Contemporary full speckled calf backstrip with red and black labels lettered in gilt. Binding worn upper board held by cords only moderate foxing and toning closed tear to C3 and F1. Signature of Horatio Gates to first free endpaper. Bookplate of Alexander Chambers. Stamp of Sophia Eyres on first free endpaper her name in ink on the second freeendpaper and her signature and date 1774 to the rear endpaper. § Eighteenth edition vol. 1 of 2 vols. This copy signed by the revolutionary war officer Horatio Gates. That Gates should have acquired this edition published in 1767 is of some biographical interest as it was around this time that he was renewing his commitment to a Christian life after an eventful youth spent fighting in the Seven Years’ War. “By 1762 he had become a master of military administration and an accomplished leader of men in battle. These skills however did him little good once the war ended. Living in England with no chance of promotion he sought surcease for a time in liquor and gambling but he mastered these vices in the late 1760s and drifted toward republicanism and Methodism†ANB. The pious reflections contained in clergyman James Hervey’s 1714-1758 first and most popular work “Meditations among the Tombs†and “Reflections on a Flower Garden†were clearly not successful in winning over Gates to the contemplative life and he is now best remembered for his later career as an American colonist and general during the Revolutionary War in which he controversially took credit for the victory in the Battles of Saratoga and was blamed for the defeat at the Battle of Camden. A later owner of this book was Alexander Chambers a general during the American Civil War. The stamp and signature of Sophia Eyres dated 1774 are also intriguing but efforts to identify her have been so far unsuccessful. ESTC T27780. Printed for John and Francis Rivington unknown books

Small tears at the spine ends some scuffing and modest stains on the front board of Volume One a good set lacking the dustwrappers. Intriguingly Inscribed by the author: "Cordially Inscribed for Dr. Jerome Salinger by the author. Hervey Allen. Poughkeepsie N.Y. April 2 1927." We cannot identify the recipient other than to speculate that he might have been a relative of another New York-dwelling Jerome Salinger better known as J.D. Salinger who was decidedly not a doctor and indeed would have only been eight years old at the time. George H. Doran hardcover

186934035Boston: Printed at the Office of "Weekly American Workman 1869. 22 2 pp. Original printed blue wrappers some light edge chipping and toning stitched. Very Good. <br/><br/> This printing designated "20th thousand" is the earliest edition located at the Library of Congress or on OCLC as of August 2017. It is Heywood's only Boston-published work. There are undated editions of the "Fortieth Thousand." <br/> "YOURS OR MINE attempted to solve the problem of property ownership. It was an investigation of the basis upon which property was held and the reasons why it was inequitably distributed. The labor reform movement should seek 'fundamental equity' he said and not become another 'assault on vested interests' a 'raid of the have-nothings upon the have-somethings.' .Heywood believed that occupancy and use were the real valid titles to ownership despite the fact that society acquiesced in other claims to ownership in the belief that such deference performed some benefit to the 'general welfare.'" Martin James: MEN AGAINST THE STATE 1953 page 111. <br/> A graduate of Brown University Heywood was a public speaker author abolitionist suffragist and individual anarchist. He believed that small communities should govern themselves without a central authority. Interested in labor reform he was a founder of the Worcester Labor Reform League and a delegate to the National Labor Union. In addition to his other causes he believed in "free love" opposed marriage for subjecting women to sexual slavery and supported free choice for women in sexual relations birth control and abortion. Arrested three times and jailed twice under the Comstock laws he was not dissuaded from following his own path. See DAB; Martin at pages 105-125.

3304610" x 15-1/2" folded to 7-3/4" x 10". 4pp. Letter on page 1 interior pages blank and addressed on final page to Southerland. In ink manuscript. Wax seal small tear on blank area of rear leaf opening of the seal. Light wear. Very Good. <br/><br/> This letter concerns the high-profile counterfeiting case involving William Brockway Henry Knickerbacker and a Mr. Snyder. In 1847 and 1848 counterfeit bills of several New Haven banks appeared in commerce. The banks-- through Hervey Sanford and Henry Hotchkiss-- made vigorous efforts to identify the criminals and to procure new plates. But the counterfeiters copied the new bills expertly. The criminals then counterfeited bills of the North River Bank in Hudson New York. Here their luck ran out; they were caught and arrested in Hudson in 1849. This January 1850 letter to Attorney Southerland is in preparation for the trial of the malefactors. <br/> Brockway escaped from jail around April 1850; he was recaptured in September. POUGHKEEPSIE JOURNAL April 13 1850 Page 2 and September 7 1850 Page 2; NEW YORK TRIBUNE April 19 1850 Page 1. William Brockway 1822-1920 had a 50-year counterfeiting career. One of the best most famous and most interesting counterfeiters of his day he studied chemistry at Yale and made exact copies of currency printing plates. He fooled the most accomplished forgery detectors and Treasury officials. Undeterred by this arrest he continued to practice his trade and was arrested and convicted several times into the early 1900's.<br/> Henry Hotchkiss 1801-1871 was president of the New Haven County Bank for 21 years. A pillar of the New Haven establishment he was a member of every significant community institution. Hervey Sanford 1785-1869 was president of City Bank of New Haven for many years and president of the New Haven Bank. He also served as director of the New Haven County Bank. <br/> Waterman Lilly Ormsby 1809-1883 born in Connecticut settled in New York. He was an engraver and inventor of a ruling-machine a transfer-press and the "grammagraph" for roll-die engraving on steel which engraved on steel directly from medals medallions and the like using a "roll-die" engraving technique for engraving on steel. He later contracted with Samuel Colt to add engraving to his guns. He was a founder of the Continental Bank Note Company of New York. In 1852 he wrote a book on bank note engraving and preventing forgery. Stauffer & Fielding: AMERICAN ENGRAVERS UPON COPPER AND STEEL. BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCHES. 1907.
