18780022978Charleston South Carolina: The News and Courier Book and Job Presses 1878. First Edition . Hardcover. Good/None as Issued. Good/1st ed. This copy had some mottling to the cloth over boards but has been professionally stabilized and dyed to match the cloth over the boards. However as can be seen in the pictures the edges of the two covers are still mottled all the way around on both covers. 35pp. a reprint of a series of articles from the News and Courier October 10 1877 about raising funds for a monument to honor the fallen Irish Volunteers that fought in two wars. Also includes a description of a flag created by the ladies of Charleston for the Gen. Maxey Gregg's Regiment of South Carolina. The next article describes the reopening of the Miltary Hall Festival on November 6 1877. The next article is a sketch of the Irish Volunteers 1782-1801-1778 which covers 3 pages back and front. There is a two page article about a banner presentation I beleive the aforementioned flag for the Irish Volunteers at the Catholic Cathedral in Charleston on September of 1861.The last article is A Visit to Col. Gregg's Regiment also from the Charleston Courier which also addresses the presentation of a flag and reminding the Charleston citizens to donate to provide the soldiers with winter clothing. There are two muster rolls for the Irish Volunteers: the first a list of soldiers that volunteered their services to the state of South Carolina on September 16th 1860 and the Roll of the Irish VolunteersCompany K that volunteered for the Army of Northern Virginia. Theres also a muster roll for soldiers mustered into Confederate Service as Company "C" Charleston Battallion. The previous owner has listed two soldiers as the last living members of this company as of August 1896. This little book was printed by the Charleston News and Courier and is printed on newsprint that the paper was printed on and is double row on each page. The paper is pliable and there is some light foxing throughout the book. Prevouis owner's name is on the front pastedown. the binding is tight the hinges are secure and firm the gutters are intact and there is a shadow on the front free endpaper from what I'm guessing was a newspaper article left in the book. The title is in gold lettering on the front cover. I found only one copy of this book available --in the Charleston College. Happy to answer any questions about the book. Quite a lot of information about the Irish Volunteers of Charleston and their warm relationship to the citizens of Charleston. <br/> <br/> The News and Courier Book and Job Presses hardcover

20532Germantown PA: Germantown Print Works. Textile. Good. An appealing illustrated broadside on cloth bearing a very early appearance of the famous "I cannot tell a lie" cherry tree story. Collins Threads of History says it was printed by the Germantown Print Works in Pennsylvania ca. 1806. The story itself which was invented by Washington's biographer Mason Locke Weems first appeared in print that same year in the fifth edition of Weems' Life of Washington. Aspiring to present George Washington as an ideal role model for young Americans Weems embellished and invented biographical details to help demonstrate the founding father's honesty and other virtues. Measures approximately 11 x 11.75 inches. Typical staining some fraying at the right edge but entire printed border often found compromised is present. A nice example.
