        Die Funde von Olympia. Ausgabe in einem Bande. Hrsg. von dem Direktorium der Ausgrabungen zu Olympia. 40 Tafeln.

      Berlin, Wasmuth, 1882 - Groß-Folio (54 x 39 cm). Textheft: 38 Seiten. Dazu 40 Tafeln, meist in photographischem Verfahren (Lichtdruck in Gelatinetechnik), 7 in Lithographie. *Basierend auf dem großen Werk "Ausgrabungen in Olympia" (1877-81 in fünf Bänden), erschien in dem vorliegenden Werk 1882 nach Abschluß der Grabungen eine neue Zusammenstellung der wichtigsten Tafeln in einem Band. 29 Tafeln sind aus dem genannten Werk, weitere 11 Tafeln kamen neu hinzu. Besonders eindrucksvoll sind die Tafeln I-III, welche zusammengesetzt das photographische Panorama von Olympia nach Abschluß der Ausgrabungen im März 1881 bilden und damit das erste photographisch reproduzierte Bild der fertigen Grabungsstätte als Panorama von 3 Platten in Großformat darstellen (Format: 20,5 x 97 cm, Blattgröße 37,5 x 132,5 cm). Die meisten der 40 Tafeln sind in echtem Lichtdruck im Gelatineverfahren ausgeführt. - Dieses Lichtdruckverfahren wurde von den Pionieren der Fotografie bereits Mitte des 19. Jahrh. entdeckt und in der zweiten Hälfte des 19. J. vor allem durch den Münchener Fotografen Joseph Albert zur Reife gebracht. Durch Belichtung von einem Fotonegativ auf ein gelatinebeschichtetes Papier wurde ein fotografisches Positiv hergestellt. Diese Lichtdrucke waren bereits damals drucktechnisch von einer bis heute mit keinem anderen Verfahren erreichten Qualität und sind mit ihrer Glanzschicht kaum von einem originalen Fotoabzug zu unterscheiden. - Sehr seltenes Werk, im Handel kaum zu finden. Die Deckel angestaubt und etwas berieben, die Tafeln tadellos erhalten. Sprache: Deutsch Gewicht in Gramm: 5000 Orig.-Halbleinenmappe mit Deckeltitel (Rückenbezug und Innenflügel der Mappe erneuert).

        YOUNG AMERICANS IN JAPAN OR THE ADVENTURES OF THE JEWETT FAMILY AND THEIR FRIEND OTO NAMBO

      Boston & New York: Lee and Shepard / Charles T. Dillingham, 1882. Large, thick octavo. Half gilt calf and marbled boards, pictorial panels of original binding bound in. Frontis and illustrations. Closed tear in lower margin of one leaf, otherwise a very good copy. First edition. A superb association copy, inscribed prior to publication by the author to American Orientalist and modernist literary influence, Ernest Fenollosa, utilizing Fenollosa's Japanese honorific: "To Mast. Kano E Fenollosa Our young American in Japan with the author's affectionate regard. Manchester by Sea Mass Oct. 10. 1881." After serving with the British military during the Second Opium War, Greey (1835-1888) traveled to Japan in the diplomatic service and immersed himself in the country's language, culture and art. In 1868, he settled in New York, opening a shop specializing in Japanese art and antiquities, and subsidizing that income as a writer. In addition to formal works such as the present, which afford a valuable insight into aspects of Japanese history and culture from a Westerner's point of view, Greey was a prolific contributor to the pulp press and boy's papers, often under pseudonyms. He took his own life in 1888 under mysterious circumstances. As a somewhat older contemporary of Fenollosa, he would no doubt have ample reason and opportunity to make his acquaintance, either in the U.S. or during travels back to Japan on business. Beyond his considerable importance as one of the preeminent Orientalists of the last quarter of the 19th century, Fenollosa left an indelible influence on Ezra Pound and W.B. Yeats, who worked mightily to edit his unpublished manuscripts and notes and disseminate his ideas.

It has tape to the spine. It is in Very Good Condition for the year. The tape is neatly done and holds the book together well, the covers have some marks and age toning , mainly to the bottom of the rear cover. Internally it is very nice and clean and hasn't been opened for a while. No restoration other than the tape applied many years ago. A hard year to find.

