From Smith's multi-sheet Special-Karte one of the most detailed and accurate mid-19th-century maps of the United States. John Calvin J. Calvin Smith c.18091890 was an American surveyor geographer and engraver active in New York City from the 1840s. Working with partners including George Sherman under the Sherman & Smith imprint 18401853 and later in association with J.H. Colton Smith produced some of the most accurate and widely used general-purpose maps of the United States of his era. His maps appeared in government publications military surveys and commercial atlases and his multi-sheet Special-Karte der Vereinigten Staaten published in a German-language edition brought American cartographic standards to European audiences.

1611réf. 132719London: John Norton 1611. Rare 1611 edition of Calvin's seminal work on systematic theology regarded as one of the most influential works of Protestant theology. Quarto bound in three quarter calf with five raised bands to the spine elaborate architectural borders to the title page woodcut headpieces and tailpieces. In good condition. Upper portion of title page removed. Written as an introductory textbook on the Protestant creed for those with some previous knowledge of theology John Calvin's Institutes of the Christian Religion was first published in Latin in 1536. The text covers theological topics from the doctrines of church and sacraments to justification by faith alone and Christian liberty. It vigorously attacked the teachings of those Calvin considered unorthodox particularly Roman Catholicism. The Institution Of Christian Religion overshadowed earlier Protestant theologies and is regarded as a classic in theology on the level of Augustine's The City of God and Aquinas's Summa Theologica.

1929réf. 184437New York: Cosmopolitan Book Corporation 1929. Presentation copy of the limited edition Signed limited edition presentation copy inscribed by the author on the front free endpaper: "To Frederick W. Skiff with regards Calvin Coolidge". This is number 177 of 1000 copies signed by the 30th President. Skiff 1867-1947 was a prominent collector and author of Adventures in Americana 1935 and Landmarks and Literature 1937. Coolidge's memoirs chart his rise from a lawyer to Massachusetts governor vice-president and finally president. Coolidge's emphasis on low taxes and laissez-faire economics fuelled the Roaring Twenties. While some blame these policies as leading to the 1929 Crash he remains an icon for the American conservative movement; Ronald Reagan placed his portrait in the White House Cabinet Room. Octavo. Original blue quarter cloth grey marbled boards spine lettered in gilt top edge gilt others untrimmed. Housed in the original card slipcase. Very minor wear at slipcase extremities: a fine copy in near-fine slipcase. hardcover

1929réf. 013152Washington: U.S. Government Printing Office 1929. First Edition. Hardcover. Fine and exceptionally scarce item with a superb association. Small octavo 5-1/2" x 7-1/2" bound in flexible blue morocco leather lettered in gilt including Coolidge's name at the bottom right and decorated in gilt with stars in the corners and the Presidential coat-of-arms in the center. With a printed title page but the 19 text pages mimeographed rather than printed on paper with three holes in the gutter margin. Obviously a very limited production likely printed for Coolidge's personal use and quite possibly unique. OCLC does not record any printed copy of this speech though it lists about 70 others. Given the same day as the 1927 State of the Union address this speech was given to a much smaller more selective audience. In the audience was William Butler a Massachusetts Senator who was Coolidge's campaign manager and the Republican Party Chairman. This is his copy and is INSCRIBED and SIGNED to him by the President two days before Coolidge left office: "To Honorable William M. Butler/In appreciation of a long and/faithful friendship/ Calvin Coolidge /The White House/March 1 1929." In the third sentence of his speech Coolidge acknowledges Butler: "Both the primary and the election were under the immediate direction of the present Chairman William M. Butler." In his AUTOBIOGRAPHY Coolidge remarks: "The campaign was magnificently managed by William M. Butler." Two minor text corrections in ink likely by Coolidge.

