1860réf. 2302035Boston: Adams Sampson & Co 1860. First Edition. Hardcover. Very Good. 1st printing of this very scarce business directory covering six states: Maine New Hampshire Vermont Massachusetts Rhode Island Connecticut. 1/2 leather and boards the paper over boards containing both title and several pictorial ads. Text of listings and other info runs 912pp much of the print font quite small to accommodate thousands and thousands of listings. Following this main section are over 208pp of ads many with pictorial engravings. On the fore edge is printed in abbreviation the six states with a small thumb index to assist the reader to open up to a given state. I have named Samuel Colt to the authorship to draw attention to the fact that following page 664 Colt has four pages two leaves one a color paper. The heading is: "The Pioneers of Civilization COLT'S REVOLVING BREECH FIREARMS small pictorial device showing five firearms PISTOLS RIFLES CARBINES AND SHOT GUNS." Under this heading is "Simple Reasons for preferring Colt's Arm to all others." The second page shows a target with pin point marks on it "Col. Colt's Military and Sporting Rifles" with text. Third page is a price list. Page four prints a "CAUTION" that has to do with a discussion of patents. But of course the huge bulk of this book is the listing of thousands of businesses in New England divided state by state. Leading them are several pages of INDEX TO HEADINGS which remarkably lists each type of business with columns showing how many of each are in each of the six states. Following that is a POPULATION OF NEW ENGLAND section county by county. And there is a list of telegraph stations in the entire United State. The section listing railroads in New England. The information just goes on and on. Vg condition with moderate wear to paper on the boards removing some text but not very much. The leather spine has wear but is stable. Very scarce.

By the first quarter of the 19th century the synagogue of Newport Rhode Island (established in 1763) was used infrequently as the community there had dwindled. It was Abraham Touro's bequest to the legislature of the state for "supporting the Jewish Synagogue in the State" that spurred the town to safeguard this architectural jewel. Endowing the building, even when it was not in use, protected it. It would come into regular use again when Eastern European immigrants reconstituted the Newport Jewish community.

Small 4to. 190 mm. Later blue boards binding; leather title strip lettered in gilt. Clean and attractive copy. Charles I (1600-1649), King of Great Britain and Ireland. In his early disputes, arguments, and battles with the Scots, tried a new tool. He resolved to call an English parliament, and to ask for means to enable him to make war effectually upon Scotland. The discovery of an attempt made by the Scottish leaders to open negotiations with the king of France led him to hope that the national English feeling would be touched. In the meanwhile the English privy councillors offered him a loan which would enable him at least to gather an army without parliamentary aid. The Short parliament of 1640 was opened by the King on 13 April with a few words indicative of the gravity of the situation, the task of more fully setting forth the royal wishes and intentions being devolved upon the Lord Keeper (Baron Finch). Under Pym's leadership the Parliament showed itself disposed to ask for redress of grievances as a condition of a grant of supply, and it subsequently refused to give money unless peace were made with the Scots. On 5 May Charles dissolved parliament by means of this Declaration. Getting money by irregular means, he proceeded to push on the war, and formed an Irish army to join the mutinous and un-warlike Royal army. Terrified and exasperated Englishmen, believed that this army would be used in England to crush their liberties. The Scots knew that the opinion in England was in their favour, and they had already entered into communication with the parliamentary leaders. On 20 Aug. they crossed the Tweed, defeated part of the royal army at Newburn on the 28th, and soon afterwards occupied Newcastle and Durham. Charles's money was by this time almost exhausted, and he was obliged to summon the English peers to meet him in a great council at York, as there was no time to get together a full parliament. The great council met on 24 Sept. It at once insisted on opening negotiations with the Scots, and sent some of its members to London to obtain a loan to support the army during the progress of the treaty. Charles had now agreed to summon another parliament, and the negotiations opened at Ripon were adjourned to London.

Jacob George Strutt (17841867) painter and etcher, studied in London, and was a contributor to the Royal Academy and British Institution at intervals between 1819 and 1858. For a few years he practiced portrait-painting, but from 1824 to 1831 exhibited studies of forest scenery, and he is now best known by two sets of etchings which he published at this period `Sylva Britannica, or portraits of Forest Trees distinguished for their Antiquity' (1822; reissued, as here, in 1838), and `Delicia Sylvarum, or grand and romantic Forest Scenery in England and Scotland' (1828). About 1831 Strutt went abroad, and, after residing for a time at Lausanne, settled in Rome. In 1851 he returned to England, but was not active after 1858. Nice copy of the First Quarto Edition, with the plates being mounted proofs on India paper. Bridson & White C537; Nissen BBI 1907. RARE. **PRICE MUCH REDUCED! PLANTS W134
1721pp. (9), 82. 12mo. in 6. [191 x 118 mm]. Fully engraved text on ninety-one plates, each with an illustration or large vignette. The handsomely decorated borders to each page appear to have been engraved and impressed separately. Full contemporary sombre black morocco binding; joints slightly worn. All edges gold. ** The Duke of Sussex's copy, with his engraved bookplate (Augustus Frederick, Prince, Duke of Sussex, 1773-1843); and with the additional ownerships of Henry White and Robert James Sells. From the Library of Edwin Wolf II. The text itself is ascribed to Laurence Howell (1664?-1720) by Halkett & Laing, but the greatest interest in this book comes from its engraved typography and decorations. John Sturt (1658-1730), was apprenticed at the age of 17 to Robert White, in whose manner he engraved a number of small portraits as frontispieces to several books. Becoming associated with John Ayres, he engraved the most important of that writing-master's books on calligraphy, and acquired celebrity for his skill in such work. The amazing skill of his engraving artistry still astonishes us. This work is probably somewhat scarcer than Sturt's more famous "Book of Common Prayer", especially in this (first?) state with single cherubs blowing horns at each side of the border of p. IX. Though some copies do have a list "Subscribers" pp. [83]-[85] - none is present here, nor does one seem to have ever been bound in the book. Maybe Sussex had some objection to some on the list?

Univ. 9, 222. - vorliegende Gegenschrift zur grundlegenden, vielfach angefeindeten, Schrift zur Gedankenfreiheit, des englischen Philosophen Anthony Collins (1676-1729) 'Discours of free thinking' zählt zu den wichtigsten Werken zur zeitgenössischen Diskussion um Gedankenfreiheit. Vorliegend die erste französische Ausgabe dieser unter dem Pseudonym Phileleutherus Lipsiensis hrsg. 'Remarks upon a late discours of free thinking' des bedeutenden klassischen Philologen und Rektors in Cambridge, Richard Bentley (1662-1742), erschienen zusammen mit kritischen Bemerkungen zu A. Collins durch den Übersetzer Armand Boisbeleau de la Chapelle. Hirsching bezeichnet das Werk als die "wichtigste und gelehrteste Schrift" Bentleys.
