ROBBERY OF THE BANK OF PENNSYLVANIA IN 1798. THE TRIAL IN THE SUPREME COURT OF THE STATE OF PENNSYLVANIA

1808WRCAM53061Philadelphia 1808. 2ii184pp. 20th-century tan buckram gilt morocco labels. Remnants of shelf mark on spine. Binding broken after titlepage institutional ink and blind stamp on titlepage. Minor foxing. Good. An important case relating to the robbery of the Bank of Pennsylvania in 1798. Robbers entered the bank in early September 1798 during one of the periodic outbreaks of Yellow Fever in Philadelphia. Because no evidence of forcible entry was detected suspicion immediately fell on blacksmith Patrick Lyon a British mechanic who had fashioned various iron fittings for the bank building including the locks. He claimed to have been out of town with his son to avoid the fever when the robbery took place but he was nonetheless arrested and imprisoned. The case was a city sensation and the press took up Lyon's cause which eventually led to his being freed. This work reports the trial of the president of the bank a cashier one of the bank directors who was also an alderman of Philadelphia and a high constable who were all sued for damages by Lyon on the charge of false imprisonment. The officers of the bank were sentenced to pay Patrick Lyon $12000 for false and malicious prosecution without reasonable cause. Described as "Very Scarce" in the Brinley catalog.

Arctic Biblio 10530 Hill 1055 Howgego II L52. George Francis Lyon 1795-1832 was a British naval officer and explorer of the Arctic and Africa. He served in the Mediterranean during the Napoleon wars and later assigned to an expedition in North Africa with Joseph Ritchie to explore the Niger river area. He was selected by William Edward Parry to command the Hecla in 1821-1823 for an expedition to the Northern coast of Hudson Bay to find the Northwest Passage. He wrote about this journey in "The Private Journal of Captain G. F. Lyon". He was one of the "Barrow Boys" Captains that were favored by Sir John Barrow 1764-1848 Secretary to the Admialty to command Arctic exploration.From Howgego II " In 1824 the Admiralty sent Lyon back to the Arctic in command of the Griper . to penetrate the Hecla and Fury Strait to the north of the Melville Peninsula and to attempt to proceed along the continental coast to connect with the navigable sea reported by John Franklin to the east of the Coppermine River." This was only one of the four expeditions sent to the Arctic in the same year to search of the Northwest Passage. A major effort that failed to find the ice free passage but gained significant experience and information on the Arctic. During the voyage Lyon experienced heavy ice and foul weather that caused damage to the ship and forced him to retreat. John Barrow was upset that Lyon did not achieve his mission to connect with Franklin and was never offered another command by the Admiralty again. This book is Lyon's account of the 1824 voyage and reasons why the voyage was not successful.William Edward Parry Hooper 1829-1926 appears to have been named after the famous Arctic explorer and became a clerk in the Admiralty. The bookplate motto of "in memoria retinere" means to "keep in mind"Steve Fossett 1944-2007 was a successful commodities trader and an adventurer that set world records in balloons sailboats gliders and unique powered aircraft. In the 1980's Fossett began developing a library collection of over 2000 books on adventure and exploration. His collection included significant and authoritative accounts of aeronautics polar Asia Australasia circumnavigation's mountaineering and others. In 2007 Fossett disappeared on a solo flight in a light aircraft over the eastern Sierra Mountains along the California and Nevada border. After an extensive search the wreckage was found by hikers a year later along the rugged Mt. Ritter range in the Ansel Adams Wilderness in Madera County about 10 miles east of Yosemite National Park.

The rare first issue with integral title leaf bearing the "Metropolitan Syndicate" imprint and bound in non-pictorial green cloth. SARDONICS is the first of Lyon's two books both collecting some of his short fiction. Lyon's untimely death at age 33 cut short a promising literary career. His fiction was of high caliber and has been favorably compared with that of Stephen Crane and Ambrose Bierce. "The 31 tales and sketches in SARDONICS and GRAPHICS can be properly compared with the work of Crane and Bierce for vivid highly characterized and purposeful narrative. 'The Second Motive' in SARDONICS and 'Revenge' in GRAPHICS are psychological murder tragedies at the two extremes of the social scale. Lyon like Crane and Norris died before his talents had fully matured and unfortunately when his work had only begun to appear in McCLURE'S MAGAZINE and to attract special attention." - Bennett A Practical Guide to American Book Collecting p. 204. Most of the stories in SARDONICS are mystery or detective shorts some with fantastic elements. "Into the Fourth Dimension" concerns the fate of the inventor of a device to project people into other dimensions who is poisoned in a Chinese restaurant kills his tormentor and escapes into another dimension with disastrous results.

