzdem wurde damals der Vertrieb dieses Buches durch Louis XVIII in Frankreich verboten denn immerhin ist es erst zwei Jahre nach Napoléons Abdankung erschienen. Die Bonapardisten ließen Raubkopien zirkulieren - ein Zeugnis dafür dass die Faszination des Publikums wieder einmal von den Verlegern richtig erkannt und gesteuert wurde. - Edition originale!

This outstanding original albumen photo was issued as a promotion for the Ilwaco Railway & Navigation Co. and the soon-to-be-launched Sidewheeler Ocean Wave. Designed by Jacob Kamm the Ocean Wave was 180 feet long 29 feet at the beam and depth of hold at 9 feet with a much larger deck which was cantilevered out to accommodate the side-wheeler configuration and grossed 725 tons. She was powered by two James Rees & Co. steam engines 24 foot sidewheels fitted with 10 foot planks over 10 feet long and capable of 18 miles per hour. She included enough state room accommodations for 115 passengers and berths for 75 more. Her first captain was Lester Bailey and the Ocean Wave was a vital link to the short narrow gauge railroad on the Long Beach Peninsula which transported vacationers from Portland to Ilwaco WA with a stop in Astoria. In 1897 Kamm’s co-owner of the IR &N maneuvered to lease out the Ocean Wave to the Columbia River & Puget Sound Navigation Co. “White Line†to compete with Kamm’s Vancouver Transportation Co. then operated on the Puget Sound from 1897 to 1899 and finally as a ferry operating in San Francisco Bay from 1899 to 1911 and was the first ferry placed in service by the Atchison Topeka & Santa Fe Railway.

188060746Portland OR & Vancouver W.T.: Vancouver Transportation Co. ca. 1880. Oblong boudoir-sized albumen photo 7.5 x 4.25 in. mounted on cream-coloured studio board sized 8.5 x 5.25 in. ink manuscript caption at lower fore-edge rounded corners very minor dustsoiling still a superb exemplar from the library of from the library of Caroline Augusta Gray Kamm 1840-1932 noted socialite and philanthropist in Portland built home for poor women & girls with the YWCA and was daughter of PNW pioneer William H. Gray 1810-1889 who traveled to the Lapwai Mission in Lewiston ID in 1836 where he was the Nez Perce secular agent and she subsequently later married Jacob Kamm 1823-1912 pioneering Oregon steamship builder industrialist entrepreneur and owner/operator of the Vancouver Transportation Co. This exceptional original boudoir-sized albumen photo was issued as a promotion for the recently formed Vancouver Transportation Co. and newly launched Steamer Lurline. First built and launched by Jacob Kamm with John Ainsworth the hull was 153 feet with overall length of 175 feet beam of 30 feet and 6 foot depth of hold. The initial configuration featured a two-cylinder engine built by The Harlen & Hollingsworth Co. of Wilmington DE and a locomotive-style boiler built by Ward Stanton & Co. in New Burgh NY. With a three foot draft and top speed of 17 miles per hour the Lurline was able to sail for the Vancouver Transportation Co. on the Willamette Columbia and Lewis Rivers with fairly easy clearance. She operated for over 50 years was rebuilt several times survived being rammed and sunk at Rainier OR Nov. 21 1906 by the steam schooner Cascade and never acquired the reputation of speed as her sister ship the Bailey Gatzert but served until dismantled in 1930. Her upper works which remained quite similar to those seen in this photo were actually transferred to the diesel-powered L.P. Hosford which operated until after 1966.

1756elala1110Paris: l'Imprimerie Royale 1756. 1756. 12mo. pp. viii 275. full modern mottled calf a few scattered stains. First Duodecimo Edition. Published the same year as the first edition in quarto. This is the French reply to an English memorial addressed to the courts of Europe stating their position on the war on the Ohio justifying their actions and setting forth their claims to the region west of the Alleghenies. Accusing the English of unprovoked aggression and foul play the French sought to demonstrate that it was Washington's 'assassination' of Jumonville in the Fort Necessity campaign among other offensive actions which had sparked the war. Most of the text is composed of 'pièces justificatives' comprising documents and letters written between 1749 and 1755 by La Jonquière Governor of New France Albemarle Rouillé General Braddock Contrecoeur Villiers Sir William Johnson George Washington and Robert Stobo an engineer with Washington who had planned Fort Necessity. Among the more important papers are translations of the instructions given to Braddock by the British Crown letters to and from Braddock and Sir William Johnson and various officials two of Johnson's 'harangues' to the Indians and the first printing although in French translation of extracts from the journal kept by George Washington in the 1754 expedition to fortify the forks of the Ohio that ended with the British surrender to the French at Fort Necessity in July 1754 pp. 109-146. This is quite distinct from Washington's first journal of his mission for Governor Dinwiddie late in 1753 printed at Williamsburg in 1754. Most of these British papers were seized by the French following the capitulation at Fort Necessity. An early work on the French and Indian War described by Lawrence Wroth in his John Carter Brown Library report for 1945-46' as "one of the most important documents in American colonial history."
