1707réf. 49257Frankfurt and Leipzig: The Heirs of Johann Grosse 1707. First edition. Paperback. Good. Two parts small quarto. :4 A-2G4 = 124 leaves. 8 230 10pp. Title in red and black. Lettrines and woodcut ornaments. Contemporary wrappers chipped at extemities; upper cover detached. Text moderately embrowned with some mostly marginal foxing. A good uncut copy. First edition. With a wonderful allegorical title in both Hebrew and Latin: "The daughter serves as midwife to the mother." Johann Abraham Kromayer 1665-1733 views the Arabic language as the "daughter" believed to be more recent who helps to extract meaning from the "mother" the earlier Hebrew of the Scriptures. Kromayer here labors somewhat in the shadow of his contemporary the Dutch orientalist Albert Schultens a great pioneer of such comparative studies in the Semitic tongues especially Arabic in the interest of biblical exegesis.

1863réf. 68373Massachusetts 1863. LINCOLN Abraham. Massachusetts: 1863. Letterpress broadside 27 3/4 x 20 in.; 708 x 508 mm on paper incorporating several display and ornamental fonts as well as the seal of Massachusetts docketed on the verso "Post Office Hanover.' Some light offsetting. Nearly invisible professional repairs to the verso along the folds. A very nice example of this rare and important broadside This original broadside produced in Massachusetts is formatted in two halves with the top half being Governor John A. Andrew's announcement of Lincoln's Proclamation endorsing the observation of this day of Thanksgiving in his state dated July 27 1863 and the bottom half being Lincoln's actual proclamation dated July 15th 1863 and announcing that August 6th shall be set aside as a National Day of Thanksgiving. Though the exact printing date is unknown it can be assumed that it was printed within the week following July 27th. Thanksgiving was observed as a Holiday since colonial times and each state would set aside its own day for celebration. This proclamation was the first time that the Holiday would be celebrated on a set day nation wide making it the first observed Thanksgiving as a National Holiday. Though later the same year on October 3rd 1863 Lincoln made a second proclamation again announcing Thanksgiving as a Holiday but this time in November a date closer to the time most states had been celebrating it in the past. This earlier proclamation is actually the first time Thanksgiving was given national status but because the second proclamation was widely accepted the knowledge of this earlier one has been somewhat forgotten making this piece a rare and important document in the annals of American history. Though this broadside is for the State of Massachusetts no other broadsides from any other states that announce this date are known to exist and only three other copies of this rare document are located through OCLC.

1865réf. 25618Frank Leslie published this print as a premium for his new family magazine Frank Leslie's Chimney Corner and copyrighted it on April 8 1865 just a week before Lincoln's death. The image created by engraver Henry B. Major and lithographer Joseph Knapp portrays Lincoln flanked by the First Lady and Vice President Andrew Johnson greeting Julia Dent Grant wife of Lieutenant General Ulysses S. Grant who stands nearby. According to a notice printed at the bottom right corner "Every Person who pays Ten Cents each for numbers 1 and 2 of Frank Leslie's Chimney Corner The New Family Paper is entitled to a copy of this PLATE without extra charge" or individuals could purchase the print for $3. ABRAHAM LINCOLN.Lithograph. "Grand Reception of the Notabilities of the Nation at the White House 1865" New York: Frank Leslie April 1865. 1 p. 19 x 23¾ in. In the first issue of The Chimney Corner Leslie described the "Grand Reception" image as "the most costly gift plate ever presented by any publisher in the United States having been produced at an expense of $10000." "Every family should possess this truly national picture and carefully preserve it" Leslie continued "as it will transmit to future generations the men who have restored our great national unity. It is especially valuable as it contains an excellent likeness of our late lamented President introducing General Grant and his wife to Mrs. Lincoln." The picture contains "nearly 100 portraits of our most celebrated Generals Statesmen and Civilians also of many of our most distinguished American ladies. The likenesses are admirable having been taken from photographs by Brady." The key giving the names of each individual portrait was published in issue number 4 of the Chimney Corner on June 24. Included in the image are Generals Ulysses S. Grant John G. Foster William T. Sherman Hugh J. Kilpatrick Nathaniel P. Banks Philip H. Sheridan Winfield S. Hancock John A. Logan Joseph Hooker Benjamin F. Butler Oliver O. Howard John A. Dix and Henry W. Slocum. Admirals David Farragut and David Dixon Porter represent the Navy. Members of the cabinet include Secretary of War Edwin M. Stanton Secretary of State William H. Seward and Secretary of the Navy Gideon Welles. Members of Congress include Senator Henry B. Anthony of Rhode Island Senator William P. Fessenden of Maine Senator Charles Sumner of Massachusetts and Speaker of the House Schuyler Colfax of Indiana. Chief Justice Salmon P. Chase represents the U.S. Supreme Court. New York newspaper editors Horace Greeley Henry J. Raymond and James Gordon Bennett are also present. Prominent women include First Lady Mary Lincoln Ann S. Stephens dime novelist and magazine editor Miriam Folline Squier wife of Leslie's former editor-in-chief and Leslie's future wife Julia Dent Grant wife of Ulysses S. Grant Kate Chase Sprague daughter of Chief Justice and wife of Rhode Island Senator and Adele Cutts Douglas widow of Stephen A. Douglas. Others identified in the key include Ephraim G. Squier Leslie's former editor-in-chief archaeologist and U.S. commissioner to Peru Governor Andrew G. Curtin of Pennsylvania and Ambassador to Russia Cassius M. Clay of Kentucky. Despite Leslie's copyright Anton Hohenstein created a very similar image entitled "Lincoln's Last Reception" which also featured Lincoln's meeting General Ulysses S. Grant's wife Julia. Published by John Smith in Philadelphia in 1865 and hand-colored "Lincoln's Last Reception" also included more than thirty military and political leaders and a few prominent women among the onlookers in the ballroom. Frank Leslie's Chimney Corner 1865-1884 was a weekly family newspaper published "every Tuesday" in New York by Frank Leslie. Each illustrated issue of sixteen pages contained serial fiction short stories poetry biographies history travel sketches natural history anecdotes and other subjects. According to the prospectus the newspaper would be "a welcome messenger of instruction and amusement to the young and old in the family and by the fireside—that altar around which cluster our holiest and most cherished recollections." Leslie had copyrighted the title in 1861 but "the great Rebellion now happily closing intervened to put a stop to the enterprise." Frank Leslie 1821-1880 was born in England as Henry Carter but he adopted the pseudonym of Frank Leslie to keep his artistic activities a secret from his relatives who disapproved. He came to the United States in 1848 and settled in New York in 1853 to engrave woodcuts for P. T. Barnum's Illustrated News. When that publication failed Leslie began work on his own series of illustrated publications including Frank Leslie's Illustrated Newspaper The Budget of Fun Frank Leslie's Chimney Corner and others. At his death he was deeply in debt but his second wife Miriam Folline Squier 1836-1914 continued his publications and again made them profitable even legally changing her name to Frank Leslie in 1881.

