1700 HANDWRITTEN MANUSCRIPT TREASURE OF BOSTON MASSACHUSETTS AMERICANA: DEED TO FORT WARREN AND AREA SIGNED BY ISAAC ADDINGTON AND ADAM WINTHROP

1700000819Boston Massachusetts MA 1700. On offer is a superb and important piece of Americana specifically a handwritten deed concerning the very important geographic area of Fort Warren which defends the harbor in Boston Massachusetts and has done so from 1861 through the end of World War II. To buffs of the Civil War it was also the location where the famous Union marching anthem 'John Brown' was written using a tune from an old Methodist camp song 'Glory Glory Hallelujah!' and signed by Isaac Addington who served on the Salem Witch Trial Grand Jury and Adam Winthrop the son of John Winthrop First Governor of Massachusetts. John Winthrop 1588-1649 is perhaps best remembered for the famous sermon in which he likened the Massachusetts Bay Colony to a 'city upon a hill' a model to the world of social and religious order." Ref: Wikipedia. This manuscript document is dated Boston 27 Dec 1700. Folded into thirds Calligraphic initials. SIGNED BY ADAM WINTHROP son of John Winthrop First Governor of Massachusetts and ISAAC ADDINGTON clerk of the Grand Jury during the Salem Witch Trials. This is the original deed referenced by Holmes Abiel 1763-1837. Cambridge : Hilliard and Brown 1829. from the Coll. Mass. HiM. Soc. iii. 299. which states: "In 1700 Adam conveyed the island to his son-in-law and daughter to be transmitted to their descendants. The Indenture handsomely written on parchment is now before me. It covenants and grants the island to "John Wainwright and to Ann his wife during the term of their natural lives and afterward to the use and behoof of the heires of their two body. begotten or to be begotten forever." The island was next owned by their son John Winthrop Professor of Mathematics and Natural Philosophy In Harvard College; and next by his sons Hines and William of Cambridge lately deceased. James purchased of William his share and a few years since sold to the United States about five acres in two parcels at the east and west end of the island with a passage way rota the one to the other for the purpose of fortifications. On the west end has been erected Fort Warren which defends the entrance of the harbour." CONDITION: signatures are strong and legible majority of the deed legible though with age-wear sometimes serious rubbing and fading discoloration some holes; certainly not in the presumed fine condition when Abiel Holmes held the document in 1829 but certainly very presentable with the red wax seal still intact. This document is a wonderful tapestry comprised of the strands of early Colonial history. Inherited by his son Adam it links the famous Winthrop name from his namesake Grandfather Adam Winthrop 1548-1623 an English lawyer and famous Puritan reformer in the Elizabethan and Jacobean periods through his great grandson Professor John Winthrop who was intimately connected to Harvard University's early history. The document is also witnessed and signed by Isaac Addington the first Secretary of the Mass. Bay Colony from 1692 to 1714 who additionally served on the grand jury in the Salem witch trials. The trials famously resulted in the executions of 20 people 14 women 6 men. PROVENANCE: Most recently from a private collector the present condition suggests this deed has long been in private hands and not an institutional archive. While in the 1820s the deed was possibly present in the archives of the Mass Historical Society it did not remain in the archives long thereafter and entered less protected private circulation. That stated Mr. Jeremy B. Dibbell of the Massachusetts Historical Society has kindly confirmed that this document like others that have entered private hands is not the property of the Massachusetts Historical Society. .

Anfang einiger Vorstellungen der Vohrnehmsten Gebäude so wohl innerhalb der Stadt als in denen Vorstädten von Wien

