1837ref. 153292Paris: Bachelier 1837. Applying probability theory to criminology First edition of Poisson's important work on the probability of criminal and civil verdicts "in large part a treatise on probability theory after the manner of Laplace with an emphasis on the behaviour of means of large numbers of measurements" Stigler pp. 182-3. "The legitimacy of the application of the calculus to areas relating to the moral order that is to say within the broad area of what is now called the humanistic sciences was bitterly disputed beginning in 1820 in politically conservative circles as well as by Saint-Simonians and by such philosophers as Auguste Comte. Poisson was bold enough to take pen in hand to defend the universality of the probabilistic thesis and to demonstrate the conformability to the order of nature of the regularities that the calculus of probability without recourse to hidden causes reveals when things are subjected to a great number of observations. It is to Poisson that we owe the term 'law of large numbers'. He improved Laplace's work by relating it explicitly to Jacob Bernoulli's fundamental theorem and by showing that the invariance in the prior probabilities of mutually exclusive events is not a necessary condition for calculating the approximate probabilities. It is also from Poisson that we derive the study of a problem that Laplace had passed over the case of great asymmetry between opposite events such that the prior probability of either event is very small" DSB.

ref. 69440IDE Simeon. A Biographical Sketch of the Life of William B. Ide: With A Minute and Interesting Account of One of the Largest Emigrating Companies. 3000 Miles over land From the East to the Pacific Coast. And What is Claimed as the Most Authentic and Reliable Account of "The Virtual Conquest of California in June 1846 By the Bear Flag Party." Claremont N.H.: Printed for the subscribers 1880. 22391pp. Half title. 12mo. Original blue cloth stamped in black and gilt. Some staining and soiling to boards minor edge wear. Hinges tender bookplate removed from front pastedown. Internally clean. Very good. Presentation copy of the first edition inscribed by Simeon Ide to the Hon. Uriel Crocker on a front flyleaf. Also includes a brief pencil correction on p.93 likely in Ide's hand. William Ide emigrated to California in 1845. In 1846 after rumors that the Mexican Republic was going to expel all non-citizens he led a group of settlers in what became known as the Bear Flag Revolt after the California Bear Flag raised as they took control of the Sonoma pueblo. Ide was named Commander of the California Republic. Most of the party afterwards joined Lt. Col. John C. Fremont in seizing California from Mexico. Uriel Crocker was a founder of leading Boston publishers Crocker & Brewster and later sat on the board of several railroad companies including Atlantic & Pacific Railroad the South Pacific Railroad and the St. Louis & San Francisco Railroad. "This SKETCH contains an account of the early years of W.B. Ide recollections by his daughter of the family's trip across the plains to California in 1845 and an account of the Bear Flag revolt of 1846 as told by Ide to his brother in 1849 and in a letter to a Senator Wambough which as Ide died in 1852 must have been written within a few years of the event. An interesting account of the overland journey of 1845 and important source on the beginnings of American rule in California in 1846." - Streeter. The work is also important in that it is one of the few overland journals written from the point of view of a woman Ide's daughter who at eighteen accompanied her father west in 1845 and is unique in its exclusive treatment of the Bear Flag Revolt. Howes speculates that this first edition printed by the author at the age of eighty-six on a handpress "was prob. unknown
1804ref. 4307506Sydney: Government House 1804. Folded and a little aged yet very good condition. Vellum sheet measuring 330 x 230 mm. with manuscript notations to both faces including a site-sketch with measurements. Early Sydney lease signed by Governor Philip Gidley King for an allotment in the centre of Sydney Town with a sketch of the site executed and signed by colonial surveyor George William Evans. Simeon Lord emancipee and to become a prominent mercantile figure in the Colony was apparently keen to acquire this allotment for he paid the considerable sum of £325 for the remainder of the lease in 1807. The location of the lease in the immediate vicinity of the Dry Store on Spring Row later Castlereagh Street was ideal for a merchant. Earlier he had constructed his private residence in close proximity to the Dry Store allowing officers of merchant vessels docked in the harbour to stay in his house while remaining close to valuable cargo and merchandise held in the Dry Store. King was a pivotal figure in the early history of Australian settlement. His skill as a naval officer attracted the respect of Captain Arthur Phillip who selected him as second lieutenant of the First Fleet convict transport Sirius. Prior to assuming the position of Governor in 1800 King served in Sydney and Norfolk Island and was widely respected for his skilled leadership through the difficult early years of settlement. Governor King awarded the seven year lease to Thomas Randall in May 1804 for a ground rent of 10 shillings per year. The subsequent early history of the site is recorded in two manuscript notes detailing further sale contracts to the reverse of this lease. It was first sold on to Edward Wells who then on-sold the lease to Sydney merchant Simeon Lord the prominent colonial entrepreneur who rose from humble beginnings Lord was transported to New South Wales in 1791. He began his trading career selling rum outside the monopoly controlled by the officers of the New South Wales Corps and later invested in land shipping and manufacturing throughout the colony. This lease is noteworthy for the inclusion of the site sketch by George Evans the colony's surveyor from 1803 but also a notable early colonial artist and inland explorer. The grant is fully signed 'Philip Gidley King' and the sketch is likewise signed 'G.W. Evans acting surveyor'. Examples of Gidley King's signature are uncommon on the market and this grant is not listed in the standard reference Land Grants 1788-1809 edited by R.J. Ryan. . Government House unknown
