Sandler S. 136 nach Moll; mit Dat. 1740; Kapp Jamaica 59; Palmer Bermuda 32; Campbell Barbados 26 u. Taf. X; Tooley Antigua 18 u. St. Kitts 23. - Alle Bibliogr. außer Sandler datieren 1737. Very interesting set of five maps on a single sheet showing the highly-prized British possessions in the Caribbean - St. Kitts Antigua Bermuda Barbados and Jamaica - each in excellent detail noting cities rivers roads forts plantations surrounding islands political/administrative subdivisions and a host of other topographical features. The individual maps include separate title and scale bars with most having additional descriptions in German and reference keys.

English/German translations of mapping terms and the text on the maps is in German. Homann Erben/Heirs was a prominent German publishing firm in the European map market throughout the eighteenth century. Founded in 1702 by Johann Baptist Homann the business passed to his son Christoph upon Johanns death in 1724. Christoph died in 1730 aged only 27 and the firm was inherited by subsequent Homann heirs. This changed the name of the company which was known as Homann Erben or Homann heirs. The firm continued in business until 1848. unknown

réf. 019671No Place: No publisher. Unbound. Good. Collection of 15 invitations to US State dinners wedding invitations and other similar events. All various sizes and pagination. Some include dinner menus seating information. All from the same private collection from an executive of a very large international insurance firm name of owner and firm withheld for privacy. The previous owner saved these items for an apparent planned scrapbook mounting most on paper with either glue or staples. The owner was a highly placed executive in an insurance company and travelled throughout the world extensively. They were active in politics through donations and fundraising and it appears their family was friendly with the Roosevelts especially Eleanor Roosevelt. The previous owner's work for the insurance company led them to meet with various heads of state worldwide including US government officials. Some of the people associated with this firm were also involved in World War II activities including financing the Flying Tigers in China as well as work for the OSS using knowledge gained from insurance work. While we have not found any direct connection to intelligence work by this owner their ties to those who did are strong. NB: we are starting the process of cataloguing four boxes of material from this individual both personal and business correspondence. More information on the collection available on request. Included in this lot: invitation to a 1966 dinner in honor of Takeo Fukuda Japanese Minister of Finance; invitation to a 1966 dinner in honor of Ferdinand Marcos President of the Philippines; invitation to a 1966 dinner in honor of Makato Usami Governor of the Bank of Japan; Several items relating to a 1967 state dinner with the Chancellor of the Federal Republic of Germany including the invitation from President Johnson; a wedding announcement and invitation to the reception of the marriage of Hope Aldrich daughter of John D. Rockefeller; a several page seating list to a 1966 banquet in honor of Ferdinand Marcos and his wife; a program to the preceding event; an invitation sent by Vice President Humphrey to a 1967 luncheon with the President of Mexico; an invitation and two other items to a luncheon in honor of Nikita Khrushchev in New York in 1959; a 1959 invitation to a dinner marking the presentation of the General William J. Donovan Memorial Award one of the founders of the OSS; an invitation to a special US Court of Appeals 2nd Circuit celebrating the 50th anniversary of Judge Learned Hand; a pamphlet invitation for a 1956 closed circuit telecast featuring Adlai Stevenson Harry S. Truman John F. Kennedy Eleanor Roosevelt and others. All in GOOD or better condition with some fold creases stapling or gluing some ink notations as to whether the invitations were accepted or declined and other minor wear. Most with binder holes punched along one side. No publisher unknown
1806réf. 022612Durham NH: No publisher 1806. Pamphlet. Good. State Highway List for 1806 to 1814 Handwritten. Durham New Hampshire Lt. Robert Burnham Surveyor and Toll Collector. No publisher place or date. Presumed circa 1806. Side stitched booklet of paper 7 leaves. Roughly 6 ½ by 4 inches. A handwritten record of the taxes or tolls paid by residents of Durham New Hampshire from the years 1806 to 1814. These were collected by Lieutenant Robert Burnham of Durham for use of Point Road to Bickford's Ferry. The booklet includes handwritten authorization from Strafford County explaining duties and rules. This includes allowing labor on maintaining the road to be used in lieu of taxes. The pay rate was set in the booklet. Burnham made use of every blank space on the paper writing upside down in the lines between older records. The list includes names and taxes paid. It appears Burnham fought in the Revolutionary War. Bickford's Ferry was an important crossing point in Durham allowing people to cross Little Bay to get to Newington Portsmouth and elsewhere prior to the building of the Scammel Bridge. Some names listed include the "wife of Valentine Smith" presumably referring to Judge Valentine Smith; Captain Jonathn Woodman Captain Mooney; Zebulon York listed at sea; Thomas Pinkham; Mary Chesley; "Widow" Elizabeth Hanson; Sally Burnham; Abigail Mooney and many others. The names are often accompanied by dates presumably of passage. GOOD condition. General toning minor soiling and staining to the paper. Some bumping minor chipping scuffing and curling along the edges. Some of the writing illegible due to overwriting. No publisher unknown