Double Oban color prints, 48.5 x 36 cm.,. very good, a few old worm holes now memded, else color and. registry very good, a few Washi mends on verso, all in all. very good, minor edge rubbing, center folded. OBSCURE WORK. AN UNUSUAL AND GRAPHIC LOOK AT THE TEN MONTHS OF PREGNANCY An unusual look at the ten months of pregnancy, the development of the fetus. The work is creatively drawn to show four female bodies drawn co-joined with three heads, times two. The first on the right shows the months 2-6 of pregnancy and the progressive development in the womb. The second shows another three heads and four bodies from months 7-10. The last month shows the baby in full development. Two unusual views in the last months show twins and triplets. Twins were and are still very rare in Asia, triplets are exceptionally rare ! * There is a large red banner or flag being held by two ladies that has copious text on the subject of pregnancy. The women are nearly nude, except for a "Haramaki" [stomach cloth] in red tie-dyed silk. Their buttocks and body is bare. Each of the bodies shows fetal growth. * This print was illustrated in [GRMEK, M.D. ] et al. as his color plate II. He wrongly attributes it to Yamamura Kiyosuke, but did get the date correct. * The subject is very scarce in Japanese gynecology. It is likely this print was used by midwives to show the mother-to-be just how the baby develops within her body.

        Views Of The Marble CaÃ±on Platform From The Eastern Brink Of The Kaibab [Grand CaÃ±on District Atlas Sheet XIX]

      [New York]: Julius Bien & Co, 1882. Tinted lithograph by Julius Bien & Co. (Small tears to original fold and a repaired tear in the left margin). A fine image from "one of the grandest publications of the scientific explorations in the American West", by arguably one of the greatest American topographical artists who recorded this important era of westward expansion This magnificent image is from the atlas volume of the official government report of the first great geological survey of the Grand Canyon. The team assembled to carry out the survey included some outstanding talents: Clarence E.Dutton, the scientist; Jack Hilliers, the photographer, and William Henry Holmes and Thomas Moran as artist-topographers. Holmes had already taken part in the Hayden survey of 1872-1877, and after serving with the Geological survey from 1880-1884, he turned to Ethnology and Anthropology, becoming chief of the Bureau of American Ethnology in 1902. From 1930 to 1932 he was director of the National Gallery of Art. The intention of the survey of the Grand Canyon was strictly scientific, but as Dutton writes in his preface, "I have in many places departed from the severe ascetic style which has become conventional in scientific monographs." This is also true of Moran and Holmes: both were clearly inspired by their subjects. As Wallace Stegner wrote in his introduction to the 1977 reprint of the whole work "Later specialization has eliminated from scientific publications most of the elements that make The Tertiary History so charming. No report written as this one is written would now be published by any government bureau. No illustrators like Moran and Holmes would be permitted to illustrate it... A great book... The Tertiary History has kept its value precisely because it does not specialize". Cf. Francis P.Farquhar. The Books of the Colorado River & the Grand Canyon (Los Angeles: 1953) 73; cf. W.B.Reese & G.A.Miles Depicting America (New Haven: 1992) 40.

        Tertiary History [with: Atlas to accompany the monograph on the tertiary history] of the Grand CaÃ±on district

