Lisboa: Domingos Rodrigues 1757. First edition. Woodcut vignette to title-page. 7 blank pp. Small 4to. A very good copy some very faint dampstaining. First edition. Woodcut vignette to title-page. 7 blank pp. Small 4to. A Portuguese translation of General William Johnson's "Letter to the Governours of the Several Colonies who raised Troops on the Present Expedition" signed in the text "Wilhelmo Gonson." <br /> <br /> Not long after the commencement of the Seven Years' War Johnson was appointed British agent to the Iroquois. On 28 August 1755 he renamed Lac Saint Sacrement Lake George in honor of the British monarch and proceeded north as part of a four-pronged attack on the French specifically to capture the French-held Fort St. Frédéric at Crown Point. <br /> <br /> "It was not the greatest battle of the French and Indian War but it came when a victory was needed and the results were momentous. It retrieved both the glory and morale so badly depleted when Braddock fell at the forks of the Ohio the previous July. It blunted a French drive which menaced Albany and the northern frontier set up a new English outpost in that area and the capture of a distinguished French general Dieskau was triumph for the victors and humiliation for the enemy" Hamilton.<br /> <br /> The publication of this letter was of course a remarkable source of propaganda for the English and boosted Johnson's career signficantly. The letter was reprinted in London an engraved plan of the battle was produced as well as portrait. This Lisbon printing is however very rare and little known. It's not in COPAC there wasn't a copy in the Streeter Sale. In fact the last copy on the market we can find was in 1928. Not in Church; Sabin 38661; Maggs "Biblioteca Americana" IV 2998; Milton W.

(SHEFFIELD, UNITED KINGDOM -- STEEL MANUFACTURING -- AMERICAN CIVIL WAR)
Testament of the Sheffield Manufactories & c to Management of Consular Agent
Raymond M. Stevenson born 1840 was an American journalist in Pennsylvania who after service in the Union Army during the Civil War was appointed by Abraham Lincoln vice consul to the American Consul in Sheffield England a post he held until 1866 after which he headed west and resumed newspaper work in Colorado. DS 3pp lettersheet 8¼" X 13½" Sheffield Great Britain 12 February 1864. Addressed to R.M. Stevenson. Very good. On blue stationery a large group of makers of renowned "Sheffield steel "sign this letter to the new American consul. "In reply to your enquiries" it begins "we the undersigned Merchants and Manufacturers in Sheffield and the Neighborhood beg to say that your Consular Business has invariably been attended to with promptness and despatch and to express our entire satisfaction with your existing arrangements for the discharge of your official duties and also with the attention we have received from Messrs. Branson & Sonwith whom we have every confidence." It continues "We further beg to say that we consider your office to be most centrally and conveniently situated for the despatch of Consular Business having been used for that purpose for a great number of years and that you could not meet with an office in a more suitable Locality." The bottom this of this page is then signed by twenty persons and/or firm names the second leaf is signed by another twenty-one persons and/or firms and the third leaf is signed by twelve persons and/or firms. The first signer on the first page is Thomas Jessop who adds "Mayor & Master Cutler." Jessop1804-87 serves as mayor of Sheffield 1863-64 and headed the steelmaking firm founded by his father -- on the second leaf he signs the firm's name "Wm Jessop & Sons." Nearby is John Brown 1816-96 who adds "Ex Mayor." Brown was Jessop's predecessor in 1862-63 an important industrialist known as "Father of the South Yorkshire Iron Trade." He signs a second time as "John Brown & Co." on behalf of the firm. Other signers on this page and the subsequent pages in no particular order include: John Martin & Co. major steel manufacturer and iron exporter; Charles Cammell & Co. iron works; Hargreaves Smith & Co. knives of all sorts; Sanderson Brothers steel manufacturers; Spear & Jackson signed twice woodworking tools manufacturers; John Wigfall & Co. butchers' knives; S & C Wardlow knife and razor manufacturers; George Wostenholm & Son cutlery table knives and forks pen and pocket knives; Wilson Hawksworth Ellison & Co. butchers' and skinning knives; Moulson Brothers saws and tool manufacturer; Charles Wild 1823-86 knife manufacturer; William Wild 1810-69 spring-knife manufacturer; Joshpe Rodgers & Sons cutlers and silversmiths; Jackson Newton knife manufacturer; Frederick Reynolds 1814-77 razor manufacturer; Thomas Firth & Sons steelmakers to the field armaments industry; and many more. Scholar Lee Tigner notes in a 2017 essay that "Sheffield Cutlers were in full swing supplying the American demand through the Civil War. Sheffield steel would have been found in most pockets on the battlefield at Gettysburg." David Hay elaborates in a 2005 article that "Geoffrey Tweedale. has shown how the American market was largely responsible for the remarkable expansion of the Sheffield crucible steel industry between the Napoleonic Wars and the American Civil War. In good years a third or more of Sheffield's steel output was sent across the Atlantic in addition to the vast trade in cutlery and edge tools. Large fortunes were made from the American trade by the steel firms of Sanderson Jessop Vickers Greaves Butcher and Cammell." American steel manufacturing was scattered and unreliable in the mod 19th-century and while the federal government made attempts to reduce its heavy reliance on Sheffield steel including an 1861 tariff on imported goods the need remained strong and the North remained anxious that their supply lines remain open. A steady supply of iron and steel knives and edges weapons and material for gun manufactuting and all manner of other military uses was crucial to the federal government; there was concern that Great Britain would side with the Confederacy who was in far greater need for imported goods than was the North -- and indeed at least one Sheffield steel firm had refused to sell materials to the U.S. government. When young consul Stevenson was appointed by Lincoln to the steel-producing center of England one of his main charges would have been to insure the smooth steady supply of materials to the federal government. This intriguing document appears to be the Sheffield steel industry's attempt to assure the American government that they would remain faithful supplies for the Union cause. A pencilled note in unknown hand on the blank fourth leaf "Testament of the Sheffield Manufactories & c to Management of Consular Agent" gives title to this remarkable document. unknown

