1850réf. List2418Callao: Alsop and Company 1850. Folded ship manifest measuring 15 ¼ x 12 ½ inches. Fine condition with slight normal wear. A very scarce Gold Rush period shipping manifest for the Barque Equator captained by William Weir listing the passengers and cargo for a voyage to San Francisco in December of 1850 with notations showing the vessel’s arrival in San Francisco in May of 1851. Alsop & Co. was the work of Joseph Alsop the grandson of Continental Congress delegate John Alsop and his friend Henry Chauncey. Originally from Middletown Connecticut the pair established Alsop & Co. in New York City in 1824 and would eventually play a large role in the gold trade in California and trade extensively in South and Central America. Chauncey Alsop and others were among the partners in the trans-Panamanian railway that helped transform trans-continental trade in 1850. One of Alsop & Co.’s treasure boxes was aboard the S.S. Central America when it sank in 1857 carrying gold to the Eastern United States from Panama. The shipping manifest offered here lists the primary cargo as 195 tons of coal and also lists the names of fourteen passengers on the voyage. Imported coal - from Callao in this case - was essential to heat houses and run furnaces at factories including assay offices before the development of a local coal industry in California. We find only two instances of Gold Rush-era ship manifests - which were usually thrown away - surfacing in the trade or auction records this one and one other which sold for $3600 at PBA Galleries in 2014.

1849réf. BK0028Fort Gibson Cherokee Nation 1849. Autograph letter signed "Benj. Wingate" three pages with integral address leaf to Arba L. Hardy Lexington Scott County Indiana bearing manuscript "Fort Gibson C.N." postmark dated January 8 and manuscript "Paid 10." 7 ¾ x 10 inches. Light toning and edge wear otherwise very good. A substantial letter by Benjamin Wingate Mexican-American War veteran and future namesake of Fort Wingate New Mexico written during his frontier service at Fort Gibson in the Cherokee Nation. Responding to news that the execution of a man named Clark had been delayed Wingate launches into a lengthy and forceful rejection of capital punishment: "You speak of Clark's execution in your letter that it did not take place at the appointed time but to express an opinion on the subject I hope that it never did take place; do not understand me to say that I want him to go unpunished. I should be very sorry to hear that there has been a man hanged in old Scott. I know but little of the circumstances concerning the case but if indeed he be guilty of murder he should be punished and that punishment should be such as to not take his life as there is doubtless many other ways of inflicting punishment besides taking life . I hold the opinion to be a sound one that man should not take the life of his fellow man except in self defense and then not if it could be avoided. I look upon the law of punishing capital offences as being barbarous and savage in the extreme. It is a subject that the attention of the law making or legislating power should be called to act on." Living amid the Indigenous nations of Indian Territory Wingate makes a comparison with the customs around him: "The present law is more barbarous if possible than the laws and customs of the Indians in this part of the country. If a rich Indian kills a poor Indian he can make atonement for the crime by paying a certain sum of money but if one Indian kills another Indian and is not able to pay for him they kill him in return." Fort Gibson established within Cherokee country was one of the principal U.S. military posts in Indian Territory and Wingate's comments come from a young Army officer living within that environment. The comparison is striking precisely because he uses what he understands as Native retaliatory justice as the measure by which to criticize American law. The letter then turns to family gossip and politics. Wingate jokes that the election of Zachary Taylor meant "that the Whigs are as badly whipped as they was when they elected J. Tyler" anticipating that Taylor would "doubtless have to take a trip up salt river if he is not burnt in effigy by the Whigs before that time." More appealing personally was the news then pouring out of California. In January 1849 with the Gold Rush only beginning to transform American migration westward Wingate was already considering abandoning the Army: "I have been thinking very strong for some time of resigning and going to California but I am not off yet nor I don't know that I will get off soon if at all. But whether I should or should not go it is certainly a very great opening for a young man to make a fortune in a short time if there is any confidence to be placed in reports." He remained instead in military service. Wingate had fought in Mexico at Cerro Gordo and subsequently served on the frontier in Oklahoma Texas Utah and New Mexico. He was mortally wounded at the Battle of Valverde during the Civil War; Fort Wingate established in New Mexico later in 1862 was named in his honor.

