[ Manuscript] A Series of 10 Family letters from Rebecca (Morton) and Gideon Carpenter of Vermont to Phebe (Morton) and Peter Vaughan of Middleborough, Massachusetts, 1827-1848. A collection of ten (10) letters primarily from Rebecca Carpenter to her sister Phebe Vaughan but occasionally contain correspondence between Peter Vaughan and Gideon Carpenter. Letters are on 12 Â½? x 8? single fold papers and folded to create stampless covers, six covers have stamped postmarks. Letters are predominantly from the 1820?s. Â· Earlier letters are addressed to Peter but are to ?sister.? They discuss family and friends, health issues, money, and children. Â· Peter and Gideon discuss business; Peter sends a horse for Gideon to sell. Â· An undated letter to Peter reveals Gideon is paying a man to search for Morton family land in England as he hears that the family overseas has come into a land fall. He hopes for names, marriages, births, and deaths in order to prove a relationship. Â· Rebecca discusses daily life, spinning, washing, not wanting to cut her young son?s hair. She mentions a feeble child and one who was recently buried after ten weeks with ?dropsy in the head.? Â· Rebecca?s health is not well and their mother comes to live with her. Â· Rebecca shows deep concern that Gideon is not a farmer but that he is unable to make a profit at his trade. Â· She wonders if he might be able to work his trade if they are able to move ?down there? to the New Bedford and Taunton areas. She requests Peter to send any information possible. Â· She expresses happiness that Phebe has received the ?Pearl of great price? probably referring to Matthew 13:45-46, King James Version and hopes she will not stop until she achieves ?perfect love.? Joseph Smith who later began the Church for Latter Day Saints, grew up in nearby Sharon, VT. Â· Later letters mention their mother losing her faculties, Rebecca?s son Charles buying a house and her moving in. She details the house and property, explaining she has two rag rugs, a wood shed that will hold two cords, the number of rooms, and how the house has a pump to the cistern that brings water to the sink in the kitchen. The last letter shows Rebecca?s severe ill health and her inability to work, the boys helping and her daughter Jane helps as much as possible. Rebecca has extreme pain and the doctor recommends blisters and bleeding.

        The Campaign in India, 1857-58.

      London: Day & Son,, 1859. From Drawings made during the eventful period of the Great Mutiny. Illustrating the military operations before Delhi and its neighbourhood. Folio. Original dark red half roan professionally restored (inner joints strengthened), red pebble-grain cloth sides (with decorative blind-stamped panels), front cover gilt lettered and with a large gilt pictorial stamp. Tinted lithograph vignette title and 25 plates (on 19 sheets) by Simpson, Walker, Bryson, McCulloch, Needham, Jones, Laby or Picken after Atkinson. Marginal closed-tears to plates and letterpress skilfully repaired, letterpress foxed but overall a very good copy. First and only edition of this superb, but notoriously fragile, pictorial record of the Mutiny. The illustrations, genuinely spirited and exhibiting an eye for the telling detail, are based on the very accomplished sketches made by Atkinson (1822-1859) while he was serving as a captain with the Bengal Engineers (Ambala Division). He is better known for Curry and Rice (1858), his satirical view of social life in India during the Raj - also illustrated with lithographs - which was enormously popular and went through many editions.

        Friedrich von Schiller's Bibliothek. Mit einem Facsimile aus seinem eigenhÃ¤ndigen BÃ¼cherverzeichnisse. Zum 10. November 1859

