Notes of a Journey through Texas and New Mexico in the Years 1841 and 1842 and Notes on the Coast Region of the Texan Territory: Taken During a Visit in 1842

184322512London: Royal Geographical Society 1843. First Edition. Hardcover. Fine. First appearance of two important articles on Texas extracted from Volume XIII Part 2 of the Journal of the Royal Geographical Society. 8vo pp 199-226 and 226-244 bound in recent quarter cloth and marbled boards. Fine. Falconer's Journey through Texas and New Mexico pp. 199-226 describes his travels from Galveston to San Antonio and then to Austin in 1841. This is followed by his account of the Texas Santa Fe Expedition which according to Streeter 1496 referencing the 1843 offprint of Falconer's article differs somewhat from the account he published in New Orleans in 1842. In the last four pages Falconer argues that Texas was not part of Louisiana when it was ceded by Spain to France. In Notes on the Coast Region of the Texas Territory Bollaert -- an English chemist geographer and ethnologist -- offers observations on the winds affecting the coastal geography of Texas discusses the errors present in many of the maps and charts of the coast and reports on what he saw during several excursions made from Galveston and Houston between April and June 1842. On one excursion noting good pastures and an abundance of fish and wild game he comments: "I could hardly help imagining when standing on this primeval land--not a dwelling yet to be seen--that the shores of these bays would in time be crowded with habitations; that these waters would afford the easy means of conveyance for the products of these countries to other lands and in return import from other realms." He also comments on existing settlements the native tribes river trade agriculture and natural resources and includes statistics on exports and imports at the Port of Galveston. To the best of our knowledge Bollaert's interesting article has never been reprinted. Royal Geographical Society hardcover

KEILY, Daniel J (1829-67)Biblio.com

Autograph Note Signed

40474This Union officer served on the staff of Brigadier General James Shields whose troops faced Stonewall Jackson's Confederate troops in the Shenandoah Valley in June 1862 and later commanded the Second Louisiana Regiment Cavalry; he was a good friend of famed Irish soldier Miles W. Keogh 1840-76 killed in the Battle of the Little Bighorn who served under him in the Papal Army during the Italian rebellion in 1860 and who fought with him in the Battle of Port Republic; he's reported to have become enamored with famed Southern spy "Belle" Boyd" at one point and to have unwittingly revealed military secrets to her. Outstanding pencilled ANS 2pp recto and verso heavy stock 4" X 2½" card "Conrad's Bridge" Virginia n.d. ca. early June 1862. Addressed to "General" probably James Shields. Very good. Lightly age toned.In this remarkable small report Keily reports in a small tight but fairly legible hand to his commander that "Col. Carroll moves his comm'd. at p.m. and will push on as rapidly as possible some cannonading heard this morning in the direction of Harrisonburg I would respectfully submit that if the Infantry did not move rapidly enough to carry out your views at Wainesborough before Jacksons arrival there a reconnaisance composed of cavalry conducted cautiously might attain the object with a good Guide which we have procured I would be glad to undertake it -- respectfully" and signs off adding his rank "Capt. A.D.C" beneath. A rather light challenging to transcribe postscript reads "P.S. Just received information from a reliable source that Jackson has --- --- --- Train on the --- Pt. Republic Road." It's difficult to precisely date Keily's note but General Shields did write General McDowell on June 4 1862 that "Colonel Carroll. after a forced night's march reached Conrad's Bridge this morning at 5 o'clock which bridge he found burned" -- which likely dates Keily's letter from this date or shortly after. Whether Shields took Keily up on his offer to lead a cavalry reconnaissance is unclear. Shields 1810-79 is perhaps best remembered as the Illinois politician who almost fought a duel with Abraham Lincoln in 1842; he's also the only person in American history to serve as U.S. senator from three different states Illinois Minnesota and Missouri; as a brigadier general of volunteers in the Civil War his lackluster performance as commander of the 2nd Division of the V Corps in the Army of the Potomac during the crucial Valley Campaign caused him to resign his commission. On June 9th the Battle of Port Republic took place a costly Confederate victory in which Jackson's 6000 troops faced off 3500 Union troops losing just over 800 men to the Union's loss of just over 1000 men -- a battle at which Keily himself was severely wounded in the face while leading a charge of Ohio cavalry up a hill into a barrage of Confederate artillery fire. The following year after painful recuperation Keily ended up on the staff of General Charles P. Stone in New Orleans recruiting cavalry troops in that occupied state. Late in the war he was court-martialed for "conduct unbecoming an officer" but the charges were shown false and by the end of the war he was brevetted a brigadier general. Keily died from yellow fever in Louisiana at age 38 shortly after the war's end making his autograph material quite scarce -- and a choice war-date item such as this most desirable. This remarkable war-date communication sheds interesting light on Shields as commander during the disastrous Valley Campaign. unknown

