1628ref. 10794Leiden: B. & A. Elzevir 1628. Copper engraving by Simon Van der Passe. Very good condition apart from some overall light soiling and a small loss in the top margin. A fine print from the most sumptuous book on fencing ever produced which combines a strong design sense with beauty and historical importance executed by one of the greatest engravers of the day. Thibault's work was produced during a period when the Italian rapier or epee held sway. "The Italians discovered the effectiveness of the dexterous use of the point rather than the edge of the sword. By the end of the 16th century their lighter weapon.and simple nimble and controlled fencing style emphasizing skill and speed rather than force spread throughout Europe. Most of the wrestling tricks used in earlier disciplines were abandoned the lunge was discovered and fencing became established as an art" Encyclopaedia Britannica. The present image marks the zenith of the use of the epee in Europe. "In the latter half of the 17th century the sword and swordsmanship changed dramatically with a change in gentleman's dress. In France the court of Louis XIV set the fashion of silk stockings breeches and brocaded coats.As the long trailing rapier was unsuited to this form of dress fashion decreed the wearing of a light short court sword. The French style set in throughout Europe as the Italian had done earlier" op. cit. Cf. Vigeant p. 125; cf. Willems 302. unknown books

Reverend Trumbull an orderly and considerate man "nominated the preacher at his funeral and directed what neighbouring ministers should be desired to attend on that occasion; and who should insert in the public papers the account of his death: he also desired some of his particular friends and leading members of his church to take care that his funeral was conducted with propriety and christian decency. He also ordered the joiner to prepare him a decent but plain unornamented coffin." The Reverend's "nephew was Connecticut's Governor Jonathan Trumbull the only colonial governor to support the war for independence. Gov. Trumbull's son was the artist John Trumbull whose paintings of the Revolutionary War including the signing of the Declaration of Independence are on view in the Rotunda of the United States Capitol building."

1855ref. 29528Harrisburg 1855. 48pp. Stitched in original printed blue title wrappers spine-chipped. Two stab holes in blank left margin. Light scattered foxing old vertical fold Very Good. This document says Howes was reprinted "to discredit" Cameron a Pennsylvania kingmaking politician who stuffed his pockets with the spoils of a panoply of public offices. In 1838 President Van Buren made him an Indian Commissioner in charge of settling the Winnebago Indian land claims. The appointment ended in scandal when he used his own bank's notes as part of the adjustment. He became derisively known as "The Great Winnebago Chief." The front wrapper quoting from the St. Louis Reporter calls Cameron's activities "infamous speculation." Bibliographers-- recording only a 38-page pamphlet under this title-- conclude that this pamphlet was printed in 1839. That seems unlikely. Original House Document 229 was printed during the 25th Congress in 1839. This reprint was published to thwart Cameron's designs on a U.S. Senate seat and was probably printed in 1855: he was running for the Senate that year and a related pamphlet entitled a Rejoinder to the Defence Published by Simon Cameron also issued in 1855. Each of them exposes Cameron's shady business dealings during his term as Indian Commissioner. "Plot of Simon Cameron and fellow rascals to defraud these Indians of half a million dollars frustrated by a young army officer E.A. Hitchcock" Howes. OCLC's seven locateions as of June 2026 are all collated at 38 pages with an 1839 publication date. Field 1686 and Howes W569 38pp. unknown books
