1853218388Japan. Circa1853. Two black and white woodblock kawarabans 18 x 24cm some light staining at margins but overall very good. A black-and-white kawaraban popular broadsheet woodblock print showing Commodore Matthew Perry's flagship the Mississippi at the time of his visit to Japan in 1853. The text accompanying the carefully depicted ship gives the dimensions of the vessel and other details including the number of crew. It then goes on to give an interesting summary of world geography explaining to readers that the world has four great oceans and six continents and that Japan is situated in the east of Asia. They are also told that America lies 5000 ri about 10500 miles to the east of Japan and that its capital is Washington. On the second sheet with an illustration of a steam ship it gives the sizes of the boat and its crew. It also refers to the speed and the distance a steam ship is able to cover and amazes with the vast distance the ship can travel. <br> <br>The kawaraban is a vivid illustration of the astonishment with which Japanese people responded to the coming of Perry and his "Black Ships" and of the curiosity about the outside world which this event generated. The Mississippi was particularly impressive because it was a steam-powered paddle ship. In this image we see not only the ship and its rigging and paddle-wheel but also the small figures of crew members including one starting to climb the mast and another apparently sounding the depth of the water. . unknown

1898WRCAM52771Omaha 1898. Broadside approximately 10 1/2 x 7 3/4 inches. Previously folded some separations along old fold lines. Tanned corners slightly chipped. Good. A curious survival from the 1898 Trans- Mississippi Exposition held in Omaha promoting the sale of Mongolian jade carvings at a booth in the International Hall of the fair. The advertisement emphasizes the obscurity of the region of origin "the Chinese population could not understand their Mongolian brothers except through writing" and the convoluted journey of the artwork to America "carried in wicker baskets suspended on a pole resting on the shoulders of two men". "Were it not for the fact that the workers receive but a small daily wage hundreds of dollars would be represented in many of the pieces; as it is it is possible to dispose of them at moderate prices. An opportunity is thus offered to lovers of the curious and the beautiful to secure something entirely new in the art world something too of great artistic merit." unknown books

1860182fdNew York: Negro Universities Press 1968. Reprint of the 1860 edition. Octavo brown cloth hardcover gilt letters 526 pp. Fine. From Preface: As most of the Letters embraced in this volume were written for the Editor of the late American Courier and appeared therein from time to time the writer therof has not seen fit to alter the local allusions the style of address in the Letters or the appellation of Needles by which they were originally designated. As these Letters were commenced and many of them published before Mrs. Stowe’s Uncle Tom was written its pictures of South-western life have no reference to that work nor were influenced by it. These epistles are not replies to any attacks on the South but a simple representation of Southern life as viewed by an intelligent Northerner whose opinions are frankly and fearlessly given. The object of this work is to do justice to the Southern planter and at the same time afford information in an agreeable form to the Northerner; and if these objects are obtained in any degree the writer inc consenting to its publication as a volume will be fully rewarded. One important fact ought not to be overlooked which is that ninety-nine out of every hundred of the governesses tutors professional men and others who flock to the South ten thousand a year for the improvement of their fortunes remain the young ladies if they can obtain Southern husbands and identify themselves fully with the Southern Institutions.

From Find A grave dot com taken from the Biography of Eminent Men of the Carolinas: <br /> <br /> Samuel Wickiff how it is spelled in the obit Melton was born in Yorkville S. C. February 7 183 hard to read. Receiving his early education in Yorkville he graduated from the South Carolina college in the class of 1852. He edited the Chester Standard published in Chester in 1852 and 1854. Then he returned to Yorkville and established the Yorkville Examiner on January 1 1855 running it until 1858 when he sold out to Lewis M. Grist. In the meantime in 1857 he was admitted to the bar and commenced the practice of law with his brother C. D. Melton at Chester continuing until the war broke out. He enlisted in the Confederate army in 1861 on the staff of Gen. M L. Bonham as aid-de-camp accompanying him to Virginia remaining with him until after the first battle of Bull Run. Subsequently he went on the staff of Maj. Gen. Gustavius W. Smith commanding the Second corps he having the rank of major. He remained with Gen. Smith until February 1863 and was then assigned to duty in the office of the adjutant and inspector general of the Confederate army at Richmond where he remained until the close of the war. He was in the first battle of Bull Run in the Peninsular campaign in the battles around Richmond at Seven Pines the campaign in 1863 in North Carolina and temporarily on the staff of Gen. Beauregard at the battle of Drury's Bluff. The chief duties however from early in 1862 to the close of the war were in the adjutant general's office in Richmond. Evans and Cogswell unknown
18654629Natchez Ms: July 22 1865. Very good. Broadside 13.75 x 9.5 inches. Printed in three columns. Moderate toning and foxing old folds couple of small tears expertly repaired on verso two tape remnants at top edge likely from previous matting. A very rare newspaper extra printing the first civilian law in Occupied Mississippi following the conclusion of the Civil War. After the war only military justice was in force in Mississippi. According to an 1866 Mississippi court case: "civil government of the State having been subverted and all power having passed into the hands of the authorities of the United States the question whether any and what civil government should be permitted was a matter in the discretion of those authorities. During this military occupation the laws of the State could only operate so far as they chose to allow and could only be administered by such agents as they pleased to appoint." On June 13 1865 President Andrew Johnson appointed William Lewis Sharkey 1789-1873 -- a Mississippi judge and staunch Unionist who opposed secession -- as the state's provisional governor. His first public act was to appoint judges and clerks to probate courts as well as appoint police justices of the peace and other country officers and authorized them to immediately begin to discharge their duties but excluded any orders regarding circuit and chancery courts.<br /> <br /> Two days later on July 3 Sharkey ordered the first civilian law to be operative which is published in the present broadside newspaper extra by the Natchez Courier. Sharkey's transmittal at the top begins: "Ordered. That the act in regard to the action of replevin and the amendments thereto passed by the legislature of Mississippi since the 9th day of January 1861 be and the same is hereby declared to be in full force from this date." The text of the act in twenty-six sections is then printed beginning: "The Replevin Act. An Act to provide for the speedy recovery of personal property wrongfully taken or detained." Somewhat oddly at the time this was the only civilian law in effect in Mississippi in the summer of 1865. According to the same 1866 court case excerpted above which explains the issues inherent in the issuance of the Replevin Law and Sharkey's organization of county probate courts "in all cases of the wrongful taking or detention of personal property a summary remedy by action of replevin before two justices of the peace was given to the party injured to recover the property and damages for the wrongful taking or detention. This was the only court created by the governor for the adjudication of legal rights; and these are the only cases committed to its jurisdiction; leaving all the rest of the immense mass of legal rights wholly without any redress." OCLC and other newspaper sources reveal just a single mutilated copy of the present broadside at the American Antiquarian Society.

Brown was nominated by the People's Party Mississippi's brief experiment with Populism. He lost overwhelmingly to Stone.
