Seward William H.
Speech of William H. Seward on the Claims of American Merchants for Indemnities for French Spoliations. Delivered in the Senate of the United States January 21 1851
No Place: Buell and Blanchard Printers. Pamphlet. Good. No place or date. Pamphlet disbound from a larger volume. Lacking any original wraps that may have been issued.16 pages. Speech calling for reparations to be made to American merchants by France for losses incurred mostly to American merchant vessels in the Caribbean during the Quasi War which was ended by the Convention of 1800. At the time of the speech Seward was serving as a US Senator representing the State of New York. Sabin calls for 28 pages although this work ends with a half page at page 16 and seems complete in itself. As Sabin notes a 32 page 3rd edition to this work that contains added material it is perhaps possible that this is either a 1st or 2nd edition with the 28 page issue noted by Sabin also one of those two editions. GOOD condition. Some creasing and chipping along the spine with moderate browning to the paper. Some foxing to the last page. Lower corners creased and folded over. Sabin 79566. Buell and Blanchard, Printers unknown

"This anecdotal profile tells the story of the fabulous 'Emperors of Pawnbroking' - the William Hockshop Simpsons who for five generations maintained the oldest best-known and most respected pawnshop in the United States. This bizarre family business began in 1822 when the first William Simpson came from England and set up New York's first hockshop. From the era of O. Henry to that of Damon Runyon the Simpsons did business with gypsies morticians gamblers actors sportsmen and thousands of others who came to their store to solve unique personal problems. Among the items handled by the Simpsons were the fabulous Hope Diamond a Stradivarius a ten-volume History of the Jews fifteenth-century manuscripts paintings a set of Chinese screens rugs linens coins antiques watches and a Crusader's giant thumb ring. The people who hocked these varied treasures were famous and infamous rich and poor e t h i c a l a nd not so ethical. There are stories here about 'sleepers' - those unexpected bargains that turn up so rarely and there is an expose of clever frauds and shady tricks used in the past. In addition the appendix covers techniques an d cu st om s of pa wnbroking and gives five basic rules for hockers plus a brief history of borrowing and lending through the ages. Here you will learn how to protect yourself how to tell genuine from fake merchandise some dependable trade n ame s an d h ow to de t erm ine value."

