1884013679Albany New York: Joel Munsell's Sons: 1884. By Lieut. James M. Hadden also Orders kept by him and issued by Sir Carleton Lieut. General John Burgoyne and Major General William Phillips in 1776 1777 and 1778. With an explanatory chapter and notes by Horatio Rogers Brevett Brigadier General U.S. V. and formerly Colonel Second Rhode Island Infantry: Member of the American Antiquarian Society and author of Private Libraries Of Providence. 581 pages with 9 illustrations and Errata slip tipped in. "A knowledge of the British no less than of the American participants in Burgoyne's campaign being necessary to the proper understanding of that great event has led me to investigate the personnel of Burgoyne's army and to annotate the text far more fully than had at first been intended. No reference in the notes has been made to characters like Stark Schuyler Heath Warner Morgan Lord Stirling etc. as they are presumed to be familiar to the American reader; and though Dr. O'Callaghan in Burgoyne's Orderly Book has sketched with more or less fullness. So little is known of Burgoyne's Canadian and Provincial officers and especially of the elder of Burgoyne's Indians that no pains have been spared to glean all possible information in regard to them." "In August 1875 the editor purchased two morocco book formed cases which had just arrived from London. Two books were a manuscript journal kept by Lieut. James M. Hadden for the Royal Artillery from his embarkation for Canada March 4 1776 to the close of the battle of Freeman's Farm Sept. 19 1777 Lieut. Hadden having served under Gen. Carleton in Canada in 1776 and participated in Burgoyne's campaign the following year. The other six memorandum books were filled with copies of orders issued during 1776 1777 and early part of 1778." This book internally is in fine condition. The original red cloth covers are in very good condition with some wear at the corners and spine edges. Also the red cloth has faded slightly along the spine. The paper label on the spine is worn but the lettering is bright. Hard Cover. Very Good/Not Issued with a Dust Jacket. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. Joel Munsell's Sons: Hardcover
019671No Place: No publisher. Unbound. Good. Collection of 15 invitations to US State dinners wedding invitations and other similar events. All various sizes and pagination. Some include dinner menus seating information. All from the same private collection from an executive of a very large international insurance firm name of owner and firm withheld for privacy. The previous owner saved these items for an apparent planned scrapbook mounting most on paper with either glue or staples. The owner was a highly placed executive in an insurance company and travelled throughout the world extensively. They were active in politics through donations and fundraising and it appears their family was friendly with the Roosevelts especially Eleanor Roosevelt. The previous owner's work for the insurance company led them to meet with various heads of state worldwide including US government officials. Some of the people associated with this firm were also involved in World War II activities including financing the Flying Tigers in China as well as work for the OSS using knowledge gained from insurance work. While we have not found any direct connection to intelligence work by this owner their ties to those who did are strong. NB: we are starting the process of cataloguing four boxes of material from this individual both personal and business correspondence. More information on the collection available on request. Included in this lot: invitation to a 1966 dinner in honor of Takeo Fukuda Japanese Minister of Finance; invitation to a 1966 dinner in honor of Ferdinand Marcos President of the Philippines; invitation to a 1966 dinner in honor of Makato Usami Governor of the Bank of Japan; Several items relating to a 1967 state dinner with the Chancellor of the Federal Republic of Germany including the invitation from President Johnson; a wedding announcement and invitation to the reception of the marriage of Hope Aldrich daughter of John D.

016607No Place: No Publisher. Unbound. Good. No place or date presumed Dover New Hampshire circa 1869. Blue lined letter paper measuring approximately 10 by 8 inches. Blindstamp reading "Learned" within an emblem of some sort at the top left of each page. Pages attached along the left edge originating as single sheets folded into pages. 8 pages with 3 ¼ pages written on. "Libel for Divorce S.J. Hall vs D Hall" written on the reverse of one page. PLEASE NOTE: the truth to this letter and its contents has not at this time been verified. Research in local records and other sources has not turned up a record of a marriage between a Sarah J. Christie and Daniel Hall. A Daniel Hall did live in Dover New Hampshire during this period. He was a lawyer and served as an aide to President Lincoln. He may have spent time learning law in Dover under Daniel M. Christie who did have a daughter named Sarah J. Christie. Records do indicate a later marriage for her. It is possible that this is perhaps some sort of spoof or satire letter written for entertainment or other reasons unknown. Names of other residents of the area are included in the letter. A handwritten petition submitted to the Court of Chancery in Dover New Hampshire apparently written and signed by Sarah J. Hall maiden name Christie seeking a divorce from her husband Daniel Hall. The letter gives the date of marriage the location of the marriage ceremony and the justice of the peace who presided and asserts the author "has faithfully performed her duties devolving upon her as a faithful affectionate and loving woman." Ms. Hall then proceeds to state that Daniel has "wantonly cruelly and without any provocation whatever wholly abandoned and deserted her the said Sarah and left her destitute." Continuing the letter asserts that "Daniel wholly regardless of his duty as a husband . has at divers varied and sundry times and in immeasurable places and in promiscuous assemblies frequented the company of and consorted with divers strange and fascinating women." He is accused of writing letters filled with "protestations of love and undying attachment" and had passed himself off as being single. A particular incident is noted perhaps 1869 or 1859 date somewhat illegible at the house of a "notorious and public" character in Dover in which Daniel "lay his head in the lap of a certain abandoned woman." It seems Daniel also possessed a head of curly hair to the delight of his wife but that he cut off locks of said hair to give to various "beautiful and fascinating women." Secret small town scandal or satire GOOD condition. Horizontal fold creases present. Some splitting to the paper along the hinge. Some toning fading very minor spotting and soiling to the letter.

1868020102New York: Susan B. Anthony Proprietor; R.J. Johnson Publisher 1868. Wraps. Good. Side sewn journal. Approximately 12 ¼ by 9 inches. 16 pp. Single issue of the Revolution a groundbreaking and influential newspaper produced by Elizabeth Cady Stanton Susan B. Anthony and Parker Pillsbury. The paper was established to provide a voice to activists and suffragists such as Stanton and Anthony whose voices were marginalized by the mainstream press as well as many abolitionist publications with whom they had been previously allied. Anthony and Stanton advocated for an amendment giving suffrage to women along with the amendment sponsored by abolitionists that would give Black men the right to vote. Many abolitionists actively discouraged Stanton and Anthony from pursuing their amendment until the amendment enfranchising Black men passed creating a rift in the abolitionist movement as well as the women's suffrage movement. Feeling betrayed by abolitionists and Republicans who initially supported them they established the Revolution with financial help from George Francis Train a Democrat who supported women's rights but was openly racist. As the name indicates The Revolution adopted a combative radical tone with Stanton and others unafraid to take on critics. The paper openly discussed sexual and physical abuse in marriage and advocated better divorce laws that would offer women a way to escape abusive marriages. In 1869 the paper broke with Train who had supplied very little of the funding he initially offered. It published until 1872 struggling to make expenses along the way.