1763réf. 0001650On offer is a pre-Revolutionary plantation rental agreement between a Philadelphia shopkeeper and a Springfield millwright featuring notes that connect multiple family and business ties in late 18th-century Philadelphia and Chester counties. The rental memorandum is the work of Philadelphia-based lawyer Paul Isaac Voto whose office was located at "the corner of Black Horse Alley in Second Street." The agreement was drafted between Mr. John Gailbreath often spelled Galbreath or Gilbreath in other historical documentation c. 1717–1766 a shopkeeper whose store was located "in Second Street between Market and Chestnut streets" and the prospective renter millwright Richard Hall of Springfield Chester County. Historical documents show that Hall also owned property in the region. Dated May 1763 the rental memorandum indicates that John Gailbreath ".letts his house and plantation in Springfield… for one year from the date hereof to… Richard Hall paying the rent of twenty seven pounds…" The agreement lays out several rules of tenancy including the following examples: "The Tenant is to have Liberty to reap his Corn and Thrash it in the Barn after the time is over leaving the Thaw and Chatt…" ".the Tenant agrees not to take any Hay Straw or Dung off the Premises…" ".the Tenant agrees to… keep the House… and Premises in repair as good as now… shall not keep more fires in the House but only one in the kitchen and one in another room and… not to cut any timber or wood But in the Back Field joining to Crosiers Croziers Plantation…" A caveat on the verso of the lease agreement states that ".If John McCoy do not think it proper to rent the place it shall be lett to James Cochran John Cairnes son in law at 26 pounds…" According to historical news documents Galbreath was traveling in 1763 and appears to have entrusted a Chester County contact with the final decision on the rental in his absence. The document is signed by Hall but not Galbreath. Its delivery was witnessed by Paul Isaac Voto and Elyha Taylor and the original seal is present. This document provides not only insight into property rights legal agreements and plantation rentals in pre-Revolutionary Pennsylvania but it also offers genealogical data to support research on the still-incomplete history of early Pennsylvania families. These include the Cairnes Voto Hall Cochran and Crozier or Crosier families among others. While some 18th-century newspaper data exists digitally to assist with ongoing research these being the sources used to find the location of the subjects' businesses this document remains an invaluable primary source for those interested in 18th-century life movement and genealogical links. Condition: Significant age toning folding and micro-tears with significant tearing in one corner. The document is written in ink with a clear legible hand and remains in good condition for its age. Overall: Fair to Good.

1836réf. 45698Paris: Imprimerie Royale. Very Good. First Edition. Hardcover. Collection de Documents Inedits sur L'Histoire de France.; 4to; 2 ff. CCIII p. 1 f. 677 p. 1 f pages; Quarto. The first leaf is a half title for the series in which this is a particularly distinguished individual publication: "Collection de Documents Inedits sur L'Histoire de France." Contemporary brown half morocco over marbled paper-covered boards five shallow raised bands on the spine which has three labels lettered in gilt -- two series titles and the specific title of Abelards previously unpublished work. Marbled endpapers and edges of the text block cut polished and marbled -- all matching the boards. The binding shows only trifling wear. There are very light marks of damp to the blank upper and lower margins of some of the leaves scattered throughout. The binding shows no evidence of this; this may have affected the paper before binding. Following his long introduction in French 203 pp. = CCIII enumerated in Roman Numerals Victor Cousin has divided the contents of this important introduction to some of the works of Abelard into print into sections: logically the first is Abelard's major philosophical work: 'Sic et non.' This is followed by Dialectica; Fragmentum Germanense da generibus et speciebus; Glossae in Porphyrium; Glossae in Categorias; Glossiae in librum de Interpretatione; and Glossae in Topica Boethii." In the popular mind Abelard is best known for his passionate and ultimately tragic love affair with Heloise d'Argenteuil who had been his brilliant student and who eventually became his wife. Those who would find this book appealing hardly need be told that Peter Abelard was a leading medieval French scholastic philosopher. In fairness considering his wide range of thought and teachingAbelard must also be assessed as a logician theologian teacher musician composer and poet. Some view him as the "Descartes of the twelfth century." Abelard coined the very term "theology" -- it seems impossible to study that field deeply without assessing his thought and achievement. In our own times Pope Benedict XVI who found himself in opposition to Abelard's conception of the trinity untimately found that St. Bernard's "theology of the heart" and Abelard's "theology of reason" represent the importance of healthy theological discussion and humble obedience to the authority of the Church. The editor of this significant contribution to the history of Philosophy Victor Cousin was himself a highly distinguished philosopher lecturer and administrator of public instruction. He earned a high reputation as a classical scholar in addition to his achievements as a philosopher Sandys in his 'History of Classical Scholarship' makes a point of mentioning Cousin's important work on the lesser works of Abelard -- "professor at the Sorbonne in 1815-22 and 1828-30 and Minister of Education in 1840. He is connected with Greek scholarship by his editio princeps of Proclus 1820-7 and by his French rendering of the whole of Plato 1821-40. He threw new light on the lesser-known works of Abelard and contributed to the elucidation of the history of the scholastic philosophy." vol. III p. 251. Cousin is especially noted for his mastery of German; during his lengthy travels and residences in parts of German Cousin came to know Hegel and Friedrich Wilhelm Joseph Schelling. Cousin can be considered the the founder of "eclecticism" which combined elements of German idealism and Scottish "Common Sense" Realism. For political reasons Cousin was forbidden to teach and lecture publically in France for nearly a decade. When he was allowed to resume his lectures at the Sorbonne the crowds gathering to hear him are said to have rivelled those who lined up in Paris to see Peter Abelard at the high point of his influce seven hundred years before. There is a much-quoted assessment of Cousin's own merits and achievements as a philosopher from a significant English philosopher Sir William Hamilton -- whose own thinking it must be noted was resolutely opposed to Cousin's. Hamilton wrote: "Cousin was a profound and original thinker a lucid and eloquent writer a scholar equally at home in ancient and in modern learning a philosopher superior to all prejudices of age or country party or profession and whose lofty eclecticism seeking truth under every form of opinion traces its unity even through the most hostile systems." . 1836.
