Good. <p>First edition.<p>The MexicanAmerican War Apr 25 1846 Feb 2 1848 known in Mexico as the Intervención estadounidense en México was an armed conflict between the United States and Mexico that followed the 1845 U.S. annexation of Texas which Mexico considered Mexican territory. Morse expounds in favor of the war: "If this war was what you say it is and waged wantonly sinfully by the President from mere personal vanity or a petty ambition for the sake of letting the world know who James K. Polk was - if for an end like this all the seas of blood and millions and millions of its treasure lavished all in violation of the constitution - if you make good this charge then has the President of the United States been guilty not of moral merely but of actual treason and that of the deepest dye; not through ignorance but with malice aforethought. If all this be true then has he damned himself indeed to a depth of infamy where the hand of resurrection can never reach him. If you can persuade the widow and orphans of the murdered Cross the gallant Watson the chivalric Ridgely and all the friends and relatives of the noble Ringgold and the other gallant spirits whose lives have been given as a bloody sacrifice to their country's honor that all this was done to glorify this administration and prove who James K. Polk was then sir is your Chief Magistrate guilty of 'conduct so basely mean in a public character that it is without precedent or pretence; an incendiary war upon society that nothing can excuse or palliate emanating from a refinement of beggarly villany made up between the venomous malignity of a serpent and the spiteful imbecility of an inferior reptile.'"<p>Isaac Edward Morse 1809-1866 was a Democratic politician from Louisiana who served in the House of Representatives from 1844-1851. He served as Louisiana's Attorney General from 1854-1856. President Franklin Pierce appointed him in 1856 to be a special commissioner to New Granada to negotiate safe passage of Americans across the Isthmus of Panama.<p>John Henry Bufford 1810-1870 was a Boston lithographer who often created his portraits after daguerreotypes. Among the artists he employed was Winslow Homer. Washington: Ritchie and Heiss, printers, 1846. paperback

6238HUGO PEDESCLAUX 1751-1834. Pedesclaux served as consul of Spain at Bordeaux from 1796 to 1808. DS. 10 x 12. August 27 1803. Bordeaux. A partially printed document signed Juan Estrada in Spanish; the translation states: DON HUGO DE PDESCLAUX commanding Commissary for His Catholic Majestys Royal armies and the trade of the nation of Spain in the Department of Gironde and its vicinity residing at Bordeaux. Whereas I have deemed it beneficial to the Kings service to grant free and secure passage to Don Antonio Ignacio Silva a resident of Louisiana 32 years of age 5 feet 4 inches in height eyes brown eyebrows the same hair black nose bulbous mouth regular and complexion dark; the said individual arrived in this port with the rank of second officer on the Spanish merchant frigate named La Eugenia and is returning to Spain by leave of his Captain Don Luis Dauquemenil on the chasse-mare El Santo ngel de la Guarde Don Martn de Ybarra master; having as his companion a youth named Jacinto Len a native of New Orleans and arriving on the aforesaid frigate La Eugenia; I therefore pray and beseech the Lords Governors Judges and Peace Officers in the places through which he may travel to impose no obstruction to his journey but rather to afford him whatever favor and assistance he may require to continue. To this end I have granted the present passport signed by my hand and sealed with the Royal seal of this consulate. On the version the following is written in another hand in reply and signed Antonio Argote Villalobos: Having appeared with this passport at this Consulate of Spain in Virginia it is granted him to take passage to Louisiana on the vessel that suits him Norfolk 14 December 1803. This document is a passport for Don Antonio Ignacio Silva to enter the colony of Louisiana on the orders of Don Hugo de Pedesclaux the Spanish consul in French Bordeaux. It was issued during a time of great transition for Louisiana as it had just been purchased from France by the United States in the Louisiana Purchase. In return for fifteen million dollars about eighteen dollars per square mile the United States acquired 530000000 acres from France. Napoleon had hoped to re-establish a French colonial empire in North America as they had in the 18th century. France had only reacquired some of that territory the Louisiana Territory from Spain in 1800 having lost it in the Seven Years War in 1762 and explaining how a Spanish citizen like Silva could have lived there for so long. However France's failure to suppress a revolt in Saint-Domingue now Haiti plus the prospect of European warfare prompted Napoleon to sell off Frances North American possessions. Given that this document makes no mention of American control at either date and given how slow communication was in the early 19th century it is likely that none of the parties to this document knew of the Louisiana Purchase. In fact France would not turn over New Orleans their colonial capital until December 20 1803 after both signatures; and this was only three weeks after Spanish officials had belatedly formally turned over administration of the colony to France! The intertwined early 19th century histories of France and Spain would affect Pedesclaux. When Napoleon put his brother Joseph on the Spanish throne in 1808 Pedesclaux defected and swore loyalty to Joseph. He was not pardoned by Spain for this action until 1833. The document is in very good condition with some minor stains and folds. An English-language translation is included. unknown
192349740New Orleans: Southern Pine Association 1923. 1923. TRADE CATALOG. Scarce early first edition of this nicely illustrated collection of plans. 9" x 12" unfolding to 18" x 12" 24 pp consisting of introductory text followed by 11 plans each accompanied by descriptive text and an illustration of the completed structure. Founded in 1915 the Southern Pine Association was a trade organization that engaged in extensive group marketing as well as in the development of standards and quality controls for the lumber industry. According to the website of the organization's current iteration the Southern Forest Products Association early members "initiated the practice of forest management in the South. These pioneers at first ridiculed for what was perceived as naive efforts slowly led the Southern lumber industry to renewed vigor." This publication aimed at "the amateur who wants to build his own garage" offers considerations for selecting a design layout and location for your garage full details of all necessary supplies and a handy table of automobile sizes apparently for the man who can build a garage but lacks the ability to measure his own car. We find no copies of this edition listed in OCLC where the earliest copy found dates from 1925. Chip missing from lower corner of front wrapper moderate general wear from use including chipping and short tears at edges one leaf detached. Stamped many times with the details of the distributing business the J. C. Dearstine Lumber Co. of Schenectady New York. Good plus copy. Southern Pine Association, [1923]. unknown
