Old clear tape repair and small hole on title page no loss of text. Remnants of outer wrap on front joint. Dull green strip of linen tape on rear blank joint. <br /> <br /> The author's statement on the verso of the title page reads "This pamphlet is an actual though not a literal answer to the "State of Facts" published by the Georgia Companies see Howes G 126. 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.

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".

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.

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.

172032296Amsterdam: Henri Abraham Chatelain 1720. Other. In two sheets. In excellent condition. Lightstained outside of the image of the map see illustration. 380 by 880mm 15 by 34¾ inches. A beautiful example of Henri Chatelain's important 1720 map of Java. The map was produced for Chatelains 7 volume world atlas out of Amsterdam. Covers the island in full as well as adjacent parts of Sumatra and Bali. The volcanic island of Krakatau here identified as Cracatao which nearly 150 years later would erupt with devastating consequences appears in the Strait of Sunda between Java and Sumatra. In the lower left side is an inset details the city and port of Batavia. Henri Abraham Chatelain 1684 - 1743 was a Huguenot pastor of Parisian origins. He lived consecutively in Paris St. Martins London c. 1710 The Hague c. 1721 and Amsterdam c. 1728. He is best known as a Dutch cartographer and more specifically for his cartographic contribution in the seminal seven volume Atlas Historique published in Amsterdam between 1705 and 1720. Innovative for its time the Atlas Historique combined fine engraving and artwork with scholarly studies of geography history ethnology heraldry and cosmography. Some scholarship suggests that the Atlas Historique was not exclusively compiled by Henri Chatelain as is commonly believed but rather was a family enterprise involving Henri his father Zacharie and his brother also Zacharie.
