Amsterdam 1720. Title-leaf 25152311810pp. plus seventy-five plates forty-seven double page sixteen folding including frontispiece and three maps. Large folio. Contemporary paneled calf ornate gilt covers and spine black gilt morocco label. Remarkably clean and bright. Bookseller's label pasted to front free endpaper. An excellent copy with additional engraved plate laid in. One of the great satirical plate books of the 18th century directing its invective at the Mississippi Company of John Law and the wild speculation and financial collapse engendered by the pioneering stock issuance of the company. The Netherlands was a particular hotbed of speculation with over 350 million guilders invested in the scheme before its collapse. The plates and their accompanying text in prose and poetry begin with a portrait of John Law and follow the course of the speculation in ludicrous and sometimes obscene images. It is a remarkable final chapter to the literature of Law and the Mississippi speculation. <br> <br> "The book is divided into six sections with no general table of contents. The first part contains the articles of various Dutch companies. The second section consists of comedies and farces; the third part poems often containing street language; the fourth part descriptions of playing cards satirizing speculators; the fifth part four letters to 'N.N.'; and the sixth section chiefly pictures although pictures appear elsewhere in the book as well" - BOUND TO PLEASE. <br> <br> This book has always been a bibliographically perplexing one with no two copies seeming to collate alike.

Copiah County MS 1877. Broadside 4-1/4" x9-1/4". Illustration of American Screaming Eagle at head of title. Light wear Very Good.<br/> <br/> The unrecorded and probably unique political ticket is from Copiah County Mississippi: the candidates on the underticket-- Sheriff County Treasurer Assessor and Surveyor-- were all from Copiah County. They won the election. <br/> Mississippi Republicans-- whom white Mississippians viewed as pariahs-- did not nominate a candidate for governor in 1877. The contest was between the regular Democrats who nominated John M. Stone for governor and old-timer Albert Gallatin Brown who had been Mississippi's governor a generation earlier. Brown was nominated by the People's Party Mississippi's brief experiment with Populism. He lost overwhelmingly to Stone. The New Orleans Times-Picayune reported that the election results showed "that the Radicals have lost all their influence" and that "several negroes who last year voted the Radical ticket this year voted with the Democrats." The Times-Picayune Friday Aug. 31 1877 page 2 and Sunday Nov. 11 1877 page 11. <br/> Brown 1813-1880 had been Governor Congressman U.S. Senator and Confederate Senator. He had been an integral part of Mississippi politics for nearly forty years. Kinloch Kinlock Falconer 1838-1878 was a lawyer from Holly Springs editor of the Holly Springs Reporter and one time mayor. During the Civil War he served with the 9th Regiment Mississippi Infantry and was assigned to General Bragg's headquarters. He was Secretary of the State in 1878 and died that year during the Holly Springs yellow fever epidemic. <br/> Silvester Gwin 1830-1891 of Lawrence County was Clerk of the Circuit Court of the County before winning the Auditor's position. During the Civil War he was Captain of Co. A 22nd Mississippi Infantry. William L. Hemingway 1839-1925 of Hinds County was 2d Lieut. of Co. K 11th Mississippi Infantry. He held the position of Mississippi State Treasurer from 1875-1890. In 1890 he was tried on charges of embezzlement when he was unable to account for a shortage of over $315000. He was found guilty and sentenced to five years in the state penitentiary.<br/> Thomas C. Catching Catchings 1847-1927 of Hinds County Mississippi joined the Confederate Army in 1861; was admitted to the bar in 1866 and was a perennial politician. unknown books