      One large folding facsimile plate. 16 pp. Small 8vo, orig. printed wrappers, stitched as issued and bound in modern wrappers. Berlin, J.A. Stargardt, 1859. One of a very few surviving copies of this bookseller's catalogue of a significant portion of the library of Friedrich von Schiller (1759-1805), the German poet, philosopher, historian, and playwright. In 1851, the bookseller and auctioneer Stargardt acquired this part of Schiller's library from his son Karl. It proved difficult to sell, and in 1859 he produced the present catalogue, selling the collection in 1860 to the Hamburg bookseller I.S. Meyer. Meyer also had difficulties selling the collection, and in 1862 he held a lottery, which was won by a merchant named Helmcke, who received the 156 books and the manuscript list as his prize. Helmcke gave the collection to the Hamburger Stadtbibliothek in 1867, where it was absorbed into the general collections and the duplicates dispersed. In 1905 the remaining 114 volumes were reassembled and shelved separately. The engraved folding plate is a facsimile of a manuscript list of the books in Schiller's hand. Fine copy preserved in a green morocco slipcase. ? Roland Folter, Deutsche Dichter- und Germanistenbibliotheken, 664.

        ALS ("J. Ericsson"). No place, 22. III. 1859.

      1859. 4to. 1 p. To a gentleman: "My Dear Sir: The anticipated breaking of frank's main leer, through the runner, has come and came, as unfortunately must, in every engine doing any thing like maximum work. I am induced to ask what action Msrs. Clute have taken in the matter. You remember my letter of the 13th March, which I sent to you and in which I urged it as an imperative necessity for Msrs. Clute to put wrought levers on the cast rack shafts in every engine cast in the manner complained of? I hope Mrs. Clute, in the face of my letter, has not sent down a new batch of engines without doing what they expressed themselves willing to do. Should the matter have been neglected, then order them at once to send your wrought iron main levers as fast as they can make them and let Banks turn the rack and put the levers online." - In a lengthy postscript, he continues: "Frank's engine is being pushed at Delmatins (?) with all possible speed but quadruple work has been done to which was expected. The engine appears to have been kept at white heat for hours as the vessel in the supply picture was completely burnt out." - The Swedish-born engineer Ericsson made numerous changes to the steam engine. By 1859, Ericsson was working on war ships, and by 1862 he designed and built his famous ship, "The Monitor", inaugurating a new era in warfare by creating vessels capable of launching torpedoes. A superb, scientific letter.

        Fuei shinsetsu [trans.: Manual of Gynecology, Obstetrics, and the Nursing Care of the Newborn]

      Many woodcut illus. in the text. In Chinese with Japanese reading marks. 47; 27 folding leaves. Two vols. 8vo, orig. wrappers (Vol. II with some minor marginal worming), new stitching. Kyoto: 1859. First edition to be published in Japan of a quite fascinating book. Hobson (1816-73), after studying medicine at University College, London, served with the London Missionary Society in China. Hobson arrived in Macao in 1839 and spent about twenty years in China in hospitals in Macao, Hong Kong, Canton and Shanghai. He was a pioneer in proposing the establishment of a medical school in Hong Kong for Chinese students and wrote many books, including an English/Chinese medical dictionary. A serious student of the Chinese language, Hobson also wrote in Chinese a series of four original medical books with two Chinese collaborators: Outline of Anatomy and Physiology (Quanti xin lun, 1850), First Lines of the Practice of Surgery in the West (Xiyi lÃ¼elun, 1857), Practice of Medicine and Materia Medica (Neike xinshuo, 1858), and the present work (1858). These books were not translations of individual European medical works but entirely new and unique distillations of what Hobson considered to be the best in Western medicine. They were widely used within the Chinese missionary medical schools for the rest of the century. Their immediate success caused the present work to be quickly published in Japan as well. A copy had been presented by one of Hobson's Chinese assistants to the Japanese publisher Fukuchi who added the Japanese reading marks and issued it in Tokyo for the Japanese market in 1859. Vol. I deals with conception, pregnancy, and birth. The second volume is concerned with pediatric medicine. The fine woodcuts depict many views of the pelvic girdle, the fetus in utero, and birth positions. Fine set.

