State Papers and Other Authentic Documents: Intended As Materials for An History of the United States of America (Philadelphia, 1792-1794) was the first published collection of American state papers and historical documents. His duties as surveyor-general of the post office (1777-1782) entailed extensive travel, and he took advantage of the opportunity to collect the documentary evidence and source-materials of early American history. In response to his petition to the Continental Congress on July 11, 1778, he was given permission to copy documents in the Continental archives, as well as a grant of one thousand dollars for expenses. He collected most of these materials before 1782, when he became Postmaster-General. The first two volumes entitled Historical Collections were published in Philadelphia from 1792-1794.” - American Philosophical Society. Very good. Rebound in half-leather.

Includes preface, extensive historical introduction, facsimile and transcript of proposal for publication, and the complete work, with notes following text. From the jacket: “This is the first publication of The Angel of Bethesda, Cotton Mather’s treatise on medicine, more than 250 years after it was written. Not only does its publication make available valuable material about one of the important figures in early American history, it puts in print the only systematic compilation of medical knowledge prepared in the English-American colonies. The very reasons the manuscript was ignored during the nineteenth century, make it of modern interest. The mingling of religious, occult and physical reflections, together with the great array of remedies, bizarre, benign and beneficial, attracted only the ridicule of the newly developing science of medicine. But the interested modern reader, not to mention historian, will find in this monument to Mather’s eclecticism abundant insights into the man, the social and cultural history of the period, and the history of medicine... Mather is known for his active support of inoculation as a preventive of smallpox; he also had a quite humane approach to psychotherapy and held what might be called a psychosomatic theory of illness; he recommended the use of new drugs such as ‘quinquina’ and ‘ipecacuanha’; he shared an ‘animalacular theory’ of epidemics which prefigured modern germ theory.” Near fine in very good jacket.

The authors vividly evoke a diversity of family patterns and experiences among racial and ethnic groups, including Afro-American slave kinship networks. They discuss how changes wrought in working-class families by the agricultural and industrial revolutions, the Great Depression and WW II affected family roles and relationships. Emerging from the relative stability of the 1950s and the largely mythical ideal of the nuclear family, today’s aging, individual-oriented society, transformed by a sexual

Naming Names, reissued here with a new afterword by the author, is the definitive account of the hearings, a National Book Award winner widely hailed as a classic. Victor S. Navasky adroitly dissects the motivations for the investigation and offers a poignant analysis of its consequences. Focusing on the movie-studio workers who avoided blacklists only by naming names at the hearings, he explores the terrifying dilemmas of those who informed and the tragedies of those who were informed on. Drawing on interviews with more than 150 people called to testify—among them Elia Kazan, Ring Lardner Jr., and Arthur Miller—Naming Names presents a compelling portrait of how the blacklists operated with such chilling efficiency.’ Very good.

An important work by the founder of New York’s Oneida Community - one of the most prominent of many utopian communities of the nineteenth century - published the year before it was founded. Herein Noyes discusses Perfectionism, the philosophy upon which the Oneida Community was designed. Noyes coined the term ‘free love’, and was of a group that believed in sexual freedom among consenting adults. Their community was characterized by complex marital arrangements, sharing of sexual partners, birth control, eugenics, and communal property. It inspired a number of similar communities in neighboring states, and existed for over thirty years, sustaining itself by establishing various industries, including the manufacture of silverware. Oneida Limited, a giant in the cutlery industry, had its beginnings in the commune, and still exists today.

Nantucket. Black & white woodcut illustrations throughout. From the foreword: ‘In presenting this bit of old-time romance in connection with the history of the quaint town of Nantucket, Massachusetts, the publisher’s desire is to preserve in substantial form what he esteems as a veritable classic, which has several times appeared in the public press. Its authenticity cannot be vouched for; yet there is a tone to it so savory of the period of which it treats, as to give color to a belief that it is real. In any event, it is a rare gem; and to save it for the pleasure of others, this eventful period in the life of a modest Puritan maiden of two centuries ago is published in this little souvenir volume.’ Good.

The Reverend Jonathan Ashley House, Deerfield, Massachusetts Heritage Foundation, Deerfield / Connecticut Printers, Incorporated, 1962. Limited edition, one of 2000 copies. xiv, 153 pp. Tall 8vo.

