A rare original coastal survey of Blue Hills Bay in Maine including Ellsworth Surry Tremont Southwest Harbor Swans Island Blue Hill and Acadia National Park. 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.

1846Best.-Nr. 13085Saco ME: January 7 1846. 4pp. on a single large folio sheet of newsprint. Old folds minor foxing disbound from larger volume with tell-tale chips along binding edge. Still very good condition. An unusual appearance of a carrier's address printed on most of the back page of the January 7 1846 issue of The Union newspaper published in Saco Maine. The address itself is printed in three columns and contains typical news of the day particularly the imminent statehood of Texas and Oregon the election of Polk and Liberty Party presidential candidate James Birney former slave owner turned abolitionist and with several lines decrying the issue of slavery. An example of the latter from the middle column reads: "But change we now a while our verse Disunion threatens with its curse The land the great and good have blest With pure example wise behest And slavery rears her hideous head Among the sons of Freedom's dead. Was it t'enslave dark Afric's race Our country braved a tyrant base Unloosed our chains from England's Throne To rivet them on those at home How false the cry for Freedom dear From those who've strove from year to year T'extend to lands which should be free The blight of endless slavery!" There is also a passage concerning both Texas AND slavery also involving Birney: "As on the banks of Rio Grande The future slave of Texas stands And sees his children from him torn To bear the wrongs which he has borne Hie eyes suffused with bitter tears Glance up the long vista of years Among the sufferings of his race In hopes their author's name to trace; How does he start and heave a groan Birney he sees stands out alone!" The address is also interesting for the elaborate ornamental border composed of printer's ornaments including floral elements and patriotic symbols. This is the first time we have seen a carriers address integrated into the newspaper itself. January 7 unknown
