Hebrew Wood Chopper The Stone Jacob Leon
REPLY TO BISHOP COLENSO'S ATTACK UPON THE PENTATEUCH. BY THE HEBREW WOOD CHOPPER
San Francisco: Bell & Lampman 1863. 111pp. Disbound with a bit of loosening last leaf detached. Good. <br/><br/> Bishop Colenso's work is an amalgam of "blunders of the grossest description" but is nevertheless "important and dangerous" for its "attack upon the veracity of the Bible" particularly because the source of the assault is "a high dignitary in the Christian Church." <br/> Thus the Hebrew Wood Chopper defends the Pentateuch against Bishop Colenso's calumnies. He uses the remarkable sudden and unpredicted growth of California in the preceding fifteen years to refute Colenso's attack on the Pentateuch for implausible chronology. <br/>FIRST EDITION. Singerman 1802. Cowan 618. Not in Stern CA Jewish History. Bell & Lampman unknown books

Holdsworth thought highly of this book noting its "a learned book-the author tells us that he had consulted nearly a hundred authorities; the idea of making such a book was original; and the main features of the constitution are set out." In his preface Jacob indicates that he did not write this treatise on England's Constitution for the landed gentry exclusively but for "gentlemen of all ranks" that is the literate general public. This distinction is significant. Jacob though certainly interested in boosting sales by attracting the widest audience possible was an idealist who believed that widespread knowledge of the law would help create a more just society.

Without the portrait of Le Maire as usual found in only a small number of copies.

Le Maire's journal which occupies pp. 107-174 of this book describes the voyage of trade and discovery launched by one of the most aggressive of Netherlands traders in this era of Dutch expansion. The expedition sailed around Cape Horn explored the Pacific coast of South America and pursued the search for Terra Australis. Inspired in part by Quiros and motivated by Dutch trading zeal this was the essential precursor to Tasman's voyage; indeed Tasman made great use of Le Maire's mapping of the ocean. The Le Maire voyage the last of the seventeenth century expeditions to search for the unknown continent from the east was responsible for extensive discoveries in the Pacific recorded in excellent detail on the numerous maps published here. These include maps of Le Maire's Pacific route and of New Guinea the latter definitely establishing it to be an island. There are also five engraved views showing the expedition in Patagonia a Polynesian sailing canoe the anchorage at Cocos Island natives at Cocos and the isle of Hoorn. The first section of this work is the first French and second edition overall of a portion of Antonio de Herrera's Historia General first published in Madrid in 1601. This is one of the classic descriptions of the Spanish conquests in the New World with important maps of the West Indies the Americas the coasts of Central and South America the interior of Mexico Terra Firme and the west coast of South America including some of the most important maps relating to the Pacific made to the time. The third section of this volume consists of brief accounts of other voyages into the Pacific and the account of Pedro de Cevallos of the Spanish possessions in the New World. Two issues of this French translation were printed in Amsterdam in 1622. This copy has the first imprint recorded by Wagner. There were also Latin and Dutch editions in the same year differing slightly in their makeup; Wagner assigns priority to this French edition.
