        Signed Autograph Manuscript. An extract from Paul the Pope and Paul the Friar , Adolphus Trollope&apos;s historical novel first published in 1860. Signed &apos;T. Adolphus Trollope&apos; and dated May 6th, 1861.

      1861 24 lines written in black ink on 1 side of a single 4to leaf.Thomas Adolphus Trollope, 1810-1892, Anthony&apos;s eldest brother, was a novelist, journalist, editor, and committed Italophile. Resident in Florence from the early 1840s, he produced several well-received novels based on life in that country, often returning to the deep well of Papal intrigue for his stories. Paul the Pope and Paul the Friar was typical of his oeuvre, being a novel about political and religious scheming in Rome and Venice at the end of the sixteenth century. The extract is taken from the 4th chapter of the published novel, and begins &apos;Those were the days, though they were the last of them ...&apos;. It closes with the lines &apos;... the life labour of high intellects had to narrow its ambition from the complete mastery of the omne scibile to the still avowedly incomplete knowledge of the Coleoptera or the Chinese Grammar&apos;. It is not clear for whom this extract was written; it may have served as a souvenir for one of Trollope&apos;s devotees, or written to be auctioned or sold for some charitable purpose.

        The Burke and Wills Exploring Expedition: an account of the crossing the continent of Australia, from Cooper's Creek to Carpentaria. Reprinted from "The Argus".

      Melbourne: Wilson and Mackinnon, 1861. Octavo, pp. iv, 32 (double column); bound without wrappers in modern morocco gilt. Very scarce: one of the early impressions of this important pamphlet account of the expedition drawn from the original Melbourne Argus reports. It was reprinted many times between November 1861 and January 1862.This is identified as an early issue, and probably the first, by the two misprints in the second column on page 25: "Fred. Mueller" for "Ferd."; "explanaions" for "explanations".'The largest, the most expensive and the worst-led expedition yet seen in Australia, the Victorian Exploring Expedition became a symbol of inter-colonial rivalry. There can be little doubt that the prime objective of the expedition when it set out in August 1860 was to beat Stuart's South Australian expedition to the north coast at any cost. And a high cost it was... ' (Wantrup). In good condition.

        Notes on the Management of Chronometers and the Measurement of Meridian Distances.

      London: J.D. Potter, 1861. Octavo, xvi, 228 pp., including appendices and tables. New edition, revised and considerably expanded. The work includes important statistical tables from the north Australian survey conducted by HMS Fly under the command of Francis Blackwood between 1842-1846: the author, Shadwell, served on the Australian Station on Fly, which is why many of the concrete examples he uses here derive from that voyage, but he also consulted all manner of other sources, among which the appendix to the Beagle voyage was clearly uppermost.The accuracy of the bearings obtained during the Fly survey were clearly considered first rate for inclusion in this book. Indeed, modern charts of the Barrier Reef and Coral Sea still bear some of Blackwood's sailing directions. The voyage of the Fly heralded a new era of exactitude for the publication of Admiralty charts, and Ingleton comments that 'the expedition was noteworthy for being the first to be despatched to Australia on a purely surveying mission'. Furthermore, scientific information gleaned during the voyage was most informative in an era when the formation of coral reefs attracted the curiosity of brilliant naturalists such as Charles Darwin and Alfred Wallace.The preface states this edition has been expanded by some 70 pages, and includes vital information derived from the Recherches Chronométriques published by the Ministry of the Marine in Paris. Joints and extremities a bit rubbed, otherwise fine.

        Potsdam Sanssouci - Belvedere auf dem Pfingsberg, 1856. Original-Photographie. Vintage. Salzpapier-Abzug. Verlagsseitig montiert. Köln, verlegt durch F.C. Eisen, 1856. Bildgröße 24 x 40 cm. Blattgröße 44,5 x 63 cm.

