176427759New York: Printed by John Holt 1764. 4to. Disbound with scattered spotting. The complete copy is paginated 2 iv 68 pp. Our copy lacks the half title half the title leaf which obliterates 'The Report.Tried' and the final page title page and final page supplied in facsimile. Else Good. <br/><br/> The case is significant for its assertion of the primacy of the jury system in colonial America. Publication occurred to emphasize to New Yorkers "the pernicious Consequences" of British interference with local juries "by a Method entirely new unconstitutional and illegal."<br/> Forsey had sued Cunningham for an assault and battery; a jury of their peers found for Forsey and assessed damages against Cunningham. Unhappy with the large amount of damages Cunningham sought an appeal. He did not claim that the trial court committed any errors of law; he simply argued that the jury had misconstrued the facts. Allowing the appeal would have diminished the role of the jury in favor of appellate judges' assertions of their royal prerogatives. Nevertheless Lieutenant Governor Cadwalader Colden permitted Cunningham to appeal. New Yorkers in 1764 already angered by British control of local affairs found this interference with the role of the jury intolerable. They challenged Colden's decision to allow the appeal; in late 1765 the New York Assembly agreed. <br/>Shipton & Mooney 41438. Bristol B2464. NAIP w021834 6 including the AAS copy which is defective.

186183848Boston: George C. Rand & Avery 1861. First Edition. Hardcover. Very Good. The original 1861 publication of the testimonial of "The Medical Profession of Philadelphia New York and Boston rebound in black cloth with gilt-lettered and slightly chipped spine label 56pp. Text clean pages evenly toned. The last pages are in effect forms requesting monies for Dr. Morton and his family. William T. G. Morton 1819-1868 was a surgeon dentist in Hartford Connecticut who claimed to be the first person to perform surgical anethesia on a patient's tumor in 1846. "Morton immediately patented ether hoping to retain its use exclusively for himself. Later he made repeated appeals to the American Congress for financial recompense for his 'invention'. Morton's instructor the chemist and geologist Charles Thomas Jackson said it was he who had made the discovery and had suggested that Morton should try it out. Horace Wells the dentist from Hartford Connecticut put forward his well-substantiated claim to have produced anaesthesia two years earlier with nitrous oxide. It is sad that such an epoch-making event should have been followed by 20 years of acrimony vituperation and litigation between three contestants each claiming to have originated anaesthesia."

184724931New York 1847. Ephemera. Very good condition. Signature of crew member of the 'Keying' the first ship from China ever to dock in New York City identified as "the Mandarin: He Sing Xi Sheng". The ship moored off the Battery in Manhattan in July 1847 much to the anger of the crew which had signed on for a voyage to Singapore and Batavia only. However the ship was a smashing success with 4000 visitors paying 25 cents each to board the vessel and gaze at the crew and ship. P.T. Barnum got in on the action by exhibiting a replica and claiming some of the crew were the original Chinese. 'Keying' sailed on to Boston and London and was noted in the press as the first junk to round the Cape of Good Hope or to have sailed in British waters. He Sing was still on board: "The ROYAL CHINESE JUNK "KEYING" manned by a Chinese Crew. Visitors received by a Mandarin of rank and Chinese Artist of celebrity. The Illustrated London News 29 July 1848. He Sing's signature in black ink on blue card with period pen inscription on white paper below "Mandarin He Sing of the Chinese Junk". with Clipping from the Illustrated London News showing a "Chinese Banner" with an invitation to readers to assist in its translation an early version of crowd sourcing.

11691Both on letterheads of the Syndicate Publishing Company New York. Adair's letter: 2 December 1914. Wright's letter: 30 March 1915. The letters provide a fascinating insight into the development of the transatlantic publishing industry. They are closely typed with single spacing and both centre around Walton's employment situation and his complaints about the sending over from America of 'Mr. Russell' about whose 'absolute worthlessness to the business' he complains. Adair's letter: 2pp. 4to. Good on lightly-aged paper. The firm has 'not the slightest doubt' that what Walton has said in his 'confidential communication' is 'entirely sincere': 'We feel it is just such a letter as a really big man having the interest of his employers at heart would right. sic' They have complete confidence in Russell's 'integrity honesty etc.' but acknowledge that it is important 'that he expenses of the London Office be kept down to the last notch'. Russell is 'familiar with so many things that have been done in this country and the manner in whcih either successes or failures have been made out of them' and is 'rather expert in figuring out the cheapest way to do things . A great many firms go to pieces not because they have not made money but for the reason that they failed to save any of that made'. Wright's letter: 3pp. 4to. Good on lightly-aged paper with slight damage not affecting the legibility of the text to the third of its three leaves. He has delayed replying to Walton's letter as he 'wanted to take sufficient time to think over our London situation more carefully and to definitely make up my own mind as to what would be for the best interests of the business'. He is not surprised that 'Mr. Starmer' has made Walton 'a liberal offer': 'there are plenty of other newspaper men in England who would not be slow to recognise your ability and to make you a satisfactory proposition'. Walton is highly qualified 'to handle the large and successful papers'. Wright lays out the plans he has for Walton: 'I have away down deep in my heart a great degree of interest in yourself and I have taken up the matter of your future with my associates with the idea in mind that at the proper time you will be given a connection with the company in a way that will be highly satisfactory to you; in fact I would not be at all surprised if an opportunity of absolute control of the English company would be given you'. In the meantime Walton's salary of £750 will be continued and he will be assisted by a 'traveling man'. 'You have been with our company going on two years. You have seen evidenced in Sheffield and one or two other towns what our plan of operation is worth and at such time as the war is over and things settle down to calm conditions you will in my opinion be able to produce results over there that will be highly gratifying to everybody interested.' He considers that England is not 'in nearly as serious a condition' as America: 'in fact I believe that business has been affected as much if not more in certain lines in the United States than it has in England'. On the question of Russell's 'absolute worthlessness to the business it would seem that backed up with a college education coupled with what he has learned in knocking about this country for fifteen or twenty years that he ought to be able in time and under the proper tuition of one more capable to at least earn a respectable part of his salary.'

He began his education in art as early as 11 years of age. His first job putting his talent and training to use came in the form of an apprenticeship with the Milwaukee firm Marr & Richards where he stayed for 3 years drawing and engraving on wood. The subsequent years included many moves from Milwaukee to Chicago and later to New York where he studied at ASL and was encouraged by Professor Packard to pursue a career as an illustrator at a European school. Nichols left for Munich in October 1885 to attend the Royal Academy where he studied under Heckel became a member of the American Club and socialized with Carl von Marr the clubs president. He went to London for a little while and worked as an illustrator. By 1893 hed returned to New York working mostly in advertising and illustrating for Harpers Weekly and Century magazines. He helped organize the New York Water Color Club. Nichols didnt curb his parapatetic lifestyle until he moved to Laguna Beach California in 1894. The art community in Los Angeles was in its infancy but he got a teaching job at the Echo Mountain summer school and he was inspired by the scenery of Yosemite Monterey San Juan Capistrano and other locations in southern California. He stayed in Laguna Beach until his death in 1939. hardcover