3379Aug. Vind. Augsburg : J.A. Pfeffel 1719. Oblong folio half calf and original speckled brown paper over boards recently re-backed raised bands with gilt floral ornaments in seven compartments. 29 of 30 leaves comprising 2 engraved titles and 27 plates; lacking typographic privilege leaf as is often the case. An unusually handsome wide-margined copy of this marvelous collection of views of early eighteenth-century Vienna. The series begins with a beautifully designed allegorical plate consisting of a panoramic view of the city in the form of a relief panel on a monument surmounted by an eagle with two figures nearby leaning on overturned urns from which water flows in cataracts to the bottom of the scene. Subsequent plates depict façades squares monuments great houses gardens etc. These include "Der Schotten Platz" "Prospect des Wienerischen Neu-Marckts" "Die Furste Lichtenstainische Pallast" "Prospect eines Wienerischen Platzes der Hoff genannt" "Prospect des Hohen Marckts zu Wien" "Prospect von dem Lust-Gebäude und Garten" "Prospect des Lust-Gebäudes bey Dornbach Neu-Waldeck genannt" and others. Nearly every plate is richly detailed and teeming with figures engaged in all manner of activities: a winter parade with sleighs market scenes bears with their trainers cooks roasting meat on spits gamboling dogs performers on a stage rearing and kicking horses and so on. Most of the plates are after architect Joseph Emanuel Fischer von Erlach 1693-1742 and three after his more famous father Johann Bernhard Fischer von Erlach court architect to the Hapsburgs and one of the towering figures of baroque architecture. Joseph Emanuel honed his skills in his father's atelier working on several of his commissions and assisting him in the compilation of Entwurff einer Historischen Architectur 1721 published in London as A Plan of Civil and Historical Architecture 1737 an important comparative study of world architecture. A fine architect in his own right who obtained many important commissions and ultimately succeeded to his father's office of court architect Joseph has nevertheless remained in his father's shadow. Johann Adam Delsenbach 1687-1765 studied portrait engraving with Augustin Fleischmann and attended the Nuremberg Academy of Painting. In 1710 he went to Vienna in response to Johann Bernhard Fischer von Erlach's call for engravers to work on his Entwurff for which Delsenbach engraved many of the plates. He was subsequently appointed court engraver by Anton Florian Prince of Lichtenstein. CONDITION: Good moderate wear offsetting from leather corners to endpapers occasional light foxing and soiling. The luxurious wide margins of this copy make it especially appealing. Aug. Vind. [Augsburg] : J.A. Pfeffel, [1719] unknown

Essays on Philosophical Subjects… To Which Is Prefixed an Account of the Life and Writings of the Author by Dugald Stewart.

1795151270London: Printed for T. Cadell Jun. and W. Davies 1795. First edition of this important collection of Smith's essays featuring the important first publication of his History of Astronomy. Quarto bound in quarter calf with gilt titles to the spine. One of 1000 copies. Containing the first publication in book form of Dugald Stewart's Account of the Life and Writings of Adam Smith which had appeared in the Transactions of the Royal Society of Edinburgh in 1794. Stewart's Account "formed the basis upon which everyone drew for biographies of Smith that began to appear in the early 19th century" Tribe 55. Goldsmith 16218. Kress B3038. Rothschild 1902. In very good condition. Though Essays on Philosophical Subjects appeared five years after Smith's death most were likely written before the publication of his Theory of Moral Sentiments in 1759. Essays was compiled by his literary executors physicist Joseph Black and geologist James Hutton. Prior to his death Smith "instructed them to destroy his manuscripts but allowed them at their discretion to publish a set of essays" Berry Cambridge Companion 116. As noted herein Smith had begun work early in his career on "a connected history of the liberal sciences and elegant arts" but "found it necessary to abandon that plan as far too extensive." These writings thus represent Smith's longstanding attempts at such a "connected history" and range over philosophy aesthetics and the history of science. A biographical Account of Smith and his work is followed by the extensive History of Astronomy which was the only writing Smith did not want destroyed; indeed he specifically arranged for its posthumous publication. Black and Hutton used their authority to incorporate its momentous first publication into this collection. Astronomy "was probably begun decades before Smith's death perhaps as early as 1746 and was at one time intended to form a chapter of a much larger work… Astronomy purports to explain what drives 'philosophers' to ask the questions they do and to seek explanations for the things they observe" Otteson Adam Smith 22-3. Astronomy "has occasioned much scholarship… Just as The Wealth of Nations was titled an enquiry into its 'natures and causes' so Smith says at the end of the preliminary section of Astronomy that the design of the essay is to consider the 'nature and causes of the three sentiments"—identified by him as "Wonder Surprise and Admiration." Citing Galileo Copernicus Kepler Newton Descartes and others Astronomy aims "to illustrate how philosophy is an activity that addresses itself to the imagination" Berry 116-117 123. Also included in this volume are his essays on "Ancient Physics" "Ancient Logics and Metaphysics" and the "Imitative Arts" along with a concluding essay on perception in the five "External Senses."