It is an example of Deerfield’s first 18th-century building boom. In the 1730s, successful Deerfield farmers enlarged old dwellings and built new ones often with stylish doorways in a distinctive Connecticut Valley style. In the 1750s, the Reverend Jonathan Ashley made substantial alterations to his house, such as a grand doorway, a central hallway staircase, and fine paneling. Inside the house visitors see furnishings owned by the Connecticut Valley’s ‘River Gods,’ the political-military-mercantile-ministerial elite that governed the towns of western Massachusetts until the American Revolution. Ashley bought cherry and mahogany furniture for his parlors and chambers, imported English and Chinese ceramics for tea and punch, prints that demonstrated his English allegiance, and textiles that gave comfort and color to domestic life. The Ashley House was the first restoration opened to the public by the founders of Historic Deerfield, Henry and Helen Geier Flynt, in 1948.” - Historic Deerfield -- $10

First edition. 106 pp., plus notes, selected bibliography and index. The Smithsonian American Art Museum, along with the National Portrait Gallery, occupies the historic Patent Office Building. One of the finest neoclassical structures in the world, its Greek Revival design dates from 1836. Completed in 1867 as the third Federal building in Washington, DC, this national landmark was hailed by Walt Whitman as ‘the noblest of Washington buildings’. Several important early American architects were involved in the original design of the building. Here inventors such as Alexander Graham Bell and Thomas Edison obtained title to their work. During the Civil War, it served initially as temporary barracks, hospital and morgue, and, in 1865, as the site of Abraham Lincoln’s second inaugural ball. In 1958, the Smithsonian acquired the building, saving it from demolition. An architectural adaptation gave it new life, and in 1968 the Smithsonian American Art Museum opened to the public.

This issue is significant for its close proximity to the outbreak of the American Civil War (it began less than a month later).

Woodson Institute Series) University of Virginia Press, Charlottesville, 2009. First edition. x, 251 pp., 1-page terminal publisher ad. Strategies for Survival conveys the experience of bondage through the words of former slaves themselves. The interviews—conducted in Virginia in 1937 by WPA interviewers—are considered among the most valuable of the WPA interviews because in Virginia the interviewers were almost all African Americans; thus the interviewees almost certainly spoke more frankly than they would otherwise have done. Dusinberre uses the interviews to assess the strategies by which slaves sought to survive, despite the severe constrictions bondage imposed upon their lives. Religion and escape were common means of coping with the indignity of family disruption, contempt, and the harsh realities of slavery. However, while Dusinberre recognizes the creativity and variety of slaves’ responses to oppression, he acknowledges the dispiriting realities of the limits of slave resistance and agency.

First edition. 264 pp. “Looking closely at both the slaves’ and masters’ worlds in low, middle, and up-country South Carolina, Larry E. Hudson Jr. covers a wide range of economic and social topics related to the opportunities given to slaves to produce and trade their own food and other goods--contingent on first completing the master’s assigned work for the day. In particular, Hudson shows how these opportunities were exploited by the slaves both to increase their control over their family life and to gain status among their fellow slaves. Filled with details of slaves’ social values, family formation, work patterns, “internal economies,” and domestic production, To Have and to Hold is based on a wide variety of primary and secondary sources, emphasizing wherever possible the recollections of former slaves. Although their private world was never immune to intervention from the white world, Hudson demonstrates a relationship between the agricultural productivity of slaves, in family situations that range from simple to complex formations, and the accumulation of personal property and social status within slave communities.” Fine. -- $35

In “Black Talk,” Mr. Sidran discusses how singular elements of black music such as a “vocalized tone” and a “peculiarly black approach to rhythm” helped Jazz evolve into a unique American art form.’ -- $10

Harvard Sitkoff offers not only a brilliant interpretation of the personalities and dynamics of the civil rights organization--SNCC, CORE, NAACP, SCLC, and others--but a superb study of the continuing problems plaguing the African-American population: the future that in 1980 seemed to hold much promise for a better way of life has by the early1990s hardly lived up to expectations. Jim Crow has gone, but, forty years after Brown, poverty, big-city slums, white backlash, politically and socially conservative policies, and prolonged recession have made economic progress for the vast majority of blacks an elusive, perhaps ever more distant goal.’ -- $5

First edition. ii, 576 pp. 8vo. A^2, B^8-2O^8. Original full calf, gilt titles & rules. An important copy of a work preserving documents the originals of which are largely lost (see below).