Beneath this in a different pen he had begun to write "List of birds" but the ink was bleeding so he wrote on a thick card "List of birds by Dr. S.W.

It was written to Mr. Deane in Philadelphia on May 28th 1900 and concerns an upcoming trip to Boston on the way to Maine. Robert Armstrong hardcover

JOURNAL OF THE SENATE OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA BEING THE FIRST SESSION OF THE THIRD CONGRESS BEGUN AND HELD AT THE CITY OF PHILADELPHIA DECEMBER 2 1793. bound with JOURNAL OF THE SENATE OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA BEING THE SECOND SESSION OF THE THIRD CONGRESS BEGUN AND HELD AT THE CITY OF PHILADELPHIA NOVEMBER 3 1794

179439904Philadelphia: John Fenno 1794. Folio. 205 1 blank; 114 12 pp. Each Journal is a separate imprint with separate title page each complete with Index bound together in contemporary sheep spine darkened and reinforced. Bit of endpaper spotting Very Good. These documents print Messages of President Washington including his December 1793 Address opening the Session his first Message to Congress since his re-election. He warns "The United States ought not to indulge a persuasion that contrary to the order of human events they will for ever keep at a distance those painful appeals to arms with which the history of every other nation abounds. There is a rank due to the United States among nations which will be withheld if not absolutely lost by the reputation of weakness." Washington urges fairness in commerce with the Indians: "It ought to be conducted without fraud without extortion with constant and plentiful supplies." Washington is profoundly annoyed with Citizen Genet who has sought "to involve us in war abroad and discord and anarchy at home." The First Session records Federalists' successful challenge to Albert Gallatin's election as Senator from Pennsylvania on the ground that he had not satisfied the Constitution's nine-year citizenship requirement. Affidavits and other information are printed regarding Gallatin's early years in the country. Also discussed are fiscal matters; the Bank of the United States; the treaty with England and other foreign policy issues; protection of the frontier and military questions; the Eleventh Amendment to the Constitution withdrawing federal courts' jurisdiction of suits against a State by citizens of another State; and a host of other matters. The Session closed in May 1794. The President's Message opening the Second Session focuses on the Whisky Rebellion the major domestic event of the day. Washington recounts the attacks upon federal officers including the kidnapping of a federal marshal; and his careful measured response finally calling out the militia. The Second Session devotes much attention to matters affecting the militia and issues involving Creek Indian lands within the State of Georgia. Evans 27911 29724. John Fenno unknown

Voting Rights Act: Evidence of Continued Need; Hearing before the Subcommittee on the Constitution of the Committee on the Judiciary House of Representatives One Hundred Ninth Congress Second Session March 8 2006

200676619Washington DC: U. S. Government Printing Office 2006. Presumed First Edition First printing. Wraps. Good. Serial No. 109-103. 3 of 4 volume set. Volume I v 1 1453 5 pages. Volume II v 1. 1455-2388 2. Volume III v 1 2389-4296. Volume IV NOT PRESENT. Footnotes. Illustrations. The Subcommittee will be holding its tenth hearing examining the Voting Rights Act of 1965 and the temporary provisions that are to expire. They're set to expire in 2007 unless we reauthorize by Congress which I think most of us anticipate will occur. The Subcommittee examined each of the expiring provisions in great detail. This afternoon we examine the evidence of continued discrimination against racial and language minority citizens since 1982 that have been compiled by a number of non-governmental organizations who will be testifying. I'd thank these organizations for the time and effort that they have put into completing these reports and in making sure that this Committee and Congress has before it a complete and accurate record of discrimination over the last 25 years. In continuing to reauthorize the temporary provisions Congress on four separate occasions examined the extent to which discrimination continued to exist by analyzing information such as enforcement statistics minority voter registration rates minority voter turnout and litigation pursued to protect minority voting rights. Federal agencies such as the United States Commission on Civil Rights were instrumental in investigating analyzing and reporting back to Congress on the state of minority voting during each consideration. Each time Congress concluded based upon the evidence presented that the exceptional conditions which existed in 1966 continued to exist in 1970 1975 1982 and in 1992 when it was last reauthorized. This afternoon the Committee continues to examine whether the exceptional conditions warranting the extension of the temporary provisions continue to exist in 2006. U. S.

