1809FB1105 /6A<p>Mottled calf binding. Red title plate with gilt banding and title.</p><p><strong>A well-preserved copy of a scarce book </strong> <strong>A Summary of Geography and History both ancient and modern</strong> <strong>Alexander Adam</strong> 24 June 1741 – 18 December 1809 was a Scottish teacher and writer on Roman antiquities. Alexander Adam was born near Forres in Moray the son of a farmer. From his earliest years he showed uncommon diligence and perseverance in classical studies notwithstanding many difficulties and privations. In 1757 he went to Edinburgh where he studied at the University of Edinburgh. His reputation as a classical scholar secured him a post as assistant at Watson's Hospital and the headmastership in 1761. In 1764 he became private tutor to Alexander Kincaid afterwards Lord Provost of Edinburgh by whose influence he was appointed in 1768 to the rectorship of the High School on the retirement of Mr Matheson whose substitute he had been for some time before. From this period he devoted himself entirely to the duties of his office and to the preparation of his numerous works on classical literature. His popularity and his success as a teacher are strikingly illustrated by the great increase in the number of his pupils many of whom subsequently became distinguished men among them being Walter Scott Lord Brougham and Francis Jeffrey. He succeeded in introducing the study of Greek into the curriculum of the school notwithstanding the opposition of the university headed by Principal William Robertson. In 1780 the University of Edinburgh conferred upon him the honorary degree of Doctor of Laws. He lived his final years at 39 George Square. He died after an illness of five days during which he occasionally imagined himself still at work his last words being "It grows dark boys you may go". He is buried near his home in the small graveyard of St. Cuthbert's Chapel of Ease on Chapel Street usually known as Buccleuch Parish Church. The grave lies on the north wall.</p> Cadell & Davies. hardcover

CLAIMS TO THE OREGON TERRITORY CONSIDERED is a comprehensive analysis of the various claims made by the United States and Great Britain over the Oregon Territory. Thom examines the geographical historical and political factors that led to the dispute between the two nations over the territory. He also explores the legal arguments made by both sides and provides his own British opinion on the matter.<br /> <br /> RE: MEMORIAL OF A NUMBER OF CITIZENS.: "By the late 1830's and early 1840's. many people had already gone to the Oregon Territory and established settlements there. One major problem which arose was that the Oregon Territory was neither governed by the United States nor Great Britain due to stipulations in the treaty of 1818. This was problematic for security purposes. In a letter authored by "A number of citizens of the Oregon Territory" which was written to Congress in 1838 they make a plea for "Congress to take possession of and extend their jurisdiction over the said Territory." Receiving government protection was the only way for settlers of the Oregon Territory to ensure the survival of the settlements because without protection they would have to protect themselves from Indians British Spanish or anyone else who adventured into the territory. In return for United States dominion over the Oregon Territory the settlers incentivized westward dominion by promising fertile land lumber and prosperity which they believed would entice the United States government to act immediately." from historyissexydotcom2. unknown