This copy belonged to Ebenezer Hazard, who compiled and published the first printed collection of American state papers in a two-volume work released in 1792. He likely used it as a primary reference, as the originals of works reproduced here would no longer have been available at the time he was compiling his work. Sabin 34069: “This collection of papers was published by Lieut.- Gov. Hutchinson, ‘to support and elucidate the principal facts related in the first part of the of the History of Massachusetts Bay, and may serve as an appendix to it.’ ‘The author of that History was possessed of many other ancient and very curious original papers, which are irrecoverably lost by an unfortunate event sufficiently known.’ (This alludes to the destruction of his papers by a mob, at the time of the Riots in Boston on account of the Stamp Act, in 1765.)’ - Rich. It is sometimes erroneously bound up and lettered as Vol. III. of the ‘History.’ It is a necessary adjunct to Hutchinson’s ‘History of Massachusetts Bay’”. Howes H-853. Evans 11300. Very good. Ebenezer Hazard’s copy, and later his son Erskine’s, with both of their names in ink on the title page.

“Ebenezer Hazard (1744-1817, APS 1781) was a publisher, businessman, an editor of historical documents and Postmaster-General of the United States. His two-volume work Historical Collections: Consisting of State Papers and Other Authentic Documents: Intended As Materials for An History of the United States of America (Philadelphia, 1792-1794) was the first published collection of American state papers and historical documents. His duties as surveyor-general of the post office (1777-1782) entailed extensive travel, and he took advantage of the opportunity to collect the documentary evidence and source-materials of early American history. In response to his petition to the Continental Congress on July 11, 1778, he was given permission to copy documents in the Continental archives, as well as a grant of one thousand dollars for expenses. He collected most of these materials before 1782, when he became Postmaster-General. The first two volumes entitled Historical Collections were published in Philadelphia from 1792-1794.” - American Philosophical Society-- $1250 215.

Sabin 20726: “This work was originally printed in numbers, as by W. D., M.D., the first of which appeared in 1747. The first volume was finished in 1749, the second in 1751. The death of the author, in October, 1752, prevented the completion of the work.” Evans 6992, 7885. Wright Howes, while acknowledging its significance, did not think much of it in terms of historical accuracy: Howes D436: “First American history of the whole country... A vast reservoir of untrustworthy information.” American National Biography, however, sees it differently: “His grand history, A Summary, Historical and Political, of the... British Settlements in North America, was first issued in serial form in 1747, then published in two volumes in 1749 and 1752. Opinionated and encyclopedic, it was an impressive achievement with an informative, if digressive, account of colonial life. Incomplete at his death, the Summary is an important source book, and it enjoyed a wide circulation among American and European intellectuals. Adam Smith used it in his research for The Wealth of Nations and had praise for the ‘’honest and downright Dr. Douglass.’’” (Peter R. Virgadamo). The reference to digression may be a result of Douglass’s tangent relating to the treatment of smallpox in this work: “Douglass sought to advance colonial medicine and to reform it along the lines of European institutions. He imported medical books, introduced new medicines, instructed local physicians, and began research on epidemic diseases such as smallpox. When smallpox broke out in 1721, he used Thomas Sydenham’s ‘’cold regimen’’ but to little avail as the worst epidemic in Boston’s annals swept through the town... After the epidemic Douglass focused his medical research exclusively on smallpox, determined to reduce the mortality rate of the disease in Boston. Before he could complete his work on a new method of treatment, another epidemic occurred in 1730. This time Douglass approved the use of inoculation but insisted upon strict medical controls. In 1730 he also published the preliminary results of his research, A Practical Essay concerning the Small Pox. A concise scientific treatise, this was the first colonial publication to utilize large-scale statistics for medical purposes.” (ibid)

First edition. 116 pp. Frontispiece of John Endecott. A biography of the English Puritan who became one of the earliest American settlers, and served as governor of the Massachusetts Bay Colony. Sabin 22561. Endecott’s career and personal life reflect many of the accommodations Puritan settlers had to make to life in the Massachusetts Bay Colony. Deeply concerned about matters of conscience, a godly man and worthy magistrate in the estimation of his peers, Endecott had to adjust to the realities of constructing in detail the grand plan for religious reform that Winthrop called a Modell of Christian Charity. Endecott’s problem, like that of many others, was to try to hold onto what he saw as timeless values in a changing society. But his achievements, like those of John Winthrop and the other founders of the Bay Colony, rest in the vigor of his attempts to construct a community that hewed as much as possible to Puritanism’s moral vision.

