[FISHER, James Hurtle]
A Cabinet of Portraits consisting of Distinguished Characters British and Foreign: accompanied with a Brief Memoir of each Person
London: William Darton 1825. First Edition. Hardcover. Very Good. London William Darton circa 1825. Octavo xii 64 pages plus 64 engraved portraits with tissue-guards. Early gilt-decorated half calf and marbled papered boards a little rubbed and bumped at the extremities; corners and the rear leading edge a little worn; 'Vol III' label missing from the spine; occasional scattered foxing and offsetting; a very good copy. Provenance: James Hurtle Fisher with his armorial bookplate on the pastedown and his signature in ink at the head of the engraved title page. Sir James Hurtle Fisher 1790-1875 'was one of the most important pioneers of South Australia' 'Australian Dictionary of Biography'. He commenced practice as a solicitor in London in 1816 and 'was drawn into the colonizing movement in 1835. He was selected as resident commissioner one of the most important offices under the South Australian Act . second only to the governor'. Fisher 'left England in July 1836 with the governor's party in the "Buffalo" arriving on 28 December 1836 at Holdfast Bay where the official oaths were administered a proclamation was read and a ceremony marked the beginning of settlement. In January 1837 Fisher erected his reed hut and Land Office near the survey camp of Colonel William Light at the north-western corner of the new capital site; the destruction of these temporary buildings by fire on 23 January 1839 caused both men serious loss. <p>Fisher had been allowed to draft his own instructions which were not shown to Governor Sir John Hindmarsh. Disputes between the two men over their respective powers had begun on the voyage and were soon revived in the new Council of Government and more violently outside and led in February 1837 to the Resident Magistrate's Court binding the participants over to keep the peace towards each other. The new governor George Gawler was appointed both governor and resident commissioner a radical departure from the principles on which the colony had been founded'. Fisher returned to his profession and became a leader of the South Australian Bar. In October 1840 he was elected first mayor of Adelaide; in 1860 he became the first resident South Australian to be knighted. The destructive fire referred to above is described in detail in the biography of Light Dutton and Elder 1991. <p>Light was living 'in the wood and reed surveyor's hut alongside Fisher's equally combustible house in the parklands on North Terrace. In his own account ". we discovered Fisher's house to be on fire. At the same time the breeze freshening up the destruction to both houses became inevitable. In less than ten minutes both houses were burnt to the ground mine catching fire at the roof by a lighted piece from Fisher's. We saved nothing of value"'. Accordingly personal mementoes such as this presumably brought by Fisher to South Australia on the 'Buffalo' must be of the utmost rarity. William Darton hardcover

