        Sketches of Ancient History of the Six Nations

      Lockport: Turner & McCollum. 1848. Third edition of this collection of tribal history and myth by a Tuscarora writer, one of the first to record tribal tales in the written language of the Western civilization. The full title of this short pamphlet is "David Cusick's Sketches of the Ancient History of the Six Nations - Comprising - First -- A Tale of the Foundation of the Great Island (Now North America), The Two Infants Born, and the Creation of the Universe. Second -- A Real Account of the Early Settlers of North America and Their Dissensions. Third -- Origin of the Kingdom of the Five Nations, Which Was Called A Long House: The Wars, Fierce Animals, &c." The first edition was published in 1827 and is exceedingly rare. The second edition was the first to have illustrations, four plates depicting events in tribal history or legend, which are included in this edition as well. Front cover chipped and detached (but present); rear cover tenuous, internal contents very good. An extremely scarce and important early tribal history by a Native American, and truly rare in the original wrappers. Softcover.

An den Musikverleger Friedrich Hofmeister (1782-1864) in Leipzig, den er bittet, für die Uraufführung seiner Symphonie bei den Leipziger Gewandhauskonzerten einen Termin zu bestimmen: "[ ] Ich beabsichtige in diesen Tagen eine Reise in die Umgegend u. zu meinen Verwandten in Ostpreußen zu machen, da ich von jetzt ab bis zum 1.

        TO THE PEOPLE OF THE UNITED STATES [caption title].

      Washington: C.W. Fenton, [ca. 1848]. - Broadside, 19 x 12 inches. Printed in three columns of dense text. Light foxing, primarily to top edge. Very good. Description of the design of the Washington National Monument, with an announcement from the Washington National Monument Society that construction has commenced with the laying of the cornerstone on July 4, 1848. Though the importance of memorializing George Washington had been recognized shortly after his death - Samuel Blodgett's broadside of 1801 aimed to accomplish the very same - it was during the 100th-year anniversary of his birth that gave renewed impetus to the attempts of the American people to celebrate his life and accomplishments. Inspired by his loyalty, patriotism, and selfless leadership during and after the Revolutionary War, concerned citizens gathered in 1833 and formed the Washington National Monument Society, the sole purpose of which was to erect a fitting monument Washington's name. By 1836, Richard Mills had been chosen as the architect; but under heavy criticism of the design as well as the estimated cost, the project halted until 1848, when President Zachary Taylor laid the first cornerstone and construction finally began. By 1854 donations ceased, and the project was once again stalled and it was not until 1884 that Washington saw its monument complete. The present broadside describes the proposed monument in great detail, giving exact specifications for all its measurements and edifices. "This Design embraces the idea of a grand circular colonnaded building 250 feet in diameter, and 100 feet high, from which springs an obelisk shaft 70 feet at the base and 500 feet high, making a total elevation of 600 feet. . In the centre of the Monument is placed the tomb of Washington, to receive his remains, should they be removed thither, the descent to which is by a broad flight of steps lighted by the same light which illumines his statue." Of course, Washington remained buried at Mt. Vernon even after the Monument was finished. A handsome document describing the grand memorial to our Founding Father.

        Beiträge zur praktischen Chirurgie. Nebst Bericht über die chirurgisch-augenärztliche Klinik der Königlichen Universität zu Halle für die Zeit von 1831-1847.