Four plates in text, including a facsimile of a letter to John Winthrop, maps showing the plans of the battles of Marston Moor and Naseby, and the great seal of the Commonwealth of England. “Vane, Sir Henry (1613-14 June 1662), Puritan political figure, was born at Debden, Essex, England, the son of Sir Henry Vane, a knight and the comptroller and treasurer of the English royal household, and Frances Darcy... By the age of fifteen, however, he had become a Puritan; he left Oxford and matriculated at Leyden, on the Continent. When he first brought up the idea of immigrating to New England, his father strongly objected, but the king himself intervened on his behalf... Vane arrived in Boston on 6 October 1635, and his prestigious family connections assured him immediate acceptance into the colony’s ruling circle John Winthrop greeted him as “a young gentleman of excellent parts,... [and] He was also drawn to the prominent clergyman ... Vane’s principal claim to fame as governor was his strong support of Anne Hutchinson and her followers during the Antinomian crisis. A deeply religious man, he was among the most radical of Puritans in Massachusetts. He went beyond even the Antinomian belief in “the indwelling of the person of the Holy Ghost in a believer” to espouse a “personal union” between the individual and the holy ghost (Winthrop, vol. 1, p. 201). He argued that ministers were not qualified to judge who was or was not a true believer, while insisting that he himself was called to the faith directly by God, without ministerial assistance... Vane was clearly one of the most committed religious enthusiasts to flock to Massachusetts in the first decade of settlement, and by all accounts he could be strident and irritating. Many found his religious writings confusing and incomprehensible, full of “flights of enthusiasm” and “ecstatic prophecies.” Yet others viewed him as generous and honest. Even Winthrop noted in 1645 that though the two had disagreed in the past, “yet both now, and at other times he showed himself a true friend to New England, and a man of a noble and generous mind.” As his life in England later showed, Vane was indeed committed to the Puritan cause, even if he defined it differently than the New England way.” (Dufour, American National Biography) Good.

First edition. vi, 676 pp. 8vo. A history of New England by the minister of Ipswich, Massachusetts William Hubbard, from the discovery of America through 1680. The prefatory notice quotes Thomas Hutchinson in his ‘The History of Massachusetts Bay’ as stating: ‘Many such [materials for an history of the Colony] came to me from my ancestors... among the rest, a manuscript history of Mr. William Hubbard, which is carried down to the year 1680, but after 1650 contains but few facts. The former part has been of great use to me: it was so to Dr. Mather in his history...” Also mentioned is the fact that the original manuscript copy’s beginning and end “mutilated... [and] in some places... scarcely legible,” which perhaps explains the deficiency mentioned by Hutchinson. Sabin 33443: “This work by the author of the ‘Narrative of the Troubles with the Indians,’; 1677, was never before printed, although the MS. was known to, and made use of, by Mather, Prince, and Hutchinson. Hubbard derived the most important part of his early history from Gov. Winthrop’s MS. Journal.” Howes H-754: “First printing of the original manuscript.” Good.

Yale University Press, 1963. First edition. viii, [1], 534 pp. 8vo. From the jacket: ‘During the first three decades of the seventeenth century the Dutch rose to a position of pre-eminence in the European exploitation of Southeast Asia. Mr. Masselman gives a graphic account of that rise from the building of the Holland dikes and the earliest Dutch efforts toward sea power to the consolidation of the influence of the United East India Company in the Indonesian Archipelago. The duels with England, , and Spain for control of the sea and trade, the exploration of sea routes to the Far East, the background history of Indonesia, and the birth there of capitalistic colonialism, are all examined. The dealings of the Dutch sailors and merchants who determined the character of early colonial policy and the documents on which their history is based are given more detailed treatment than has hitherto been available in English.’ Bibliography & index follow text.

