London Published by W. S. Blake, 16 Change Alley, Friday June 27 1800, broadside, measuring 20 x 15¾ inches, some spotting and light staining to text, recent archival repairs to several short tears and nicks into edges of sheet, lower right hand corner torn away now repaired with recent paper replacement, with no loss of text, else a very good clean copy. This entirely engraved broadside, carries thirty-one lines of text which are highly laudatory of George Washington, as a man, general and leader of the United States. The text is surmounted by an engraved vignette of a lone rock, with the word Washington chiseled upon it, being battered by waves, in a storm tossed sea, a bolt of lightning flashes in the background, a small tree grows from moss upon the top of the rock. "This illustrious General and Politician was characterized by such rare endowments and such fortunate temperament that every action of his life was equally exempted from vice and from weakness. The powers of his mind and the dispositions of his heart were admirably suited to each other…" A rare broadside, OCLC locates only 1 copy of this broadside in America. This broadside was reprinted in Philadelphia in 1811, in letter press and un-illustrated, a copy of which I sold in my catalog twenty, number 62.

Freiburg im Breisgau Lithographie von B. Herder, [1849?] folding, lithographed map, measuring 20 x 26 ½ inches, the map is dissected into 18 panels and is mounted on linen, accompanied by the original worn paper board case. There is some light foxing and spotting, else a very good copy. Some borders partially colored by hand. This scarce map delineates the entire United States, portions of Canada and Mexico. The map shows portions of the West in considerable detail, however, the area consisting of Utah, Arizona, and Nevada is largely a cartographic blank, or "Oede Sane Wuste." The map also shows the Gold District, Wheat says of this map: "On this map the words "Gold District" appear in "Neu Californien" to north and south of New Helvetia, and west of the Sierra Nevada, which is named. All boundaries west of the Rockies, however, are those of 1819, and California is therefore still shown as part of Mexico. However it seems improbable that such a map could have been produced in Europe earlier than 1849, to which date it has somewhat arbitrarily been assigned, Scales of English and German miles and explanations of signs appear in the lower margin, below the map itself. No information is available as to its provenance." - Wheat, Maps of the Gold Region, 137; not in Phillips.

(Society of Friends' Philadelphia) From our Yearly Meeting held at Philadelphia, for Pennsylvania and New Jersey, from the 22d Day of the Ninth Month, to the 28th of the same (inclusive) 1759.
[Philadelphia: 1759] foolscap folio, 4 page bifolium, docket title on page four, formerly folded, now flattened, a very good clean copy. Formerly ascribed to the press of B. Franklin and D. Hall, removed on evidence of the non-Caslon double pica and English type which probably belonged to William Bradford, Jr. Evans 8350, Hildeburn 1627, see Miller, Benjamin Franklin's Philadelphia Printing, B84, p. 493-4. The epistle touches upon the French and Indian War: "…In former wars between the English and other nations, since the Settlement of our Provinces, the Calamities attending them have fallen chiefly on other places, but now of late they have reached to our Borders; many of our fellow Subjects have suffered on and near our Frontiers, some have been Slain in Battle, some killed in their Houses, and some in their Fields, some wounded and left in Misery, and others separated from their Wives and little Children, who have been carried captives among the Indians…"

Kay, Richard, English merchant and Traveler [Manuscript Journal of a Month's Residence in Buenos Ayres, 1819.]
folio, 72 leaves, the journal taking up 54 rectos and 15 versos, with an additional 10 leaves of miscellaneous notes, and the beginnings of a ledger. Contemporary paste paper wrappers, minor wear, in very good, clean and legible condition. A very interesting account by an Englishman sent to Buenos Aires to collect debts. The manuscript documents life in the city at a time of political unrest and civil war following Argentina's declaration of independence in 1816. Kay's account consists of a daily journal of his comings and goings, business and social appointments, etc. together with his observations organized under such headings as: "Of Buenos Ayres," "Of the People," "Of Religion," "Of the Gentlemen," and "the Promenade," "Society," and "Language." The account is written from the perspective of a loyal subject of the British Empire, with its attendant suspicion of Catholicism, democracy and Hispania. Kay discourses on a wide range of subjects, including street life and crime; food and lodging, tavern fare, cleanliness; the newly liberated lower classes; the social intricacies of the upper-class soirees, called tertullias; the church and its presence in the streets; carriages and transportation; bull fights; gaming and other amusements; the gauchos and their use of lassos and bolos; the prevalence of tobacco smoking; the siesta; the women, their costume and manners; various countrymen resident in the city; politics and current affairs; particularly the antagonism between the factions of Buenos Ayres and the Banda Orientale, and the generals Avear, Alvares, and Artigas. Kay mentions some of the people he encounters, including the wife and sister-in-law of Jose San Martin, Mrs. Bonpland, the wife of the botanist, diplomats and businessmen, numerous transplanted Englishmen, and the crew of his and other English ships. The narrative presents a richly detailed account of a foreign visitor's view of this turbulent period in Argentine history. The manuscript comprises some 9,500 words and is notated on the front wrapper, "Jan 1 1819 - Jan 30 1819. Society of Buenos Ayres." The text begins "On board the Ship Calcutta from Liverpool, bound to Buenos Ayres & Calcutta 31st Dec. 1821," there is initially some confusion between the two years, 1819 and 1821, in the initial entries, suggesting the manuscript was possibly copied in the latter year. The text is written dos a dos, and Richard Kay's name appears on the first page of the inverted position.

Harper, Robert Goodloe, Observations on the Dispute Between the United States and France, Addressed By Robert Goodloe Harper, Esq. One of the Representatives in Congress for the State of South Carolina, to His Constituents, in May, 1797.

Harper attacks French policies which were designed to impede American maritime trade. Chief amongst these was the policy stating that any vessel carrying English goods, or which was merely bound for England, was liable to be seized by French vessels, and the cargo taken as bounty. This was exceedingly popular work, which attests to the great urgency of this issue at the time, America was highly dependent upon English goods and commerce, and could ill afford strangulation by these French policies.