      - Berlin, Verlag A.Förstner, 1848, Gr.8°, XXXIX, (1), 314, (1), Holzschnitte und vier lith. Tafeln, im Halbleinenband der Zeit. Erste Ausgabe der 'Beiträge zur practischen Chirurgie'. Ernst Blasius beschäftigt sich in diesem seltenen und kostbaren Band vorwiegend mit Fragen der plastischen Chirurgie, insbesondere 'Bildung der Oberlippe', 'Operation der mit Wolfsrachen verbundener Hasenscharte (nebst Bemerkungen über diese Missbildung)' und 'Operatio colobomatis palpebrae'. - - Das Werk ist nicht nur dem 'Andenken Dieffenbachs" gewidmet sondern setzt sich insbesondere mit Dieffenbach auseinander, und so schreibt Blasius in seinem Vorwort folgende Bemerkung: "Ich habe dieses Buch dem Andenken Dieffenbachs gewidmet und wünsche damit nochmals meine hohe Achtung gegen den Mann auszudrücken, welcher mit seiner Genialität den Theil der Chirurgie ausgeübt und cultiviert hat, dessen theoretische und praktische Betreibung meine Thätigkeit zu allen Zeiten am lebhaftesten angeregt hat. Ein Abschnitt dieses Buch enthält eine entschiedene Opposition gegen Dieffenbach gerade in demjenigen Theile der operativen Praxis, in welchen derselbe am meisten geglänzt hat, in der chirurgischen Praxis; ich schrieb dies, als noch Niemand von Dieffenbachs Tode eine eine Ahnung haben konnte, ich schrieb die Opposition dem Lebenden gegenüber; über die Verfahrungsweisen eines Verstorbenen würde mein Urtheil zwar nicht anders ausgefallen, aber vielleicht hier und da anders ausgedrückt worden sein.". - First Edition. Blasius was one of the most active German practioners of plastic surgery in the 19th century, developing, and or improving operations for reconstructing the nose, ear, lip, cheek, mouth and eyelid, as well as methods for removing scars and repairing defects of the genitals. He recommended against using remnants of the old nose or the hairy scalp in rhinoplasty, and attempted to create mucous membrane linings for his new noses by transplanting pieces of the upper lip. Three of the four plates in his "Beiträge" illustrate plastic operations - rhinoplasty, cheiloplasty and the removal of contracted scar tissue from the neck. Scare - Zeis 484 (6 Einträge).

        Narrative of events in Borneo and Celebes, down to the Occupation of Labuan:

      London, John Murray,, 1848. From the Journals of James Brooke, Esq. Rajah of Sarawak, and Governor of Labuan. Together with a Narrative of the Operations of H.M.S. Iris. 2 volumes, octavo. Original red embossed cloth, title gilt to spines, gilt block of the seal of the Sultan of Borneo to lower boards, and of a pirate prahu, or proa, to the upper boards.

Armorial book plates of [Lt.-Col.] Sir Edward Baker Baker to the front pastedowns.

First edition of this key source for the biography of Sir James Brooke (1803&#150;1868), army officer and first raja of Sarawak, the epitome of the British romantic "orientalist" and one of the icons of early Victorian imperialism. Mundy accompanied Sir Thomas John Cochrane to Borneo in 1846, where, in co-operation with Brooke, he was engaged for the next six months in a brilliant series of operations against the Borneo pirate tribes described in detail here, punishing "the Brunei pirates by destroying their forts and other buildings" (ODNB). Mundy took formal possession of Labuan on 24 December 1846. The spirited illustrations, from Mundy&#39;s own drawings, include his visit to the Sultan of Brunei, the capture of Brunei, and other of the expedition&#39;s actions, together with the signing of the Treaty of the Cession of Labuan, the track charts include track charts of Brooke&#39;s yacht Royalist in the Gulf of Boni; and of HMS Iris off the coast of "Borneo Proper," including an inset of the capture of Brunei.

        Notes of a Military Reconnoissance, from Fort Leavenworth, in Missouri, to San Diego, in California, Including Part of the Arkansas, Del Norte, and Gila Rivers; AND, Report of Lieut. J. W. Abert; AND, Cook's March from Santa Fe; AND, Journal of Johnston

