[Maine – Maritime History – Caribbean] Higgins, William; Burritt, Elijah H; et al
Logbook and Other Materials of William Higgins Sea Captain from Bowdoinham Maine 1830–1898
United States and Caribbean 1898. Approximately twenty-nine pieces: logbook of eighty-four double-sided pages measuring 13 x 20 inches; eight letters seventeen documents and forms and three pieces of miscellany. Much wear and significant damage to logbook including water damage mildew and tearing; log book overall fair to good minus. Other materials good to very good. Overall good. William Higgins 1791–1872 was a farmer sea captain and owner of and investor in ships from Bowdoinham Maine. According to the Maine Maritime Museum which holds his family papers Higgins’ ships traded mainly in lumber which they took from Wilmington North Carolina to the Caribbean.<br /> <br /> Offered here is a logbook recording the travels of several of Higgins’ ships particularly the brigs Mary Jane and Llewellyn alongside related documents and personal letters. The logbook dating between 1832 and 1836 extensively documents the course wind data and weather remarks for travels of the ships between east coast US port cities and various locations in the Caribbean including Barbados St. Thomas and Martinique. The logbook also contains a copy of astronomer and mathematician Elijah Burritt’s illustration “A Plan of the Solar System Exhibiting its Relative Magnitudes and Distances†engraved by W. G Evans and printed in 1835 by F.J. Huntington.<br /> <br /> The letters and documents date from 1830 to 1867 and are also mostly business-related including an insurance document for the brig William Parrington a roll of sailors enlisted to work on a six-month journey between the Caribbean and the US in 1845 a bill of sale for ¼ stake in the brig Mary Jane and receipts and logs for items including various liquors sugar molasses casks and so on. One letter from a young man in Wilmington requests advice on how to start his own business in the style of Higgins’; other letters concern family matters. One interesting undated document is a writ addressed to the Marshal of the District of Maine concerning a lawsuit filed against Higgins and Rufus Carr master of the William Parrington by Zachrisson Nelson Co. The suit alleged that Carr acting as an agent for the ship’s owners that is Higgins had agreed to an affreightment involving shipping from Jamaica to Spain to New York but had then “wholly neglected and refused to do soâ€.<br /> <br /> Of interest to scholars of maritime history and trade in the mid-19th century. unknown

[Maine – Politics] Palmer, Barnabas
1845 Letter Discussing Maine State Politics
Kennebunk Maine 1845. Two 7 ½ x 9 ¾ inch pages. Near fine. A letter from Barnabas Palmer in Kennebunk to Charles G. Bellamy Esquire in Kittery. Bellamy 1811–1892/1899 was a captain in the Maine militia a member of the Maine House of Representatives 1842–3 and State Senate 1846–7 York County Sheriff and then Inspector of Timber at the Navy Yard in Portsmouth.1 Palmer 1791–1867 may have been military; he appears in Maine state records as an agent for the Kennebunk Gun House which is listed in other records as under the purview of the Quartermaster General.<br /> <br /> Palmer gives Bellamy his opinion on the political prospects of “Pierce†versus “Hammond†commenting:<br /> <br /> “I did not hear of any legislative recommendation of Hammond while I was at Augusta and if there was and their late abolition speeches & Texan resolutions is a specimen of the support they intend to give Mr Polk it should not have much effect.â€<br /> <br /> The US under President Polk had not yet annexed Texas and Palmer is apparently underwhelmed by Maine’s support for the cause. He also remarks on Joshua Herrick’s 1793–1874 bid for re-nomination to Congress; though he feels that he had “been badly treated†by Herrick’s competition “Judge Hayes†Palmer nonetheless feels compelled to vote for Hayes over Herrick. Of interests to historians of Maine state politics.<br /> <br /> 1 John E. Frost Colonial Village Gundalow Club: 1948 28. unknown