1867réf. 016429Boston: Samuel A. Drake Publisher 1867. Half-Leather. Poor. Half leather with cloth boards. 333 pp. Fold out map tipped in on the title page. A collection of short accounts/histories originally written in the 1600s that chronicled various wars and struggles between Native Americans and early colonists in the New England region. This includes Drake's account of the rise of hostility between Native Americans and colonists asserting that if white settlers had not been haughty and arrogant and considered Native Americans as equals little hostility would have arisen. Reprinted tracts in this include: The Present State of New-England with Respect to the Indian Wars; A continuation of the State of New England being a farther account of the Indian War; A new and farther Narrative of the State of New-England; a True Account of the most Considerable Occurences etc.; The War in New-England visibly Ended King Philip Beheaded etc.; News from New England being a True and last account; A farther brief and true Narration of the late Wars risen in New England. Title pages to each tract reprinted. POOR/FAIR condition. Slightly ex-library with an institutional stamp on the title page. Covers essentially DETACHED hanging by threads which will probably give out with much further handling. Minor fading scuffing and soiling to the covers. Heavy scuffing to the leather along the extremities spine and hinges with tearing and loss to the leather along the backstrip. Interior solid but a bit toned. Map foxed and a bit creased/wrinkled. Sabin 20879. Samuel A. Drake, Publisher unknown
réf. 016607No Place: No Publisher. Unbound. Good. No place or date presumed Dover New Hampshire circa 1869. Blue lined letter paper measuring approximately 10 by 8 inches. Blindstamp reading "Learned" within an emblem of some sort at the top left of each page. Pages attached along the left edge originating as single sheets folded into pages. 8 pages with 3 ¼ pages written on. "Libel for Divorce S.J. Hall vs D Hall" written on the reverse of one page. PLEASE NOTE: the truth to this letter and its contents has not at this time been verified. Research in local records and other sources has not turned up a record of a marriage between a Sarah J. Christie and Daniel Hall. A Daniel Hall did live in Dover New Hampshire during this period. He was a lawyer and served as an aide to President Lincoln. He may have spent time learning law in Dover under Daniel M. Christie who did have a daughter named Sarah J. Christie. Records do indicate a later marriage for her. It is possible that this is perhaps some sort of spoof or satire letter written for entertainment or other reasons unknown. Names of other residents of the area are included in the letter. A handwritten petition submitted to the Court of Chancery in Dover New Hampshire apparently written and signed by Sarah J. Hall maiden name Christie seeking a divorce from her husband Daniel Hall. The letter gives the date of marriage the location of the marriage ceremony and the justice of the peace who presided and asserts the author "has faithfully performed her duties devolving upon her as a faithful affectionate and loving woman." Ms. Hall then proceeds to state that Daniel has "wantonly cruelly and without any provocation whatever wholly abandoned and deserted her the said Sarah and left her destitute." Continuing the letter asserts that "Daniel wholly regardless of his duty as a husband . has at divers varied and sundry times and in immeasurable places and in promiscuous assemblies frequented the company of and consorted with divers strange and fascinating women." He is accused of writing letters filled with "protestations of love and undying attachment" and had passed himself off as being single. A particular incident is noted perhaps 1869 or 1859 date somewhat illegible at the house of a "notorious and public" character in Dover in which Daniel "lay his head in the lap of a certain abandoned woman." It seems Daniel also possessed a head of curly hair to the delight of his wife but that he cut off locks of said hair to give to various "beautiful and fascinating women." Secret small town scandal or satire GOOD condition. Horizontal fold creases present. Some splitting to the paper along the hinge. Some toning fading very minor spotting and soiling to the letter. No Publisher unknown
