1713322213New York: William Bradford 1713. 688151-173175-245 i.e. 253pp. p.174 omitted in printing. Folio. Early 20th-century pebbled morocco spine gilt. Light wear to boards and extremities. Titlepage with closed tear to lower right corner no text affected leaf A2 with two closed tears to right edge no loss of text. Titlepage first three leaves and final eight leaves likely supplied from another copy with rough trimming at the lower edges. Light worming to about seven leaves no text affected light tanning and occasional foxing throughout. Very good. 688151-173175-245 i.e. 253pp. p.174 omitted in printing. Folio. A major early New York imprint from the press of William Bradford the "pioneering printer of the English middle colonies" DAB and first printer of New York. Bradford 1663-1752 originally settled in Pennsylvania where he began operating a printing press in 1685 and a bookstore in 1688. Controversies within the Quaker community with Bradford supporting the dissident George Keith led to the temporary seizure of his types and paper in 1692 and in 1693 he moved to New York. The present documents are among the earliest official New York imprints.<br /> <br /> This present collection of THE LAWS. is the third collection of New York laws after those of 1694 and 1710 and covers legislation passed from 1691 to 1713. Laws herein include acts "for quieting and settling the Disorders that have lately happened within this Province" 1691 "for restraining and punishing Privateers and Pyrates" 1693 and 1698 and "against Jesuites and Popish Priests" 1700 as well as numerous acts "for Regulating Slaves" and one for "Baptizing them" 1706. The index reflects the odd pagination in the volume which skips from page 88 to page 155. This is due in part to the fact that they are a composite of Bradford's various separately issued official publications of New York laws. The two leaves following the titlepage are an index the present copy being comprised of individually printed pages pasted together to form one double-sided leaf. EVANS 1636 1637 1638.

1729100453Queens New York. Collection of Manuscripts documents relating to land purchases in Queens New York by John Morrell. New York: 1729 1741 1762 & 1796. Four large folio sheets one small folio sheets and two sheets with diagrams illustrating land purchases docketed. Aging and browning to group a little foxing or staining remnants of wax seals cloth tape repairs and one small archival tape repair along back of folds on some sheets a few chips and tears some folds in the margins. Overall about very good. Interesting group of documents that relate to land purchases by John Morrell who appears to be a blacksmith in 18th century Queens. The first document is dated 1729 and this appears to indicate he inherits a small plot of land from his father in Newtown which was in Queens County. Although it is not totally clear Morell may have been adopted by a Samuel Albertus . Newtown was originally founded by the Dutch in 1652 and called Middleburgh but became Newtown when the British took control of all the Dutch holdings in New York. In 1896 Newtown became Elmhurst. While these documents cover close to 70 years they suggest that Morell continued to make land purchases between 1729 and 1796 in Newtown. Most of these purchases were relatively modest but in 1762 he did buy some land for 359 pounds from a Samuel Moore. hardcover

170928950New York: William Bradford 1709. Folio. 11 1/4 x 6 1/2 inches. 40pp. Expertly bound to style in half calf over period marbled paper covered boards spine with raised bands in six compartments ruled in gilt on either side of each band red morocco lettering piece in the second compartment<br/> <br/>The votes of the New York Assembly 1709.<br/> <br/>A very rare and interesting imprint containing New York colonial acts passed between April 7 to November 12. It was printed by William Bradford New York City's first public printer. Bradford 1663-1752 originally settled in Pennsylvania where he began operating a printing press in 1685 and a bookstore in 1688. Controversies within the Quaker community with Bradford supporting the dissident George Keith led to the temporary seizure of his types and paper in 1692 and in 1693 he moved to New York. The present documents are among the earliest of official New York imprints. The present Journal includes the address to Governor Lovelace as well as a note of his death after less than a year in office one day after the Assembly granted him £1600. Page 39 final paragraph contains instructions to Bradford to print the laws of the Colony "since the arrival of Coll. Slaughter" i.e. Henry Slaughter governor in 1691 who died that same year together with details on its distribution. This is a very rare work; ESTC records four copies one of which is defective though Evans and Rosenbach note a fifth copy at the New York Public Library. Rosenbach offered a copy for $385 in 1938 and a copy possibly the present sold at Anderson Galleries in 1913 for $485.<br/> <br/>ESTC W11517; Evans 1424. William Bradford unknown books

Occasional light tanning light wear two lightened spots on title page not affecting any type. Very Good. <br /> <br /> Peter Van Schaack the editor signs the Preface in type. This comprehensive compilation commences with the First Assembly in 1691. It ends with the Sessions of the Twenty-Ninth Assembly in 1773 which enacted a law that made defacing statues of the King a crime. The Acts encompass the broad spectrum of the requirements of a developing society including a number of laws regulating the behavior of slaves and the institution of slavery. <br /> Evans 13467.
