The previous owner of the pamphlet was Richard Cranch the brother-in-law and a life-long friend of John Adams second President of the United States. Cranch married Mary Adam's Cranch the sister of Abigail Adams in 1762. Cranch worked primarily as a watchmaker and clock repairer in the Boston area. Cranch was a largely forgotten historical figure until Robert D. Mussey Jr. contacted the National Association of Watch and Clock Collectors NAWCC and offered to donate his extensive research materials on Cranch in 2021. In 2025 Andrew Dervin published "Richard Cranch: A Boston Colonial Watchmaker His Daybook and Horological Correspondence" NAWCC Publications. Simeon Howard 1733 - 1804 was Pastor of The West Church in Boston. This sermon was given in Boston for the annual election of the Honorable Council just as Massachusetts was finalizing its state constitution which was ratified later in 1780. Delivered mid-war the address reflects on civil governance Christian liberty and the duties of public rulers. John Gill unknown
1805réf. 59752Waitsfield Vermont 1805. Narrow tall folio approx. 15½" x 6¾" 112 pp. in ink five separately sewn signatures; a few pages loose some pages darkened or chipped at edges; some entries faint. This account book is the record of the practice of either Stephen Pierce or Simeon Stoddard practicing in Waitsfield Vermont between 1795 and 1806. These were the second and third physicians to have settled and practiced in Waitsfield. Most likely it is the record of Pierce who is supposed to have settled in Waitsfield in 1795. The first physician in Waitsfield Moses Heaton remained there only between 1793 and 1796. Depending on the source Pierce was the third physician to practice in Waitsfield and/or the first to practice in Moretown a settlement to the northeast of Waitsfield. He farmed as well as doctored and his farm lay mostly in Moretown his office in Waitsfield. He was a respected and successful physician who served the community in other capacities: as selectman representative delegate to the Constitutional Convention of 1814 and Assistant Judge of the County Court. One source claims that he succeeded Judge Kinne December 1 1814 and served one year and that he was a justice of the peace in Waitsfield. He died either in 1854 after living in Waterbury and Berlin Vermont or he died in Barnard in 1864. See: History of the Town of Waitsfield Vermont 1782-1908 by Matt Bushnell Jones Boston 1909 p. 182. Simeon Stoddard on the other hand was born December 12 1761 either in Saybrook Connecticut or in Waitsfield. On August 19 1784 he married Abiah Thompson who had been born in 1763 in Waitsfield. Some sources state that he moved to Waitsfield from Saybrook in 1794. He served the southwestern area of Waitsfield and died in 1841. This account book records each date of visit the householder's name the relationship of patient to householder the medicine prescribed and its price and the cost of the doctor's visit. The doctor whether it be Stoddard or Pierce treated thirty to forty patients each month and as many as fifty-six in December of 1801. He charged as little as 4 pence and as much as 42 shillings 10 pence for his services. As a comparison the tax on an acre of land in Waitsfield was 2 pence an acre. The poll tax list of 1795 showed fifty voters so the doctor seems to have treated the members of nearly every family. The diseases treated are not stated in the entries made but he seems to have prescribed antimonium tartaricum in many instances and also digitalis. Waitsfield was founded by Col. Benjamin Wait or Waite and others who were granted a charter on February 25 1782. Wait had served under Gen. Jeffery Amherst in the French and Indian Wars and had fought in the Revolutionary War. Both Waitsfield and Moretown are now somewhat renowned as the areas around Mad River a popular ski resort. Mad River has been remarkable from the settling of the area as the source of numerous sudden destructive and deadly floods. The Green Mountains the northern extent of the Appalachians rise just to the west of the town. The doctor records having treated members of the Wait family including Benjamin's wife Martha d. April 3 1804 Ezra Thomas and Gilbert. The family names of the community are listed making this a good source for early settlement history and genealogical research. Among the householders who required the doctor's services are Smolly Skinner Taylor Spalding Hitchcock Parkhurst Carpenter the family had a tannery and potash works Heaton Burdick Johnson Rider Fuller Symonds McNight Chamberlain Atherton Lyon Butterfield Barnave Osgood Foster Hobson Robinson Brun Latimer and Sherman. Many of the names appear often. unknown

1991réf. 52807Washington: Library of Congress 1991. Limited edition. Hardcover. Fine condition. 92/500. The Library's most important Hebrew illuminated manuscript is known as the "Washington Haggadah" because of its location in Washington D.C. A Haggadah the plural is haggadot is a liturgical work that is recited in the home at the festive evening meal of Passover in order to fulfill the biblical injunction Exodus 13:8 to recount the story of the Exodus to each generation. Haggadot are often illustrated the theory being that this will keep the children interested and awake during the reciting of the text. Completed on January 29 1478 the Washington Haggadah was signed by Joel ben Simeon a well-known scribe and artist responsible for more than a dozen other Hebrew illuminated manuscripts found in collections around the world. In addition to the full text of the Passover night liturgy the Washington Haggadah features stunningly intricate illuminated panels and a series of Passover illustrations that include depictions of "The Four Sons" "The Search for Leaven" and "The Messiah Heralded." The enduring popularity of Joel ben Simeon's miniatures is reflected in the many reproductions of his work that have appeared over the years in anthologies of Jewish art and manuscript painting. In 1991 the Library of Congress published this facsimile edition of the Washington Haggadah accompanied by a companion volume with a detailed scholarly description analysis and assessment of the manuscript. This edition faithfully preserves the original text with the Hebrew facsimile appearing in the original right-to-left orientation. It will be read and treasured by anyone interested in Jewish history medieval illuminated manuscripts and the history of the Haggadah. The Haggadah itself is bound in leather. The commentary by Myron Weinstein is a separate volume bound in cloth with both volumes encased in a cloth covered clamshell box. Library of Congress hardcover