Sig: 10 a-z8 A-Z8 Aa-Hh8 mid-19th-century half morocco The very rare posthumous first edition first printing known as type a with all the typographical characteristics capitals in the fifth line of the title in Roman letter ii instead of ij and identical initials on ii and p.1. This edition contains a preface by Théodore de Bèze Calvin's successor in the form of an exhortation to the head of the Protestants in France Admiral Gaspard de Coligny. Another edition by the same printer appeared a few months later in French translation. Thirty-four lines per page woodcut initials printer's device. Mid-19th century half navy blue morocco by Galette spine in six compartments with richly decorated frames marbled pastedowns and endpapers all edges red. Two corners slightly rubbed small repair to upper inside margin of title a few leaves repaired in margins occasional marginal dampstaining. Contemporary inscription to title. Calvin began his lessons on Ezekiel on the 20th January 1562. Very soon however his state of health compelled him to call upon Théodore de Bèze's help. In a letter to the Daniel family François Perrot notes this double teaching: Our good tutor and common father has got into the habit of commenting on Ezekiel still in hand which is to say on the first three days every second week this year while our Théodore in his turn is commenting on the Catechism in Greek the first three days of the week.Because of his illness Calvin can often hardly finish his bit. Calvin interrupted his unfinished lessons once and for all on the 2nd February 1564. These lessons on the first twenty chapters of the revelations of the Prophet Ezekiel are the last preached by Calvin before his death on the 27th May 1564. Like the previous lessons these too were collected in Latin by Jean Budé and Calvin's secretary Charles de Jonviller who on the 9th October 1564 asked the Council for permission to have printed the lessons of Monseigneur Calvin on the first 20 chapters of Ezekiel reviewed by the deceased. Agreed that he has permission for as many as Monseigneur de Bèze has witnessed. In his dedicatory epistle to Admiral de Coligny de Bèze who succeeded Calvin to the Chair of Theology at the Academy pays elegant homage to his friend and spiritual guide: In him we find the only person in our time who has left behind so many works which contain so whole and so pure a doctrine. But that it had pleased God to leave us the benefit of this shining light for another year or two; it seems to me in truth that one could not demand a more perfect knowledge of the Old and New Testaments.His death of which he was forewarned prevented his finishing Ezekiel which is all the greater a loss to the Church since he was the most obscure of the Prophets as we know.and who knows when we will find someone to complete this painting begun by our Apelles. Only 16 copies in various libraries of the first printing cf. Bibliotheca Calviniana. A handsome and very rare copy of the first printing with good margins. Ex officina Francisci Perrini unknown

A beautiful and fascinating accompaniment to the official records of the Civil War. Each massive plate is either an impressively detailed and informative map or contains multiple images providing detailed plans of cities towns and fortresses views panoramas uniforms battlefields bridges engagements lookouts etc. etc. The maps and plans were primarily reproduced from those that had been drawn during the war by engineers draftsmen and sometimes even generals themselves for actual military use. Only a few maps drawn later by cartographers were added for historical purposes. Tactical and strategic maps indicate troop disposition; defense lines redoubts and fortifications of key sites are clearly shown. Terrain maps often contain picket positions signal stations and lines of march. Some were taken from what had been only rough sketches some from cartographic masterpieces. All are informative and reveal the knowledge or lack of knowledge that both sides possessed about the terrain and the strength and the position of opposing troops. The index to the maps refers to campaigns and battles rivers creeks lakes bays islands bridges fords ferries landings roads railroads mountains towns churches forts and much more. An indispensable source of information and imagery from the American Civil War. The atlas was not reprinted till 1958. Government Printing Office hardcover

Near Fine with limited smudging and staining prelims vertically creased small circular chip to title page ink splotch to tail edge scant pen notations in tidy and minuscule hand two tiny worm holes from rear terminating at p. 432 and 313 of the Harmony. Otherwise a very clean and fresh copy. French theologian John Calvin intended to compile a "Harmony of the Law" combing the five Books of Moses for paranetic sayings and sorting them according to a Decalogue rubric. This was novel approach among Christian scholars following the precedent of many medieval rabbis whom Calvin cites regularly. Here we see in Calvin's final discourse on the Law the full flowering of his thought on the matter which had come to occupy so much of his concern in the final edition of the Institutes four years prior. Occupying 286 pages in the heart of the book it stands as Calvin's most mature and sustained treatment of the law a masterful legal treatise in addition to its theological and exegetical dimensions. He brought the full powers of his renaissance humanist training to bear on one of the few segments of Scripture on which he had not published: the final four books of Moses. Following a revised edition of his translation and commentary on Genesis he sought to do for the deuteronomic books what he had previously done in his Harmony of the Gospels. Strikingly he was the first commentator-- Jewish or Christian-- to attempt a harmony of the Torah. With his cherished literary ideals of clarity and brevity Calvin explicitly sought to avoid duplication of comment where the scriptural writer is redundant. In the process he reorganizes the narrative structure implementing the textual critical skills he learned in Paris as a law student. In spite of Calvin's own piety and insistence that he is not seeking to improve upon the given form of Scripture many have found here the spores which would germinate in the higher critical movement of the coming centuries. In addition to the narrative restructuring Calvin organizes all legal passages of the Torah under the rubric of the 10 commandments a first among Christian scholars following the precedent of many medieval rabbis whom he cites regularly.
