1898List2965United States and Caribbean 1898. Approximately twenty-nine pieces: logbook of eighty-four double-sided pages measuring 13 x 20 inches; eight letters seventeen documents and forms and three pieces of miscellany. Much wear and significant damage to logbook including water damage mildew and tearing; log book overall fair to good minus. Other materials good to very good. Overall good. William Higgins 1791–1872 was a farmer sea captain and owner of and investor in ships from Bowdoinham Maine. According to the Maine Maritime Museum which holds his family papers Higgins’ ships traded mainly in lumber which they took from Wilmington North Carolina to the Caribbean.<br /> <br /> Offered here is a logbook recording the travels of several of Higgins’ ships particularly the brigs Mary Jane and Llewellyn alongside related documents and personal letters. The logbook dating between 1832 and 1836 extensively documents the course wind data and weather remarks for travels of the ships between east coast US port cities and various locations in the Caribbean including Barbados St. Thomas and Martinique. The logbook also contains a copy of astronomer and mathematician Elijah Burritt’s illustration “A Plan of the Solar System Exhibiting its Relative Magnitudes and Distances†engraved by W. G Evans and printed in 1835 by F.J. Huntington.<br /> <br /> The letters and documents date from 1830 to 1867 and are also mostly business-related including an insurance document for the brig William Parrington a roll of sailors enlisted to work on a six-month journey between the Caribbean and the US in 1845 a bill of sale for ¼ stake in the brig Mary Jane and receipts and logs for items including various liquors sugar molasses casks and so on. One letter from a young man in Wilmington requests advice on how to start his own business in the style of Higgins’; other letters concern family matters. One interesting undated document is a writ addressed to the Marshal of the District of Maine concerning a lawsuit filed against Higgins and Rufus Carr master of the William Parrington by Zachrisson Nelson Co. The suit alleged that Carr acting as an agent for the ship’s owners that is Higgins had agreed to an affreightment involving shipping from Jamaica to Spain to New York but had then “wholly neglected and refused to do soâ€.<br /> <br /> Of interest to scholars of maritime history and trade in the mid-19th century. unknown
1845List2966Kennebunk Maine 1845. Two 7 ½ x 9 ¾ inch pages. Near fine. A letter from Barnabas Palmer in Kennebunk to Charles G. Bellamy Esquire in Kittery. Bellamy 1811–1892/1899 was a captain in the Maine militia a member of the Maine House of Representatives 1842–3 and State Senate 1846–7 York County Sheriff and then Inspector of Timber at the Navy Yard in Portsmouth.1 Palmer 1791–1867 may have been military; he appears in Maine state records as an agent for the Kennebunk Gun House which is listed in other records as under the purview of the Quartermaster General.<br /> <br /> Palmer gives Bellamy his opinion on the political prospects of “Pierce†versus “Hammond†commenting:<br /> <br /> “I did not hear of any legislative recommendation of Hammond while I was at Augusta and if there was and their late abolition speeches & Texan resolutions is a specimen of the support they intend to give Mr Polk it should not have much effect.â€<br /> <br /> The US under President Polk had not yet annexed Texas and Palmer is apparently underwhelmed by Maine’s support for the cause. He also remarks on Joshua Herrick’s 1793–1874 bid for re-nomination to Congress; though he feels that he had “been badly treated†by Herrick’s competition “Judge Hayes†Palmer nonetheless feels compelled to vote for Hayes over Herrick. Of interests to historians of Maine state politics.<br /> <br /> 1 John E. Frost Colonial Village Gundalow Club: 1948 28. unknown

17763748<b>Striking Casco Bay Chart from the Atlantic Neptune 1776</b><br /><br />This is an exceptional chart of the coast of Maine between Cape Elizabeth and Popham from the early Revolutionary War period. It is from Des Barres' monumental <i>Atlantic Neptune</i> a sea atlas published by the British Admiralty during the last quarter of the 18th century. The <i>Atlantic Neptune</i> has been called "the most splendid collection of charts plans and views ever published." <br /><br />The present chart includes all of Casco Bay naming the larger islands and extends east to include Seguin "Segevin Island" and Georgetown Islands. Among the numerous geographic features named are Great Jebieg Chebeague Merrymeeting Bay Segadahock River Arrowsick Island and Halfway Road i.e. Rock. Roads are shown on the chart as are individual buildings. <br /><br />The chart is dated July___ 1776 i.e. with a prominent space after the month as if a date were going to be inserted. There is no type-stamped "15" at the upper right as called for in some copies of state "b" of the Stevens Catalogue. <br /><br />The chart was folded into four vertical panels about 30 1/4 x 12" to accommodate being "bound up in tall narrow form" Stevens' Catalogue p. vii. The chart paper has the LVG watermark consistent with the earlier issues of the chart. <br />A scarce early state of a desirable chart. <br /><br /><b>References:</b> Stevens <i>Catalogue of the Atlantic Neptune</i>: 105 State: b.

18883832<p>This attractively executed map/plan is for a proposed development by the Maine Central Railroad conveniently located "near terminus of the Mt. Desert Branch" of the railroad. The plan was "laid out by Joseph H. Curtis landscape engineer from surveys by J.G. Kelley." The completion of the Mt. Desert Branch in 1884 made possible an all-rail journey from Portland and points south to the Mt. Desert area. The proposed development apparently did not occur since a note on OCLC states: "Later maps show no evidence of the planned roads or lots."</p><p>Scarce with OCLC locating examples at the University of Maine at Orono Yale and Columbia.

Dated in type at the end: Portland Oct. 25th 1832."<br /> <br /> The text of this rare broadside urging the defeat of President Jackson in the upcoming presidential election is printed in three columns. It is followed by six columns consisting of hundreds of printed names of Portland citizens endorsing its sentiments. <br /> Despite his promises to the contrary Jackson has expanded the power of the presidency reneged on his promise to serve only one term and enthusiastically practiced the Spoils System. "The expenses of his administration have largely exceeded those of any of his six predecessors." He has claimed the power of "interpreting for himself" the Constitution although contradicted by "the Supreme Judiciary." <br /> AI 10824 1- Harvard.
