184355252Providence: B. Cranston and Company 1843. First edition 8vo pp. 52; removed from binding wrappers wanting; very good. Durfee here propounds the theory that "the recent revolutionary development of steam power was not merely an instance of man making progress it was a revelation of the divine 'law of progress' and of a 'higher destiny' planned by God himself for the new age" Schneider History of American Philosophy. These ideas were adumbrated by Durfee in The Panidea; Or An Omnipresent Reason Considered as the Creative and Sustaining Logos 1846 "a pretentious work that nobody read" DAB. More charitable comments are made by Joseph Blau in his collection of American Philosophic Addresses 1700 to 1900 page 381 ff where the Oration is reprinted in full. An important aspect of Durfee's deterministic theory of history is that "there is no absolute undefinable popular sovereignty which can in a manner its own and at any moment carry a certain supposed natural equality into social and political life and thereby elevate poor human nature however rude and degraded in condition at once as by a sort of magic into a state of supreme and absolute perfection" quoted by Blau. This is because the advances of science and technology impose conditions upon society which democracy cannot control and to which it must adapt. Blau notes that Durfee's views were influenced by German transcendentalism as mediated by Coleridge and Cousin. Not surprisingly given his skepticism on the efficacy of popular sovereignty Durfee as Chief Justice of the Rhode Island Supreme Court played a prominent role in opposition to the Dorr forces.

"In this travelogue and account of American Quaker practice Scott recounts how he traveled from his home in Rhode Island to congregations of Friends throughout the United States as they then existed before making an expedition to Europe to attend meetings in England Wales and Ireland. Though evocative place names are abundant travel-detail is limited. His diary is divided between his soul-searching and specific accounts of his experiences at various meetings. Although Scott often records feeling compelled to remain silent in these meetings he was a notable speaker and his writings although they became controversial after his death were highly influential" OCLC.

002783Paris: Charavay Martoux the first two works. Charavay Martin the third work. Edouard Crete printer. Half Morocco Marbled Boards. Good. Folio 14 by 11.5 inches 36 by 30 cm. N.d. circa 1900. Rebacked with the original morocco spine mounted onto skiver. The skiver though being a different shade of red is conspicuous along the entire front joint and at the lower end in particular the reattachment looks clumsy. The leather of the spine has heavily rubbed with dry chipping at the extremities. The leaves within are heavily age toned and a bit brittle with some marginal chipping. A few tape repairs. The leaves of the three volumes are not exactly even and so this comes off similar to many a sammelbund. Still excellent value for two antique French juvenile classics. <br/><br/> Charavay, Martoux (the first two works). Charavay, Martin (the third work). Edouard Crete, printer. hardcover books

184654235Boston: Thomas H. Webb & Co 1846. First edition 8vo pp. 176; original printed wrappers backed with red cloth at an early date manuscript paper label on spine; wrappers lightly soiled and worn with minor loss to back wrap; a few corners creased and curled but text generally clean. A good sound copy. A work of Emersonian pantheism by the Chief Judge of the Rhode Island Supreme Court who presided over the Dorr trials. In an earlier work The Influence of Scientific Discovery and Invention on Social and Political Progress 1843 Durfee believed that he had found in the advent of steam power a sign of divine intervention indicating a "law of progress" in man's development. Panidea adumbrates this theme: all is eventually assimilated into the "Theanthropoid" Durfee's term for the Divine Mind. See Schneider History of American Philosophy. DAB offers a concise assessment: "a somewhat pretentious philosophical work which nobody read." American Imprints 2262. <br/><br/> Thomas H. Webb & Co hardcover books
184234680Bristol 1842. 16pp caption title as issued. Disbound else Very Good<br/><br/> Chief Justice Durfee says that the Dorr rebels are traitors. "The first duty which every person residing within the jurisdiction of this State owes to it is that of allegiance." The Dorr Constitution "can find no justification in law." Durfee explains with references to Rhode Island's original Charter of 1643 that sovereignty is "found in the body politic and corporate and no where else.No one within this jurisdiction can lawfully renounce this allegiance and transfer it to another sovereignty." The Chief Justice denounces "this principle of revolution by an unauthorized and irresponsible movement of masses."<br/> Dorrites must have trembled when not long after giving this Charge they learned that Durfee would preside at the trial for treason of Thomas Dorr. <br/>FIRST EDITION.

Organized in three parts Wilson begins with a short description of the climate in New England from 1630 until 1806. Wilson expands the details of his study to show climate variations from 1801 to 1814 and their correlation with the rise and fall of the disease. This is one of the earliest studies in America to offer data on climate and disease with specific reference to the outbreak of spotted fever in 1807 1809 1811-1815. Part two of the Wilson's study describes the cause for the fever with reference to its impact on the lungs liver and brain. Part three discusses the ways of preventing the disease and its spread from person to person. The unsigned engravings illustrate the impact of the spotted fever on the nervous system lungs and heart.