      - Auf dem Träger Blindstempel des Verlegers (Träger etwas gebräunt und angestaubt, mit kleinen Randläsuren, der Abzug am rechten Rand etwas blass [die Abbildung täuscht, übertreibt hier etwas], sonst sehr gut erhalten). Rarissimum der frühen Potsdam-Photographie und wohl erstes Foto des erst 1861 fertiggestellten Belvederes überhaupt. Die frühesten überlieferten Potsdam-Fotos stammen von sog. 'Reisephotographen', also solchen, die nicht ortsansässig waren. In Potsdam waren dies Michiels (1823-1887), der 1856 dort photographierte, und die Brüder Schneider, die erst 1859 Berlin und Potsdam bereisten. Michiels ist vor allem für seine Aufnahmen vom Kölner Dom bekannt, von seinen - hervorragenden - Potsdam-Photographien tauchten bisher nur ganz wenige auf. Vier Motive, darunter dieses, wurden 2006 im Rahmen der Ausstellung 'Auslöser Potsdam' gezeigt, weitere kennt man nur aus dem Inserat, das der Verleger Eisen 1858 in der Leipziger 'Illustrirten Zeitung' schaltete. Abgesehen von der Seltenheit ist das große Format und der ausgezeichnete Erhaltungszustand des hier angebotenen Abzugs bemerkenswert. Der seinerzeitige Preis betrug übrigens 2 Taler (Thaler) pro Blatt, das entspricht etwa dem Wochengehalt eines Webers um 1850 oder dem halben Monatslohn einer Stickerin oder Weißnäherin in Berlin. - Vgl. Auslöser Potsdam, 28ff - Heidtmann, Wie das Photo., S. 55. 2000 gr. [Attributes: First Edition]

        J.M. Stuart's Exploration, 1860 Ordered by the House of Assembly to be printed, 7th June, 1861. Diary of J.M. Stuart, Esq., of an Exploratory Trip towards the North-West Coast of Australia, during the period from 2nd March to 3rd September, 1860 [drop title].

      Adelaide: Ordered by the House of Assembly to be printed, 1861. Folio, printed on blue paper, 24 pp.; with a large two-sheet folding map; neatly bound in later cloth, a fine copy from the collection of Rodney Davidson, with his bookplate. Rare official printing of John Macdouall Stuart's journal of his fourth expedition through central Australia, noteworthy for the discovery of the Finke River, Macdonnell Ranges and the geographical centre of the Australian continent.The expedition followed the disbanding of Stuart's party, which had assembled for prospecting in the Davenport Range. After finding no gold the men rebelled and were paid of in Chambers Creek. Shortly afterwards, on 2 March 1860, Stuart set off into the vast wilderness with two companions, William Kekwick and Benjamin Head. The party lost important provisions to flooding and suffered terribly from scurvy and malnutrition; indeed Stuart lost the use of his right eye. They discovered the Finke River and Macdonnell Ranges before ascertaining the exact centre of the continent on 22 April 1860.Stuart writes 'To-day I find, from my observation of the sun... that I am now camped in the centre of Australia. About two and a half miles to the N.N.E. is a high mount. I wish it had been in the centre. I shall go to it to-morrow and build a cone of stones, plant the British flag, and name it Central Mount Stuart. We have been in search of permanent water all day, but cannot find any... '. For the following month they searched fruitlessly for water, frustrating plans for further travels to the north-west. Rains in May allowed a dash to Tennant's Creek and two months later the group, now emaciated with hunger and fatigue, returned to Chambers Creek. Stuart, Keckwick and Head received a heroes welcome in Adelaide, their discovery of the exact centre of Australia prompting the South Australia government of to fund Stuart's next expedition to cross the continent in direct competition with Burke and Wills.Published as House of Assembly paper 65 of 1861.

        Mandarin and Son.