[Maine: Casco Bay] Des Barres, Joseph Frederick Wallet
The Harbours and Rivers between Portland Point and Stage Island.
<b>Striking Casco Bay Chart from the Atlantic Neptune 1776</b><br /><br />This is an exceptional chart of the coast of Maine between Cape Elizabeth and Popham from the early Revolutionary War period. It is from Des Barres' monumental <i>Atlantic Neptune</i> a sea atlas published by the British Admiralty during the last quarter of the 18th century. The <i>Atlantic Neptune</i> has been called "the most splendid collection of charts plans and views ever published." <br /><br />The present chart includes all of Casco Bay naming the larger islands and extends east to include Seguin "Segevin Island" and Georgetown Islands. Among the numerous geographic features named are Great Jebieg Chebeague Merrymeeting Bay Segadahock River Arrowsick Island and Halfway Road i.e. Rock. Roads are shown on the chart as are individual buildings. <br /><br />The chart is dated July___ 1776 i.e. with a prominent space after the month as if a date were going to be inserted. There is no type-stamped "15" at the upper right as called for in some copies of state "b" of the Stevens Catalogue. <br /><br />The chart was folded into four vertical panels about 30 1/4 x 12" to accommodate being "bound up in tall narrow form" Stevens' Catalogue p. vii. The chart paper has the LVG watermark consistent with the earlier issues of the chart. <br />A scarce early state of a desirable chart. <br /><br /><b>References:</b> Stevens <i>Catalogue of the Atlantic Neptune</i>: 105 State: b. Sellers & Van Ee <i>Maps and Charts of North America and the West Indies</i> 1750-1789: 855. <br /><br /><b>Condition: </b>A wonderfully clean example of a striking chart of Casco Bay.<br /><br />ICN 3763.

[Maine: Hancock/Mount Desert Island]
Plan of Heights of Buena Vista. Hancock Me. Dec. 1888.
<p>This attractively executed map/plan is for a proposed development by the Maine Central Railroad conveniently located "near terminus of the Mt. Desert Branch" of the railroad. The plan was "laid out by Joseph H. Curtis landscape engineer from surveys by J.G. Kelley." The completion of the Mt. Desert Branch in 1884 made possible an all-rail journey from Portland and points south to the Mt. Desert area. The proposed development apparently did not occur since a note on OCLC states: "Later maps show no evidence of the planned roads or lots."</p><p>Scarce with OCLC locating examples at the University of Maine at Orono Yale and Columbia. The Osher Map Library also has an example.</p><p><strong>Condition:</strong> Litho in green blue and brown. Very good with a small smudge at the middle of the right blank margin and remnants of mounting tape on the reverse.</p><p>ICN 7807.2</p> Heliotype Printing Co.

SIR THE FRIENDS OF THE PRESENT NATIONAL ADMINISTRATION OF THE GENERAL GOVERNMENT IN THE COUNTY OF CUMBERLAND COMPOSED BOTH OF FEDERAL AND DEMOCRATIC REPUBLICANS HAVING EXPRESSED THEIR VIEWS AND WISHES IN RELATION TO THE APPROACHING ELECTION.
Maine 1826. Folio sheet folded to 8" x 9-1/2". One printed page followed by three blanks. Addressed on final blank with folds for mailing and remnant of wax seal to William Thomas of Gorham Maine. Spotted Good or so.<br /> <br /> The document is signed in type at the end by Committee Members Daniel Gilbert Thomas Browne and Ethan Earle. It is dated in ink "Sept. 5th 1826." The Committee urges Maine "to send forth from our state an unequivocal voice in favor of the Head of the National Government" by voting for Adams supporters Enoch Lincoln Governor Stephen Longfellow Congress and other members of the State ticket.<br /> Allusions to the bitter 1824 presidential contest are numerous; the wounds inflicted by that campaign are obviously still open: "We have placed the man of our choice at the head of our government." If "we abandon him to the rude tempest of a bitter opposition how shall we answer it to our consciences and our country. What then has the President done that we should leave him to his enemies. We do not profess one thing and intend another-- we do not cry 'Adams' but mean 'Crawford'." <br /> Not located on OCLC as of November 2017. unknown