Pillsbury, John SargentBiblio.com

Personal journal kept during a European trip

188959298July 9 1889 to August 23 1889. 12mo approx. 7" x 4½" approx. 130 pages in ink; legible and in near fine condition. The journal begins with a London entry: "We arrived from Oxford at 6 o'clock and were driven at once to the Royal Hotel where we had engaged rooms." This is the journal of a tourist primarily albeit a famous one with visits and detailed descriptions of the National Gallery the British Museum and other museums where he discourses at length on the artworks and the Houses of Parliament where "the Queen's reading room which is rather more finished than the public rooms generally having a beautiful floor laid of hardwood polished and as equally as fine as some floors of this style in the best houses in Minneapolis." At Westminster Abbey he marvels at the statue of Pitt: "The first monument after entering immediately on the right is that of the immortal Pitt. This is chiselled from white marble and the design is most beautiful and impressive and as it should hold the place of honor or first-place in the Abby. We perhaps revered the name of Pitt more than that of any other from the fact of his great influence in behalf of the States during the early struggles for a republican form of government - and for the eloquent defence of the rights of American people and his continued friendship down to the day of his death." On July 16 Pillsbury notes: "This has been a rather quiet day with myself Mrs. P. Alfred and Bill in company with Mr. & Mrs. McMillan visited the museums & art gallery at East Kensington while I attended to some business with Morton Rose & Co. and Mr. Sterling of the Trustees Executors & Securities Co. which consumed nearly or quite the forenoon. In the afternoon Mr. McMillan and myself visited the Court Buildings . We were also admitted to the room where the Parnell trial was in session." Other visits in London include The Tower of London the Royal Academy Academy of Fine Arts Foundling Hospital Windsor Castle Hyde Park Madam Toussard's Wax Museum. On the 25th of July Pillsbury spent "most of the day in company with W. D. Washburn at Morton Rose & Co. . with matters connected with Mill Syndicate . Mr & Mrs. McMillan left this morning for Paris all expected to accompany them but I was detained by business. We expected to stop overnight at Canterbury as this is a historic city. We finally completed the purchase of Royal Worcester . and did some other looking about preparatory to leaving for Paris." By train to Paris via Dover and Calais. In Paris they visit the Exposition Buildings including the department of jewels and precious stones gold and silver and displays on Japan China and Egypt. Also the Louvre "Paris is almost under the rule of Roman Catholic religion. There are but few Protestant churches. The Sabbath is not generally observed. The stores retailers are open and business is being done by most all classes." Leaving Paris they visit Fontainbleau and Luxemburg Gardens. Back in Paris they visit the Pantheon the Museum of Cluney and the tomb of Napoleon. Later on they take the train to Versailles to which Pillsbury devotes a full 12 pages describing the history architecture and artworks. On August 9 Pillsbury writes: "Having received a dispatch from W. D. Washburn at Karlsbad in which he requested me to see Mr. Payson regarding the sale of the flour mills. We did not accomplish much in the forenoon. In the afternoon we visited the Louvre before going to the gallery however. We went to Goupes Art Gallery to look at some new paintings which had just arrived." Pillsbury has a keen eye and writes often in detail of the art sculpture and architecture he sees and is comfortable with his mixing pleasure and business interests. He has also visited Brussels and Waterloo the Hague Haarlem and Amsterdam where the journal ends. Pillsbury 1827-1901 was the 8th governor of Minnesota and the co-founder with his nephew Charles Alfred Pillsbury of the Pillsbury Company. July 9, 1889 to August 23 unknown
