188415810Louisville KY: John P. Morton and Company 1884. First Edition. Cloth. Near fine. From the library of General William T. Sherman the first edition of Reminiscences of Abraham Lincoln and Notes of a Visit to California by his close friend Joshua F. Speed. Octavo 2 67pp 3. Brown cloth title in gilt on spine and front cover. Dark green endpapers. Internally clean solid text block. Archival tissue reinforcement to hinge of title page. Bookplate of "W.T. Sherman General" and his son Philemon T. Sherman on the front endpaper. Howes S-826 Kentucky Coleman 2953 Monaghan 1005 This work by Speed is one of three known copies to enter the public market. Provenance: The Sherman-Fitch Collection Lot 51424-110 Fleischer's Auction 2024. This book was acquired by Philemon after his father's death in 1891 at which point the "W.T. Sherman General" bookplate was added. The second bookplate was added by Sherman's grandson Tecumseh Sherman Fitch 1908-1969 who inherited the collection in 1942. At the outbreak of the Civil War in 1861 Joshua F. Speed a close friend of Lincoln since his days in the Illinois Legislature coordinated Union military activities in Kentucky. This responsibility introduced him to Brig. General William T. Sherman who commanded the Department of the Cumberland in Louisville. Sherman made numerous requests to Washington for supplies for his troops but it took an intervention by Speed and his direct connection to Lincoln to make it happen. Sherman was amazed and said to Speed: "How is it that more attention is paid to the request of you a citizen than to me a general in the army You had better take command here." Speed replied: "The only mistake you made General was in not asking for more." The two men continued to exchange letters as Sherman's military career moved forward. Their correspondence is likely why Sherman desired a copy of this short memoir by Speed. John P. Morton and Company unknown

167621930<p>London: Sold by Tho: Basset in Fleet Street and Richard Chiswell in St. Pauls Church yard 1676. 405 by 515mm. 16 by 20.25 inches. Speed's map of Russia Double-page engraved map with hand-colour. A map of Russia one of the nine new maps added to the 1676 edition of Speed's 'Prospect' the first atlas compiled and published by an Englishman. Unusually this map is not in the carte-à-figure style that characterizes the 'Prospect'. Instead set in the top left-hand corner of the map is a detailed plan of Moscow with points of particular interest such as 'The Emperours Palace' and 'The Horse market' labelled. On the right-hand side is an elaborate cartouche containing views including 'Archangel' Arkhangelsk and 'A Hott House'. Accompanying text in English 'The Description of Russia' is printed on the reverse. John Speed 1552-1629 was the outstanding cartographer of his age. By trade a merchant tailor but by proclivity a historian it was the patronage of Sir Fulke Greville poet and statesman that allowed him to pursue this interest in earnest. His 'Theatre of Great Britain' first published in 1611 or 1612 was the first large-scale printed atlas of the British Isles. The 'Prospect of the Most Famous Parts of the World' from which the present work is drawn appeared in 1627 bound with the 'Theatre' and is the first world atlas compiled by an Englishman to be published in England. Engraved in Amsterdam many of the maps are anglicized versions of works by Dutch makers in distinctive carte-à-figure style featuring borders with figures in local costume and city views. This map is from the 1676 edition of the 'Prospect' published by Thomas Bassett and Richard Chiswell. While not as rare as the earlier publications this edition is perhaps the most important given that it is the first to include the nine new maps: among them Virginia and Maryland Barbados and the present example Russia. It is also the last time that the 'Prospect' was printed as an atlas. Shirley Atlases T.SPE-2f.</p> Sold by Tho: Basset in Fleet Street and Richard Chiswell in St. Pauls Church yard,
167615098London: Thomas Bassett and Richard Chiswell 1676. 380 by 505mm. 15 by 20 inches. Sheet size 408 by 530mm 19 x 21 inches. Engraved map with text on verso. A fine and attractive map of the Carolina colony. Publishers Thomas Bassett and Richard Chiswell republished English cartographer John Speed's 1552-1629 popular 1611 atlas "The Theatre of the Empire of Great Britain" in 1676. As a supplement they included new section "A Prospect of the most Famous parts of the World" which contained maps engraved by Francis Lamb of the English colonies of New England and New York Virginia and Maryland Carolina and Florida and Jamaica and Barbados. This map depicts the Carolina colony in 1676 drawing from the Lord Proprietor's Map by royal geographer John Ogilby and the explorations of John Lederer fl. 1670-1675. The map orients the West to the top and depicts the coastline from Cape Charles at the mouth of the Chesapeake Bay to the north and St Augustine Florida to the south. Looking inland the Appalachian Mountains marked as "Apalathean Mountains" cut across the top right section of the map. The present map features a cartouche where the Ogilby publication had an inset map of the Ashley and Cooper Rivers. This map is one of the first to name Charleston "Charles Town" on the banks of the Ashley River. The map correctly identifies the town on the south bank of the Ashley River whereas Speed's smaller format map of Carolina incorrectly places the town on the north banks of the river. King Charles II granted eight Lord Proprietors land in North America that extended between 31 and 36 degrees latitude later extended to 29 degrees. Lederer was a German explorer who travelled West from the East coast of Virginia in hopes of finding the Pacific and the "Sea of China" with its associated riches. He never did reach the Pacific - unsurprisingly - but his personal records of his travels influenced contemporary maps. His description of the "Arenosa Desert" reflects Lederer's memory of crossing the Carolina pine barrens in the blistering summer heat. The "Great Lake" is likely the Catawba flooded which he mistook as permanent. In total Lederer traipsed across Virginia and the Eastern coast three times making it as far as the Blue Ridge mountains. Lederer's discoveries are recorded in Sir William Talbot's translation of the explorer's account from Latin to English and published in London in 1672 as "The Discoveries of John Lederer in three several Marches from Virginia To the West of Carolina." On the verso the text describes Lederer's journeys and discoveries. Burden 457 Cumming 77 Thomas Bassett and Richard Chiswell, unknown