This copy belonged to the Stowe family, and is quite likely the precise copy referenced in Harriet Beecher Stowe’s ‘Poganuc People’: “It was a happy hour when [father] brought home and set up in his book-case Cotton Mather’s “Magnalia,” in a new edition of two volumes.” (quoted in Baker, America’s Gothic Fiction: The Legacy of Magnalia Christi America, p. 5). Harriet is noted as among the authors influenced by this title (Hall’s Dictionary of National Biography). Given the importance of the work, and it’s influence on Harriet, it seems quite likely that it was passed down from her father Lyman to her family. Her husband Calvin’s ownership stamp (‘Rev. C.E. Stowe, Hartford, Conn.’) - appears on the title page of each. Signatures of Charles E. Stowe (‘Chas. E Stowe’) and Lyman Beecher Stowe on the front endpaper of each volume, indicating that it was also passed down from her to Charles (her son), and then to Lyman (her grandson). Likely among the most important copies of one of the most important works of American history and religion. Sabin 46393. Howes M-391: The “most famous 18th century American book.”

[Colonial] Maverick, Samuel; Dean, John Ward A Briefe Discription of New England and the Severall Townes Therein together with the Present Govern- ment Thereof. [Maverick’s Description of New England.] Boston: David Clapp & Son, 1885. First edition. 28 pp. Original pink printed wrappers, sewn binding. First edition, published for the first time in 1885 from the 1660 manuscript, after its discovery in the British Museum by Henry F. Waters, A.B. Includes new preface by John Ward Dean. Includes detailed information on the geographic location and size of various early colonial towns. From the preface: “The manuscript “Description of New England,” which is here printed, is a still more important discovery. Though it bears neither name nor date, there is internal evidence that it was written in the year 1660, after the return of Charles II., by Samuel Maverick, afterwards one of the king’s commissioners. Maverick, when Winthrop and his company arrived, was settled at Noddle’s Island, now East Boston, and was known to have been here some years before. The date of his arrival in New England has hitherto been unknown. This manuscript gives it as 1624. Maverick was then about twenty-two years old. An account of New England by one of the first white men who ever settled on the shores of Massachusetts Bay, one of the “old planters” whom Gov. Winthrop found here, is certainly of extraordinary interest to all students of our colonial history. Its fortunate discovery emphasizes in the strongest manner the great importance of the work which Mr. Waters is doing for us in England. This paper clears up many obscurities in our early New England history, and gives us definite information which we have long desired to obtain. It was probably presented to Sir Edward Hyde, afterwards Earl of Clarendon, who was then Charles the Second’s Lord High Chancellor. It may be the paper referred to by Maverick in his letter to the earl, printed in the Collections of the New York Historical Society for 1869, page 19. That letter and others in the same volume should be read in connection with the present paper. They show the persistency displayed by Maverick in his efforts to deprive New England, and particularly Massachusetts, of the right of self-government which had so long been enjoyed here. The same spirit is shown in his letters printed in the third volume of the New York Colonial Documents. The death of Maverick, which occurred between October 15, 1669, and May 15, 1676, did not bring repose to the people of Massachusetts. In the latter year a new assailant of their charter appeared in the person of Edward Randolph (see Register, xxxvi. 155), whose assaults on their liberties did not cease till the charter was wrested from them, and the government under it came to an end May 20, 1686.” Fair.

Deeply concerned about matters of conscience, a “godly man and worthy magistrate” in the estimation of his peers, Endecott had to adjust to the realities of constructing in detail the grand plan for religious reform that Winthrop called a “Modell of Christian Charity.” Endecott’s problem, like that of many others, was to try to hold onto what he saw as timeless values in a changing society.

302. [Colonial] Merriman, T.M. The Pilgrims, Puritans, and Roger Williams, Vindicated: and His Sentence of Banishment, Ought to Be Revoked. Boston: Estes & Lauriat / C.J. Peters & Son, 1891. First edition. xii, 312 pp. 8vo. Index follows text. A history of the struggle for religious liberty in the New England colonies, focusing on Roger Williams, his banishment from the Massachusetts Bay Colony, and subsequent founding of the Providence Plantations. Merriman shows the ways in which Williams was treated wrongly, and explains how his legacy as an advocate for religious freedom lives on. Roger Williams was a religious activist who campaigned for religious freedom, and founded the first Baptist church in America. He believed strongly in the separation of church and state, and also founded the Providence Plantation, which provided a safe haven for victims of religious persecution. He is often credited as America’s first abolitionist as well, in that he was the first colonist to organize an attempt to prohibit the practice of slavery. His strong beliefs often put him at odds with other believers: he was banished from the Massachusetts Bay Colony after speaking against the methods of government numerous times, and he and John Cotton engaged in a lengthy debate in print over various religious issues.

