The scarce Paris Universal Exposition edition of J.P. Whitney’s early title on the silver mines of Colorado. Whitney a wealthy sportsman from Boston with investments in Colorado traveled as the sole commissioner from Colorado to the Paris Universal Exposition in an effort to entice foreign investment in the mining industry which was suffering from a poor reputation as the costs of extraction grew higher. Whitney had published this title in pamphlet form a year earlier. Whitney shipped his own collection of Colorado minerals to France where it was the most extensive of any of the North American regions to be displayed receiving a gold medal from Napoleon III. A new title on Colorado minerals Colorado in the United States of America: Schedule of Ores Contributed by Sundry Persons to the Paris Universal Exposition of 1867 With Some Information about the Region and its Resources.

1783réf. 34310Paris. February 4 1783. Preliminary Treaty of England and France On January 20 1783 terms for a general armistice between England and France and Spain were reached two months after terms with the United States had been worked out. A general armistice was agreed upon for February 4. This supplement to the Royal Gazette was probably the first publication of the terms of the British-French agreement. The French advantage after Yorktown had been largely lost with De Grasse's defeat in the Caribbean in 1782 so the net effect was largely a return to status quo with Caribbean possessions of both sides restored. Furthermore England's claims to Newfoundland were maintained and mutual fishing rights off the Canadian coast were agreed upon. Quarto. Later marbled boards leather label. Near fine.

réf. 28142 p.l. 192 pp. one leaf of errata. 8vo cont. calf joints nicely repaired flat spine gilt contrasting leather lettering piece on spine. London: Edwards; Paris: Laurent 1790. A priced copy of the Paris edition of this famous sale; an English edition appeared the next year. For a fascinating account of this catalogue and sale which caused traffic jams along Pall Mall see Arthur Rau’s “Bibliotheca Parisina” in The Book Collector Autumn 1969 pp. 307-17. Amongst the buyers at this sale were Lord Spencer Douce Woodhull Cracherode and the Duke of Newcastle. Thanks to the recent researches of Milton McC. Gatch “The Bibliotheca Parisina” in The Library Seventh Series Vol. 12 Number 2 June 2011 pp. 90-118 we finally know the identity of the consignor: Antoine Marie Pâris d’Illins 1746-1809 a military man who was forced to emigrate in 1792 because of conflicts with the Revolution. Rehabilitated by Napoleon Pâris d’Illins died as a general of the infantry during the Spanish campaigns at Cocana in 1809. See the entire article to learn more about the collector his library Edwards’s additions etc. We know that not all the books came from the one library; there were books from Loménie de Brienne masquerading under another provenance probably for political reasons and Aldines which Edwards must have obtained in Italy. Nevertheless this is one of the great sales of the period. Very good copy. The Paris edition is far rarer than the English edition. ⧠Gustave Brunet Dictionnaire de Bibliologie Catholique cols. 579-80–“Ce catalogue est d’une richesse remarquable…De forts beaux ouvrages provenant de la bibliothèque du cardinal Loménie de Brienne avaient été joints à cette collection.” De Ricci p. 89.

1875réf. 40335N.p. but possibly Paris. ca.1875. A Rare Series of Plates of Maritime Life on the Senegal Coast A volume of engravings depicting the voyage of the ship Bellone and seafaring life. Following the "title" plate which is numbered 21 are scenes of Africa primarily in Senegal. These plates depict the natives villages and cities. After the scenes of Africa are plates depicting maritime life evidently on a French naval vessel in the Atlantic. These images are much more delicately engraved and are not numbered. The first few of these detail a "day in the life" of a sailor from morning muster and breakfast through scrubbing the deck and inspection and shore leave. Two plates of Uruguay and two unidentified landscapes are also inexplicably inserted in the midst of this sequence. An interesting and perhaps unique compilation of travel and maritime images. Forty engraved plates. Folio. Contemporary green half calf and marbled boards spine gilt. Spine faded. Lightly rubbed at extremities. Bookplate on front pastedown. First plate lightly age-toned. Some very minor scattered foxing else bright and clean internally. Very good. hardcover books
