DOCTOR MAINE'S LIST FOR 1850. MADE AGREEABLY TO THE REQUIREMENT OF THE NEW LAW FOR THE ASSESSMENT AND COLLECTION OF TAXES

185925184Rockville CT: Press of the Tolland County Republican 1859. 8pp untrimmed. Folded fold splitting pinned. Tanned with some spotting. Good. The author writes humorous poetry to express his distress at new and excessive tax laws. A complete list of taxable property would take "Methuselah's hours.Although I have little that now commands cash; I've plenty in 'ruins' all broken to smash; A fine dish of 'all-sorts' to publish in form; Would make out a list thrice as long as my arm. So I must abbreviate and name them in groups; then let our great ASSES-ors examine to boot." OCLC 15328280 9. Press of the Tolland County Republican unknown books

185229962np: F. Ferguson Printer 1852. Broadside 5" x 13". Light spotting and wear two short closed margin tears. Good. This pro-Temperance broadside rebuts the canard that the Sons of Temperance are the prime force behind enactment of the Maine Liquor Law. "Men of all denominations and parties are firm supporters of this law; look everywhere and you find it depends not alone upon the Sons of Temperance." The broadside also denies "that this law makes the man who buys liquor a criminal. An absolute falsehood-- not one word of truth in it." Opponents of the law are "lying." Indeed "DROWNING MEN CATCH AT STRAWS. BUT THE HAND-WRITING IS UPON THE WALL. A Prohibitory Liquor Law must and will be enacted." Not located on OCLC or the AAS web site or in Williamson or Sabin. F.

Contemporary black morocco upper cover lettered in gilt marbled endpapers gilt edges. Provenance: Edward C. Burleigh name in gilt on upper cover The first atlas devoted to Hancock County Maine. In 1881 cartographer/surveyor George N. Colby assisted by J.H. Stuart and others published the first atlas of Hancock County towns villages plantations and timber lots. The maps identify many property owners by name and show the locations of homesteads businesses roads schools churches mills and cemeteries in those plantations towns and villages. Including all the insets 87 maps were produced by Colby Halfpenny and Stuart drawn on stone by William Bracher and printed by F. Bourquin of Philadelphia. The detailed town plans include Mount Desert Island Bar Harbor Ellsworth Bluehill Southwest Harbor and numerous others. As with most 19th century county atlases the work was published strictly by subscription. Given the relatively small size of the county in terms of population the atlas would not have been published in a large print run resulting in its rarity today. "Despite their limitations and inaccuracies nineteenth-century county atlases nonetheless preserve a detailed cartographical biographical and pictorial record of a large segment of rural America in the Victorian age" Ristow American Maps and Mapmakers p. 424.