[Colonial] Sloan, Kim; Chaplin, Joyce E.; Feest, Christian F.; Kuhlemann, Ute A New World: England’s First View of America The University of North Carolina Press, Chapel Hill, 2007. First paperback printing. 256 pp. This beautifully illustrated book reproduces in full the famous and rarely seen British Museum collection of drawings and watercolors made by John White, who in 1585 accompanied a group of English settlers sent by Sir Walter Raleigh to found a col- ony on Roanoke Island, North Carolina. White’s duties included making visual records of everything he encountered that was then unknown in England, including plants, animals, and birds, as well as the human inhabitants, especially their dress, weapons, tools, and ceremonies. The collection also includes White’s watercolors of Florida and Brazilian Indians and of the Inuit encountered by Martin Frobisher. Here each work is reproduced in color and supplemented by engravings by Theodor de Bry and other comparable works. Kim Sloan’s introduction sets the scene, followed by chapters placing John White and his work in their historical, cultural, and artistic contexts. Joyce Chaplin explores how White’s contemporaries viewed his work and Christian Feest assesses its accuracy as historical documentation. Ute Kuhlemann examines the role of de Bry, White’s Frankfurt publisher and engraver. The book explores John White’s role as a colonist, surveyor, and artist who not only recorded plants and animals but also provided Elizabethan England with its first glimpse of a now-lost American Indian culture and way of life.

At the request of the colony government, Ludlow also compiled Connecticut’s earliest extant law code. Officially adopted in 1650, Ludlow’s Code, or the Code of 1650, drew heavily on Massachusetts law, especially the Laws and Liberties of 1648 and, to a lesser extent, the Body of Liberties of 1641... He was one of Connecticut’s three delegates to the Cambridge Synod of 1637, which dealt with Anne Hutchinson and her Antinomianism. As one of the colony’s representatives in 1643 he also helped negotiate the formation among Connecticut, Massachusetts, New Haven, and New Plymouth of the first intercolonial confederation, the United Colonies of New England.” (Jodziewicz, American National Biography).

[which includes:] Bradford’s History of Plymouth Plantation, Now First Printed from the Original Manuscript. Boston: Published for the Society, by Little, Brown, and Company., 1856. First edition. xix, xix, 476, [1] pp. 8vo. Facsimile page from manuscript precedes text. Introduction by Charles Deane, with footnotes throughout. The first appearance in print of William Bradford’s important and influential narrative of the Pilgrims and Plymouth Colony, written between 1630 and 1647. It vividly documents the Pilgrims’ adventures: their first stop in Holland, the harrowing transatlantic crossing aboard the Mayflower, the first harsh winter in the new colony, and the help from friendly Native Americans that saved their lives. No one was better equipped to report on the affairs of the Plymouth community than William Bradford. Revered for his patience, wisdom, and courage, Bradford was elected to the office of governor in 1621, and he continued to serve in that position for more than three decades. His memoirs of the colony remained virtually unknown until the nineteenth century. Lost during the American Revolution, they were discovered years later in London and published after a protracted legal battle. Sabin 7262: “An edition of fifty copies was privately printed for presentation by Mr. C. Deane.” Howes B703: “One of the best narratives of colonization ever penned.” It appears under separate title page here, in a volume that also includes a list of MHS officers and members, a memoir of Samuel Appleton (founder of the Appleton Publishing Fund) by Samuel K. Lothrop, and three appendices: Passengers of the Mayflower; Commission for Regulating Plantations; Verses in Memory of Mrs. Alice Bradford. Index follows text. ‘This ranks with Winthrop’s ‘Journal’ as one of the two most important works in early New England historical literature.