        Document - Act to Encourage Immigration to Guyana from China - Chinese Females

      British Guiana, 1859. Georgetown, Demerara, British Guiana, 4 February 1859. "An Ordinance Further to Encourage Immigration from China" which deals specifically with the immigration of Chinese females Original Act from the colonial Court of Policy issued and signed in the original by Sir Philip Edmond Wodehouse, Governor and Commander in Chief of British Guiana, and also by William Walker, Secretary for Wodehouse, and former Governor of the colony. Tall 8vo. 2 pages, one double-leaf, blue watermarked paper made by E. Towgood in 1858 and measuring approximately 19,5 x 31 cm, printed at the 'Colonist' Office. With official paper seal and two original signatures. Very good condition, crisp and bright. Rare. Sir Philip Edmond Wodehouse GCSI KCB (1811-1887) was a British colonial administrator, serving as superintendent of British Honduras from 1851 to 1854, and ruling the colony as Governor of British Guiana from 1854 to 1861. His administration is largely remembered by two enormous negro riots, the second being in response to the highly unpopular imposition of a Registration Tax, often referred to as a Head-Tax, which was instituted in 1856. The second riot was on 25 July 1857, the governor and his retinue being attacked and pelted by a large mob of negroes, and several persons injured. Vice-Admiral William Walker, was twice Lieutenant Governor and Commander in Chief of the Colony of British Guiana, from 1848-1849 and from 1853-1854. He entered British Colonial Service in 1836, becoming Lieutenant Governor and Government Secretary of British Guiana in 1847. He also served as Acting Governor in 1857 and in 1861, during the tenure of Lieutenant Governor Sir Philip Edmond Wodehouse, most likely when the latter took leave for rest or recovery from attacks by civilians opposing his tax laws. In 1867 he was part of a committee preparing for British Guiana's participation in the Universal Exhibition held in Paris. With this signed Second Opium War legislation document, British Guiana's colonial governor Philip Wodehouse provided incentive for plantation owners to draw in Chinese women, and effectively acknowledged the futility of the contentious Head Tax. The detested head tax imposed on British Guiana planters was still in effect when the present Ordinance was instituted. Designed to encourage planters to immigrate Chinese women specifically, as indentured labourers or simply as residents for a more balanced Chinese community, and essentially eliminating the problematic effects of said taxing policy, this ordinance in fact waived the head tax under certain conditions. Wodehouse was a coffee planter himself, and thus intimately acquainted with the subject of supplying labour for plantations. It is no surprise then, that he acted swiftly to recreate enticing emigration policies. The Governor was an instrumental party in the experimentation of emigrating Chinese labourers to British Guiana at the expense of the planters, and continuously promoted immigration. [Colony of British Guiana Head Tax: In 1856, purportedly to recover costs of damages done by the Portuguese Riots of 1856, a Registration Tax was imposed, known more commonly as the Head-Tax, being $2 per man and $1 per woman. Persons under the age of sixteen were exempt. Plantation administrators and indentured workers were both required to register, so that no one failed to be counted. Estate managers were permitted to deduct the wages of new immigrants to a maximum of 32 cents per month, thus fostering resentment in the workers. The plan was most ineffective; funds largely being applied to costs created by the process itself, including salaries for the collectors and registrars, travel and administrative costs, etc. The District Registrar was the collector of Head money. In 1894 the Head-Tax would finally be abolished.] Immediately following this Act, the first Chinese women were transported to British Guiana. On 24 December 1859 the clipper ship 'Whirlwind' sailed from Hong Kong with 304 men and 33 women, of which 7 were boys under the age of 15 years, and 4 were girls under 13 years of age. The voyage lasted 78 days, arriving at Georgetown late in the afternoon of 11 March 1860. Not a single death occurred. Thus, the first Chinese women and girls landed in Georgetown seven years after the arrival of the first Chinese men and boys. At the close of the year five more ships departed from Hong Kong and Canton for British Guiana, landing 1966 men and 331 women, including 53 boys, 26 girls and 18 infants. In succeeding years, ships continued to sail from the ports of Hong Kong, Canton, Amoy, Swatow, and Whampoa with Chinese immigrants who included a disproportionate amount of women. The 'Dartmouth' which made the final voyage, sponsored by Hyde, Hodge & Co., started from Hong Kong on 24 December 1878 and after 81 days arrived in Georgetown with 515 passengers. The document further represents a significant change in China's emigration policy, for the first time disregarding traditions and prejudices that kept women planted firmly at home to produce male progeny. Without the introduction of females, long-standing Chinese communities would not have been established in British overseas colonies and the search for labour sources would have been perpetual. [China's emigration policy concerning women: Chinese women were traditionally and strictly forbidden from emigrating elsewhere, even in the case when their husband did so. The female's primary and sacred function was to produce male offspring, and to rule the home, her role and obligation so bound up with the extended family or clan, that she seldom left her own village. In part owing to the large number of women becoming destitute widows during the 1850s clan feuds, in 1858, authorities in the provinces of Kwangtung and Kwangsi, both served by the city of Canton, began to encourage