Apparently lacking one plate in Volume 1 Relative Sizes of the Planets though there is no sign of this ever having been bound in. There are several extra plates to those listed and our copy would seem to agree with the set at auction at Christie's in 2006 which contained 246 of 248 plates. A work of considerable charm and interest and despite some faults as mentioned a remarkable set in original unsophisticated state. Simeon Ackroyd Shaw 1785 - 1859 was a 19th-century English scientific writer industrial historian and teacher. He spent his working life in the Staffordshire Potteries now the city of Stoke-on-Trent England. Shaw originated in Lancashire and as a young man he arrived in the Potteries to work on the Potteries Gazette and Newcastle-under-Lyme Advertiser newspaper. After some 20 years of newspaper and printing work living in Wolstanton he then went into teaching. He ran several teaching academies in the district. His first book was this 6-volume work which was based on his obviously very comprehensive series of popular short lectures on everything from natural species to meteorites. First Edition. Boards.

FREE UPGRADE to Courier/Priority Shipping Upon Request - IN STOCK AND IMMEDIATELY AVAILABLE FOR SHIPMENT - Flawless copy brand new pristine never opened -- 238 pp. ; 86 color illustrations. -- with a bonus offer--; After the Bible the Passover haggadah is the most widely read classic text in the Jewish tradition. More than four thousand editions have been published since the late fifteenth century but few are as exquisite as the Washington Haggadah which resides in the Library of Congress. Now a stunning facsimile edition meticulously reproduced in full color brings this beautiful illuminated manuscript to a new generation. Joel ben Simeon the creator of this unusually well-preserved codex was among the most gifted and prolific scribe-artists in the history of the Jewish book. David Stern’s introduction reconstructs his professional biography and situates this masterwork within the historical development of the haggadah tracing the different forms the text took in the Jewish centers of Europe at the dawn of modernity. Katrin Kogman-Appel shows how ben Simeon more than just a copyist was an active agent of cultural exchange. As he traveled between Jewish communities he brought elements of Ashkenazi haggadah illustration to Italy and returned with stylistic devices acquired during his journeys. In addition to traditional Passover images realistic illustrations of day-to-day life provide a rare window into the world of late fifteenth-century Europe. This edition faithfully preserves the original text with the Hebrew facsimile appearing in the original right-to-left orientation. It will be read and treasured by anyone interested in Jewish history medieval illuminated manuscripts and the history of the haggadah. . 2011. 0674051173 .

Mortier, 1741, in-12, XII-212 pp, 1 pl, Veau marbré de l'époque, dos à nerfs et fleuronné, encadrement d'un filet à froid sur les plats, tranches rouges, Ouvrage très rare, orné d'une grande planche dépliante gravée sur cuivre représentant le télescope de Newton et ses différentes pièces. Nouvelle édition, considérablement augmentée, de ce traité qui fut publié pour la première fois à Paris, en 1738, avec un titre sensiblement différent. Claude Siméon Passemant (1702-1769), qui tenait boutique au Louvre, fut l'un des plus remarquables constructeurs d'instruments d'optique de la première moitié du XVIIIe siècle. Il fut dans ce domaine le digne successeur de Bion, qui fut en quelque sorte son mentor, puisque c'est à la lecture du célèbre traité de ce dernier qu'il se prit de passion pour les instruments.

1908réf. 122897London: Privately Printed at the Chiswick Press 1908. A proud Jewish father publishes for his children First and only edition. A truly sumptuous piece of private publishing produced as a gift for the author's children and grandchildren handsomely printed at the Chiswick Press and finely bound by an unnamed binder of real quality. Among the varied pieces is "A Dream by One who Dreamt It" a prose fantasy conceived at the time of the Dreyfus case of a Jewish state "a beautiful land of very vast extent" where Jews driven out from the civilized countries of Europe by "hatred and envy of the race" live in paradisal self-government. The volume carries the bookplate of Bernard Alexander Isaac 1871-1938. If he is one of the children for whom the book was printed then "Pater" was Frederick Simeon Isaac c.1829-1915. With his siblings Benjamin and Alexander Frederick was a partner in Isaac & Samuel a City of London firm with worldwide interests. He was also a director of several South American utility and finance companies. In the 1871 Census he was described as a "South American merchant" and in the 1901 Census as a "financial merchant". He left £630000 including a range of legacies to Jewish charities. The book is likely to have been printed in small numbers and is unsurprisingly rare.