465. [Military; Civil War] Clark, Donald A. The Notorious ‘Bull’ Nelson: Murdered Civil War General Southern Illinois University Press, 2011. First edition. xvi, 254 pp. “Major General William ‘Bull’ Nelson played a formative role in the Union’s success in Kentucky and the Western theater of the Civil War. Now, Donald A. Clark presents a long-overdue examination of this irascible officer, his numerous accomplishments, and his grim fate. Clark sheds new light upon Nelson’s pre–Civil War years as a naval officer, when he became a hardened veteran of battle, fighting at the siege of Veracruz and the capture of Tabasco during the Mexican War in the 1840s... During September of 1862, in a crime that was never prosecuted, fellow Union general Jefferson C. Davis shot and killed Nelson after an argument. Clark explores this remarkable exception in military law, arguing that while the fact of the murder was indisputable, many considered Davis a hero for having dispatched the so-called tyrant. Although Nelson eventually received many posthumous honors for his indispensable role in the war, justice was never sought for his murder.” Fine. -- $20

473. [Military; Civil War] Davis, Jefferson; Wiley, Bell I. The Rise and Fall of the Confederate Government, in Two Volumes Thomas Yoseloff, 1958. xxxviii, 707; xviii, 808 pp. 8vo. 1958 facsimile reissue of 1881 original. From the slipcase: ‘This new, unexpurgated edition of an extremely rare classic in Civil War literature is an ‘apologia in retrospect’ by the President of the Confederacy who, upon his release from prison in 1867, attempted to justify the position of the South. In these volumes, which have been out of print for many years, Jefferson Davis examines the question of states’ rights and offers a detailed account of the movement toward secession and confederation. An entire volume is dedicated to the ‘deplorable fact of war’ - victories, defeats, and the final ‘subjugation of the Confederate States’ with all the attendant evils arising from the bitter hostility between victor and vanquished. The Rise and Fall of the Confederate Government is an important contribution to an understanding of the political, social, and military forces at work during the Civil War years. It is authentic living history, a unique appraisal of that memorable conflict by a man who played a vital and controversial role in the shaping of America.’ -- $120 474.

By the author of Schindler’s List. “On the last Sunday of February 1859, Dan Sickles, a charming young congressman from New York, murdered his good friend Philip Barton Key (son of Francis Scott Key) – who was also his wife’s lover – in Washington’s Lafayette Square. The shooting took place directly across the street from the White House, the home of Sickles’s friend and protector, President James Buchanan. Sickles turned himself in; political friends in New York’s Tammany Hall machinery, including the dynamic criminal lawyer James Brady, quickly gathered around. While his beautiful young wife was banned from public life and shunned by society, Dan Sickles was acquitted. American Scoundrel is the extraordinary story of this powerful mid-nineteenth century politician and inveterate womanizer, whose irresistible charms and rock-solid connections not only allowed him to get away with murder — literally — but also paved the way to a stunning career. Once free to resume his life, Dan Sickles raised a regiment for the Union political elite and went on to become a general in the army, rising to the rank of brigadier general and commanding a flank at the Battle of Gettysburg in a maneuver so controversial it is still argued over by scholars today. After losing a leg in that battle, Sickles fought on and after the war became military governor of South Carolina, and later was named minister to Spain, where he continued astonishingly to conduct his amorous assignations.” -- $10 495.

His analyses of McClellan and Grant are direct and convincing... He served briefly with the 14th New York Infantry, then received a commission in Battery A, (the Empire Battery) of the 1st New York Light Artillery.

Inscribed, signed & dated by author on title page. 91 pp. 2001 reissue of 1904 original, with introduction and new material by Patrick A. Schroeder. “Originally written and published in 1904 by a committee of veterans to verify North Carolina’s claims of being the first at the battle of Big Bethel, farthest to the front at Gettsburg and Chickamauga, and last at Appomattox - the last capture of Union cannons and the last volley fired by Lee’s army. The role of North Carolina troops in each engagement is discussed in detail. The Gettysburg section dealing with Longstreet’s July 3 assault may attract the most attention. Yet, North Carolina’s participation at Big Bethel and their advance and capture of artillery pieces at Chickamauga are also compelling. ‘The Last at Appomattox’ reveals scarce details about the final battle for the Army of Northern Virginia. This reprint offers everyone the opportunity to judge North Carolina’s claims for themselves. The use of this book for its maps, statistics, and as a primary source is invaluable. A new introduction, index, 34 photographs, seven maps, and material on the North Carolina monument at Appomattox have been added.” Near fine. -- $10