people to migrate, women included. This enabled British recruiting agents to finally contract female labourers. The widows were often chosen as 'wives' by the men going overseas, the latter being granted a $20 bonus for having a wife accompany them. Entire families were also emigrated.] Excerpts from the document: "Whereas it is expedient to extend and also to amend the provisions of the Ordinance No. 17, of the year 1858, intituled, An Ordinance to Encourage Immigration from China..." "... it was resolved... That in the event of its being found possible to procure the immigration to this Colony of female Chinese immigrants, this Court pledges itself to defray the cost of their introduction..." "Her Majesty's Government may direct... such proportions of females as to them may appear proper... placed on board every vessel leaving China or Hong Kong for this Colony with Chinese labourers... a number of females, proportioned to the number of labourers to be introduced during such season, shall be shipped... the Governor shall not direct the payment of the passage unless the master of the vessel claiming the same, shall produce a certificate from the Emigration." "The Governor may direct payment to be made... of a portion of the passage money of any Chinese females introduced into this Colony, at the rate of Fifty Dollars for each adult." "No Chinese female shall be compelled to labour on the plantation to which she may be allotted... every contract to be made with any such Chinese female... may be renewed for a period not exceeding three years..." "Schedule:... Chinese Female... shall reside on such plantation in British Guiana... for a term of five years... the Proprietor of the plantation... shall supply ... free of cost... suitable lodging... medicines, nourishment, and medical attendance..." End excerpts. With the Second Opium War (1856-1860) the British Empire sought to legalize the opium trade, to expand and regulate the coolie trade, to open all of China to British merchants, to exempt foreign imports from internal transit duties, and to suppress piracy. France joined Britain in the war while Russia supported the final campaign, port treaties, and so forth. At the conclusion of the war, the Convention of Beijing indeed caused the opium trade to be legalized, the Chinese government levying a small import tax on opium. The agreement also facilitated easier access to China with the opening of five treaty ports, and, for the first time, foreign merchants were also permitted access to the vast hinterland of China beyond the coast. By this time, opium imports to China had reached 50,000 to 60,000 chests a year, which would continue to increase for the next three decades. British Guiana was the name of the British colony on the northern coast of South America, now the independent nation of Guyana. The area was originally settled by the Dutch as the colonies of Berbice, Demerara, and Essequibo, then captured by the British in 1796 and officially ceded in 1814, and consolidated into a single colony in 1831. Slavery had been abolished in Great Britain in 1834, on paper at least. The Chinese community has played an important role in British Guiana since 1853. Nearly fourteen thousand (14,000) Chinese arrived in British Guiana between 1853 and 1879 on 39 vessels from Hong Kong to fill the labor shortage on the sugar plantations engendered by the abolition of slavery. Leaving their homeland under indentured labor contracts, in the early years, many were "the offscourings of Canton - gaol-birds, loafers and vagabonds," who swiftly deserted the plantations and took to bootlegging, burglary and robbery and kept brothels and gambling houses. Eighty-five percent of these immigrants were men, and most returned to China or emigrated to other parts of the Guianas and the Caribbean after completing or escaping their indentures. Those who remained soon turned to trade, competing effectively with the Portuguese and East Indians, who had also entered as indentured laborers, in the retail sector. Look-Lai reports important Chinese import and wholesale traders by the 1880s and that the 1890s saw Chinese "druggists, butchers, hucksters, cart and boat cab owners, barbers, laundrymen and legal sellers of opium and ganja (marijuana)" and holding fifty percent of food shop licenses and ninety percent of liquor licenses. By the end of the 19th century, the Chinese had transcended their early reputation for criminality and come to be regarded as worthy, law-abiding, industrious citizens. The Governor of British Guiana was the Crown representative in British Guiana. The office existed from 1831 when the colonies of Demerara-Essequibo and Berbice united as British Guiana until 1966 when Guyana attained independence. The Court of Policy of Guiana in South America was a legislative body established in 1732 by Dutch authorities, which continued, with some administrative changes when the region came under British rule, until 1928. For most of its existence it formed the Combined Court together with the six Financial Representatives. The Court of Policy and the courts of justice, controlled by the plantation owners, constituted the center of power in British Guiana. The colonists who sat on the Court of Policy and the courts of justice were appointed by the governor from a list of nominees submitted by two electoral colleges. In turn, the seven members of each College of Electors were elected for life by those planters possessing twenty-five or more slaves. Raising and disbursing revenue was the responsibility of the Combined Court, which included members of the Court of Policy and six additional financial representatives appointed by the College of Electors. In 1855 the Combined Court also assumed responsibility for setting the salaries of all government officials. Finally, in the late 1880s, pressure from the new Afro-Guyanese middle class for constitutional reform was increasing. . Very Good.

