1811137677Rio de Janeiro: Na Impressão Regia 1811-12. Adam Smith in Portuguese First edition in Portuguese comprising a selection of passages from books I-IV of Smith's Wealth of Nations translated from the third English edition of 1784 by Bento da Silva Lisboa. "Given the strong Brazilian interest in Smith's work one can better understand why the first Portuguese translation of Wealth of Nations appeared during 1811-12 in Rio de Janeiro. This is a partial translation with the omission of Book V and half of Books I and IV. The translator's preface makes clear that Wealth of Nations was translated and studied as a doctrinal blueprint to promote the liberalisation of economic relations between Portugal and her most important colony fostering in this way the independent development of the Brazilian economy."

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

1840003890Jeannin. BONAPARTE Napoleon ADAM Victor; ARNOUT Jules. Chambre Ardente de Napoleon construite a Toulon en Juillet 1840 dans la Fregate la Belle-Poule. Paris Jeannin 1840. Large folio lithograph 510 x 355 mm. Blind-stamped. Dessinee d'apres nature par Arnout; l'entourage par V. Adam. Printed by Lemercier Bernard et Cie. Light scattered foxing chiefly to the margins; some minor handling wear. Very good. One of the more visually striking plates from Adam's suite documenting the exhumation return and state funeral of Napoleon in 1840. The plate forms part of Victor Adam's Retour en France des Depouilles Mortelles de Napoleon a suite of twenty lithographs documenting the Retour des Cendres. The scene depicts the elaborate chapelle ardente or lying-in-state chamber specially constructed aboard the frigate Belle-Poule for the transport of Napoleon's remains from St Helena to France. The candlelit funerary interior dominated by imperial eagles and Napoleonic emblems reflects the carefully orchestrated political symbolism surrounding the repatriation of the emperor's body under Louis-Philippe. This plate is from the original first edition of the complete series of twenty large-format lithographs issued in Paris in 1840. . Very Good. Soft cover. 1st Edition. 1st Printing. 1840.