SLAVERY; WEST INDIES. HAITIAN SLAVE REVOLT.
Log book of Commodore John Ford.
1792 - 1794. Original manuscript log book of Commodore John Ford kept during the Haitian Revolution Square octavo 195 x 157 mm. Contemporary reversed calf spine with five low raised bands sides with blind roll tool foliate border. 122 ff. pre-printed log book grid. Rubbed some staining to boards marks from wine glasses and spilled candle wax upper joint cracked but firm on cords fabric lifting from spine in places occasional tears portion of one leaf for 7-8 December 1792 neatly excised yet this remains in remarkably good condition. A conspicuous survival from a period of violent tumult in the Caribbean: the log book of the distinguished Royal Navy officer Commodore John Ford kept while Commander-in-Chief Jamaica Station. "At the start of the French Revolutionary War Ford d. 1796 had nine small vessels including three frigates in addition to his flagship at Jamaica. Having been asked to assist French Royalists on the island of San Domingo he sailed on 9 September 1793 in company with the Goelan 14 guns Commander Thomas Wolley and schooner Flying Fish 4 guns Lieutenant James Prevost. After occupying parts of the island from 19 to 21 September he installed a royalist government and spent the rest of the year reducing the main towns on the island. During September his force captured the French vessel Convention Nationale 10 guns off San Domingo. Early in 1794 he began a blockade of Port au Prince on 3 February captured Cape Tiburon and on 11 April took Aoul. Now commanding four sail of the line three frigates and three sloops he conveyed nearly fifteen hundred troops under the command of Brigadier-General Whyte to Port au Prince and despite the arrival of a ferocious tropical storm he quickly took Fort Brissoton. After bombardments over the next three days Port au Prince capitulated on 4 June. He eventually vacated his command and returned home with Captain Thomas Surridge as his flag-captain in July 1795" morethannelson.com. Ford is mentioned in Dudley Pope's The Black Ship 1963 his account of the 1797 mutiny the bloodiest in British naval history in which the frigate Hermione under Ford's command on the Jamaica Station was the main stage. Apparently designed to demarcate his Jamaica service the log commences on 7th November 1792: "On the 5th Day of October last I received a Commission from the Right Honble the Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty appointing me Commander in Chief of His Majesty's Ships & Vessels… employed at harbour the Island of Jamaica & the Bahama Islands & this day at 11 AM hoisted my Broad Pendant on bd. His Majesty's Ship 50 Gun Europa in Hamouze. Saluted Rr. Ad. Corby with 13 guns which was returned". Hamouze was the inlet at the mouth of the river Tamar at Plymouth that ran up country for some miles and housed both a wet and a dry dock. After his arrival in Jamaica on 4th Jan. 1793 there are no further entries until 10th September 1793 but the log does then record position actions and signals of various squadrons and in various locations including at the home base of Port Royal taken on almost every subsequent day until 31st July 1794. Most significantly this manuscript records in detail one of the most outstanding actions of Ford's career and indeed of the Jamaica Station itself: the September 1793 attack on the French colonies of Saint-Domingue and Jérémie which had been seized by slaves during the Haitian Revolution 1791-1804. In various actions at L'Islet Flamande Bay and Môle-Saint-Nicolas Ford's squadron captured French merchant and naval vessels; the shallow-draught schooner Flying Fish conveying part of the 13th 1st Somersetshire Regiment in a daring beach assault in support of French monarchists. The Môle-Saint-Nicolas itself is described by C. L. R. James as "the Gibraltar of the Caribbean Sea" The Black Jacobins: Toussaint L'Ouverture and the San Domingo Revolution 1963 p. 31. The final significant action recorded before this log closes is the capture of Port au Prince in concert with the ground forces of Brigadier-General John Whyte on 8th June 1794. All of this is covered by Clowes in his magisterial history of the Royal Navy where he describes Ford's assistance to French royalist forces as being "welcomed with joy" vol. iv p. 214. John Ford was commissioned lieutenant in April 1761 and appointed to the sloop Swallow; in 1772-73 he was commander on the Hazard. Promoted post-captain in 1773 and given command of the Unicorn he was at two actions during the American Revolutionary War the capture of the frigate Raleigh 1778 - in a seven-hour running battle off the Maine coast - and the action at Cancale Bay 1779. As captain he commanded the frigates Brilliant and Nymphe during the Anglo-French War of 1778-83 and was at Chesapeake Bay 1781 and under Rodney and Hood in the West Indies at Battle of the Saintes 1782. Following this he captained ships-of-the-line Polyphemus and Carnatic before being appointed Commander-in-Chief Jamaica Station on the 50-gun Europa. In 1794 he was successively Rear-Admiral of the Blue and of the White and in the following year Vice-Admiral of the Blue. Ford's Letter Books six volumes covering the years 1792-1795 kept while he was on the Jamaica Station are held at the Admiralty Library Portsmouth MSS 179. By its very nature a ship's log is a businesslike thing and this example is no exception. However there is an urgency discernible in the hand during the rising tensions of imminent action and wartime events spice the plain fare of log-keeping. Other matters punctuate the diurnal repetition of duties: on Saturday 21 September 1793 for instance Ford notes the punishment of one "Josh. Treglome with 1 Dozen lashes for neglect of Duty" and two days later the death "in the T. Gt. Topgallant sails" of "Jno. McCullum". There is supplying of rum to garrisons reading of the Articles of War and the constant maintenance of the ship "wash'd the Lower Deck" is regularly noted an action more common in hot climes for as the Naval and Military Magazine pointed out in 1827: "the lower deck should never be washed at all excepting under the most favourable circumstances for drying it". Among the regular ship's business for Wednesday 19 December 1792 - apparently while at anchor in Funchal Bay Madeira - is the intriguing note in a rather more florid hand "Miss Ann Phelps Gardner of Hereford is at present at this house". A remarkable log covering the Jamaica Station at a time of historic turbulence the pinnacle of Ford's career and the action for which he was promoted to vice-admiral and is best remembered. hardcover

Smith Bob
Sour Notes. Number Six. July 1945
West Hempstead NY: Bob Smith Publisher 1945. Unbound. Poor. Single page printed on both sides. Published for the National Amateur Press Association this work produced by Bob Smith provided somewhat scathing reviews of amateur publications and mimeograph works commenting on everything from typography to content and quality of printing. Rear page with a history of Christianity practiced at colleges. Similar to a zine this work was presumably a piece issued by the umbrella organization National Amateur Press Association in which amateur printers could fraternize and exchange their publications. POOR condition. Ex-library with stamping across the top edge. Paper very brittle flaking along the edges and with loss of margins. Horizontal fold crease present. Heavy browning to the paper.