And having in no model the similitude's and analogies applicable of other systems of government, it must, more than any other, be its own interpreter, according to its text and the facts of the case."

        MANUSCRITO - EMBAIXADA PORTUGUESA À TAILÂNDIA - 1859 - Brigue ?Mondego? de S. M. F. ? Viagens: de Macáo a Siam.

      - [Título] Brigue ?Mondego? de S. M. F. ? Viagens: de Macáo a Siam.? de Siaõ a Singapore e de Singapore a Macáo. ? De Janeiro a Maio ? 1859. [Por] Lúcio Albino P[ereira] Crespo 2º Tenente da Armada. 1 volume (de 19,5x12 cm) com 37 fólios. Brochado em papel decorativo da época. Datas extremas do manuscrito: Dia 8/9 de Janeiro de 1859 - Dia 13/14 Maio de 1859. O presente manuscrito, realizado a um só mão muito firme e legível e sem qualquer hesitação ou erro, é um diário de bordo do brigue de guerra português «Mondego», em 1859. O formato do papel e a forma impecável como se apresenta este diário pressupõem que seja um extrato ou cópia factícia do Livro de Bordo do navio, transposta numa dimensão mais portátil, e realizado na época (possivelmente no mês seguinte à viagem, conforme data no colofon) com algum propósito comemorativo da viagem da Missão Especial, ou Embaixada, enviada pelo Rei D. Pedro V ao Rei do Sião. Em colofon: «No dia 15 de Maio, tendo o pratico do rio a bordo, suspendemos e fizemos-nos de vela, demandandio a Fortaleza de S. Tiago da Barra de Macao, por onde passámos depois das 6 horas da manhã, com vento S.SSE regular - Seguimos pelo rio acima com o pano estuigado, e fundeámos defronte da Alfândega às 7 horas da manhã - fazendo-se a amarração a dois ferros - como de costume = Findando desta maneira a Commissão da Embaixada a Sião = e ficando-se preparando o navio, para outra igual Comissão para Pachely, e Japão. 1859/6/5. » Há neste pequenino livro manuscrito, a par do inegável mérito do rigor como é apresentado na sua forma de ciência náutica, um enorme valor histórico e ainda um precioso acrescento ao Relatório Oficial ao Reino de Sião para a conclusão do tratado de Amizade, Navegação e Comércio entre Portugal e o Sião. O diário náutico está dividido, de um ponto ao outro, em dias e horas de navegação, contendo todos os elementos que interessam ao estudo da navegação praticada pelos portugueses em pleno século dezanove: o rumo, o vento, a latitude e a longitude, a variação de agulha, a velocidade por hora e outras observações curiosas de serem lidas se nos imaginarmos a caminho de Sião e a bordo do Mondego em 1854. Quando o brigue Mondego largava para servir na Estação Naval de Macau ou partia em cruzeiro para a costa norte da China, era investido de missões patrióticas superiores a quaisquer directivas ministeriais. Semanas após semanas, tanto era incumbido de serviços rotineiros, tais como levar o Governador de Macau a Hong Kong, ou outros mais gloriosos como combater os piratas chineses que se apoderavam, uma vez por outra, das lanchas portuguesas. Nesta viagem, no dia 8 de Janeiro de 1859, às 10 horas da manhã o Mondego é mandado partir para Sião. O seu comandante, o