[Fisher, Thomas]; and Ottobah Cugoano
The Negro's Memorial or Abolitionist's Catechism by an Abolitionist
London: Printed for the Author and Sold by Hatchard & Co. . and J. and A. Arch 1825. First edition. iv 2 127 1 pp. Title printed in red and black. Uncut. 8vo. Later green cloth. First edition. iv 2 127 1 pp. Title printed in red and black. Uncut. 8vo. This work was written by Thomas Fisher 1772-1836 British abolitionist artist and antiquary in the form of a catechism in eight chapters largely focussed on West Indian slavery. Starting with the basics "What is slavery" it progresses to the political and economic complexities of the slave-trade. He writes in the introduction that "recent transactions in Demerara" - the slave uprising known as the Demerara Rebellion of 1823 - had prompted the work and that "information which he had thus acquired if digested into a small compass and presented in a familiar garb might be both acceptable and useful to many persons." pp. III-IV.<br /> <br /> The work however is most noted for the printing of the narrative of Ottobah Cugoano within the Appendix - among the rarest of slave narratives. Born Quobna Ottobah Cugoano in 1757 in present-day Ghana he was kidnapped and enslaved in the West Indies at age 13. Purchased by Scottish plantation owner Thomas Campbell Cugoano travel with him to England in 1772 where he would be emancipated baptized and take the name John Stuart. In the mid-1780s he became associated with Olaudah Equiano and together they formed a Black abolitionist organization The Sons of Africa. In 1787 two years before Equiano would publish his own narrative Cugoano published his own Thoughts and Sentiments on the Evil and Wicked Traffic of the Slavery and Commerce of the Human Species; a second abridged edition would be published in 1791. Both editions are of extreme rarity.<br /> <br /> According to a printed note at the start of the Appendix Fisher had evidently received a copy of the first edition of Cugoano shortly before finishing his work: "It is nevertheless a narrative of such high interest and exhibits the slave-trade and slavery in such striking colours throwing light upon not a few of the most important facts which form the argument of this work that he could not resist the temptation to give it as an appendix leaving it to operate unassisted upon the minds of his readers and to inspire them according to their respective mental constitutions either with admiration or detestation of the Slave-Trade and Negro Slavery." What follows extracts the personal narrative of Cugoano from that work.<br /> <br /> Beginning "I was early snatched away from my native country." he describes the kidnapping in detail before turning to the middle passage: "And when we found ourselves at last taken away death was more preferable than life." Sent to Grenada he describes the violence and cruelty working in the sugar cane fields: "Thus seeing my miserable companions and countrymen in this pitiful distressed and horrible situation with all the brutish baseness and barbarity attending it could not but fill my little mind with horror and indignation." Once in London he learns to read and write and the extracted narrative ends: "Since I have endeavoured to improve my mind in reading and have sought to get all the intelligence I could in my situation of life towards the state of my brethren and countrymen in complexions and of the miserable situation of those who barbarously sold into captivity an unlawfully held in slavery."<br /> <br /> "Of the four major writers of African descent - Ignatius Sancho John Marrant Quobna Ottobah Cugoano John Stuart and Olaudah Equiano Gustavus Vassa - whose works were first published in London in the 1780s Cugoano remains the most radical and the least familiar" Vincent Carretta Introduction to the 1999 Penguin edition. <br /> <br /> Two states of the first edition of Fisher's Negro's Memorial are known with and without date on the title the present being the former. Sabin 52275. Not in Work Blockson or Lib. Co. Afro Americana Printed for the Author, and Sold by Hatchard & Co. ... and J. and A. Arch unknown

[FISHER, Watson Stanley]
Journal: Founding of the Matawan N.J. Loyal Temperance Legion with Minutes Attendance and Pledges
Matawan N.J.: Matawan Loyal Temperance Union 1908. Hardcover. Very Good. Small quarto. Blank book with faintly lined paper. Quarter cloth and marbled papercovered boards. First leaf neatly removed boards well-rubbed about very good. The first third of the book about 18 pages are used to record the attendance of various individuals including visitors to the Matawan Loyal Temperance Union.<br /> <br /> This is followed by 29 pages recounting the events of the first 30 meetings of the Legion beginning: "A meeting to organize a Loyal Temperance Legion was held in Geran's Hall Saturday night Jan. 20 1906 at 7 o'clock under the charge of the following from the Woman's Christian Temperance Union Miss H. Strong Mrs. H.A. Boyd and Mrs. S.M. Davison." The minutes record attendance figures singing musical performances different programs and presentations both scientific and sociological on the evils of alcohol elections of officers visits from WTCU members etc.<br /> <br /> Finally on the last pages of the book is recorded the text of The Pledge along with three pages containing 41 signatories; as well as an additional page of 18 signatories who had signed the Triple Pledge. The entries in all sections are in several hands by various secretaries pro-tem but all are easily readable.<br /> <br /> Of peripheral and somewhat morbid interest is the presence in the Journal of the name of Stanley Fisher along with two of his signatures on both The Pledge and The Triple Pledge. This would almost certainly have been the 16 year old Matawan resident Watson Stanley Fisher who as a young business man of 24 in 1916 would go to the rescue of a young boy who was attacked by a shark in Matawan Creek in a nationwide sensationalized series of shark attacks along the Jersey Shore that galvanized the nation. Both Fisher and the young boy were killed. Michael Capuzzo's book Close to Shore 2001 gives an excellent account of the attacks and a particularly colorful contemporary newspaper account of Fisher's battle with the shark. The attacks were mentioned in the film Jaws and reportedly also influenced Peter Benchley the author of the novel Jaws.<br /> <br /> All that aside leave us not lose sight of this interesting and earnest primary source record of the advance of Temperance in a central New Jersey town.

