‎London: Henry Berthoud 1822. First. hardcover. good. followed by Teatro Critico Americano; or a Critical Investigation and Research in into the History of the Americans. By Paul Felix Cabrera. 19 lithograph plates one folding. xiii 128pp. 4to later 19th century 1/2 black morocco morocco worn near spine ends and on front cover edges of boards lightly worn very light foxing to some page margins including margins of most plates ex-lib. London Henry Berthoud 1822. First Edition<br/><br/> "Captain Del Rio examined the now famous ruins of Palenque in 1787 but his manuscript report remained in the provincial archives of Guatemala until a short time prior to their translation and publication in the present form. The translator gave so literal a version that he did not change the references in the body of the work which referred to drawings that had been irrecoverably lost. Captain Del Rio's Report occupies pp. 1 to 21 and in the remainder of the work Dr. Cabrera attempts to establish the theory that the figures upon the monuments of Palenque prove a connection between the Egyptians and the Aboriginal race which constructed them.From the occurrence of an eclipse recorded 291 years before Christ corresponding with the same date in the Mexican calendar he constructs a table of the Mexican years." Field 231. "The first published work on Mayan archaeology." Sabin 71446. The plates are by Jean Frederick Maximilien de Waldeck after Ricardo Almendariz.

‎HUDSON RIVER RAILROAD‎

‎Hudson River and the Hudson River Railroad: with a complete map and wood cut views of the principal objects of interest upon the line‎

‎New York: Wm. C. Locke & Co 1851. Wrappers chipped at edges professionally rebacked some unobtrusive offsetting on map. 8vo. 50 pages. Large folding map on three joined sheets 21 x 1788 cm; 8.25 x 61.75 inches. 11 woodblock illustrations in text and with 2 more not recorded in the index but always present. Original printed wrappers with woodblock vignette. SCARCE Hudson River Railroad travel guide published the first year in which the full line was completed. It covers points of interest along the route with woodblocks illustrating the text. Topics include: the history of the Hudson River the history of the construction of the Hudson River Railroad and the cities towns and villages along the Hudson from New York City all the way to Troy.  Concerning the West Point Foundry at Cold Spring the guide states: "the iron foundry was established here by Gouverneur Kemble. The works are situated about a mile west of the village upon a small stream which tumbles rapidly down the mountains affording considerable water power. It is the largest establishment of its kind in the country employing nearly five hundred hands constantly." The building of the Hudson River Railroad is another topic in the guide. The project was considered highly impractical since much of the route had to be cut through extremely difficult rock and terrain. This section includes a description of the tunnels which had to be constructed.  The railroad was opened in three stages. In September 1849 it allowed passengers to travel from New York to Peekskill. By that December 6 twenty-three additional miles were opened extending to New Hamburg. By the 31st of the month it was open the remaining distance of nine miles to Poughkeepsie.  The Hudson River Railroad was an extension of the Troy and Greenbush Railroad which was chartered in 1845 connecting Troy South to Greenbush now Rensselaer on the east side of the Hudson. The Hudson River Railroad was chartered on May 12 1846 to extend this line south to New York City. The full line opened on October 3 1851 the same year in which this travel guide was published. WorldCat/OCLC records 25 copies but it is scarcely found complete with the map and the map is also excluded from the digitized versions available online. <br/><br/> Wm. C. Locke & Co unknown books‎