1578réf. 2206Antwerp: Plantin 1578. Hardcover. Very Good. 4to - over 9¾ - 12" tall. 4to. 23 x 16.5 cm 4 ff. 417 1 pp. 1 f. Bound in contemporary vellum over flexible boards head slightly chipped; early signature on t-p. Woodcut 'golden compass' device of the Plantin press on title. Generally good. First edition of this early modern geographical dictionary published alongside the first Plantin edition of Ortelius' successful Theatrum orbis terrarum Antwerp 1579 and listing thousands of names both ancient and modern for "peoples regions islands great and small towns mountains foothills forests seas bays lakes" etc. depicted in the atlas. Earlier versions of the Synonymia had previously appeared as indices to the atlas containing a little over 2000 entries; "in all this first version of Ortelius' geographical dictionary in the form of a separate book includes approximately 10000 entries" Meurer. Ortelius' methodology in the present volume differs from that of his earlier indices: a parallel glossary of non-Latin names has been turned into a bilingual appendix and Ortelius relies almost completely on classical authors quoting moderns only when he cannot go straight to the source. The significance of these alterations for the author's role not as mapmaker but as linguist and lexicographer is hard to overstate: his introduction declares that he undertook the new Synonymia largely out of frustration at the scholarly inadequacy of current Latin lexica including earlier editions of his own which frequently printed inexact or even nonexistent terms sometimes on dodgy authority.

1718réf. ST16605bWashington D.C.: U. S. Government 17 July 1862. 445 x 565 mm. 17 3/4 x 22 1/2". 17 lines of engraved text in copperplate script with names and dates completed in a fine secretarial hand. Loose as issued in an archival mylar sleeve. ◆Neatly mended two-and-three-quarters-inch tear to one edge well away from text half inch slit to end of one fold three very short separations along two folds only one touching text otherwise A FINE FRESH SPECIMEN clean and bright the signature dark and clear the wax-and-white-paper seal intact. This is an excellent example of a presidential document with Lincoln's full signature and with that of his Secretary of State William Henry Seward 1801-72 remembered for negotiating the purchase of Alaska from Russia. The consul appointed in this document Jay Haziel Sherman of Vermont served in Charlottetown Prince Edward Island from 1861 to 1865. It is likely this appointee was Jahaziel Blossom Sherman 1801-65 son of pioneering steamship captain Jahaziel Sherman 1770-1844 and that his unusual Old Testament name was misspelled by the scribe who filled in the appointment form. The younger Sherman died in Nova Scotia in 1865. U. S. Government unknown books
