In-8, broché, sous couverture papier moderne, (2), 92 p. Rare édition originale et unique de cet essai attribué à Pierre-Hyacinthe Duvigneau (1752-1794) par Hervé Leuwers ('L'invention du barreau français, 1660-1830', Paris, EHESS, 2006, p. 257 note 33). Avocat puis procureur au parlement, il fut guillotiné en 1794. Il est également l'auteur de comédies et de cantates, rédacteur des "Annales de la municipalité de Bordeaux et du département de la Gironde" (1790-1791). "Le 8 février, il paraît [cette] brochure où le patriotisme triomphe de tous les sophismes dont les royalistes ont voulu faire usage pour le combattre. L'auteur anonyme défend vigoureusement le Parlement de toutes les inculpations vagues dont on l'a chargé, et finit par désirer que l'on substitue les États provinciaux au régime politique imaginé par la Cour. Il y a de la chaleur, de la raison et de l'ordre dans cet écrit" (Pierre Bernadau, 'Les débuts de la révolution à Bordeaux', p. 10). ("Catalogue des livres composant la Bibliothèque de la ville de Bordeaux", 3203. Conlon, 'Siècle des Lumières', 88:1309). Quelques traces grises. Bon exemplaire, imprimé sur fort papier bleuté.

1808List2316Hartford: Hudson and Goodwin 1808. Letterpress broadside measuring 13 x 7 ¾ inches. Some slight toning near fine overall. Fine. A broadside announcing the candidates for the United States House of Representatives a list which includes Noah Webster. Webster received 212 votes in the preliminary election in May enough to get him a spot on the ballot but lost in the general election in a generally difficult time for Federalist politicians. Webster experienced a religious conversion during this period after being a not particularly devout Congregationalist earlier in his life and embraced the church completely perhaps due to the death of his infant son in 1806. Webster would run again for U.S. Representative in 1810 1812 and 1816 losing each time and eventually abandoned politics his last office held being in the Connecticut House of Representatives ending in 1807 shortly before his first campaign for national office. We find no record of this broadside in OCLC or other ephemera relating to Webster’s political career in Connecticut in the trade. The collected acts from this session were published in octavo format but we find no other record of this broadside printing. Hudson and Goodwin unknown

Quarto 4 pp. woodblock ornament and drop title; fine and uncut preserved in modern marbled wrappers. <p><p>The National Assembly decree calling for the publication of all accounts and charts of the La Pérouse expedition. In this second of two La Pérouse decrees of 1791 the government commits to the publication of the maps and narrative for the official account of the voyage. The publication would be six years in the making first appearing in 1797 as Voyage de la Pérouse autour du Monde and would come to be regarded as one of the greatest narratives of maritime exploration ever published. This decree too is printed at the start of the official voyage account. The text of the decree makes special reference to La Pérouse's Australian landing and copious correspondence relayed to France throughout the voyage 'envoyées par M. la Peyrouse de la partie de son voyage jusqu'à Botanibay.'; famously La Pérouse's last report was forwarded by Governor Phillip from Port Jackson.</p> <p>Three different imprints have been recorded for publication of this decree-- Paris and Grenoble versions have been described as well as the present issue from Tours.</p> <p>The Paris issue is held by two Australian libraries State Library of New South Wales and the National Library and it is recorded by several bibliographers Allen's Check List p. 10; McLaren 134; Ferguson 107 and also appears in the exhibition catalogue Centenaire de la mort de Lapérouse Paris 1888; number 48. However the Tours and Grenoble imprints are both scarcer and have escaped notice by the bibliographers mentioned.

37662In-8, broché, 7 p. S.l. [Grenoble?], 1788.
In-8, broché, 7 p. Edition originale et unique. La découverture d'une médaille ancienne (vers 1580) dans un jardin près de Grenoble et l'ensemble des symboles qu'elle comportait, renvoyaient prophétiquement, en cette année d'Assemblée des Notables (1788), à la nécessité d'une étroite union entre Clergé, Noblesse et Tiers état. Sur la médaille, les trois ordres (Clergé - Noblesse - Plèbe / Concorde) sont représentés autour d'une colonne qui, s'ils venaient à se séparer serait renversée. Sur la colonne repose un Dauphin couronné, sous la devise "Hominum Amator": l'Ami des Hommes. Les deux faces de la médaille sont reproduites page 7. Parue sans nom d'auteur, la brochure est sans doute due à Letourneau qui avait consacré à cette médaille un article dans les "Affiches du Dauphiné" du 21 nov. 1788, p. 2. (Conlon, 'Siècle des Lumières', 88:3455 qui identifie l'auteur. 'Répertoire des sources de la numismatique française', 1889, II, n°4025. Maignien, 'Bibliographie du Dauphiné pendant la Rév. Française', n°281). Très rare. Manque à la BnF qui ne possède qu'un fac-similé. Bon exemplaire, non rogné.

180573531805. Original Wrappers. Very Good binding. 12mo. 19 1 blank pp. First edition. As issued stitched in plain wrapper; a few leaves unopened. Light wear to the covers including some silverfishing to the top inner margin of the rear wrapper and diminishing through the next several leaves; light soiling but largely a remarkably copy. Deaccessioned as a library duplicate the only indication being a mid-20th century gift stamp deep in the inner margin of p. 3; contents clean. <br /> <br /> An address criticizing incumbent Pennsylvania governor Thomas McKean and recommending Simon Snyder as governor in the 1805 election. While Snyder lost to McKean in a contentious 1805 contest he would ultimately win in 1808 and serve three terms. The language early in the address is salient: "Principles and not men were the foundations on which American independence was established . Principles and not men have been the objects of contest ever since between the several parties which have arisen under our government; but we are now brought to a point when it is to be determined by the public suffrage whether men setting at defiance the wishes of the people and the principles of representative government shall govern Pennsylvania" p. 3. It is perhaps comforting to realize that some things never change including campaign rhetoric. Shaw & Shoemaker 9119; Sabin 59839. unknown

184631561Raleigh: W. R. Gales Printer to the Legislature 1846. First Edition. Wraps. Fair. Disbound wraps. 20 pages. Title on page 1. No stitching remains of the report. All pages are loose. A few old ink marks. Old ink name "John Baxter" top of the title page. <br /> <br /> A brief search on the internet provided no information on the Charlotte and Camden Railroad. However most likely the name of "Camden" was replaced with "South Carolina" to become the Charlotte South Carolina Railroad Company. Construction began on the rail route from Charlotte to Columbia South Carolina in 1847 the year after this report. The Charlotte South Carolina Railroad began in 1852 and existed until 1869 when it was absorbed by Charlotte Columbia and Augusta Railroad. The line ran from Charlotte North Carolina to Columbia South Carolina and was the first carrier to serve Mecklenburg County North Carolina. The railroad was 110 miles 180 km long and its track gauge was 5 ft 1524 mm. Source: wikipedia. W. R. Gales, Printer to the Legislature unknown