      No date. (circa1861). Albumen studio portrait showing a Chinese man dressed as a mandarin, seated, with his son standing beside him in a casual pose. 27.5 x 20cm. Matted. Photograph a little creased in places with three repaired holes and a small closed tear. Miller's signature in the negative lower left corner, separate caption torn with a little loss. American photographer Milton Miller spent only a relatively short period of time in East Asia (1859 - 1863) but even so he established a name for his portraits of Chinese officials, businessmen and their families. His memorable images are important and Miller's place in the history of photography is recognised by Terry Bennett (History of Photography in China 1842-1860). "Milton Miller was arguably the best portrait photographer in nineteenth-century China. His subjects are never stilted and he tried to tease out the personality of each sitter - often succeeding with such intense immediacy that for a moment or two the intervening 150 years melt away, leaving us feeling wholly engaged, slightly unnerved." An accurate description one feels when viewing this photograph of a Mandarin and Son.However Wu Hung argues that Milton Miller's famous portraits were not all they seemed. On investigating Milton Miller's images carefully, Professor Wu has found that many of the sitters appear not only in a number of photographs but as members of different official ranks, something that would have been inconceivable in Qing China. Rather than being accurate portraits of the Chinese well-to-do of late Qing China as these photographs were believed to be, photographs such as this are examples of a new style of portraiture that is neither Chinese nor Western. Rather they are a fascinating mixture of "local visual norms, Western expectations, and the photographers personal ambitions in a hybrid form". A form of portraiture which has had a wide and long influence on perceptions of China in the West. (Inventing a "Chinese Portrait Style in Early Photography. The Case of Milton Miller" - Wu Hung published in "Brush & Shutter". Getty 2011.) (When referring to this item please quote stockid 155332).

It is named after John Henry Pepper who implemented a working version of the device in 1862. Dircks also investigated attempts at the invention of a perpetual motion device, writing that those who sought to create such a thing were "half-learned" or "totally ignorant". Dircks was born in Liverpool on 26 August 1806.nnHe was apprenticed to a mercantile firm and spent much of his free time studying practical mechanics, chemistry, and literature. Around the mid-1820s he began lecturing about chemistry and electricity while writing literary articles in the local press and scientific papers in the Mechanics' Magazine and other journals. In 1837 he became a life member of the British Association, and afterwards contributed papers to its proceedings. Two years later he wrote a pamphlet regarding a proposed union of mechanics' and literary institutions. He also wrote a short treatise entitled "Popular Education, a series of Papers on the Nature, Objects, and Advantages of Mechanics' Institutions", first printed in Liverpool in 1840.nnHe became a practical engineer, conducting railway, canal, and mining works, before progressing to the role of consulting engineer. He continued to investigate technologies and invent new devices, taking out several patents between 1840 and 1857. Dircks joined the Royal Society of Literature, the Royal Society of Edinburgh, and other scientific bodies. In 1867 he was elected a full Fellow of the Royal Society of Edinburgh, his proposer being William John McQuorn Rankine. In 1868 he was given an honorary degree (LL.D.) from Tusculum College in Tennessee. Dircks died in Brighton on 17 September 1873. (Wikipedia)n

        The Burke and Wills Exploring Expedition... with portraits and biographical sketches of Robert O'Hara Burke, and William John Wills.

      Melbourne: Wilson and Mackinnon, 1861. Octavo, iv, 36 pp. (last blank), with a striking lithographic portrait frontispiece of both explorers (later portrait of Wills pasted to rear of frontispiece), well preserved copy in original green titling wrappers housed in a navy quarter morocco bookform box. Scarce and desirable contemporary booklet reprinting vital accounts of the Burke and Wills tragedy, issued shortly after news of the calamity had reached Melbourne. Its anonymous editor states it was 'not put forth as a history of the Exploring Expedition. It is but the last sad chapter of a sad history... '. Overall this is a serious work, with a postscript lamenting that public hysteria surrounding recent events has diminished the dignity of the perished explorers: 'that for the moment the grandeur of the enterprise, the success of which has been so dearly purchased, is almost overborne by the mass of puerility and littleness to which the subject has given birth.'Although slim, the minute type of the booklet contains several important testimonies and manuscript entries; including a note sent by Alfred William Howitt from Portia Creek dated 10 October 1861, Burke's last despatch, the narrative of the sole surviving member of the expedition John King, lengthy extracts from the journals of Howitt and Wills and an assortment of notes from Burke scrawled in the desperate last weeks of his life.Wantrup notes a number of different Wilson & Mackinnon imprints of this title, testament to insatiable public curiosity surrounding the tragedy. All are based upon the "Argus" newspaper accounts; this particular edition is the first to feature the unusually sensitive and detailed frontispiece portrait. Slight foxing of the frontispiece and title-page.

