1780ref. 59007but actually London: William Strahan 1780. Folio broadsheet 17½" x 11"; 3 horizontal folds the paper a bit dusty else very good. With its original separately printed title leaf folded into a wrap-around sleeve. In January 1776 Captain Bromedge wrote to Vice Admiral Schuldham regarding his boarding of the ship Boston Packet and his suspicion that they were carrying stores to the enemy. "I am informed by the crew of the Boston Packet that the Master declared repeatedly on the Passage that could he make Cape Codd he would go in there and land his cargo or could he make Cape Ann he did not fear meeting with some of his Friends to carry him into Beverly or Salem" see Naval Documents of the American Revolution Vol III p. 1005 for the full text of his letter. Regarding this and similar allegations Vice Admiral Graves issued the orders printed here specifically pertaining to the Boston Packet: "You are to seize and detain all Ships and Vessels belonging to the Inhabitants of the four New England Provinces and to send them to Boston." On the verso is printed Rear Admiral Schuldham's confirmation of Graves' order "the probability of these stores being smuggled away to the Enemy.makes me think it highly proper that they should be detained." In effect this is a Letter of Marque issued during the Revolutionary War but pertaining only to a particular class of merchant ships and to two vessels in particular one of which was the Boston Packet. Rare. OCLC shows only the John Carter Brown holding a copy. With manuscript additions dating the document September 1775 and addressing it to Captain Bromadge.

Colorado River Basin with material tied to Arizona Utah and the broader American West. 1946-1979 Archive of 26 items including 3 engineering maps 4 press silver gelatin photographs 15 issues of Peak and Prairie Sierra Club Rocky Mountain Chapter newsletter 1 Colorado River Storage Project pamphlet 2 government publications and 1 National Park Service NEPA circulation letter. Visible material includes contour maps and storage-capacity graphs reducing canyon topography to projected reservoir form; black-and-white press photographs showing Glen Canyon Dam under construction diversion tunnels excavation and early recreation on Lake Powell; and printed federal planning documents focused on road systems zoning wilderness recommendations and recreational use after inundation. 1 A Survey of the Recreational Resources of the Colorado River Basin. United States Department of the Interior National Park Service 1950; compiled from 1946 fieldwork.

Circa mid twentieth century. Three technical maps converting river terrain into contour lines section views and storage curves for projected impoundment and control.

This copy of Goldsmith's classic is delightful enhanced by the appealing illustrations of Thomson and the book's charming pictorial cover. Riviere is one of the foremost names in English binding partly because the firm did consistently fine work and partly because it was so long in business. Robert Riviere began as a bookseller and binder in Bath in 1829 then set up shop as a binder in London in 1840; in 1881 he took his grandson Percival Calkin into partnership at which time the firm became known as Riviere & Son and the bindery continued to do business until 1939. Written in 1761-62 but not published until four years later "The Vicar of Wakefield" was said to have been rescued from some of Goldsmith's unpublished manuscripts by Dr. Johnson who thus saved the penniless author from debtors' prison by selling it to a publisher for £60. Considered to be the masterpiece of the middle-class domestic novel the "Vicar" has never gone out of style because its whimsically delineated characters have a delightful simplicity that somehow insulates them against ultimate misfortune and the innocent and virtuous are rewarded as they should be in the end.

Early reports authorizing the construction of the railroad from NY to Albany are dated 1848; the 2nd Annual Report of the Directors of the Hudson River Railroad is dated August 1849 The New York & Harlem Railroad NY&H was incorporated in 1831 to build a line in Manhattan from 23rd Street north to 129th Street between Third and Eighth Avenues the railroad chose to follow Fourth Avenue. At first the railroad was primarily a horsecar system but in 1840 the NY&H's charter was amended to allow it to build north toward Albany. In 1844 the rails reached White Plains and in January 1852 the NY&H made connection with the Western Railroad later Boston & Albany at Chatham New York creating a New York-Albany route. The Hudson was a busy river and the towns along it felt no need for a railroad - except during the winter when ice prevented navigation. Poughkeepsie interests organized the Hudson River Railroad in 1847. 8vo 24 page pamphlet. Printed paper wrappers one folding sheet of statistics tipped-in.

Antique-style quarter calf and marbled papered boards; title page slightly dusty and a trifle marked with two tiny closed tears to the top edge; a few pencilled emphases to the margins; light vertical crease down the centre of the last six leaves; an excellent copy. The author Clerk of the Executive Council of South Australia was on board the vessel; this is his account of the first successful navigation of the Murray as far as Swan Hill by Captain Francis Cadell. Fellow-passenger James Allen also published his version of events. Captain William Randell and his paddle-steamer 'Mary Ann' left Goolwa at the Murray mouth ahead of Cadell and travelled much farther up the Murray but Cadell overtook him en route and reached Swan Hill first. However both men deservedly earned the bonus of 2000 pounds offered by the South Australian Government 'for each of the first two steamers to travel up the Murray as far as the Darling junction' 'Australian Dictionary of Biography'.

ref. 46401979, Londres, Nourse ; Paris, Desaint, 1767 ; 2 vol. in-12, veau fauve marbré, dos ornés, tranches bleues marbr. (Reliures de l’ép.). 1 f. blanc, faux-titre, titre, puis paginé de VII à XVI, 353 pp.- 2 ff., 547 pp.EDITION ORIGINALE in-12 parue en même temps et chez les mêmes éditeurs qu’une édition in-4. Dupont de Nemours a qualifié ce livre « d’ouvrage sublime ». C’est Le Mercier de La Rivière qui réussit à enthousiasmer Diderot pendant quelques mois pour la Physiocratie : « Il est le premier qui m’ait éclairé, qui m’ait instruit…Il est le seul qui m’ait donné des idées claires, nettes et vraies du commerce tant intérieur qu’extérieur, et de la nature du commerce en général » (Lettre à Damilaville 1767). « Subjugué par la cohérence de la doctrine exposée par l’auteur, qui avait été intendant des Antilles de 1759 à 1764, Diderot le recommanda chaleureusement à Catherine II puis l’invita en Russie. L’entente ne fut guère parfaite et Le Mercier séjourna seulement à Saint-Pétersbourg d’octobre 1767 à mars 1768. Adepte du despotisme légal qui n’est autre que celui de l’ordre naturel, Le Mercier donna un fondement philosophique à la doctrine économique de Quesnay. Le monarque physiocrate dispose à la fois des pouvoirs législatifs et exécutifs ; il est absolu, mais ce despotisme n’est nullement en contradiction avec l’indispensable liberté économique car le souverain n’est pas là pour faire des lois, mais appliquer les lois naturelles ; faire respecter la propriété et la liberté, telles sont les missions de l’Etat. L’ouvrage se termine par une théorie de l’impôt : le souverain héréditaire est le co-propriétaire foncier du royaume et l’impôt constitue une co-jouissance indispensable des revenus du Domaine » Hasquin. Diderot et son temps n°178 - Lavergne p.183.- INED 2794.- Einaudi 3307.- Kress-Goldsmith 10269.- Janet II p.637.Bel exemplaire avec un ex-libris manuscrit du XVIII e S. « Préau ». Cet ex-libris est rayé et remplacé par celui d’un certain N. Boussé ( ?) qui en avril 1846 a rédigé une note critique sur la garde du tome I.
