Odds and Ends in Prose and Verse.

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.

NEWTON, IsaacBiblio.com

Copies of all Reports or Memorials made by Sir Isaac Newton When Master of His Majesty's Mint

1813réf. 117185London: H.M.S.O. 1813. First edition thus of Newton's reports to the Privy Council or the Treasury during his position of Master of His Majesty's Mint the report signed and dated in print 21 September 1717. Newton was first appointed warden of the Mint in May 1696 rising to the position of Master following the death of Thomas Neale in December 1699. "Macaulay avers in his history that Newton - independently I suppose of his public action in reference to the Re-Coinage - has left no exposition of his opinions touching the currency. The eloquent historian thus leaves out of view the well-known report of 1717 upon which was based the reduction of the Guinea from 21 shillings and 6 pence to 21 shillings. It would seem then that the doctrinal importance of this Report had escaped recognition from the English historian though as I have had occasion to ascertain it was the subject of appreciative comment in France and Prussia more than a century ago. Indeed I read it first in a German translation printed at Berlin in 1762." Horton quoted in Gray. Foolscap folio 332 x 202 mm pp. 3. Docket title printed on final blank for folding. Disbound two sewing holes as issued. Two small sewing holes to centre fold; in excellent condition. Gray 350; Wallis 350.6.

[Abolition - Underground Railroad - Pennsylvania - Kennett Square] Rehn, Isaac; Pennock, Mary and MosesBiblio.com

Pair of Ambrotypes of Mary and Moses Pennock Members of the Kennett Square Underground Railroad Network by Isaac Rehn c. 1854

1854réf. List1708Philadelphia 1854. Ninth plate ambrotypes in a union case measuring 2 ½ x 2 ⅛ inches visible in larger case. With the identification of Isaac Rehn with his imprint and "Patented July 4 & 11 1854" imprinted on the case. A fine pair. A striking pair of ambrotypes of Mary and Moses Pennock who were members of the Kennett Square Underground Railroad network as well as active members of the Kennett Square abolitionist and Quaker community. Moses was one of the founders of the Longwood Progressive Meeting. In R.C. Smedley's History of the Underground Railroad in Chester and Neighboring Counties of Pennsylvania Lancaster Office of the Journal 1883 the Pennocks are mentioned on p. 301 as working as part of the network surrounding Isaac and Thamazine Meredity. Their son Samuel who would go on to secure important agricultural patents is also mentioned twice. The images are notable from a photographic history perspective as well as being early examples of the ambrotype process that had been patented in part by fellow Quaker and spiritualist Isaac Rehn. Rehn held a partial patent on ambrotypes along with James Ambrose Cutting of Boston and became unpopular among other photographers for his efforts to extend his patent. He later practiced spiritual photography and was a Professor of Chemistry at Pennsylvania Medical University in Philadelphia. Rehn was also involved in radical politics as a founder and leader of the Philadelphia section of the International Workingmen's Association which was later disenfranchised by Karl Marx along with several other American sections. Examples of Rehn's work are held at the National Gallery of Art the Library Company of Philadelphia and Yale's Sterling Memorial Library. Overall a very fine and significant pair of images. unknown

Isaac Weld 1774-1856 conducted a survey of the United States from 1795 to 1797 covering the Eastern Seaboard and parts of the American frontier including Virginia Pennsylvania New York and the Carolinas. Weld traveled by horseback boat and on foot observing the social political and economic conditions of the newly formed nation. In "Travels" he commented on the vast natural beauty of the American landscape the state of infrastructure and the way of life of settlers and Native American tribes he encountered. Weld was critical of the rough manners and egalitarianism he witnessed contrasting it with European refinement yet he admired the industrious spirit of Americans. His narrative of the nascent United States helped to shape European opinions of the new nation during the Revolutionary period. John Stockdale unknown
