The aim of this volume is to preserve the deeds and lives of those who have done all this." W. H. Beers & Co unknown

GRANDMA TO SARAH SEYMOUR
1832 UTTERLY CHARMING ORIGINAL HANDWRITTEN BOOK OF OBSERVATIONS SAGE ADVICE INSTRUCTION IN DECORUM POETRY AND QUOTATIONS OF FAMED AMERICAN ICONS AND PHILOSOPHERS TO HER TWO YEAR OLD GRANDDAUGHTER
MADISON COUNTY ONEIDA COUNTY CAZENOVIA 1832. On offer is an utterly charming original 19th Century manuscript book handwritten by an adoring grandmother who offers her sage advice to her 2 year old granddaughter Sarah Seymour. While she is not named the author will undoubtedly be named by local historians or researchers. Casual research suggests the girl to be Sarah E. Seymour later Mrs. James Burton of Oneida County New York born in 1828. See the Bio Notes that follow. Grandmother imparts age-old advice to her beloved little one. Part common sense part pious belief and faith another part solidly pure folksy Americana with entries that include affectionate lessons combined with stories poetry and prose quotations from the Bible and invocations of iconic American historical figures like a dying quote from Thomas Jefferson the wisdom of John Adams Dr. Watts Rev. David Brainard Col. Ogden's toast to General Marquis La Fayette Solomon etc. all parts of the important perceptions of life shared through her grandmother's life experiences. The grandmother is an educated literate and practical woman of the 19th Century and we can only hope Sarah had the benefit of seeing her Grandmother to a ripe old age. Here are some snippets: "Dear Sarah my darling granddaughter I am going to write some interesting little extracts that I hope will be pleasing to you. I hope my little girl will by going to school receive much instruction which will make you wise. And King Solomon says wisdom is the principle thing. Read often the eighth chapter of Proverbs there is much wisdom contained in it & you may remember it as a favorite chapter of your dear grand - mama's." Then grandmother writes a couple of poems a story of "Moorland Mary" and continues to address Sarah. "Dear Sarah I cannot bear to have you grow up a tall weed. I want you to appear like a pretty flower. It is observable that the best of flowers in a garden would in time degenerate into tall dry weeds if not cultivated. Remember my dear Sarah to ask as few questions as possible or indeed not any but where there seems to be a necessity for it. Let cheerfulness sweetness pleasantness be always blended in your countenance & air. This is a charm which is highly predominant in winning the love of every body whilst a cloudy morose & overbearing countenance is the reverse ladies preceptor." Then grandmother writes a few lines from the Bible and two little interesting stories; one of a little girl; one of a little boy; which are really subtle life lessons for Sarah. "
Adams & Jefferson died the fourth of July 1826. President Monroe died the 4th of July 1831
the last words of Thomas Jefferson were. 'I resign my soul of my God & my daughter to my country.' "Dear Sarah be affectionate be kind be obedient be diligent be amiable. Take notice my dear Sarah.Dear Sarah you being a little girl will like to read this ceremony" and grandma writes of the Danes and Danish customs of dance and German manners and ladies in England and a few "pretty verses." "I think my dear Sarah you will like to know what I am going to write concerning Dr. Watts that great friend to children." The most poignant and moving of entries to Sarah comes toward the end of this incredible little handwritten book that perhaps took grandmother quite a while to compose perhaps even over a couple of years with poems poetry biblical sayings proverbs life lessons and so much more. This entry is toward the end of this book. "My dear little Sarah I am now writing some lines your Aunt Hyde has written to be put in the Newspaper of the death of Mrs. Hull's little children that you very well knew and that I have seen them here. They were laid together in a little coffin little sisters & they were buried in one grave. Died at Taberg on Thursday evening last Jan. 5th 1832 of the canker-rash. Hariot Harriet Eliza aged four years & 6 months The following Saturday morning Mary Hyde aged two years & 6 months children of Gilbert & Eliza Hull. Their saviour called their spirits quiet their day to join the ransomed on the realms of day. Then check each sigh & wipe each falling tear you wish them out of Heaven to wish them here. Through Jesus's merit may you reach that shore and meet your lovely babes to part no more. This Providence I hope will be profitable to Mary & Sarah Seymour." The Hull children were buried in the Old Taberg Cemetery Oneida County New York in January of 1832. Soft covered handwritten book is in gray wrappers; a bound manuscript book ink blots to covers only with crisp clear and legible writing. The 4 x 5 inch book has 44 pages with a few interesting paper labels attached by grandmother inside the front and rear covers. Overall G. BIO NOTES: Sarah E. Seymour Burton; Birth: 1828; Madison County; New York USA; Death: Oct. 19 1882; Spouse: James Burton 1825 - 1866; Burial: Evergreen Cemetery Cazenovia Madison County New York USA.

Rare Autograph Letter signed and entirely in the hand of Ulysses S. Grant. One page folded the letter is dated February 10th 1883 on Grant's 3 East 66th Street letterhead and reads in full "My dear Mrs. Fish: I am very sorry to withdraw Mrs. Grants and my acceptance to dine with you and Governor Fish on Tuesday next but I am obliged to. On Thursday last I received letter from the Secretary of State requesting my presence in Washington the first of the coming week in connection with the commercial treaty between the United States and Mexico. I wrote to him how inconvenient it would be for me to go before the last of the week and that if not absolutely necessary I would postpone my visit to that time. Today I received an answer saying that the Chairman of the Foreign Relations Committee of the Senate desires me to appear before that committee on Thursday next. In view of the fact that there will be but three weeks of the sessions after Thursday next and the great importance of the treaty under consideration I put that I must go to Washington Thursday evening. General and Mts. Beale will be here Thursday evening to spend some days with us and Mrs. Grant feels that she would not like to have them and General Beale writes me that Mrs. Beale is suffering so with her eye that she will have to keep to the house and out of strong light. Very Truly yous U.S. Grant." In near fine condition. When Grant returned to America from Post-presidnecy world tour he had depleted most of his savings and needed to earn money and find a new home. Wealthy friends bought him a home on Manhattan's Upper East Side and to make an income Grant Jay Gould and former Mexican Finance Secretary Matias Romero chartered the Mexican Southern Railroad with plans to build a railroad from Oaxaca to Mexico City. Grant urged Chester A. Arthur who had succeeded Garfield as president in 1881 to negotiate a free trade treaty with Mexico. Arthur and the Mexican government agreed but the United States Senate rejected the treaty in 1883. The railroad was similarly unsuccessful falling into bankruptcy the following year. unknown books
