‎MAINE BRENTON Jahleel; and William ELLERY‎

‎Manuscript map of the "Waldo Patent" principally depicting the land between the Muscongus River and Penobscot Bay‎

‎Newport R.I. 1767. Manuscript map in ink and wash on a single folio sheet 15 1/4 x 19 inches. Docketed in manuscript on verso "Map of Leveretts Patent alias Muscongus." With two manuscript documents one being 3pp. on folio sheets dated at Boston May 19 1787; the other being 3pp. on folio sheets dated at Providence R.I. on May 30 1787. Also with a half-page of manuscript dated Boston March 28 1768. All three documents relating to the lands depicted on the map. Map with minor separations along horizontal fold. The half-page document being only the beginning portion of a longer letter otherwise the manuscripts in near fine condition. A highly important manuscript map of Colonial Maine: heavily annotated by William Ellery a signer of the Declaration of Independence from Rhode Island.<br/> <br/>An attractive eighteenth century manuscript map of Penobscot Bay Maine heavily annotated by William Ellery a signer of the Declaration of Independence from Rhode Island who made claims to some of the lands depicted on the map. The map was drawn by British Rear-Admiral Jahleel Brenton who commanded the HMS Queen during the Revolution and whose family lost much of its property as a result of the Revolution. The map is skillfully rendered as would be expected of a British naval officer and is done on a scale of about three miles to the inch. The map depicts the coastline from the Damariscotta River in the southwest to the Penobscot River in the northeast and shows and names the many islands of the Bay as well as many inlets harbors rivers ponds etc. The location of a fort and settlements have also been added. This information was all added by William Ellery 1727-1820 a signer of the Declaration of Independence from Rhode Island. Ellery explains in a manuscript note in the lower right corner of the map dated at Newport Rhode Island in 1767: "This map of Leverett's Patent &c was copied from a copy by Jahleel Brenton Esq. one of the Proprietors; and presented by his son Samuel Brenton to William Ellery who wrote the References Names of Places &c. William Ellery." In the upper left corner of the sheet Ellery has added a long manuscript note explaining the survey and the boundaries of Leverett's Patent as depicted on the map. This map and the accompanying manuscript documents were found among William Ellery's papers and were part of Ellery and his brother Benjamin's attempts to claim lands in Maine that they believed belonged to their family. "Leverett's Patent" also known as the Waldo Patent or the Muscongus Patent was issued in 1629 to Thomas Leverett and John Beauchamp. It granted land and trading rights for a thirty-six square mile area along the Penobscot Bay in present-day Maine between the Muscongus River and Penobscot River. According to the documents present here Leverett inherited the full patent upon Beauchamp's death and at his own death divided the grant among his ten children who then divided the land again amongst the next generation. Around 1720 Gen. Samuel Waldo of Boston acquired a large portion of the patent and began recruiting immigrants from Germany to settle the area. The letter fragment present here dated March 28 1768 and addressed to Benjamin and William Ellery asserts that the Ellerys have an "undoubted right to a half share" of the Muscongus lands as a result of a purchase made by their grandfather. The unidentified author of the letter goes on to describe the Waldo heirs as "exceeding difficult to deal with." Also present are two manuscripts one being a 1787 copy of the original 1629 grant of the Muscongus Patent from the Council of Plymouth the other being a manuscript deed of sale signed by James Green for a portion of the original patent. A handsome colonial era manuscript map of the coast of Maine drawn by a British Rear-Admiral and used by a signer of the Declaration of Independence to defend his family's claims to the land. Significant manuscript maps of this early date are virtually unknown in the market. unknown books‎

‎The Mind of Mr. Soames‎

‎London: Hodder and Stoughton. Near Fine in Near Fine dj. 1961. First Edition. Hardcover. price-clipped nice tight clean copy just the teensiest bumping to the lower front corner; the jacket is virtually flawless downgraded from Fine only because of the price-clipping and a touch of soiling to the rear panel. "John Soames is thirty years old and physiologically speaking alive. But by some trick of fate he has never become conscious. He is awoken and brought to full consciousness by a surgeon's knife a newborn baby with the body of a healthy young man." Basis for the 1970 British-American film of the same name starring Terence Stamp and Robert Vaughn; a critical and box-office disappointment on its original release the film has gained a bit of a retrospective cult reputation with one online critic calling it "a dark gem and a worthy pretender to the British horror hall of fame." Uncommon in the first edition all the more so in such outstanding condition. . Hodder and Stoughton hardcover books‎