      Wendell and Van Benthuysen., Washington 1848 - FIRST EDITION. House of Representatives Edition which proceeds the Senate edition. Title page mistakenly lists Emory as "Lieut. Col.". Original dark brown cloth with paper label title "New Mexico, and California, by Emory, Abert, Cooke, and Johnston". Contains some scuffs and nicks. Right spine edge is loose. Pages are age-toned and stiff with a few foxed. Includes wonderful pen and ink drawings in fine condition. Two fold out maps and three maps of battles in California with the Mexicans. Large fold-out map with 5" tear from inner margin affecting the map, "The Territory of New Mexico, 1846-47"; 67 plates. Page 454 misprinted as 754. 614pp. Overall GOOD minus condition. Extreemely scarce first edition. Damp staining to bottom corner throughout. Previous owner's notes on first page from 1929. Includes the reports of J.W. Abert and Philip St. George Cooke. Together they summarize the activity of the U.S. Army to the west of Santa Fe after the capture of New Mexico by the Army of the West. The first folding map is Philip St. George Cooke's "Sketch of Part of the march & Wagon road of Lt. Colonel Cooke, from Santa Fe to the Pacific Ocean, 1846-7." This shows the route of the Mormon Battalion from Santa Fe to the Gila River. The other, "Map of the Territory of New Mexico," was compiled by Lieutenants Abert and Peck after the conquest of New Mexico. Both are important contributions to western cartography. Abert's report includes material on the Indians of New Mexico and their languages. The Abert report also includes all of his views of New Mexico, the best group of early New Mexico views published. Wagner-Camp is in error in its collation of this edition, mistakenly calling for only forty plates, plus those of the Abert report. William Hemsley Emory (September 7, 1811 -- December 1, 1887) was an United States Army officer and surveyor of Texas. Emory was born in Queen Anne's County, Maryland, on his family's "Poplar Grove" estate. He attended the United States Military Academy at West Point, New York, and graduated in 1831. Assigned as a second lieutenant, he served in the Corps of Engineers until he resigned from the service in 1836 to pursue civil engineering, but he returned to the service in 1838.During that same year, he married a great-grandaughter of Benjamin Franklin, Matilda Wilkins Bache of Philadelphia. The couple would have three children. During his second stint in the army, he was successively promoted from lieutenant to captain and finally to major. He specialized in mapping the United States border, including the Texas-Mexico border, the United States-Canadian border(1844&#150;1866) and the Gadsen Purchase (1854 -- 1857). In 1844, Emory served in an expedition that produced a new map of Texan claims westward to the Rio Grande River. He came to public attention as the author of the Notes of a Military Reconnaissance from Fort Leavenworth in Missouri to San Diego, California, published by the Thirtieth United States Congress in 1848. This report described terrain and rivers, cities and forts and made observations about Indians, Mexicans, primarily in New Mexico Territory, Arizona Territory and Southern California. It was and is considered one of the important chronicles and descriptions of the historic Southwest, particularly noted for its maps. Emory was a reliable and conscientous cartographer.

        Publisher&#39;s Prospectus

      1848. "Would it Not be Well for All of us to Become Lawyers, So That We May Come in for a Share of the Spoils?" [Legal Publishing]. Indiana Law Reporter. Richard Randall. [Publisher&#39;s Prospectus for the Constitution and Laws of Indiana and the Indiana Law Reporter]. Jeffersonville, IA, [1848]. 12-1/2" x 7-1/2" broadside. Light toning, faint horizontal fold lines, a copy of tiny spots, otherwise fine. * Issued to salesmen, this is a prospectus and subscription form for two titles published by Randall, the Constitution and Laws of Indiana, a handbook, and the Indiana Law Reporter, a monthly publication. Both titles are aimed at laymen. The prospectus displays an intense antipathy to lawyers and plays on the popular ideas of self-reliance, the shrewdness of the common man and upward mobility. The annotation for the Constitution and Laws states: "As the Lawyers seem to have all the honors and emoluments of office thrust upon them would it not be well for all of us to become Lawyers, so that we may come in for a share of the spoils?" "[F]or only 25 cents [this book] will give you enough law at least to teach you how to prevent the Lawyers from getting their fingers in your pocket. (...) EVERY MAN, who claims the title of FREEMAN, ought to understand the Constitution and Laws by which he is governed. (...) Many of our eminent Statesmen have risen from the humblest stations in life, to greatness and dignity. Most of them, in fact, were born in our Buckeye cabins, and were nurtured in the forests of nature." It also plays on the desire to save money. The description of the Indiana Law Reporter notes that "an acquaintance with the Law, and with the necessary forms of drawing up instruments of writing, may save you hundreds if not thousands of dollars." We found no information about Richard Randall or his books. It is quite possible that his venture failed. It is equally possible that he was a confidence man, a predecessor of the present-day internet scammer.
