1788702L27Boston: John Norman 1788. First edition. Disbound. Fair. 7" by 4". None. An extremely scarce American almanac from the eighteenth century containing ephemerides. An early publication following American independence this work contains many astronomical notes. The first edition of this almanac containing many tables of ephemerides for the year 1789. Undated dated using Library Hub as 1788. Very scarce only seen at auction twice in the last forty years. Both times disbound - as issued Abraham Weatherwise was a pseudonym used for many almanacks from the years 1784 to 1788. It is believed that this is a pseudonym for Samuel Bullard. This is because the astronomical notes on the calendar pages parallle those in his 'An almanach for the year of the Christian aera 1789 Boston'. Disbound as issued lacking the half-title and bookseller's advertisement occasionally seen. This astronomical calendar was calculated for the meridian of Bostonm 'but will serve for the adjacent states'. A very scarce work. Disbound. Externally chipped to the extremities with handling marks and a light tidemark to the front wrap. Internally firmly bound. Chipping has affected the bottom seven entries of the tables which are slightly obscured due to a spill burn. Tidemark to the final three leaves not affecting the text. Occasional spots to pages.

178132033Amsterdam: Yaccov Proops 1781. Third edition. Hardcover. g-. Quarto. 2 52 double-sided leaves. Rebacked in modern brown leather spine over original period brown leather boards. Gilt lettering and ruling on the spine. Modern endpapers. Profusely illustrated throughout with copperplate engravings. Includes both an initial illustrated title page with copperplate engravings surrounding the text Ma'aleh Bet Horin and a printed title page with decorative woodblock borders and the publisher's device. In addition to the Hebrew text a few sections throughout are in Judeo-German Yiddish printed in Vaybertaytsh script.<br /> <br /> This third edition of the famous Amsterdam Haggadah found the work reformatted into a smaller size and saw the title officially changed to Maleh Beit Horin meaning "house free men". Most of the same famous copperplate engravings by Abraham ben Jacob aka Abraham bar Yaccov that previously appeared in the 1695 and 1712 editions are retained here. The two images added to the 1712 second edition are included the illustrated order of the Seder and the complete ten plagues but four of the full series of images included in the first two editions are not present. These missing images are Abraham smashing the idols of his father Moses receiving the Ten Commandments a Mount Sinai Moses and Aaron coming to Pharaoh and the Holy Temple in Jerusalem. In our copy the engraved title and three other other engravings contain contemporary hand-coloring the rabbis of Bene Brak the Four Sons the angels visiting Abraham. <br /> <br /> The text of this third edition replaces the complete running commentary from Isaac Abravanel of the earlier editions with 3 additional text commentaries. These include the "Gevurot Hashem" from the Maharal of Prague Judah Loew ben Bezalel writings by Rabbi Moshe Alshich and "Olelot Ephraim" a collection of ethical homilies by Rabbi Shlomo Ephraim Luntschitz. However Abravanel's commentary is present following Yishtabach through the end of the Seder and in the initial six-leaf section preceding the text of the Passover seder which discusses the laws of Passover.<br /> <br /> This copy is lacking the original engraved map of the Holy Land at the rear as it was originally issued. Binding with some rubbing and abrasions to the original boards and spine. Interior with heaving staining to pages throughout with text still legible. Biding and interior in in good- condition overall.

170133078Fulda 1701. Hardcover. fair. 4to. 185 leaves. Black cloth. Red edges. Illustrated title-page with Moses and Aaron on the sides and David killing Goliath at the bottom. Commentary on selections of the Zohar and other kabbalistic texts by Mordacai Ashkenazi published with the aid of his teacher Abraham Rovigo. These two kabbalists were both secret followers of the messianic claimant Sabbatai Sevi. Despite Sabbatai's conversion to Islam in 1666 and death in 1676 many of his followers continued to believe in him and worked to spread their particular heterodox brand of Judaism in defiance of the rabbinic establishment. As cover for his Sabbatian agenda Ashkenazi claimed that “Eshel Avraham†was simply a new interpretation of the Kabbalah based on his prophetic dreams. Ultimately this book is an important example of the success of the early eighteenth century Sabbatian underground to print books under the nose of the rabbinic authorities before it came out into the open with the printing of Nehemiah Hayon's “Migdal Oz.†Text in Hebrew. Backstrip missing but the book is still intact. Bottom corner chipped. Title-page torn and bottom strengthened. Slight worming to front leaves. Overall in fair condition.

180025051Newark: Pennington and Gould 1800. 71 1 blank pp. Pages 61-68 are misnumbered 53-60 as issued. Disbound with moderate spotting. Good.<br /> <br /> One of six contemporary printings this is the only one which does not begin with the phrase 'Connecticut Republicanism.' Bishop was a Jeffersonian and outspoken anti- Federalist which made him an unusual figure in Connecticut politics. <br /> "Learning that he would give this Republican campaign speech as the Phi Beta Kappa orator the Yale Corporation withdrew Bishop's invitation. Speaking to 1500 people at a local meeting-house Bishop in rousing rhetoric denounced the state and national Federalist party for its leadership social assumptions and class prejudices. He argued that the Federalists were deluding the people in order to enslave them under a monarchy and castigated the union of church and state in Connecticut charging the clergy with preaching Federalist propaganda. The two-hour harangue ended with a call for the election of Republicans to preserve the liberty so dearly and recently won." Sheidley. <br /> Evans 36980. Felcone 18. Sheidley 132.

It contains the outlines of the present state of Georgia business and a brief sketch of the arguments on both sides with such Commentaries as the compass of the work would allow. The general tenor of it especially that part which treats of the Chancery powers of our Courts will be found applicable to the cases of all who have suffered by any kind of Land Speculation."<br /> <br /> Howes B 471; Evans 31830; DeRenne 278; Sabin 5593. From Wikipedia; <br /> <br /> The Yazoo land scandal Yazoo fraud Yazoo land fraud or Yazoo land controversy was a massive real estate fraud perpetrated in the mid-1790's by Georgia governor George Mathews1 and the Georgia General Assembly. Georgia politicians sold large tracts of territory in the Yazoo lands in what are now portions of the present-day states of Alabama and Mississippi to political insiders at very low prices in 1794. Although the law enabling the sales was overturned by reformers the following year its ability to do so was challenged in the courts eventually reaching the US Supreme Court. In the landmark decision in Fletcher v. Peck 1810 the Court ruled that the contracts were binding and the state could not retroactively invalidate the earlier land sales. It was one of the first times the Supreme Court had overturned a state law and it justified many claims for those lands.<br /> <br /> Some of the lands sold by the state in 1794 had been shortly thereafter resold to innocent third parties greatly complicating the litigation. In 1802 because of the ongoing controversy Georgia ceded all of its claims2 to lands west of its modern border to the U.S. government in exchange for which the government paid cash and assumed the legal liabilities. Claims involving the land purchases were not fully resolved until legislation passed in 1814 established a claims-resolution fund.<br /> <br /> The Yazoo land fraud is often conflated with the Pine Barrens speculation another land scandal which took place in east Georgia at about the same time. In this case the state's high-ranking officials were making multiple gifts of land grants for the same parcels resulting in the issuance of grants totaling much more land than was available in the state of Georgia.
