1710WRCAM39062New York: Printed by William Bradford 1710. 20pp. Folio. Dbd. Light scattered foxing. Very good. A rare early Bradford imprint. This list is expanded from an earlier version of the same year giving Gov. Robert Hunter's comprehensive table of administrative fees for the various offices and courts of New York and New Jersey printed by William Bradford the "pioneering printer of the English middle colonies" and first printer of New York. This early edition of Hunter's ordinance was published at the beginning of his remarkably popular governorship of New York an office he held until 1719. Later editions of the ordinance were published with the LAWS. of New York in 1713 and 1719; the present edition was reprinted separately in 1716 Evans 1848 but signed "Ro. Hunter" at the end instead of "R. Hunter" as it is here. Also in this edition line 9 of the caption title ends "&c." Rare with only eight copies recorded at six institutions in ESTC. EVANS 1482.

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

While the document is mostly printed there are six lines of hand written text describing the location of land involved with this transaction.</p>