A brief narrative of an unsuccessful attempt to reach Repulse Bay through Sir Thomas Rowe's "Welcome" in His Majesty's ship Griper in the year MDCCCXXIV.

18255897London: John Murray 1825. First edition. Narrative of search for the Northwest Passage through the Hudson Bay; observations on Southampton Island Eskimos tides and compass variations. George Francis Lyon one of Barrow's favorites had made a name for himself in the exploration of Africa before serving as commander of the HMS Hecla during William Edward Parry's second Arctic voyage. Thereafter in the spring of 1824 Lyon was given command of the sluggish and cranky HMS Griper with orders to winter in Repulse Bay in northwest Hudson Bay and then cross Melville Peninsula to explore the northern coast of mainland America. Ice conditions were difficult however and he was unable to even reach Repulse Bay and had to return home that same Fall. He was never given another naval command. . 21 cm; xvi 198 2 pages and 7 leaves of copper-engraved plates folding map.

Opus eruditissimum in quinque libros digestum in quibus mire retegit Gnosticorum aliorumque Haereticorum impias ac portentosas opiniones

1571D10980Basel: Eusebius Episcopius & heirs of his brother Nicolaus 1571. Hardcover. Very Good. 8vo 165 x 104mm. 36 621 63 pages including final leaf with printers device of the word EPISCOP. Episcopus separated by stork surmounting bishops crozier on verso. Edited by Desiderius Erasmus; revised by Johann Jacob Grynaeus. Contemporary calf over wooden boards with blind-stamped arabesque centerpiece on covers brass catches lacking clasps rebacked spine gilt labeled IRENAEI HAERESES 1571; front joint cracked but cords intact; dark stain on opening leaves paper cracks and small holes in title not affecting text some light dampstaining in hinge toward end. 17th-century signature of Robert Baillie to title the famous Covenanter according to pencil note on front endpaper. 19th-century Chiesa Libera stamp on title; and pictorial bookplate of Douglas and Mildred Horton dated 1962 to front pastedown. Reverend Dr. Douglas Horton married Mildred née McAfee in 1945 who was a prominent female captain in the United States Naval Reserve and later the president of Wellesley College. Irenaeus theological treatise written c. 180 attacked contemporary Christian heresies particularly Gnosticism and the system devised by Valentinus c. 100-c. 160. Irenaeus treatise also supported the idea that bishops maintained apostolic ties to the era of Christ and that a bishop was the best guide to understanding scripture. Given the very bishop-centric message of this work perhaps it is not curious at all that the Episcopius press expressed interest in printing it In Latin Episcopus is bishop. It was not until the 16th century that Irenaeus Opus eruditissimum was widely disseminated first published in Latin by Froben of Basel in 1526 and in the original Greek in 1570. Erasmus famously edited this Latin edition which appeared a year after the first Greek. In it he removed two annotations which referred to baptism and purgatory and also corrected a passage concerning the fault of Adam. The text itself is a new translation of the first book with an extensive dedication to the Basel Mayor Bernhard Brand and the founder of the Basel Reformed Orthodoxy Church Johann Jacob Grynaeus. Irenaeus Opus appears in 10 editions before this one published in both Basel 1528 1534 1548 1554 1560 and Paris 1541 1545 1563 1567 1570. This volume once belonged to Robert Baillie 1602-1662 a Glaswegian and Presbyterian minister and writer known for his Letters which faithfully recorded public events and his participation via correspondence. Baillie was a leader in the 17th century movement that rejected the Church of Englands Book of Common Prayer. From a reformative point of view Baillie would have found interest in Irenaeus work which recognized the canonical character of the gospels. For a work against the Gnostics it is said to contain valuable historical information and a great many New Testament quotations which are a witness to the New Testament text long prior to any extant manuscript; it is the first systematic exposition of Christian theology--Sarton I 294.