        Report Upon the Colorado River of the West, Explored in 1857 and 1858 by Lieutenant Joseph C. Ives.

      Government Printing Office. Washington, D.C. 1861. - Cloth bound volume, 11.25 x 9 inches, in five parts: General Report (131 pp); Hydrographic Report (14 pp); Geological Report (154 pp.); Botany (30 pp); Zoology (6 pp); Appendices. Triangular water stain on plates running from the free edge to page bottom; 5.5 inches along the diagonal. Cover and first two dozen pages detached, as are the two maps and the plate entitled Profile of Route. Discoloration and tears to several of these pages; one very short tear to each map. Front cover and spine badly abraded. A pair of tinted geological maps called for not present in Part III. The damp stain to the plates is a conundrum, as the text pages adjacent appear virtually undamaged. It is almost as if the plates were damaged prior to binding--admittedly an unlikely scenario. Equally strange, the eight scenic panoramas and the frontispiece maps, the work of F. W. v. Egloffstein, are likewise undamaged. (Additional artwork by Heinrich Möllhausen.) There are seven color lithographic plates of indigenous Native Americans: the Cocopa, Yuma, Moqui, Navajo, etc. The volume is in poor condition, given the problems cited above. However, once past the first two dozen pages, the single remaining fault is the water stain that appears on plates throughout the volume. [Attributes: Hard Cover]

        Despite Treason Accusation, Lincoln Can&#146;t Fire a Lt. Col. Appointed by NY Governor

      Washington, D.C. 1861 - Autograph Letter Signed ("A. Lincoln"), December 28, 1861, Executive Mansion, Washington, D.C., to Henry Liebenau, Esq. 1 page, 5 x 8 in. "The appeal must be made, if at all, to the Governor." Complete Transcript Executive Mansion Washington, D.C. Dec. 28, 1861Henry Liebenau, Esq.My dear Sir: Your private letter in regard to Mr. "Burtnete" is received. I have no power to remove a Lieut Colonel appointed by the Governor of New-York. The appeal must be made, if at all, to the Governor. Yours &c, A. Lincoln.Historical BackgroundJohn W. Latson, a New York attorney, began raising a regiment in April 1861. In July, he received permission from the War Department to recruit a regiment of artillery, but his authority was revoked a month later and his recruits were consolidated with another regiment to form the 2d New York Heavy Artillery. Latson's troubles may have stemmed from his practice of securing uniforms for his men without paying a local merchant, claiming the authority of the federal government for doing so. The merchant reported Latson's actions to a justice, who had Latson arrested. He posted $500 in bail,[1] but was soon arrested again, charged with false imprisonment. After being in jail for a week, Latson made a motion to discharge the case because his accuser, Henry Farrington, was a recruit and subject to military discipline. The court granted the discharge and released Latson.[2]After his release, Latson learned that Daniel H. Burtnett, who claimed to be "Major Commanding the Coast Brigade at Fortress Monroe," had "ingratiated himself with the officers of Col. Latson's Staff, and stirred up the difficulties with a view of superseding Col. L. in command." Latson also learned that Burtnett had carried on a secret correspondence with P.G.T. Beauregard through the Confederate General's sister, who lived in New York, and had communicated with Confederates from Fortress Monroe by a "secret telegraphic wire" that he had helped to lay.[3]On September 6, 1861, Latson went to attorney William T. Birdsall's office to make out an affidavit charging Burtnett with treason. Burtnett and several other officers reportedly entered the office, confronted Latson with a loaded pistol to his head, and left with Latson's affidavit. After Latson and Birdsall reported the incident to a justice of the peace, Burtnett and the others were arrested, but the court discharged them on their promising to return for a hearing.[4]On November 2, their attorney denied the charges and filed a motion to discharge, claiming the application of an 1858 New York law that "no person belonging to the military forces shall be arrested on any civil process while going to, remaining at or returning from any place at which he may be required to attend, for the election of officers or other military duty." The Court held that the defendants were exempt and discharged them.[5]Liebenau's letter to Lincoln may have been an effort to have Burtnett discharged so he could not claim immunity based on military duty.Accompanied by Special Order No. 49 from the Headquarters of the Seventh Regiment, National Guard, detailing companies to attend the funeral of Thomas H. Higginbotham. Signed in print by Adjutant Joseph Henry Liebenau (1832-1878), Henry Liebenau's nephew and foster son.Henry Liebenau (1803-c1889). Born in New York, Liebenau was a portrait artist and inspector at the customs house in New York City. As early as 1847, he advertised to paint or embroider military flags and banners. In 1861, he helped Congressman Daniel E. Sickles raise a brigade. In August 1861, he applied to the Secretary of War for appointment as a paymaster in the army, and in October sought Lincoln's support for his application. In November 1861, he asked Lincoln to appoint him as collector at the port of Beaufort, South Carolina. After the war, Liebenau served as the corresponding secretary for the Constitutional Union Association, a conservative organization . (See website for full description)

