1807009322London to Boston 1807. Envelope or Cover. Very good. This two-page stampless folded letter measures 14.5" x 9" unfolded. It is datelined "London 7th Jany. 1807" with a manuscript annotation "per Enterprise via New York" in the lower left corner. There is "36" rate marking along with a circular postmark in red that reads "New-York Mar. 9" and a matching red "Ship" handstamp. During opening a small piece was cut from the back to remove the wax seal. <br /><br />Of special interest is a clear strike of an oval handstamp on the reverse that reads <p style="margin-left:3%; margin-right:3%;">"Daniel's Life Preserver in case of Shipwreck Bathing & Wapping A National Concern Established 1806."<p>It would appear that the Life Preserver hand stamp only served as an advertisement as there is no postal reason for it to have been applied. <br /><br />Although there no records tying Jacob Cram to the Daniel's firm Parker & Poor were general merchants in Boston and major importers of British goods. Although the letter contents do not pertain to life preservers it is likely that the hand stamp was applied as an advertisement for the relatively new product. <br /><br />Following his grammar school education Francis Columbine Daniel was apprenticed in 1779 to a surgeon and apothecary in the East London Thames River community of Wapping and nine years later he opened his own office nearby. <br /><br />At the time the area was a hub of naval and maritime activity and having witnessed many drownings Daniel determined to find a way to save the lives of mariners and passengers who fell into the Thames. To that end he designed an "air jacket" that could be carried in a coat pocket and quickly inflated by means of a silver tube after which it would keep a wearer's head arms and upper body above the water surface. <br /><br />As part of his testing process Daniels conducted startling public demonstrations. In 1805 several men wearing early versions of his jacket jumped off the London Bridge and floated downstream while smoking pipes or playing musical instruments to the astonishment of a gathering crowd. The following year at a London regatta two men wearing his devices appeared to walk on the water while carrying a giant sack full of ships' biscuits and a third repeatedly fired a horse pistol into the air. <br /><br />Later that year Daniel began marketing his life preserver after it had received a gold medal from the Royal Humane Society. <br /><br />Exceptionally scarce. At time of listing there are no other examples of this handstamp for sale in the philatelic or ephemera trade. There are no records of other examples having been sold at auction and none are known to be held by institutions. <br /><br /> books
185928994Columbus Ohio 1859. Caption title as issued. 16pp untrimmed. Margin-foxing Good.<br/><br/> The occasion was a celebration of German Democrats "whose thrifty and pleasant homes are mostly in the Fifth Ward." In this scarce pamphlet Cox lauds the German opposition to tyranny their love of "Constitutional government and law;" and their distrust of anarchy and disorder expressed in those annoying "Woman Rights Free Love and Abolition Conventions." Most recently such destructive "egotistical faith" has shown itself in the John Brown Invasion and in the doctrines of the Republican Party. "When Brown shoots down the citizens at the Armory he appeals to the God of the oppressed as his judge and all the Ismatics of New England and Ohio applaud the murderer as a martyr." And when Republicans deny the right of territories to decide whether to permit slavery "they deny to majorities the right to rule." <br/>OCLC 34559434 3- OH Hist. Soc. U TX Hist. Soc. W.

Minor toning and foxing tiny reinforcement at mounting stub on verso of each large folding map some offsetting. Overall very good. In a blue cloth box gilt leather label. Scarce first Latin edition of one of the bestsellers of illustrated 17th-century travel literature which reports Le Maire's critical DISCOVERY OF TIERRA DEL FUEGO an alternate route to the Pacific and also recounts the Pacific pillaging of the veteran East Indies sailor-turned-pirate Joris van Spilbergen. In addition the work includes valuable early information on ports along the Pacific coast of the Americas and is also of interest for the 17th-century Dutch presence in Brazil. Rich in ethnographic detail the numerous illustrations in the SPECULUM ORIENTALIS. include images of oversized penguins llamas and an Andean condor with a nine-foot wing span. Naval battles beleaguered Spanish settlements and newly discovered islands are also depicted in detail making this a valuable compendium of adventure on the high seas during the Age of Discovery. <br> <br> In 1614 the VOC commissioned Spilbergen to sail to the Moluccas with nearly 700 men. Despite the ostensible commercial nature of his expedition Spilbergen's six vessels were heavily armed anticipating encounters with silver-laden Spanish vessels. Spilbergen spent two years calling at various Spanish and Portuguese ports along both coasts of South America failing to capture any great amounts of silver or silk from Manila but burning several settlements and emerging triumphant from a naval skirmish just south of Lima. <br> <br> By contrast Le Maire's less mercenary expedition resulted in important discoveries; his exploration of Tierra del Fuego and the Tuamotou Archipelago called into doubt the existence of a massive southern continent providing a catalyst for Tasman's discovery of New Zealand and Australia. The two expeditions crossed paths in the Dutch East Indies in 1616. <br> <br> Spilbergen's fleet of six ships was fitted out and armed to combat the Spanish colonies attacking Spanish settlements and shipping along their route. They sailed to Brazil then through the Straits of Magellan and north along the coast of America as far as California. After sailing east to the Philippines they went on to Batavia in search of a Spanish fleet reportedly planning to attack Dutch settlements in the Moluccas but they never found a fleet. On his arrival at Batavia Spilbergen encountered Le Maire and Schouten whose voyage for the newly-formed Compagnie Australe had embarked in 1615 a year after Spilbergen's. Le Maire and Schouten traveled via the newly-discovered Le Maire Strait but on their arrival at Batavia they were arrested for breaching the monopoly granted to the Dutch East India Company of the Strait of Magellan. Spilbergen took Le Maire Schouten and their crews on board and escorted them back to the Netherlands virtually as prisoners. Le Maire grew ill and died en route. <br> <br> This work is remarkable as an early document on Dutch navigation to the Brazilian coasts. Its great value lies in Spilbergen's detailed account of their stay in the Ilha Grande from October 1614 to January 1615 and in São Vicente in 1615. Plate 2 depicting the disordered landing of Dutch vessels in São Vicente clearly documents the way of life of the indigenous peoples under Portuguese occupancy. Colonial religious structures appear alongside typical Native American hammocks and traditional Brazilian costumes and methods of animal husbandry are evident. This illustration with its explanatory text is particularly important as 17th-century ethnographic documents about the future São Paulo are very rare. <br> <br> One of the large folding maps remains important for illustrating Le Maire and Schouten's route across the Pacific. Other maps show the Straits of Magellan and Manila the Moluccas and various ports on the Pacific coast of America. <br> <br> The SPECULUM ORIENTALIS. was originally published in Dutch the same year as this Latin edition with identical plates. Translations in other languages followed rapidly: German in 1620 Frankfurt and French in 1621 Amsterdam. The work was not translated into English until the 1906 Hakluyt Society edition with the title THE EAST AND WEST INDIAN MIRROR.
