First edition in French. iv 412; iv 392 pp. 2 vols. 8vo. "a good introduction of Scotland to Frenchmen" First French edition of A Tour through the Highlands of Scotland . London 1787. "This Scottish philanthropist was for many years a bookseller of eminence in London and devoted the fortune he acquired in his business to the improvement of his country. He had long been concerned over the wretched condition of the Highlanders and had made as many as sixteen journeys since 1764 into various parts of the North. He succeeded in arousing the active interest of the London Highland Society in the formation of a British Society for extending the fisheries and improving the sea ports on the coasts. Subscriptions were taken and then he set out on the above recorded tour for which he was voted a gold medal by the Society. The two principal improvements he advocated were inland navigation e.g. tbe Crinan Canal since accomplished and the establishment of free villages or fishing stations on the east coast." - Cox. Cox says of this French edition: "This work served as a good introduction of Scotland to Frenchmen and is of importance for the story of Ossianism in France. He reproduced some of the arguments of John Smith's Gaelic Antiquities Edinb. 1780 in reply to Johnson's attacks whereby Frenchmen became acquainted with some of the theories of Smith an acquired some notion of the Highland bards. The Tour was first published in 1787 at the Highland Society of London. Cox III p. 33-34 Defer de Maisonneuve unknown

Yachting Magazine
An archive of materials belonging to John Clarke Kennedy concerning his involvement in Yachting Inc. publishers of Yachting Magazine and the eventual merging of Yachting Inc. into Kelmo Corporation which the Kennedy family controlled
1940. 1 vols. One full red calf corporate ledger titled "Yachting Incorporated"; one green cloth stock ledger with the remains of a Yachting label on the upper cover; two green cloth books of stock certificates each labeled "Yachting Incorporated Preferred Stock" and one such book labeled "Yachting Incorporated Common Stock"; a similar book of stock certificates of Kennedy Brothers Incorporated; two appointment books with tide tables for 1937 and 1938; and a brown expanding legal-size folder of documents. 1 vols. An Archive Concerning Yachting Magazine. John C. Kennedy was successively treasurer then president of Yachting Inc. publishers of Yachting Magazine and retained this archive after the magazine changed hands in the late 1930s. Included in this material are the corporate records of the Kelmo Corporation into which Yachting Inc. was merged in 1924 it later separated and was re-merged in 1940 records of the Yachting Board of Directors' meetings primarily concerning financing and including the meeting agreeing to sell all the capital stock to Kennedy; the actual books of issued and unissued common and preferred stock certificates of Yachting Inc. a book of shares of common stock of Kennedy Brothers Incorporated transferring Yachting stock to the Kennedys; the original 1923 signed option agreement by which Yachting's owners transferred for $40000 the total outstanding stock common and preferred and the actual stock certificates themselves and the original agreement of Oswald Garrison Villard conferring for $15000 his title and interest in the magazine--name records and other assets; Yachting's corporate income tax returns for 1927 and 1933 and some later tax and real estate correspondence; a lengthy Price Waterhouse report concerning the history and financial condition of Yachting as of January 1924 and a less encouraging special balance sheet and P&L for 1933; a 1933 recapitulation of book sales; and balance sheets and stock certificates of related companies. Also included are two 4 x 7" black leatherette books "Tide Tables and Daily Log" for l937 and 1938 in which John C. Kennedy has recorded his daily activities from July 7 l937 thru December 31 1938. Of particular interest are the efforts made in the fall of 1937 to interest Roy E. Larsen of Time Inc. in the purchase of Yachting Magazine by Time--a proposition which Larsen declined. The entries for 1938 deal mostly with Kennedy's growing financial worries and the decline of his sister's and his own health: it comes as a shock to learn that the author of these almost unbearably poignant entries was only 50 years old. On June 28 Kennedy reports the transfer "which took away my last of Yachting after 15 yrs." In addition the archive contains the original certification of the familiar "Yachting" logo as a U.S. trade-mark registered June 3 1924; the original certificate registering the same in Canada dated January 20 1925; the unsigned carbon of a 1935 deposition by John C. Kennedy with accompanying schedule showing Yachting Inc.'s stock portfolio at the time of its sale in 1933 at a loss of $144000; the magazine's copy of a signed agreement to publish "The Model Yacht" by John O. Berg; a corrected draft of a document changing the corporate name of Yachting Inc. to Kelmo Corporation dated October 26 1939; 5 insurance policies with photostats of applications on the life of John C. Kennedy; his U.S. passport issued 1924; his autograph 2-pp enumeration of property to be divided among the heirs of his mother along with photographs and correspondence concerning her grave; and other papers including his agreement to lease from Jules S. Bache his 112-ft. diesel yacht "Colmena" for July and August 1931 for $13500--a unique souvenir of happier days. Altogether an archive of engrossing interest for the business and sporting historian alike. unknown