To the Honourable the House of Commons of Great Britain in Parliament assembled. The humble petition of William Armstrong John Evans John Norbourne Daniel Hall Benjamin Devenish Samuel Ball and Albion Thompson.caption title
London 1715. Broadsheet. 1p. plus printed docket title on verso. Small folio. Bound to style in half calf over marbled paper-covered boards. Ornamental border. Minor foxing. Very good. A project for colonizing Maine in 1715. One of only two surviving copies.<br/> <br/> A rare early petition relating to British settlement in the eastern part of present-day Maine. The authors refer to petitioning "his Majesty in Council on the 6th Day of December last for having a Colony settled between New England and Nova Scotia" with "over one thousand disbanded men" and to be funded with the proceeds of a proposed coinage operation. The only copy of this document listed by OCLC and ESTC is at the New-York Historical Society which estimates merely that the document was printed during the 1700s. The historical context the text cited above and discovery of this broadsheet among similar petitions dating almost exclusively to 1714 and 1715 however make 1715 an extremely likely date of printing. In the Treaty of Utrecht 1713 the French ceded the land east of the Kennebec River presumably the area in question here to the British; this event and the reference to "disbanded soldiers" suggest that the War of the Spanish Succession had recently ended which it finally did in 1714. George I succeeded Queen Anne in late 1714 meaning that the petitioning of "December last" could not have been earlier than that year. With the new monarchy and a major upheaval in the House of Commons following the general election of 1715 petitionary literature distributed in the lobby of Parliament surged with this document almost certainly among the examples from that year. The petitioners evidently officers who had served in the recent war call attention to the fact that the lands they hope to settle "were formally survey'd and given by King Charles the Second to the Duke of York" and that the area has been confirmed as rich for farming. They ask that Parliament allow them to present their formal proposals for the settlement or "if not thought proper to have a Colony settled in that part of North-America" at least still to grant them a contract to coin 1000 tons' worth of half-pence and farthings. A very important Maine document one of only two surviving copies. unknown

A list of names and births of Seward Porters Family.
<b><i>Family Register of Seward Porter circa 1800</i></b><br /><br /><br />A nicely accomplished though primitive family register of the Seward and Eleanor Porter family. Two colorful plants with birds in their top branches fill the sides of the register. At the top hover two angel-like figures one bearing an hour glass the other blowing a horn. <p>Seward and Eleanor Porter were from Weymouth Massachusetts but relocated to Falmouth in the District of Maine in about 1777 and then to Freeport in about 1782. This family register lists the names birth places and birth dates of the Porter's 13 children from 1778 to 1797. </p>Their fourth son on the list -- also named Seward Porter -- would become a prominent Maine mariner and entrepreneur. He brought the first steamboat to Maine in 1823. In 1837 he published a now-highly-prized set of charts of the Maine coast. For Seward Porter the son see:<i>Tooley's Dictionary of Mapmakers</i>: Vol 3 p. 453 and Guthorn <i>United States Coastal Charts 1783-1861</i>: p. 29. <br /><br /><b>Condition:</b> Approximately 14 x 10."

[Maine] Sullivan, James
The History of the District of Maine.Illustrated by a new correct Map of the District.
This is the first general history of Maine written in the post-Revolutionary War time period that saw several state histories published including those by Belknap Jefferson and Ramsay. Despite its distinctly chilly initial reception and the less than impressive editorial standards Sullivan's <i>History</i>is a cornerstone work in any collection of Maine material. <p>The <i>History</i>includes as the frontispiece Osgood Carleton's <i>A Map of the District of Maine Drawn from the latest Surveys and other best Authorities by Osgood Carleton</i>. The map measuring 20 5/16 x 16 3/8" includes an inset titled <i>A Map of those parts of the Country most famous for being harassed sic by the Indians</i>. Carleton's map was the most detailed done of Maine to that time. </p><p>At the head of the title page is an inscription which has been lined out: "For D. Laincourt from his Friend the Author."</p><p><b>References:</b> Evans: 29589. Howes <i>USiana:</i> S-1122. Sabin: 93499. Williamson <i>A Bibliography of the State of Maine</i>: 9608.
