6889Portland: Moses Greenleaf III 1843. J. H. Young & F. Dankworth Engravers Philadelphia. Hand-colored engraved four-sheet wall map mounted on original linen affixed to original black wooden rods. 50.25†x 40.75†plus margins. CONDITION: Very good silk selvage largely perished light rubbing a few minor stains; an attractive un-restored example with a pleasing golden tone. <p>The exceptionally rare third state of Moses Greenleaf's second map of Maine the stated “Second Edition†the first of his maps to show the recently resolved final boundary with Canada.</p> <br /> <p>The map shows the entire state of Maine as well as New Brunswick and a portion of Quebec and includes an inset map at lower right depicting Nova Scotia Prince Edward Island most of New Brunswick part of Cape Breton Island and the Gulf of St. Lawrence. The coastal portion of the state with its myriad islands and peninsulas is very carefully delineated as is the interior of the state with its multitude of lakes ponds streams and rivers. Thirteen counties are identified and the boundaries of all the organized towns as well the many unorganized townships in the northern part of the state are shown. </p> <br /> <p>The maps of Moses Greenleaf published between 1815 and 1846 coincide neatly with the period covering Maine’s achievement of statehood 1820 to the final resolution of its present day boundaries and are thoroughly bound up with the formative stages of the state’s identity. Greenleaf was an ardent supporter of Maine’s drive for statehood its claims in the Northeastern Boundary Controversy and the settlement of its interior regions. The two wall maps he produced served as instruments for achieving these ends providing far more accurate representations of Maine than were previously available. </p> <br /> <p>Following the success of his Map of the District of Maine published in 1815 and re-issued in 1820 the first of Maine as a state and again in 1822 Greenleaf compiled an improved and expanded map of the state including the aforementioned portions of Quebec and all of New Brunswick. It was accompanied by his Survey of the State of Maine and an atlas of the state. All three were published by Shirley & Hyde of Portland in 1829 although the map was engraved by Young and Dankworth of Philadelphia. </p> <br /> <p>The map was issued again in 1832 and then posthumously by Greenleaf’s son Moses Greenleaf III in the present stated second edition of 1843 with over 110 additions deletions and changes to the plate including the addition of three new counties Franklin Piscataquis and Aroostook which were “incorporated in 1838 1838 and 1839 respectively.†The most important change however is the addition of the new boundary with Canada as defined by the Webster-Ashburton Treaty of 1842. A significant error appears along the new boundary in the upper-left quadrant where a note reads “Boundary as fixed by the Treaty of 1843.†Apparently the engraver confused the date of publication with the date of the Treaty. Thompson suggests that it was probably due to this error that a “third edition†state IV with the date corrected was published so soon thereafter January of 1844. Also of particular interest is “the boundary shown for Aroostook County which is intermediate between the original boundary of 1839 and the final boundary of 1844…Originally Aroostook County was formed from the northern part of Washington County and the northeastern part of Penobscot County. In 1843 Aroostook County was enlarged with the addition of the remaining northern part of Penobscot County as shown here…Finally in 1844 Aroostook County was further enlarged with the addition of the northern parts of both Piscataquis and Somerset Counties†Thompson.</p> <br /> <p>State III is rare and it seems likely that copies were suppressed once the incorrect treaty date was discovered. Thompson locates only two examples at Maine Historical Society and the Osher Map Library. None are recorded in OCLC.</p> <br /> <p>A seldom-seen example of the first of Greenleaf’s maps to show the state in its final form.</p> <br /> <p>REFERENCES: Smith Edgar Crosby.

1810413795Haverhill Massachusetts 1810. Softcover. Near Fine. Partially printed letterpress documents. 154 documents p. 5 28-177 all but the first five documents are hand-numbered by Wingate. Each document is filled out in the hand of Moses Wingate in his capacity as Justice of the Peace of Haverhill. Formerly bound with sewing and glue marks along the spine otherwise the documents themselves are mostly near fine or better with a few of them exhibiting small chips or tears. Each document contains the names of the adversaries and usually the decision by default which is filled out and Signed by Moses Wingate. A few have extensive notes on the verso but most are straightforward defaults. We suspect most of the plaintiffs were businessmen or shopkeepers and most of the defendants were defaulters on small accounts.<br /> <br /> Wingate born in 1769 was a distinguished resident of Haverhill in Essex County near the New Hampshire border who lived to more than 100 dying in 1870 and who cast a vote in every presidential election from Washington to Grant. He was at various times a member of the Massachusetts State House of Representatives and Senate and Justice of the Peace of Haverhill for nearly half a century.<br /> <br /> Among the plaintiffs here represented is publisher and printer Daniel Appleton founder of the important publisher D. Appleton and Company; as well as members of the locally prominent Carlton Minot Emerson Ingersoll and Whittier families John Greenleaf Whittier was born in Haverhill in 1807; at least three different Whittiers are named here presumably relatives.<br /> <br /> An interesting historical insight into business and justice in the early days of the Republic. unknown

Moses Pitt initially set out to produce an expanded edition of Jansson's Atlas Maior with his partner Jacob Van Waesberg. Unfortunately after production of several volumes the project failed and Pitt landed in debtor's prison. While most of the maps produced for the atlas are re-issues of earlier Dutch maps Pitt's map of the North Pole dedicated to the Right Honorable Charles FitzCharles Earle of Plymouth is an original production. The two vignettes show Inuit spear fishing and a European Whaling expedition. An inset map with annotations shows the most recent knowledge concerning Nova Zembla based upon Russian German and Dutch sources. The map's nomenclature is in English and clearly shows both a Northwest Pasage and a Northeast Passage. 1393299. Special Collections - Upstairs. unknown