        THE MACDERMOTS OF BALLYCLORAN

      Chapman & Hall 1861 - Trollope, Anthony. THE MACDERMOTS OF BALLYCLORAN. London: Chapman & Hall, 1861. Second Edition (First One-Volume Edition). A Very Good copy in original publisher's tan boards decorated in red and black. Cloth a little darkened and spotted, tiny bit of abrasion to front cover, a little foxing to the rear paste-down and to the publisher's 20pp catalogue found at rear (dated January, 1861). Inner hinges intact and tight, text block fine. The three-volume first edition of Trollope's first novel THE MACDERMOTS OF BALLYCLORAN (Newby, 1847) is one of the great rarities of Victorian Fiction, we've never seen a copy either in original cloth or rebound. This edition, although not so great a rarity, is in itself exceedingly scarce, especially in such appealing condition (given the fragile nature of the original publisher's boards).

ENVOI signé de l'auteur à Émile Combes (1835-1921), membre de l'Institut ; il entreprit des études de médecine à Paris et soutient une thèse sur les Considérations contre l'hérédité des maladies en 1868. Il s'illustra par la suite dans la carrière politique, sous les présidences de Loubet et de Poincaré. Rare édition originale de cet ouvrage très approfondi sur la vision binoculaire et les instruments d'optiques ; l'ophtalmoscope binoculaire, invention de l'auteur (p. 674 et suiv.), Marc-Antoine "Félix" Giraud-Teulon (1816-1887), y est décrit pour la première fois. L'ophtalmoscope de Giraud-Teulon, consistait en un un miroir concave de 45mm de diamètre, avec deux prismes à l'arrière se rencontrant sur leurs angles aigus et deux prismes variables fixés du côte de l'observateur, l'un ayant une surface plane, l'autre convexe. Nachet emprunta son principe pour la fabrication son propre ophtalmoscope binoculaire. De par son utilisation peu commode, l'objet rencontra peu de succès : il sera de nouveau envisagé plusieurs années après, par Charles Schepens ("Un nouvel ophtalmoscope binoculaire pour l'examen du décollement de la rétine", Bulletin de la Société belge d'ophtalmologie, 1945).

Édition originale, sous-titre de relais à la date de 1861. Le poète avait participé, très jeune, au "club des haschischins" qui se réunissait à l'Hôtel de Pimodan. Ses souvenirs occupent la première partie du livre. La seconde contient la recomposition libre et le commentaire des &#145;Confessions d'un mangeur d'opium anglais&#146; de Thomas De Quincey. Si le hachisch fut pour Baudelaire une curiosité exotique, l&#146;opium accompagna, au contraire, le traitement de ses souffrances. "Art poétique dissimulé, traité moral marqué d&#146;anecdotes, ils sont la clef d&#146;un monde où la volonté et la volupté entrent en concurrence pour que finalement triomphe une lumière supérieure qui refuse l&#146;abandon trop facile à de fantasmagoriques jouissances.
