This magnificently bound five volume catalogue is to a large extent tantamount to a bibliography of French naval and colonial history describing 17108 works printed up to 1842 plus approximately 3000 later acquisitions short-title listed in the index only. It was compiled under the supervision of Louis Marie Bajot 1775-d. "after 1854" Inspector General of the library of the ministry of the French navy in collaboration with Angliviel in charge of the ministry's library of maps and charts. The compilation of the catalogue required remarkable cooperation of numerous librarians in Paris the ports and far-flung places such as Pondicherry and Guadeloupe. The catalogue in fact lists the contents of no less than eleven libraries belonging to the Ministère de la Marine: its main library and the Dépot général des Cartes et Plans in Paris; the libraries of the naval bases at Cherbourg Brest Lorient Rochefort and Toulon; and the naval hospitals of these ports except for Lorient. It also gives a list of six colonial naval libraries. In all cases the names of the librarians in charge and their salaries are given interestingly Bajot's was 7000 frs while Angliviel's was more than double at 18000 frs per year. This information is repeated in the preliminary matters of each volume. The catalogue itself preferably describes the copies of the two Paris libraries otherwise those in one of the other nine libraries; three columns indicate the symbols and shelf numbers of the eleven libraries in three columns headed "Ports" "Hôspitaux" and "Paris." During the Restoration and especially under Louis-Philippe the binding atelier of the Imprimerie Royale under the direction of a certain Courtois bound the official publications of the Imprimerie in good calf bindings for the ministries and in richly gilt deluxe morocco for the King and the Crown Prince the Duc de Nemours second son of Louis-Philippe had succeeded his elder brother on his death in 1842 as Prince Royal. These binding for the Duc de Nemours are particularly successful for the handsome treatment to the wide spines. The Duc de Nemours who was himself an important book collector was greatly interested in the Navy and especially the colonies having participated in the conquest of Algeria. His library was dispersed many years after his death in 1931-32. Preserved in five lined red cloth boxes morocco labels on backs. ❧ Gustave Brunet Dictionnaire de Bibliologie Catholique cols. 643-44-"Le ministère de la Marine a fait en bibliographie un fort bon travail très-digne de servir de modèle.Le catalogue de la marine se recommande par les notes qui accompagnent les titres d'un grand nombre d'ouvrages indiquant exactement le contenu des livres enregistrés.Ces renseignements sont d'une grande utilité pour les travailleurs.

1837256446Washington D.C. 1837. 1-1/2 pages pen and ink on paper. Folio. Old folds else fine. 1-1/2 pages pen and ink on paper. Folio. A PROPOSAL TO FUND NAVY PENSIONS. A chronicle of the short-lived Bank of the United States and its continued involvement in US Navy pensions. <br/><br/>After the demise of the Second Bank of the United States in 1836 a result of the historical "Bank War" between US President Andrew Jackson and Bank President Nicholas Biddle Biddle attempted to resuscitate the institution as a commercial bank chartered by the State of Pennsylvania. The former bank's stock holders except the US government voted to transfer the old bank's assets and liabilities to the new bank which made it difficult to disentangle the dealings of the defunct bank with the newly state-chartered bank. This letter from Secretary of the Navy Mahlon Dickerson discusses arrangements for The Bank of the United States to fund Navy Pensions and is an example of it's continued involvement with the US Government after the Second Bank of the United States charter had expired. Reading in part: <br/><br/>"I have received your letter of the 19th inst. and agree to the arrangement you propose that for the funds you may place at the disposal of this department for the payment of Navy Pensions credit shall be given on the Bond from the Bank of the United States chartered by the Legislature of Pennsylvania to the United States."<br/><br/>Written at the onset of the Panic of 1837 Biddle would fail to replicate the success he experienced as President of the Second Bank of the United States and resigned as President in 1839. The Bank of the Unites States failed in 1841. Biddle faced financial ruin and was arrested for fraud but was acquitted before his death in 1844. <br/><br/>Born in Hanover Township New Jersey Mahlon Dickerson 1770-1853 was a cavalry veteran of the Whiskey Rebellion who would go on to be elected Governor of New Jersey serve as US Senator receive two appointments as Secretary of the Navy and be confirmed as a judge for the United States District Court of New Jersey. unknown books

She was going down the river at the rate of 30 miles an hour. There was a torpedo projecting from her bow. . . .
