Two Autograph Letters Signed Baltimore Johns Hopkins University May 18 and June 2 1905 to Commander E. F. Leiper Monte Cristi Dominican Republic

30782two letters octavo 5 pages written in ink on State Department letterhead paper lightly tanned else in very good clean and legible condition. Hollander writes: "â€¦ I have received your letter of the eleventh instant with the copy of the Official Gazette enclosed. I thank you very much for the trouble to which you have gone and shall welcome any further material you may obtain. President Roosevelt has asked me to supplement the preliminary reconnaissance which I made in Santo Domingo with a detailed written report. I shall begin work upon this at once and it is very likely that in connection therewith I shall revisit the Island late in the summer. It will be important for me to remain in as close touch as possible with political and other developments in the Island. You of all persons are qualified to give this information with respect to perhaps the most serious phase. I should therefore be very glad indeed if you could write me from time to time as fully as practicable concerning the situationâ€¦" "â€¦ thank you for the documents â€¦ viz. the budget and the list of licenses of the municipality of Monte Cristi. I hope to return to Santo Domingo later in the summer and would be very glad to hear from time to time in regard to any developments that may occur before my return â€¦" The Dominican Republic which shared the island of Hispaniola with Haiti was politically unstable and financially bankrupt when Theodore Roosevelt became President of the United States. Unable to pay its national debts the country faced the threat of military action by France and other European creditor powers. To prevent European intervention and thus protect the routes to the future Panama Canal then under construction Roosevelt pursuing his own version of the Monroe Doctrine and "Big Stick Diplomacy" assumed a virtual protectorate over the country guaranteeing its territorial integrity against European intervention while agreeing to help pay its European debts by taking over the Dominican Customs the Republic's main source of revenue. With the unstated threat of landing US Marines if necessary Roosevelt also sent Jacob Hollander head of the Department of Political Economy at Johns Hopkins University to the island to make sure that the country put its "financial house in order." Hollander descended from German-Jewish immigrants and a leader of the Baltimore Jewish community had already served President McKinley Roosevelt's predecessor by negotiating a monetary agreement with the leading European powers; and by revising the tax laws of Puerto Rico. After writing these letters he was to spend the next five years in the financial reorganization of the Dominican public debt. Hollander's correspondent US Naval Commander Edwards F. Leiper was serving as Executive Officer of a US Navy warship sent to the Dominican Republic "to protect American interests" when the Admiral commanding naval forces in the Caribbean of orders from Washington "peaceably" â€“ with an accompanying Marine guard â€“ installed Leiper as Customs Collector at Monte Cristi a little town on the northwest coast of the island on the very day that an armed mob attacked the Customs House. Despite the outrage of the local Dominican Governor the Admiral made it clear that if any "harm befell" Leiper he would not hesitate to land a full detachment of Marines. By the time Hollander arrived for his "preliminary reconnaissance" the Dominicans had become angrily accustomed to indefinite US domination books

This edition of Herrera includes the first publication of Jacques Le Maire's journal of one of the greatest early Pacific voyages and circumnavigations that of Le Maire and Schouten in 1615 and 1616. Le Maire's journal which occupies pp. 107-174 of this book describes the voyage of trade and discovery launched by one of the most aggressive of Netherlands traders in this era of Dutch expansion. The expedition sailed around Cape Horn explored the Pacific coast of South America and pursued the search for Terra Australis. Inspired in part by Quiros and motivated by Dutch trading zeal this was the essential precursor to Tasman's voyage; indeed Tasman made great use of Le Maire's mapping of the ocean. The Le Maire voyage the last of the seventeenth century expeditions to search for the unknown continent from the east was responsible for extensive discoveries in the Pacific recorded in excellent detail on the numerous maps published here. These include maps of Le Maire's Pacific route and of New Guinea the latter definitely establishing it to be an island. There are also five engraved views showing the expedition in Patagonia a Polynesian sailing canoe the anchorage at Cocos Island natives at Cocos and the isle of Hoorn. The first section of this work is the first French and second edition overall of a portion of Antonio de Herrera's Historia General first published in Madrid in 1601. This is one of the classic descriptions of the Spanish conquests in the New World with important maps of the West Indies the Americas the coasts of Central and South America the interior of Mexico Terra Firme and the west coast of South America including some of the most important maps relating to the Pacific made to the time. The third section of this volume consists of brief accounts of other voyages into the Pacific and the account of Pedro de Cevallos of the Spanish possessions in the New World. Two issues of this French translation were printed in Amsterdam in 1622. This copy has the first imprint recorded by Wagner.

The Housekeeper's Instructor or Universal family cook :being a full and clear display of the art of cookery in all its branches . to which is added the complete art of carving . The Seventeenth Edition. Corrected revised and considerably improved by every modern addition and variation in the Art by Jacob Christopher Schnebbelie

18235325London: Printed for Thomas Kelly 17 Paternoster-Row 1823. Octavo 21.5 x 14 cm. 464 pages. Index. Lacking the frontispiece portrait of Schnebbelie. Engraved title featuring a cornucopic table. Illustrated with eleven plates mostly carving instructions and menus. Stated seventeenth edition. While Andre Simon claimed this was "probably the most popular cookery book in England during the last decade of the eighteenth century" BG page 81 Maclean pushes back on this concept ". this is a bold assertion and the present compiler has no evidence to justify it." Maclean page 69. Jacob Schnebbelie first revised and expanded The Houekeeper's Instructor in 1804. A number of institutions date this printing as 1923 and we've found no supporting evidence of this nor reason to think this dating is far off the mark. The estimate of the date was not shared by experienced culinary bookseller Marian L. Gore whose bookseller ticket and pricing code are present in this volume along with a copy of her invoice for this and other works to cookery collector Walter Fillin. Her description estimates 1811. Some light soiling throughout; but generally clean and sound. Original tree calf-covered boards with corners bumped suffing and abrasions rebacked with modern calf spine with gilt-titled black spine label. Lacking frontispiece portrait as noted above; bookseller ticket of Gore to preliminary blank; bookplate of collectors Walter & Lucille Fillin; invoice of sale ladi-in. Good or better.
