1854rif. List3733Vandalia Springfield and Coles County Illinois 1854. Eight documents totaling about 75 pages 7 ¾ x 12 ½ inches and 7 ½ x 12 inches. Generally folded with toning at folds occasional small stains and minor damage to margins; one with more extensive repairs made with thread; entirely legible. Overall excellent. A collection of official documents from the Illinois auditor's and Coles County collector's offices recording mainly lists of properties in Coles County that had become subject to taxation with two recording properties owing back taxes and one recording tax delinquencies caused by assessment error. The lists of properties newly subject to taxation generally indicate the year in which the land was entered-that is when a settler had filed a claim with the federal land office registering intent to settle-and the year in which that land became subject to taxation. These lands were not immediately taxable as the settler first had to meet certain legal requirements such as living on and cultivating the land before the government would issue a patent transferring the title of the property from the federal government to the individual and thereby making them liable for taxes on it. The first Euro-American settlers had come to what would be Coles County in 1824 and it was set off from Clark County in 1830. That same year the Indian Removal Act passed Congress and the remaining Indigenous tribes in the region-many had already left following treaties earlier in the century-were pushed west of the Mississippi River. The federal government could then survey and map the land and open it to entry and patent by settlers like those represented in these tax rolls. The earliest dated entries recorded in these documents are from 1835 and were patented in 1841 though some entries likely occurred earlier as one document lists entries patented in 1838 but does not list entry date representing some of the earliest legal Euro-American settlements in the county. These documents thus record the incorporation of newly federally-owned "frontier" land into private ownership and into the county and state economy and implicitly the placement of previously tribally stewarded land into the hands of its first settlers. Also of interest in the documents are the signatories themselves. These include Albert Compton William Lee D. Ewing and Thomas Hayes Campbell prominent early Illinois political figures; but also Levi Davis a close friend of Abraham Lincoln's and James Shields one of Lincoln's best-known political rivals. Shields and Lincoln nearly fought a duel in 1842 after Lincoln criticized Shields' work as Illinois State Auditor-the same office in which Shields signed one of the Coles County tax rolls preserved here. Men like these occupied a layer of early Illinois society distinct from many of the settlers whose lands appear in the records: lawyers auditors legislators and political figures who linked frontier communities to the emerging institutions of state government. Coles County itself also held personal significance within Lincoln's world as the home of his father Thomas Lincoln and stepmother Sarah Bush Lincoln.

"The Eliot Arms or Square & Compass Square and Compass Tregadilett was once a Freemason’s Lodge for French prisoners of war on parole in Launceston: History supplied by R. F. Gilbert The original building was built in the 14th century and it became a coaching inn during 1625. The Inn fell into disarray in the early 19th century becoming a blacksmith’s shop until 1840 when it reverted back to a pub and the second name ‘Eliot Arms’ was added. The French POW’s lodge is thought to have existed for five to seven years of the war and this is shown by two certificates of ‘The Lodge Consulate Maconne’ dated 1762 and 1763; one in French and one in English issued to Robert Martin organist at St Mary Magdalene Church. Both certificates had French signatures five on the one of 1762 and four on the other dated 1763. Several of the Frenchmen joined the Dunheved Lodge which must have existed during 1756-1773. The Eliot is reputed to be haunted by a not unfriendly ghost which is said to have been seen by customers and staff in recent years. Mr T Richards landlord of the Eliot Arms Compass made an application to the Bench for an hours extension on the occasion of the Polyphant Cricket Club dinner given by Dr Serpell. The application was granted. ." from The Post and Weekly Feb 1911; Put in world history. Pictured 12/5/23 . 1920. The Eliot Arms Hotel unknown

1775rif. 3823The complete text of the Causes and Necessity of their Taking Up Arms appears on pages 2 and 3 of the newspaper. The Second Continental Congress convened in Philadelphia on May 10 1775 only about seven months after the First Continental Congress had adjourned. But with the battles at Lexington and Concord occurring in April 1775 hostilities had begun and the Congress needed to act. The action was the issuance on July 6 of the "Causes and Necessity of Taking Up Arms" a pivotal founding document that laid out the colonies' justification for war while making it clear that it was a defensive action and not a declaration of independence. An initial draft of the Causes was rejected by the Congress as being too harsh. Thomas Jefferson and John Dickinson produced the new draft which the Congress approved. In the end the Causes was a masterful blend of airing grievances and reaching out for reconciliation while also clearly stating that independence was on the table if necessary. While the British Parliament was the primary intended audience of the Causes it was also critical that the document satisfy the strongly divided Congress itself. At the time there was extreme tension between those advocating for independence and those in favor of a peaceful reconciliation. The final document provided enough justification to satisfy both sides - and allowed the journey to nationhood to continue to the next watershed moment the Declaration of Independence just a year later. In addition to the important publication of the Causes this issue of the Virginia Gazette includes a brief mention debunking a report of an engagement in the days following that at Bunker Hill. It also prints "General Gage's false and audacious account of the late battle near Boston Bunker Hill." As an aside it should be noted that during 1775 there were three newspapers all named the Virginia Gazette and all published concurrently in Williamsburg. They are easily distinguished by their respective publishers Pinkney in the case of the offered newspaper. A rare and important paper very nicely preserved.

1856rif. AQ242771856. Manuscript on paper. Single bifolium. With original stamped envelope. Old horizontal and vertical folds. Short tears at folds cross-written on terminal page. Envelope worn and soiled. An autograph letter in the hand of private Thomas Arms of the 12th Royal Lancers addressed to his sister written at Scutari Istanbul 17th January 1856 two months prior to the cessation of hostilities during the Crimean War. Arms references his participation in the Battle of Tchernaïa the fall of Sebastopol and the conditions he and his fellow soldiers had to endure: 'You wished for some small token from Sebastopol but I had nothing but a Russian musket and bayonet and those I sold to one of our officers as I have no means of sending it to England.things are very dear 1lb of bread here is 1/6 meat we cannot buy for any price we give 2 shillings for a bottle of porter or ale and we are only getting half allowance of rum to what we used to get and there it is a great deal of gambling amongst the troops'. The cross-written portion of the letter is of particular note for a passing mention of reformer of army medical services and of nursing organisation Florence Nightingale 1820-1910: 'Dear sister their sic are some kind ladies in these hospitals and kind nurses here to attend upon you. Miss Nightingale is here and Miss Roberts and some more very amicable from England'. . unknown

The first article produced on the eve of Indian independence begins: 'Moscow radio broadcast an account of a lecture given by Corresponding Member of the USSR Academy of Sciences Zhukove on "The Situation in India" at the Polytechnical Museum in Moscow.' It proceeds with a summary of Zhukov's lecture the view he expounds including the following: 'Britain's new policy derives from the economic changes which took place in India during the years of the Second World War. India's big bourgeoisie made profits from the war and have become richer and at the same time more compliant towards Britain. The bourgeoisie's fear of the popular masses is greater than their fear of Britain.' The second articles is pure propaganda beginning: 'A vast territory of over 1158000 sq. miles lies in the North-East of the Soviety Union. In Tsarist days it was known as "the Siberia of Siberia." It is now the Yakut Autonomous Soviet Socialist Republic - a part of the Russian Federation - which is just celebrating the 25th anniversary of its foundation says a TASS message.'
