1845ref. 861081845. A Case of Jealousy and Homicide in Cold Spring New York Manuscript. Long Island New York. Witness Statements From the Trial of Jacamiah Tillet for the Murder of John Covert. Cold Spring Huntington New York May 1845. 5 ff. 12-1/2" x 7-1/2" 31.7 x 19 cm sheets fastened together at heads with wax seals content to rectos and versos two contemporary newspaper clippings about the case affixed to recto of final leaf which is docketed on verso. Moderate toning three horizontal fold lines 16 marks and brief annotions to margins in pencil. A well-preserved piece of Long Island legal history. $750. This rare manuscript provides a firsthand account of the 1845 murder trial of Jacamiah Tillett a man driven to violence by a dark obsession with his neighbor's wife. The documents contain detailed cross-examinations of key witnesses including the victim's widow Elizabeth Covert. At the time of the trial Elizabeth was described as a woman of roughly twenty years who had been married only a short time. Local accounts suggest a scandalous history; she was reportedly "very intimate" with Tillett prior to her marriage a connection that fueled Tillett's lethal infatuation. According to the witness statements and contemporary newspaper clippings. Tillett was deeply infatuated with Elizabeth frequently attempting to force his affections upon her. On at least one occasion Tillett allegedly suggested that Elizabeth poison her husband and flee with him. These specific notes-penned with the clinical precision of a legal mind-are attributed to William Platt Buffett 1793-1874. Buffett was a preeminent Suffolk County attorney and future county judge suggesting these documents served as his personal trial notes for the defense. This collection offers a raw unfiltered look at 19th-century jurisprudence and social scandal. It captures the tension between the "respectability" of Victorian-era marriage and the violent realities of domestic obsession in rural New York. unknown books

1960Very Good Urdu Extremely rare first and only edition (not in institutional catalogues and market) of this travel book to America in the mid 20th century by Pakistani journalist and intellectual Sharif Farooq, who was invited to visit the USA on the Leader Specialist Programme in 1958. Sharif Farooq visited America in 1958. In his travelogue, he highlights the lifestyle, educational system, and foreign policy of America in detail. He also introduces the economical situation of the country, economical trends, and the condition of different institutions. Reports of press conferences are also a part of this travelogue. (Source: Travelogues of America in the Urdu Language: Trends and Tradition). "Wherever the Americans deserve appreciation for their intense patriotism and enthusiasm for labor, the author has given unstinted praise but where criticism is due he has not spared them, though the language used is very sober and moderate. I am confident that this book will be widely read and aimed as one of the good travel books written about America". (From the preface of the book by advocate-general Muhammad Ali). In original boards with lettering in both Latin and Arabic, spine missing. Otherwise a good copy. Demy 8vo. (22 x 14 cm). Text is in Urdu with a one-page English preface. 387, [1] p.

1828Bellissima rappresentazione di una via Broadway vista dal Bowling Green il parco più antico di New York. L’incisione, in coloritura coeva, mostra la quotidianità di una grande metropoli con evidenziate discrete interazioni sociali tra individui il cui status, di cittadini della nuova nazione, è indicato dal loro comportamento e dai loro costumi. I modi di vestire repubblicani consentivano a tutti di identificarsi come partecipanti in un gruppo di pari-sociali. Pubblicata by Currier & Ives, 152 Nassau Street, New York.

1924ref. 5500Japan 1924. Very good. Four broadside documents two maps and a stamped envelope. Folded for postal delivery minor overall wear and some toning a few small areas of insect damage. A small but notable collection of documents and maps documenting the New York region in the early-1920s. The two folding maps depict New York with one in color and the other being a reprint of a map from the New York American of Sunday January 22 1922 showing the NYC area marked with concentric circles representing increasing land values. The text around the map promotes a very positive view of the real estate market in the New York area. The four broadside documents are essentially leaflets reprinting various New York Times and other articles each measuring around 20 x 7 inches and printed all in Japanese. These broadsides encourage potential Japanese investment in a syndicate promoting urban redevelopment in New York and its surroundings report on the New York Port Authority business opportunities in NYC and more. The material was produced by the New York Land and Building Company one of a number of schemes created in Japan during or immediately following the First World War promoting speculation in relatively risky investment schemes. The NYLBC was founded by Japanese real estate speculator Okamoto Yonezo and was a fascinating precursor to later Japanese overseas investment and emigration efforts. The present documents and maps provide important insights into the economic and social relations between Japan and the United States on the eve of the 1924 Exclusion Act. unknown books
