THE RESULT OF THE N. Y. STATE ELECTION; ITS CAUSES AND CONSEQUENCES. OXFORD REPUBLICAN. EXTRA- DECEMBER 1846

1846ref. 17793Albany 1846. 22 1 1 blank pp. Caption title as issued. Printed in double columns disbound scattered foxing. Good. An examination of the surprising Whig triumph in the just-concluded New York State elections in five Letters. The author attributes the Whig sweep to a concerted effort by the Anti-Renters against Democratic Governor Silas Wright who had vigorously suppressed mobs who had engaged in "organized and armed resistance against the collection of rents" from leasehold estates in the Albany area. "Riotous and insurrectionary assemblages of armed men were almost daily witnessed and flagrant outrages upon persons and property were matters of common occurrence committed with entire impunity." Wright became their target in the 1846 elections. AI 46-6014 5. Sabin 70118 Albany Atlas Extra dated December 1846; printed says Sabin in 1847. Not in Eberstadt Decker. unknown books

The Civil War in 50 Objects

2013ref. 2343278New York: Viking 2013. First Edition. Hard Cover. Near Fine/Near Fine. 6x1x9. First edition. An excellent copy. 2013 Hard Cover. xxxiii 380 pp. From a soldier's diary with the pencil still attached to John Brown's pike the Emancipation Proclamation a Confederate Palmetto flag and the leaves from Abraham Lincoln's bier here is a unique and surprisingly intimate look at the Civil War. Lincoln scholar Harold Holzer sheds new light on the war by examining fifty objects from the New-York Historical Society's acclaimed collection. A daguerreotype of an elderly dignified ex-slave whose unblinking stare still mesmerizes; a soldier's footlocker still packed with its contents; Grant's handwritten terms of surrender at Appomattox - the stories these objects tell are rich poignant sometimes painful and always fascinating. They illuminate the conflict from all perspectives - Union and Confederate military and civilian black and white male and female - and give readers a deeply human sense of the war. With an introduction from Pulitzer Prize winner Eric Foner and more than eighty photographs The Civil War in 50 Objects is the perfect companion for readers and history fans to commemorate the 150th anniversaries of both the Battle of Gettysburg and Lincoln's Gettysburg Address.

ACTS OF ASSEMBLY PASSED IN THE PROVINCE OF NEW-YORK FROM 1691 TO 1725. EXAMINED AND COMPARED WITH THE ORIGINALS IN THE SECRETARY'S OFFICE.

1726ref. 58548New-York: William Bradford 1726. Early New York Laws Including for the Suppression of Slave Revolts from an Important Printer with Distinguished Provenance The Henry F. DePuy copy of Bradford's important early printing of the New York Acts of Assembly collecting all legislation passed between 1691 and 1725. Included are acts "for quieting and settling the Disorders that have lately happened within this Province" 1691 "for restraining and punishing Privateers and Pyrates" 1693 and 1698 and "against Jesuites and Popish Priests" 1700 as well as numerous acts "for Regulating Slaves" and one for "Baptizing them" 1706. A law of 1712 is "An Act for Preventing Suppressing and Punishing the Conspiracy and Insurrection of Negroes and Other Slaves" and a law of 1716 prevents the "Selling and giving of Rum or other Strong Liquors to the Indians." Other acts relate to Queen Anne's War as well as the continuing conflicts with the French and Indians. The final twenty pages contain additional ordinances for "Regulating & Establishing Fees" for various public officials and for "Regulating the Recording of Deeds and other Writings." William Bradford 1663–1752 was the "pioneering printer of the English middle colonies" the first in both Pennsylvania and New York DAB. He originally settled in Pennsylvania where he began operating a printing press in 1685 and a bookstore in 1688. Controversies within the Quaker community with Bradford supporting the dissident George Keith led to the temporary seizure of his types and paper in 1692 and in 1693 he moved to New York as the colony's first public printer. Bradford's "accomplishments were not inconsiderable and his importance as a printer remains untarnished. His establishment was a veritable seed farm for future printers having had as apprentices John Peter Zenger Henry DeForeest James Parker and his own son Andrew; and he was himself the progenitor of four generations of printers and publishers. He printed New York's first lawbook 1694 the first published proceedings of an American legislature New York 1695 the first New York paper currency 1709 the first American Book of Common Prayer 1706 the first history of New York 1727 and the first copperplate plan of the city 1730 as well as New York's first newspaper" Wall. Henry F. DePuy 1859–1924 was an important collector of early Native American material particularly captivity narratives as well as American colonial material and Constitutional history. DePuy was also well respected as a scholar publishing a bibliography of colonial treaties with the Native Americans and another on Jesuit missions in America. At the time of his death he was working on a bibliography of Bradford. There is also a typed note laid in from George Parker Winship on John Carter Brown Library letterhead discussing typographical details of this volume. The bookplate of William Smith is accompanied by a note in DePuy's hand: "This bookplate I bought from a dealer and inserted in this book for the reason that when I bought the book in 1902 from A.S. Clark he told me that he had bought this book with others which he showed me from Mr. DeLancey who had told Mr. Clark that when Wm. Smith the Historian of New York left the country at the close of the Revolution he had left these books with Mr. DeLancey's family for safe keeping. At least one of the other volumes that Mr. Clark obtained at the same time had Wm. Smith's book plate—it was The Laws of N.J."

The map is one prepared by G.W. & C.B. Colton based on previous maps published by their predecessor Joseph H. Colton. It depicts the State of New York delineated by county with towns cities railroads canals and some topographical details marked as well as insets of New York City and Niagara Falls. The publisher of the puzzle Rev. E.J.

The reverse of this copy prints an ad for Sherwin-Williams Paint including an illustration of their factory and offices in Cleveland as well as insets of their Chicago office on Jackson Street and their New York office on Fulton Street.