(Slavery, Lincoln Connection) Benjamin, Judah P. :
DEFENCE [SIC DEFENSE] OF THE NATIONAL DEMOCRACY AGAINST THE ATTACK OF JUDGE DOUGLAS- CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHTS OF THE STATES. SPEECH...OF LOUISIANA. DELIVERED IN THE UNITED STATES SENATE, MAY 22, 1860.
No Date (1860) 1st edition. No cover, as issued, with simple caption title at top, 8vo, 32 pages. The first Jew to serve in the U. S. Senate who did not renounce his Judaism, and future secretary of State for the Confederacy, Louisiana Senator Benjamin levels both barrels at Senator Stephen A. Douglas and his Popular Sovereignty doctrine. An important marker in the dismantling of the National Democratic Party. Signaling Southern repudiation of the Illinois Senator as the Democratic Party's presidential candidate, Benjamin argues that the South will be satisfied only by guarantees for the protection of slavery-- regardless of popular feeling-- in the Territories. In the course of arraigning Douglas, Benjamin discusses in some detail the former's debates with Abraham Lincoln in the Illinois senatorial contest two years earlier (the famous the Lincoln-Douglas Debates) . Sabin; 4701. SUBJECT(S) : Campaign literature -- United States. Slavery -- United States -- Extension to the territories. Presidents -- United States -- Election -- 1860. Campaign literature. Politics and government Presidents -- Election. Slavery -- Extension to the territories. Though several editions of the speech were published, this is the longest (32 pages) and scarcest edition, with only 15 copies listed in OCLC/Worldcat. Tiny notches in spine from earlier binding, Good+ Condition. (kh-5-59)

He stopped at the mouth of the bay late the night of April 30 and the following morning he gave the order to attack at first light saying the now famous words "You may fire when you are ready Gridley."
