Third edition of a handbook on the plague by Eduardus Putman enlarged and improved by Abraham Lenertsz Vrolingh. The first edition was published in 1603 in Amsterdam a second in 1646 in Zaandam. The present edition was most likely designed so that it could also be bound with Der matroosen ghesontheyd an account of scurvy by Vrolingh. In the preface Vrolingh states that by joining the two works both sailor and soldier would benefit from the knowledge.Putmans manuael seeks the cause of the plague in astrology holding Mercury responsible for the illness in the whole body and other planets for specific regions of the body such as behind the ears Saturn and the moon in the armpits Mars and the sun and in the groins Venus and Jupiter. It also discusses the influence of the four elements: water fire earth and air. Other subjects covered are the plague in pregnant women and a description of various symptoms such as headache heart palpitations thirst fever and diarrhoea followed by suggested treatments selected from experience. Most of the medicines pills and powders are made from plants and herbs such as nettle rhubarb rosemary and camomile. With the bookplate of Van der Hoeven.

1863175681863. Lincoln Abraham. African Troops Scarce U.S. Senate executive document transmitting a message from Abraham Lincoln and accompanying State Department correspondence concerning the French deployment of Black troops to Mexico during the American Civil War. Issued by the 37th Congress 3rd Session in February 1863 the report reflects the convergence of emancipation-era policy racialized military labor and international imperial strategy.<br /> <br /> U.S. Senate Executive Document No. 40 37th Congress 3rd Session; February 1863. Original printed pamphlet in standard folio format.Prepared under the direction of William H. Seward the document compiles diplomatic intelligence indicating that France transported African troops from Egypt-specifically from regions identified as "Dalfour" and Nubia-to reinforce forces stationed at Veracruz during the French Intervention in Mexico. The stated rationale as recorded in the report was that "the black race is not subject to the yellow fever" revealing the period's racialized medical assumptions and their direct application in imperial military logistics.<br /> <br /> Produced in the immediate aftermath of the Emancipation Proclamation this document is especially significant for situating Black military labor within a global context. While the Union was actively recruiting African American soldiers U.S. officials were simultaneously monitoring European powers deploying African troops across colonial networks. The report thus provides rare contemporary evidence of how race disease theory and military necessity intersected in both American and European wartime policy. This document holds strong research value across multiple fields: African American military history Civil War diplomacy transnational slavery and emancipation colonial medicine and 19th-century imperial warfare. It is particularly notable for documenting the perceived biological resilience of Black soldiers as a strategic asset-an idea central to both colonial and military history.

1860158491860. Lincoln Abraham. The Lincoln and Douglas Debates 1860 printed record of the seven public debates between Abraham Lincoln and Stephen A. Douglas during the 1858 Illinois Senate campaign a pivotal series of political confrontations over slavery and the future of the United States. The debates addressed the expansion of slavery into western territories and the constitutional implications of the Supreme Court's Dred Scott decision. Lincoln used the campaign to articulate a moral and political critique of slavery's expansion including the position he expressed in his earlier convention speech that "a house divided against itself cannot stand." Although Lincoln lost the Senate race to Douglas the debates established him as a leading national figure within the Republican Party and played a major role in shaping the political arguments that led to his presidential election in 1860.<br /> <br /> Lincoln Abraham. The Lincoln And Douglas Debates. A Political Debates between Hon. Abraham Lincoln and Hon. Stephen A. Douglas. In the Celebrated Campaign of 1858 in Illinois. Columbus: Follett Foster and Company 1860. First edition third issue identified by the numeral "2" on page 13 and the presence of the publisher's advertisement. Octavo volume containing 268 pages. Bound in publisher's original olive green textured cloth with blind stamped borders and spine lettered in gilt.<br /> <br /> The Lincoln Douglas debates represented one of the most influential series of political exchanges in nineteenth century American history addressing the central constitutional and moral questions surrounding slavery in the years immediately preceding the Civil War. Douglas defended the doctrine of popular sovereignty arguing that territories should decide the legality of slavery for themselves while Lincoln challenged the compatibility of that doctrine with the Dred Scott decision and emphasized the moral consequences of the institution. Although Douglas retained his Senate seat Lincoln's articulate presentation of the issues drew national attention and positioned him as a major political figure within the emerging Republican Party. Slight chipping to the head of the spine fading to boards and gilt minor damp staining with light foxing and toning consistent with age. Overall good condition. unknown

185013208Washington DC: Office of Printers to the House of Reps 1850. First Edition. Hardcover. Good . Octavo 626pp. illustrated plus six plates. A good or better copy in contemporary 3/4 black leather and marbled boards. Contemporary ownership signature to front free endpaper and small private library label to front paste-down else unmarked. Mild foxing to first and last few leaves. Extremities rubbed and scuffed and the joints tender but sound. An important volume in the pantheon of presidential books which chronicles on pp. 57 and 262 the award of a patent to then-Illinois Congressman Abraham Lincoln. Having twice been aboard a riverboat which got stuck on shallow shoals he developed a concept for a bellows fixed under the hull of a riverboat which could be inflated to lift the boat over the obstruction and then retract. Lincoln had been a patent lawyer in the mid-1840s and was closely familiar with the laborious patent application process. <br /> <br /> To this day Lincoln is the only president to have been awarded a patent a fact which contributes to his enduring legacy as an uncommon genius and polymath. As such this tract while unrelated to politics is an essential volume in any substantial Lincoln collection. Uncommon in the trade. Not listed in Monaghan.

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.

1871135435Portland ME: George Stinson and Co. Publishers 1871. Large format lithograph of the Lincoln family by American engraver George Stinson. Framed. The entire piece measures 27.5 inches by 20.5 inches. Abraham Lincoln served as the 16th President of the United States from March 1861 until his assassination in April 1865. He led the United States through its Civil War and in doing so preserved the Union of the United States of America abolished slavery and strengthened the federal government. Lincoln began constructing his cabinet on election night and sought to create a cabinet that would unite the Republican party. His eventual cabinet would include his primary rivals for the Republican nomination and although his appointees held differing views on economic issues all were opposed to the expansion of slavery into the territories of the United States. The most senior cabinet post of Secretary of State was appointed to William Seward who had recently failed to win the 1860 Republican presidential nomination and Lincoln's choice for Secretary of the Treasury was Ohio Senator Salmon P. Chase Seward's primary political rival and the leader of a radical faction of the Republican party that sought the immediate abolition of slavery. George Stinson and Co., Publishers unknown
