1776ref. 36226London: Printed for Robt. Sayer and John Bennett August 17 1776. Large and Detailed Map of Colonial North America Including Quebec and Montreal This famous map is one of the best for the provinces of New York and New Jersey during the colonial period. It is the fourth state described by McCorkle following versions published circa 1768 in 1775 and earlier in 1776. "The map includes western Connecticut and Massachusetts and most of Vermont. In 1775 the title became 'The Provinces of New York and New Jersey; with part of Pensilvania and the Province of Quebec'.Three insets were added in this state: A chart of the mouth of the Hudson River; A plan of the City of New York; Plan of Amboy.The following year the date changed to 1776. Later in the same year the title was extended to include 'Corrected and improved from the original materials by Govern.r Pownall' and Holland's rank was given as Major" - McCorkle. The present copy is the final version described by McCorkle. THE PROVINCES OF NEW YORK AND NEW JERSEY is in effect a large-scale map of the Hudson River and its tributaries including the Mohawk and settlement in New York is almost entirely confined to the banks of the Hudson and Mohawk rivers. The unexplored Adirondack County is left almost entirely blank with a lengthy notation that begins "Beaver Hunting Country of the Confederated Indians." Pennsylvania extends north into western New York state almost as far as the Mohawk Vermont is shown attached to New York with each existing township identified and the map extends north into Quebec beyond Montreal. Interesting notations on the country are scattered across the face of the map. For instance in Pennsylvania an area with little detail is simply noted as "endless mountains." The map is beautifully decorated with a pastoral title cartouche suggestive of the Hudson Palisades in the lower right corner. The map was created by Samuel Holland Surveyor General for the Northern District of North America. As a result of the French and Indian War 1755-63 Great Britain had acquired a new American Empire for which there were few adequate maps. Two new offices of surveyor general for the American colonies were established in 1763-64. The colonies were divided at the Potomac River into a northern and southern district and the respective surveyors appointed were Samuel Holland and Gerard De Brahm. Holland conceived of a general survey of North America east of the Mississippi to be based upon geodetic principles on a scale of one inch to one mile but work was interrupted in 1775 by the outbreak of the American Revolution. A very good copy of Holland's large and important map which includes western New England and portions of Quebec. Engraved map consisting of eight folio sheets backed on linen 54½ x 21¾ inches with contemporary color outlining and shading of some boundaries and geographic features. Slightly soiled occasional minor stains a few old repairs no loss of text. In a brown cloth slipcase. A very good copy. DEGREES OF LATITUDE fig. 21. PHILLIPS ATLASES 1166 number 17.

Day F. Holland- Original Platinum Print of Gelett Burgess Signed by Burness and Frank S. Birchall Placed as Frontispiece in Burgess' Book "Vivette"F. Holland Day / Burgess Photograph Platinum Print Association

1897ref. 7071Boston: Copeland & Day 1897. First Edition. First Edition. Original salmon-colored embossed cloth. Exceptional association platinum print by F. Holland Day affixed on the verso of the half-title of Gelett Burgess drawing a GOOP character which he invented signed by Burgess and additionally by Frank S. Birchall Dayís principal photographic printer. Small format 3 3/4 ◊ 5 1/2 inches but of remarkable importance: Dayís original platinum prints are among the rarest survivals in American pictorialist photography many having been destroyed in the catastrophic 1904 fire at his Norwood studio which obliterated a substantial portion of his negatives and prints. Surviving prints are consequently scarce and disproportionately represented in institutional collections notably the Library of Congress and the Royal Photographic Society. This example is further elevated by its literary and social context. Burgessópublisher wit and central figure in Bostonís avant-garde circle surrounding Copeland & Dayóreportedly issued a small number of privately distributed photographs of himself by Day signed and given out in conjunction with promotional or semi-private gatherings tied to his publications. While documentation is fragmentary references to such bespoke photographic insertions align with Dayís known practice of producing intimate limited presentation prints for his circle. As well Day's own copy of "Vivette" with the same print affixed on verso of half-title appears in the collection of a notable F. Holland Day collector. Birchallís signature is of particular significance: as Dayís master printer he was responsible for executing the technically demanding platinum prints that define Dayís tonal subtlety and surface refinement. Signed examples by both sitter and printer are exceedingly uncommon. Near fine. Copeland & Day unknown books

Day F. Holland Two Small Manuscripts and Two ALS to FHD Regarding William Hazlitt Brass Memorial

ref. 6461Offered here are two one-page Fred Holland Day manuscripts and two letters to Day both 1890 see descriptions following concerning a plan along with his close friend Louise Imogen Guiney to put up a plaque in memory of William Hazlitt at Hazlitt's church. FHD 1864-1933 was a prominent American photographer and publisher circling in both literary and photography circles in the late Nineteenth Century and co-founder of Copeland & Day a Boston publisher who produced Beardsely's Salome and about 100 titles. 1 Two autograph letters signed: the first dated Sept. 10 1890 from Edwin F. Dyke Maidstone from the Vicarage Sept two pages. ". if you will send me the design for the brass tablet you would desire to place in my chruch in memory of William Hazlettl and will be content to omit the last 3 lines of the enclosed inscription I will see what I can to fall in with your wishes. etc." The second letter is dated Sept. 9 1890 two pages from Nigel Wade at St. Anne's Rectory in Soho answering Day's request to erect a Hazlitt memorial. Wade replies in part "You mention that you found there is no memorial to William Hazlitt in "Anne's". you can scarcely be aware that in the will arrangement of the Church fund we carefully requested that a William Hazlitt large memorial stone.be erected etc" He goes on to say he can't think it possible to establish a new memorial and returns the manuscript Day sent him etc. 2 Two corrected manuscript pages in FHD's hand of the inscription he and Guiney wanted to have on the plaque. The first 4 x 5 inches in Day's hand: "To William Hazlitt date of birth and death crossed out. 2 sic young Americans in the year of grace 1890 with heartfelt homage dedicate this brass underscore line Keep time in dark Soho what once was Hazlitt/ Truth having there her lover and outrider/ Forgets not her great power herself shall claim it." This was the infamous three lines which Dyke see above asks Day to delete. The second 4 x 5 1/2 inches on blue paper and red ink has changes to the plaque and a big X over the last three lines! A rather elongated story but a signficant one with Day writing in earnest but meeting some opposition and a fascinating record herewith of the process in which Day was committed to completing the project. unknown books

