Bifolio of four pages approximately 550 words in part: Responding to a recent letter from the Ex-President: "With a view to ascertain by experiment the use of a machine most notable for different horse power I am now constructing one at Salem designed nearly as I could calculate from theory for two horse power which I expect will be completed in about a fortnight . I am at this time uninformed of the extent & population of the counties you mention; but as it would be advantageous & highly gratifying to me to have the machine introduced into Virg. under your auspices I assure you I shall be very moderate in my terms for the right of using it in the counties named .

ref. 46400496, Paris, Edme Martin, 1651; in-4, vélin ivoire de l'époque. 12 ff.,n.ch., 740 pp.- 6 ff.n.ch. EDITION ORIGINALE. Né au Mans en 1592, J. Bondonnet fit profession de suivre la règle de St Benoît en 1610 chez les religieux de St Vincent. En 1614 il fut nommé bibliothécaire de ce couvent. Il fut le premier des moines à qui fut confiée cette charge nouvelle. Cet homme pieux fut aussi un grand savant. Ayant étudié le grec et l'hébreu, il se spécialisa cependant dans l'histoire. Un laïque, Le Corvaisier de Courteilles préparait un livre su les anales de l'Evêché du Mans. Bondonnet résolut de fouiller les mêmes archives. L'ouvrage de Le Corvaisier parut en 1648. Le travail de Bondonnet, ainsi qu'il est dit sur le titre, apporte de sérieuses corrections. Il ne s'est pas contenté de corriger les lacunes et les parties fautives de Le Corvaisier, il lui reprocha d'avoir pêché par excès de prudence en rejetant les légendes qui charment tant les dévots. A la suite du livre on trouve une Réponse sommaire à la défense anticipée du Sieur de Courteilles. C'est une dissertation de 30 pages contre la chronologie de Le Corvaisier.

A rare original coastal survey of Blue Hill Bay including Swans Island Deer Isle Mt Desert and Tremont. Established by President Thomas Jefferson in 1807 as the Survey of the Coast the U.S. Coast and Geodetic Survey was the United States' first civilian scientific agency. This agency has followed its mission to survey the U.S. coastline create nautical charts of the coast and help increase maritime safety since its founding and has often played fascinating roles in significant chapters of U.S. history. It served in all theaters of the Civil War in the service of the Union Army and Navy pioneered acoustic exploration in the wake of the sinking of the Titanic and during WWI it worked to detect enemy submarines. In addition this agency worked to survey and produce detailed maps and renderings of the U.S. coast. These nautical survey maps commonly referred to as "T-sheets" provide fascinating insights into the history of the United States coastline which has and will continue to shift. These maps are the most important data source for understanding the physical and ecological characteristics of the U.S. shoreline. The present map is a highly detailed and accurate sea chart of Blue Hill Bay and an important historical view of developing Maine. Published by the United States Coast and Geodetic Survey unknown

ref. 13977Paris, Dezobry, E. Magdeleine et Cie., 1859. 3 volumes. ccxv, 310 pp.; 479, (1) pp.; 594 pp. 8vo. Contemporary half morocco, marbled boards, spine with raised bands and gilt lettering. First edition. The publication of these volumes, from Mss placed at disposal by Maine de Biran's son, made it possible for the first time to present a coherent and connected view of the author's philosophical development. Maine de Biran was born Marie François Pierre Gonthier de Biran, receiving the name 'Maine' from the name of his family's property (le Maine). He became acquainted with the Idéologues Cabanis and Destutt de Tracy by winning first price in an essay contest sponsored by the Institute of France with the essay L'influence de l'habitude sur la faculté de penser. While continuing to write outstanding philosophical and psychological essays, he intensified his political activities, became a member of the Chamber of Deputies, and was made commander in the Legion of Honor.'Maine de Biran is the philosopher of the Empire who has best endured the test of time. His works were hailed by the National Institute, the Academy of Berlin, and the Academy of Copenhagen. He has been called "the reformer of Empiricism" because he was fully imbued with the sensationalism of the idéologues yet went beyond them by insisting on a distinction between active and passive faculties' (Emmet Kennedy in Historical Dictionary of Napoleonic France, 1799-1815, p. 319). - Bookplate of Bibliothèque J.C. Régis Thomas on front paste-down, a very fine copy of a rare book.