From the jacket flap: ‘...covers a period of twelve years from 1777 to 1789. The writer left Eton at the age of fifteen and enlisted in the 53rd Regiment, in which his father held a commission. Shortly afterwards he purchased an ensigncy, and in 1776 embarked with his regiment for Canada. The regiment came under Burgoyne’s command and Hughes’s diary proper begins on 18 September 1777, on which day he was taken prisoner in a surprise attack, nearly a month before Burgoyne’s final surrender. Hughes was a prisoner on parole for four years - nearly half of his journal. By the end of 1778, after many movements and some hardships, he found himself at New York, of which (as of other towns) he gives a careful description. He at length came back to England in charge of a party of invalids. In 1783 he went to Boulogne to learn French and lived there some time; his journal contains interesting details of social life in France. He was still in France at the celebration of the Peace of Paris in January 1784. That year, however, he rejoined his regiment in Canada and his journal contains much interesting topographical detail and some account of Indian customs. He died of consumption in January 1790.’ Very good in good jacket. Ink name on front endpaper, jacket edges rubbed with loss along corners, 2 inch split on front edge of jacket spine. -- $20

While he documents the breakdown of the great political machines, the extreme damage done to the Democratic Party by the “amateur Democrats” in the 1970s and the media’s role in hijacking the parties’ historical function of screening and selecting candidates, he shows that hopeful signs for party revival exist. Pointing to the success of the Democrats under John Kennedy and the Republicans under Ronald Reagan, as well as a host of earlier figures from Abraham Lincoln to Woodrow Wilson and Franklin Delano Roosevelt, Reichley show that strong leaders who convey a clear sense of purpose can marshall party loyalty to overcome the countervailing forces undercutting the nation’s political life.

Of particular interest are chapters on the free press and the liquor traffick (from the standpoint of temperance), but other essays raise interesting questions about the role of government that are still timely today. In the context of a law dictating that postmasters work on the sabbath, the author questions the validity of laws that run counter to religious beliefs of the citizenry. Another passage, from a chapter examining self- ishness vs. self-denial, is also pertinent to some of today’s political debates: “The selfishness of many has already, to a fearful extent, converted the business operations of the people into desperate games of chance, and the service of the nation into a miserable scramble for office.

In the late 17th century Sowle was negotiating with Quakers to print their founders’ works (Jones, Women and Literature in Britain, 1700-1800, 145), and has received recognition as an important figure in Quaker printing (Maureen Storey, Soul Search, April 2007). Both works focus on the religious persecution of the Quakers, including ‘whippings, chainings, finings, imprisonings, starvings, burning in the hand, cutting off ears, and putting to death,’ as well as defamation in print by such figures as Cotton Mather.

Howes B796. Brodhead retired from the diplomatic service to write his History of the State of New York; the plan was for a four-volume work. The first, covering the period 1609-1664, was published in 1853. That same year, President Franklin Pierce appointed Brodhead naval officer of the port of New York... Brodhead’s duties as naval officer delayed publication of the second volume (1664-1691) until 1871. Brodhead never completed the third volume (1691-1789)... In an era when document copies were made by hand, Brodhead’s massive collection of early New York papers was remarkable. Unfortunately, the quality of the transcriptions vary from highly accurate to extremely poor. His History of the State of New York, still the standard work on New Netherland, earned Brodhead his reputation as a historian.” (American National Biography, David William Voorhees).

Smith, Syracuse, 1860. 1860 seventh edition. 739 pp., 12-page section of advertisements for educational institutions follows text. “When it was completed in 1860, the Historical and Statistical Gazetteer of New York State was a unique work. Developed originally to compliment a map that was produced from totally new field surveys, the gazetteer presents a wide variety of information on the people and places within the Empire State. Today this gazetteer is a researchers dream. It contains detailed information on most of the business up to that time within the state, information on early land grants and descriptions of places, communities, events, and personal observations of the times. Well documented, much of this information could not be assembled in modern times as the original records have long since been destroyed. For those researching events of history or the people that made up the Empire State prior to 1860, this Gazetteer is often the first reference work sought out. For those that wish to learn more about their communities in a bygone era, we highly recommend this as a tool.” Fair. Lacks map.

He believed strongly in the separation of church and state, and also founded the Providence Plantation, which provided a safe haven for victims of religious persecution. He is often credited as America’s first abolitionist as well, in that he was the first colonist to organize an attempt to prohibit the practice of slavery.

This is more than simple coincidence, though: Starbuck was a prominent Quaker family name in Nantucket. Several of them were whalers, and an island in the South Pacific whaling grounds is named after them. Near fine. Lacks slipcase.