Day F. Holland- Substantial Archive of Eight Letters To F. Holland Day from the Daughter of Keats' Friend ALS Archive to F. Holland Day from Mary F. Macareth Regarding F H. Day's Research on Keats

ref. 6463Eight letters from Mary F. Macareth to F. Holland Day comprising replies and queries to his letters over a sixth month period Aug. 11 1890 to Feb. 13 1891 regarding her father George Macareth who was a close associate with John Keats in early days of studying medicine. Fred Holland Day was an enthusiastic collector of John Keats amassed a large collection of Keats and Keatsiana and he led the campaign which resulted in the first memorial to Keats placed in Hampstead Church in 1894. These letters were written by Keats during his stays in London and Madrid while he was doing especially comprehensive research on Keats. In these letters it is clear that Day was trying to obtain Keats-related material from Macareth and the exchanges indicate a rather straightforward individual trying at once to help a prominent figure as well as trying to safeguard her own interests see below. Eight letters 12mo very good or better condition all but one are accompanied by the original envelope addressed to "F. Holland Day Esqre with the following addresses: 39 Medford Square London W.C. 18 Tavistock Street Medford Square London W.C. c/o Muring Brothers & Co S. Muchopyate Street London. E.C. Grand Hotel de la Paiz Madrid; and " Normy"Mass America1 Aug 11 1890 3pp; 2 Aug 21 1890. 28 pages in total. Some brief snatches: aug 11 daughter of George Macareth "I have a pencil drawing which I believe was done by Keats or Severn whey they were all young men. I do not think it a flattering likeness." Oct 11th. "I have this morning received the photograph of Keats forwarded from Elvington. She writes about several paintings which may be of some interest she will write to her brother as well and then: "Will you excuse me if I ask plainly what is your position or calling in life as I shuld then feel more freedom in my correspondence. Of course you are a perfect stranger to me so I trust will take my question in the right light." Oct 17: "I received the enclosed photograph from my sister. I think the same as the one I have. It is a very good one and represents my Father at the age of about 70. I have received an autograph of my Father's which I enclose. I fear I did not answer your question about the pencil drawing which you asked in your last letter. the lost miniature is not at all the same. I know the drawing is perfectly safe only I cannnot get to it at present. Dec 4: I received your kind letter yestrday and am extremely obliged to you for lending me the prints from my Father's picture which I think are very good. Feb 13 1891: Dear sir. I am now in possession of the pencil drawing of my faterh and shall be glad to forward it to you if you still wish to see it. . I think it was done by Severn." George Mackereth who kept trying to discard his middle name Wilson were not only fellow students but shared accommodation with Keats for a year from October 1815 at 28 St Thomas Street now marked by a blue plaque though the house is long gone. To be sure FHD was saddened to here it was done by Severn and not Keats. A most scarce and interesting archive indeed with plenty to mined here on both F. Holland Day as well as John Keats. unknown books

Pliny, the Elder (23-79 AD); Holland, Philemon (1552-1637), translator A DABAA

The Historie of the World. Commonly called the Naturall Historie of C. Plinius Secundus. Translated into English by Philemon Holland Doctor in Physicke. The first & Second tome

1601ref. 3078London: Impensis G. Bishop 1601. FIRST EDITION second issue with cancel title page. Hardcover. Fine. Bound in contemporary English calfskin ruled in blind re-backed and re-cornered in morocco. An excellent copy internally with very minor faults. A few signatures have very marginal damp-stains there are occasional rust spots minor marginal tears and a few natural paper flaws no loss to text. The first title page features an elaborate architectural border with Solomonic columns. "The 'Natural History' of Pliny the Elder is more than a natural history: it is an encyclopaedia of all the knowledge of the ancient world. It comprises 37 books with mathematics and physics geography and astronomy medicine and zoology anthropology and physiology philosophy and history agriculture and mineralogy the arts and letters. The 'Historia' soon became a standard book of reference; abstracts and abridgements appeared by the third century. Bede owned a copy Alcuin sent the early books to Charlemagne and Dicuil the Irish geographer quotes him in the ninth century. It was the basis of Isidore's Etymologiae and such medieval encyclopedias as the Speculum Majus of Vincent of Beauvais and the Catholicon of Balbus. One of the earliest books to be printed at Venice the centre from which so much of classical literature was first dispensed it was later translated into English by Philemon Holland in 1601 and twice reprinted a notable achievement for so vast a text. Over and over again it will be found that the source of some ancient piece of knowledge is Pliny." PMM 5 "Holland's first book the first complete rendering of Livy into English was published in 1600 when he was nearly fifty. It was a work of great importance presented in a grand folio volume of 1458 pages and dedicated to the queen. . "The Livy was followed in the next year by an equally huge translation of the elder Pliny: The Historie of the World Commonly called the Naturall Historie. This encyclopaedia of ancient knowledge about the natural world had already had a great indirect influence in England as elsewhere in Europe but had not been translated into English before and would not be again for 250 years."ODNB.