Within this impressive two-volume work are extensive references to treaties parliamentary acts the substantive contributions of economic texts and thorough statistical accounts of currency population and wealth. "In the year preceding Anderson's death appeared his great and only work An Historical and Chronological Deduction. Coming down from the earliest times to the year 1762 Anderson's work is a monument of stupendous industry. Composed in the form of annals it is not merely a record of commercial progress and colonial enterprise but a history of the political industrial and social development of all civilised countries and especially of Great Britain and Ireland. Abstracts of all treaties acts of parliament and pamphlets in any way bearing on commerce or kindred matters are added together with statistical accounts of the national finances of prices currency and population. In the introduction to his work Anderson showed himself in advance of his time and exposed several of the fallacies of the mercantile system. He condemned industrial monopolies and advocated the naturalisation of foreign protestants and a uniformity of weights measures and coinage for all the nations of Christendom."

A Voyage Round the World in His Britannic Majesty's Sloop Resolution Commanded by Capt. James Cook During the Years 1772 3 4 and 5. Volumes I-II

177741959London: Printed for B. White Fleet-Street; J. Robson Bond Street; P. Elmsly Strand; and G. Robinson Pater-noster Row 1777. Two volumes. 4to. 11 3/16 x 8 1/2 inches. First edition. Volume I: A4 a4 b2 B-4G4 4H2. i-xviii 2 1-602 2. 624 pp. Title Preface Contents Engraved Folding Chart Chapters I-IV Errata. Volume II: A2 B-4H4. 4 1-607 1. 612 pp. Title Contents Errata Chapters V-VIII. Contemporary tan calf maroon morocco lettering pieces marbled endpapers First edition with Forster's large folding chart of the Southern Hemisphere. This the first published account of Cook's second voyage 1772-1775 was published six weeks before Cook's official version. Forster's work is substantial even though it was speedily produced to rival Cook's work. The German naturalist Forster and his father Johann Reinhold Forster 1729-1798 had served as the official botanists aboard the HMS Resolution during the second voyage. When the Royal Admiralty decided to withdraw their offer to have the elder Forster contribute to the official report due to a controversy over his emoluments George produced his own publication. The Admiralty had commissioned Cook to undertake his second voyage in the wake of the success of his first. It was perhaps the most important of Cook's three voyages. The purpose of the second voyage was to circumnavigate the globe as far south as possible searching for any unknown southern landmasses which the Royal Society still believed could exist. But Cook proved beyond a doubt that a fabled Terra Australis Incognita which was supposed to lie between South America and New Zealand did not exist. His two ships became the first to traverse the Antarctic Circle doing so three times discovering and re-discovering islands in the Pacific including New Zealand New Caledonia Palmerston the Norfolk Islands Easter Island the Marquesas New Hebrides Tonga and the Sandwich Islands. An enormous amount of scientific and ethnographic information was garnered from the expedition and as a result of the new techniques Cook employed not one crew member died of scurvy a remarkable achievement for which Cook was awarded the Royal Society's Copley Medal. Forster though young proved a knowledgeable and adept observer; his book is the essential supplement to the literature of the second voyage. The lively elegant prose and critical detail of his account based loosely on both his father's journal and though unacknowledged Cook's own work make it one of the finest examples of eighteenth-century travel literature. It is of prime importance too in the history of European contact with Pacific peoples. The Forsters' publications reveal the sophistication and enthusiasm they brought to their interactions with Polynesian peoples as well as a sensitivity to the moral ambiguities of contact. "For all the controversy A Voyage Round the World is an interesting and important account that complements the official one with facts and astute observations on the human side of the voyage." Rosove Its confident visionary style incorporates a good deal of polemic particularly in its criticism of the treatment of islanders by Cook's crew. It is a thrilling account of life aboard one of Cook's vessels. BCJC 1247. Beddie 1247. Cox I p. 60. Davidson pp. 61-62. ESTC T155479. Hill 625. Hocken pp.16-17. Holmes 23. Kroepelien 450.

