1902réf. 316588Newark Valley NY; near Uffington Ontario and other sites 1902.

Narrow agenda 12mo. Original leather edged canvas wallet binding stamped Excelsior Diary on flap. Owner name in ink on back cover and on front flyleaf. Very good conition entirely legible. Illustrated with a manuscript plan of the 1899 camp and a map accomplished in red ink and pencil for the 1901 hunt. 174 pp. as described serially in manuscript in an Excelsior Diary ignoring the printed dates approximately 10000 words. 1 vols. Narrow agenda 12mo. An excellent series of accounts of seven three-week deer hunts in Canada late October to mid-November 1897-1902 with names of the members of the hunting parties and a table by hunter of the game bag. Livermore a resident of Newark Valley New York travelled to Canada each year with a group of friends to hunt deer at a camp near Uffington Ontario; his diaries 20-40 pages for each hunt provide a brief account for each day's activities without much of a narrative thread mostly devoted to the hunting with notes on deer seen shot at and bagged. Also included are extensive notes on transportation to and from the camp other wildlife encountered on the hunt anecdotes e.g. a hound returning to camp with a nose full of porcupine quills some expense accounting and camp life. Livermore and his ten or so comrades most of whom hailed from Ottawa or Toronto bagged an average of 20 deer a year over the six hunts with a high of 30 in 1899 and 1900 the kill including bucks does and fawns rather indiscriminately. From the 1897 trip: "A.E. Bradstreet shot a fine doe 2-year old in narrows from upper pine near Burnt lake. Called for me to dress it. 1898: "I went with Mr. Miller North East of camp to a new watch & shot the first deer of the season at 8:30 & a fawn on same morning about 9:30." 1899: "Paddy Regan killed a very large buck yesterday in Rat lake weighed 240 pounds." 1900: "Weather very warm went bathing in lake today. Had plenty of fresh fish from lake perch bull heads chubs also some trout." 1901: "F. Smith shot a fine 5 i.e. 10 pt. buck at head of Jean Lake." 1902: "I went to pt. between watches on Jean Lake North side at 8:30 just landed I see a small Buck fawn 'fine one' crossing outlet of Jean went after him & made a finish at first watch on Stoney Creek." Though lacking a narrative thread this is a revealing manuscript giving the day to day details from a series of deer hunting trips to Canada at the turn of the 20th century. The first 60 days of the diary have entries in real time mostly devoted to Livernore's day job as a clerk in a shoe store and for example an 1892 visit to New York City; the manuscript is quite legible and very good throughout. unknown

Not in Kress (cf.: 7197); not in INED (cf.: 1075); Goldsmiths 23385; Einaudi 1038. 'Chastellux's analysis of American society was both more searching and influential. A member of the French Academy, one of the founders of the social sciences, and major general on Rochambeau's staff, he was easily the foremost intellectual in the French forces in America. In ..... De la Félicité, he had sought to determine whether "society is susceptible, if not of perfection, at least amelioration," that is, of an increase in human felicity. (.....) The only possible answer was in social reform. The function of government, he posited, was to achieve "the greatest happiness of the greatest number." Man must create through the free and enlightened use of his reason a liberal government midway between the extremes of pure democracy and pure absolutism, based upon a true understanding of economic principles (Physiocracy), which would guarantee a high standard of living, adequate leisure, and the right to private property. In this work Chastellux had cited America as an example of man's ability to progress through liberty, reason, equality and agriculturism" (See at length: D.

Second edition, the work had been first launched in Amsterdam in 1772 before a French publisher dared to bring it on the market in France.

A member of the French Academy, one of the founders of the social sciences, and major general on Rochambeau's staff, he was easily the foremost intellectual in the French forces in America. In an earlier work, De la Félicité, he had sought to determine whether "society is susceptible, if not of perfection, at least amelioration," that is, of an increase in human felicity. (.....)