Primeiro Tenente da Armada Severo Tavares, é incumbido de cumprir uma missão que se sobrepunha a todas as outras que até então tinha desempenhado. Para além de transportar a Carta Régia escrita pelo punho de Dom Pedro V, tinha também que acompanhar são e salvo, até ao primeiro Rei de Sião, o representante do Rei de Portugal, o Governador de Macau Isidoro Francisco Guimarães. O próprio Governador já tinha também assumido, em 1848, o comando do Mondego numa missão temível: a destruição dos armazéns negreiros na feitoria de Ambriz, em Benguela e Luanda. Não deixa de ser curioso ter sido Isidoro Guimarães quem tornou conhecida a viagem a Sião através de um relatório final que publicou em primeira mão no jornal de Macau, o «Echo do Povo», e que até hoje é a mais conhecida narrativa sobre a ?Missão Especial ao Reino do Sião? Descrita com o rigor das técnicas de navegação, é a mesma viagem que está registada no diário de bordo do Segundo Tenente da Armada Lúcio Albino Crespo, e trás novos dados à narrativa histórica. O Mondego era um brigue de 20 peças construído em 1844 no Arsenal da Marinha pelo construtor Joaquim Jesuíno da Costa. Tinha sido custeado em 38.895.856 reis, e como brigue de tombadilho media 98 pés de comprimento sobre 28 pés de boca.

        Our Nig; or, Sketches from the Life of a Free Black, in a Two-Story White House, North. Showing that Slavery's Shadows Fall even There. By "Our Nig."

      Boston: Printed by Geo. C. Rand & Avery, 1859. 1st Edition. Hardcover. Good. [4], 1, [6]-140p. Original brown cloth. 19cm. Neatly recased, with original endpapers preserved. Ends of backstrip strengthened. Gilt title and printer's device faint but still visible on backstrip. Dime-sized area of discoloration on back cover. Former owner's name in pencil on endpaper. Title-leaf and a few succeeding leaves have been invisibly re-attached along inner margin. Good-sized but not terribly dark triangular waterstain on lower portion of inner half of contents. A few other smaller stains, and moderate foxing and browning on text pages. Now protected in a modern leather-backed clamshell box. Our Nig is a rare book in commerce although copies are held by several American institutions. Copies appear to have been published in cloth and in wrappers. The fictionalized tale based on her life that Wilson tells is sad and compelling, reflecting the realities of life for African American women even when living in the North (Massachusetts and New Hampshire in her case). Research by Professor Henry Louis Gates and others in the 1980s led to this book being regarded as the first novel by an African American woman. While no author's name appears on the title-page, Harriet E. Wilson is listed as the copyright holder. Gates established that the book, including the three testimonials at the end, is full of events paralleling events in the life of a real-life African American woman named Harriet E. Wilson whom he identified through census and other records. There is no record of her ever having written any other published work.
