Oregon and finally the Washington Territory in 1881 where he homesteaded near Davenport WT assisted in building Fort Spokane and served as County Commissioner from 1886-1892. First edition of this exceedingly scarce Illinois Atlas published just after the great Chicago Fire of 1871 featuring an unrecorded platt map of Pilot Township in Kankakee County Illinois showing all the properties and property owners in 1872. This atlas also features the Railway map of Illinois City Map of Chicago maps of all the Illinois Counties and large map of the United States. Of special interest are the excellent early western maps of Texas; Minnesota Nebraska and the Dakota Territory; Wyoming Montana and Idaho Territories; Nevada and California along with map of Oregon and Washington and Alaska Territories. The Beers and Warners were successful map publishers in Chicago IL from about 1850 to 1886 and often publishing as Warner & Beers the cartographers produced a series of early state and county atlases and regional maps which were considered the most detailed maps produced at the time of the respective regions. As their Township and County maps often detailed individual homes and landowners they provide invaluable reference tools to researchers historians and genealogists.

189056329Yamada Village Japan: n.p. ca. 1890. 4to. 7.5 x 11 in. 354 pp index maps & sections separately paginated. entirely in original manuscript with over 250 plat and section maps many double-page some folding many w/ additions tipped-in or laid-in as supplemental overlays and many w/ additional manuscript annotations most hand-coloured throughout. Original beige limp boards punch-sewn at gutter margin title in manuscript on front cover some scuffing wear occasional internal worming mildly affecting some maps still a VG- exemplar. An extraordinary Meiji-era manuscript real estate plat map atlas for the Yamada Village and environs of the Keta District in present-day northern Hyogo Prefecture. Traditionally ruled over by descendants of the Miwabe-no-Atai clan this real estate atlas volume encompasses hundreds of plat maps tied to outline maps with the plats all numbered and many colour-coded with colour coding to the opening index. The creator of this map atlas appears to have been commissioned by local land agents following the economic expansion after the opening of the Hyogo Harbor in 1867 for foreign trade while quickly became one of the largest trading ports in Japan. The Tajima province is perhaps best known as the birthplace of Kobe Beef or Tajima Wagyu traditionally compact working cattle with a calm nature but which quickly came into high demand as Kobe Beef in the late 1880s as the large foreign trading and tourist community desired beef and the Tajima cattle were especially desired. This also contributed to a rising demand for land in which to raise the Tajima Wagyu cattle and land prices. At the same time the nearby coast also began slowly developing a small tourist trade and coastal resorts. The map sections include No. 5 -- Kitakami no machi; No. 11 -- Sampo no matsu; No. 12 - Shita takimiya; No. 13 - Okawahara; No. 14 - Takimiya; No. 30 - Kita shitaya as well as No. 36 - Kawahara. In April 1896 the Keta District was dissolved and merged into the Kinosaki District along with the Mikumi District and became the Hyogo Prefecture anchored by the city of Kobe. The additional supplemental pieces tipped-in others laid-in and the many add-ons to the folding map with many bearing annotations indicate that this was a meticulously maintained working document for Meiji land agents. We have been unable to locate any similar manuscript or printed real estate atlases for this era and geographical location.

From Library Journal: "Since the 1987 publication of Allan Bloom's The Closing of the American Mind the question of whether that body of works referred to as either the Classics or Great Books should be required reading for college students has divided academia. Journalist and biographer Atlas Delmore Schwartz who covered the debates as waged between traditionalists and multiculturalists for the New York Times here revises an overview of curriculum controversies at major universities that he wrote for Whittle Communications' Larger Agenda series in 1990per BIP .He traveled to Duke Harvard and Chicago to interview professors and examine course catalogues in search of 'our educational mandate.' He contributes a refreshing voice to a discussion dominated by academics evincing a 'spirit of curiosity' where dry polemics are the rule. But he offers little in the way of original thought nor is his argument in favor of the 'canon of Great Books' unified. Denser more closely reasoned new books on the subject include David Bromwich's Politics by Other Means: Higher Education and Group Thinking Forecasts Aug. 10 and Beyond the Culture Wars by Gerald Graff Forecasts Sept. 7."

1871894281871. ATLAS Bridgeman E.C. translated by Mitsukuri Genpo. RENPO SHIRYAKU 2 vols. Tokyo Zodiacal date of Meiji 4 1871. String-bound Japanese-style fukuro-toji. An interesting work by Bridgeman the Chinese missionary originally published in Chinese but here marked for reading as Japanese kanbun. Thus not a translation as we might understand the term but a long standing aid for literate Japanese to understand the original classical Chinese. With a number of bw and some color maps of the USA along with a text describing US history culture economics etc. A bit of cover soiling outside and the scattered signs of insect damage internally but overall a very good copy. Upon comparison to the original Japanese edition of 1861 there is not much to choose between them. unknown