How to Cook a Wolf.
<p>A Fine tight hardcover copy in a Near Fine unclipped lamenated dust jacket. No names or markings to the text. This is M.F.K. Fisher's guide to living happily even in trying times. First published during the Second World War in the days of ration cards the book includes more than seventy recipes based on food staples and features sections such as "How to Keep Alive" and "How to Comfort Sorrow.".While How to Cook a Wolf is ostensibly a cookbook it doubles as a primer in basic cooking techniques. For example the chapter on soup "How to Boil Water" starts with the simplest task and progresses methodically: if you can boil water you can make consommé; if you can make consommé you can make onion soup; and so on until you find yourself confidently preparing hearty vegetable soups. Fisher employs this progression throughout the book with chapters like "How Not to Boil an Egg" covering omelets frittatas and similar dishes and "How to Rise Up Like New Bread" naturally breads. Her chapter titles alone will make you smile with "How to Make a Pigeon Cry" standing out as a personal favorite. </p> Duell, Sloan, & Pearce, hardcover

Auden who said of her "I do not know of anyone in the United States who writes better prose." </p> Putnams, hardcover

[GOOD ROADS MOVEMENT - ORIGINAL ARTWORK]. FISHER, Howard [Vaughn (Artist)].
Thoughts on the traffic problem; Will you be one of them; Subject to careful scrutiny; A pertinent question; The big drive is on! . . . Five large original political cartoon drawings recognizing the impact and importance of automobile travel and Good Roads in the West from 1938 through 1947.
Portland OR: Howard Fisher The Oregon Journal ca. 1937-1947. Five original pen & ink cartoon drawings sized from 13.25 x 18.5 in. up to 14 x 19 in. executed on thick card stock w/ one embossed “Glarco No. 1†at outer fore-edge 1 w/ “Strathmore†blind stamp at upper corner all camera-ready for printer still retaining some pencil annotations & ruling at outer fore-edges of image four of the five signed at lower fore-edge one twice both with signature and the artist’s iconic beaver in checkered pants minor dustsoiling light toning to fore-edges of a couple still NF exemplars. These five exceptional original political cartoon drawings reflect not only the impact of the automobile and importance of automobile travel in the World War II-era Pacific Northwest but also offer an intriguing quick snapshot of many issues we still confront as a society today. The first shows a uniformed policeman setting on a bedstead with looming anthropomorphic license plate trying to convince a resistant driver hiding under his covers to renew his license plates. License plates at the time were issued annually with necessary fees to pay for road maintenance policing and also ensured that automobiles were drivable with many municipalities requiring safety inspections. The next two both address the public safety issues of traffic accidents and the toll on pedestrians against the backdrop that at the time few municipalities or states actually required driver’s training for licenses and in the late 1930’s and 1940’s accidents fluctuated from 75 to 125 fatalities per 100000 registered vehicles as opposed to less than 20 in the 2000’s. One shows driving tips and encouraging safer speeds while the other graphically includes a skeletal skull as a front grille at night hurtling towards a pedestrian in the rain. The fourth cartoon announces “Oregon’s tourist business will be lifted toward the $ 50000000 mark†and trees and fish all welcoming automobile travelers speeding towards the “Great Oregon Outdoors.†By the early 1940’s tourism driven by automobiles was the third largest business in the state and would further expand following World War II and later construction of the Interstate Highway system. The final cartoon touts the move to build the Sullivan Gulch Expressway which would later become the Banfield Freeway named after T. harry Banfield and I-84 with development around the Lloyd Center and other apartment housing. The site was one of the largest “Hooverville†shantytown during the Great Depression housing at one time over 300 living in 130 shanties and only really finally closed during World War II. Fisher 1890-1962 attended college in Eastern Washington later studied art at the Portland Art Museum and by 1919 had begun working as cartoonist with The Oregon Journal Newspaper where he would remain until retiring in 1956 publishing over 9300 editorial cartoons. His trademark was an impish beaver wearing one-suspender checkered trousers signed about two-thirds of his drawings with none usually dated but often dating with matter incidental to the events of the week. His topics ranged from the New Deal to Truman Eisenhower World War II War Atrocities local events and more. The University of Washington and University of Oregon both have portions of original Fisher political cartoons and caricatures.

Although his own political views were conservative…his sympathies in the Civil War were with the Confederacy because he felt that the South as a section had been unfairly treated by the North as a section.†DAB</p> <p>Attributed to J.F.