I Love My Love

CNAP087San Francisco: The Arion Press 2009. New. Kiki Smith. The book is 13-7/8 inches square with 16 printed panels and two blanks in concertina format. The paper is Mohawk Superfine cover. The type is Scotch Roman handset using 24-point for the text and other sizes for display and subsidiary material printed by letterpress. The graphic art was printed by photo-offset lithography in tri-tone: brown-black tan and yellow-orange inks. The boards and box containing the book are covered in Japanese cloth of an iridescent brown with gold titling. The edition is limited to 75 numbered copies for sale. All copies are signed by the artist. "I Love My Love" a ballad by Scottish-born poet Helen Adam is based on a traditional Celtic interpretation of the Medusa theme. The book features sixteen images by artist Kiki Smith derived from her own hair. Helen Adam would have been 100 years old in December 2009. She was a prominent member of the San Francisco literary scene that profoundly altered the course of American poetry in the 1950s and 1960s. Among the avant-garde she was seen as an anomaly seemingly old-fashioned but regarded as a direct link to ancient poetic tradition. In Adam’s unsettling ballad the bridegroom is first embraced then ensnared by his bride’s lavish golden tresses. After he murders her the hair continues to grow and avenges itself upon the guilty bride-groom who tried to free himself from the constrictive bonds of love. The book is bound in concertina format in an accordion-fold of eighteen panels. Images of the artist’s hair are printed lithographically in three colors alternately above and below the text with the hair flowing outward from the left margin of each panel. The result is an artist book that stretches out flat to over twenty feet. It can be displayed on a shelf or table spread out to twelve feet or less in the accordion mode. It can also be viewed two pages at a time as in a conventional codex. The artist’s hair has been used to create a graphic parallel to the poetry. ___POSTAGE: Please note that this is an unusually large and heavy volume and additional postage may apply; please inquire for details. ___Swan's Fine Books is pleased to be a member of the ABAA ILAB and IOBA and we stand behind every book we sell.

First Edition of the Illustrator's First Book One Year in the Life of a Young Man Depicted in Seventeen Hand-Colored Lithograph Plates ADAM Victor. Un An de la Vie d un Jeune Homme. Histoire véritable en 17 Chapitres. Escrits par lui-même et Lithographiés par Victor Adam. Paris: Sazerac et Duval Engelmann Langlumè & Brossier 1824. First edition. Folio 13 9/16 x 10 3/8 inches; 345 x264 mm. Lithograph title-page and seventeen superb hand-colored lithograph plates printed by Langlumé. Some occasional light marginal foxing plate 10 with two neatly repaired small closed tears to lower blank margin. All plates with the blind stamp of the publisher Sazerac et Duval in lower blank margin. Small circular library stamp of Bernard Franck at foot of title-page and also on front free endpaper. Contemporary quarter dark-green scored calf over green paper boards. Smooth spine ruled in gilt tan morocco label lettered in gilt board edges worn. With the bookplate of celebrated collector Bernard Franck on front free endpaper. An excellent example of a very rare suite of hand-colored lithographs by Victor Adam. Victor Adam 1801-1865 is better known for his later works of pictorial journalism or for his many lithographs of military history than for his early works of fashion and society life. "His immense production contains many amusing albums concerning the life of the time such as Un an dans la vie de jeune homme. This series is a sort of bourgeois rake's progress. A young man from the country comes to Paris to sample its pleasures. He acquires a new wardrobe; buys a horse; is duped by gamblers makes a conquest of a pretty lady; exclaims 'Jasmin! she seemed so artless' as he lies recovering from the resulting malady; is imprisoned for debt; writes at last to 'the old one' a buxom woman of means; and is accepted by her in the final plate. The series is unusual among the albums of the time in that it tells a consecutive story and it certainly has more spirit and finish than Adam's usual work" Ray.

Bernard Franck 1849-1924 Born in Paris Franck was a veteran of the 1870 Franco-Prussian War during which he was awarded the Medaille Militaire. He was an industrialist specializing in the manufacturing of military equipment. His success in business enabled him to become an inveterate collector. He amassed his vast collection over 45 years from 1875 to 1920. The collection consisted of 18th Century and early 19th Century objects - miniature portraits many emphasizing military subjects medals and decorations armory uniforms paintings engravings a variety of bibelots. Besides the miniature portraits especially noteworthy was Franck's collection of Carnets de Bal dance cards. He sold this collection to J.P. Morgan around 1910. Before doing so he had the collection reproduced in an album entitled "Collection de 124 carnets de bal du XVIIIe siecle/formee par M.Bernard Franck a Paris de l'annee 1875 au 23 avril 1902". Only 20 albums were produced of which one is in the Watson Library of the Metropolitan Museum and one in the Morgan Library autographed by Franck to Morgan. Franck died in 1924.