      Washington: [text:] Government Printing Office, [atlas: Julius Bien & Co. of New York (for the Government Printing Office)], 1882. 2 volumes, quarto (11 Â½ x 9 inches) and folio (19 7/8 x 17 Â½ inches). Text: 'Department of the Interiorâ€¦ Geological survey' title. 42 plates, plans and maps, (including 2 chromolithographed views by Sinclair after Holmes, 17 wood-engraved views [8 after Thomas Moran, 9 after Holmes], 4 'Heliotype' plates), 10 double-page. Atlas: Mounted on guards throughout. 1p. letterpress text, otherwise lithographed throughout. Title, 12 double-page map-sheets after Dutton (11 printed in colors), 10 double-page sheets of views after Holmes (9) and Moran (1) (5 chromolithographed and 5 printed in tints), all printed by Julius Bien & Co. Expertly bound to style in deep burgundy-red half morocco over contemporary marbled paper-covered boards, spine in six compartments with raised bands, the bands flanked above and below by gilt rules, lettered in the second compartment A fine set of "one of the grandest publications of the scientific expeditions in the American Westâ€¦ [depicting] the Grand Canyon in a series of magnificent panoramas" (Reese & Miles. `Depicting America.' The work includes illustrations by arguably the two greatest American topographical artists to record this era of westward expansion: William Holmes and Thomas Moran. The atlas includes eight beautifully executed maps of the region on twelve sheets, as well as the ten sheets of views. The views include a number of images that are designed to form larger continuous panoramas. The greatest of these is Holmes view from Point Sublime in the Kaibab: the three chromolithographed sheets (numbered XVI-XVII), if joined, would form a single panoramic view with an image area measuring approximately 17 x 90 inches. It is interesting to note that the first of these sheets includes what may be a self-portrait and portrait respectively of Holmes and Dutton: two figures are visible at the edge of the canyon, one is seated and clearly sketching (Holmes) whilst the second figure bends down to examine his companion's work (Dutton). W.H. Holmes, whom William Goetzmann calls "the greatest artist-topographer and man of many talents that the West ever produced...his artistic technique was like no other's. He could sketch panoramas of twisted mountain ranges, sloping monoclines, escarpments, plateaus, canyons, fault blocks, and grassy meadows that accurately depicted hundreds of miles of terrain. They were better than maps and better than photographs because he could get details of stratigraphy that light and shadow obscured from the camera...his illustrations for Dutton's Tertiary History of the Grand Canon District are masterpieces of realism and draftsmanship as well as feats of imaginative observation." The team assembled to carry out this geological survey of the Grand Canyon included some outstanding talents: C.E.Dutton, the scientist; Jack Hilliers, the photographer and of course Holmes and Moran as artist-topographers. The intention of the survey was strictly scientific, but as Dutton writes in his preface, "I have in many places departed from the severe ascetic style which has become conventional in scientific monographs." This is also true of Moran and Holmes: both were clearly inspired by their subjects. The overall result is of a quality that would not be possible today. As Wallace Stegner wrote in his introduction to the 1977 reprint "Later specialization has eliminated from scientific publications most of the elements that make The Tertiary History so charming. No report written as this one is written would now be published by any government bureau. No illustrators like Moran and Holmes would be permitted to illustrate it... A great book... The Tertiary History has kept its value precisely because it does not specialize." Francis P.Farquhar, The Books of the Colorado River & the Grand Canyon (Los Angeles: 1953) 73; Goetzmann Exploration and Empire pp. 512-513; W.B.Reese & G.A.Miles Creating America (New Haven: 1992) 40.

        A Monograph of the Bucerotidae, or Family of the Hornbills

      [New York]: printed by Taylor & Francis of London, published for the subscribers by the author, 1882. 1 volume bound from the ten original parts, folio. (14 3/4 x 11 1/8 inches). 60 lithographic plates printed by M. & N.Hanhart (comprising: 57 plates by and after John Gerrard Keulemans, all hand-coloured by Mr. Smith, 3 uncoloured plates by and after Joseph Smit), occasional uncoloured illustrations. Near-contemporary green half morocco, spine in six compartments with raised bands, lettered in gilt in the second and third, date in gilt at foot of spine, original brown paper wrappers to all ten parts bound at the back, top edge gilt A fine copy of the first edition of this "comprehensive treatment of the entire family of hornbills" (Zimmer) from one of the best known American ornithologists of the second half of the nineteenth century, with illustrations by Keulemans, the most popular ornithological artist of the period. This is the important first monograph on this widely scattered family of extraordinary birds. "The Bucerotidae are pretty equally divided at the present day between the Ethiopian and Oriental Regions, the first having twenty-seven and the latter twenty-nine species, while but a few... are scattered about the islands of the Malay archipelago" (introduction). Hornbills are extraordinary not only for their physical appearance but also for their behavior - the most noteworthy shared trait amongst the species is the male's habit of "enclosing the female in the hollow of some tree, firmly fastening her in by a wall of mud, and keeping her close prisoner until the eggs are hatched" (introduction). The male will feed the female through a slit in the wall whilst she incubates the eggs. She will only break through the wall of mud and leave the nest once the young have hatched, at which point the wall is rebuilt and remains in place until the young are ready to fly. The bizarre beauty of this species is here ably captured by Keulemans highly accurate and beautifully observed plates. Keulemans was born in Rotterdam, Holland, in 1842, but worked and lived chiefly in England, working on most of the important ornithological monographs and periodicals published between about 1870 and his death in London in 1912. He was "undoubtedly the most popular bird artist of his day as well as being the most prolific. He was gifted with a superb sense of draughtsmanship and revealed his considerable versatility in capturing the significant subtleties of color, form, and expression in the birds... represented in his various illustrations" ( Feathers to brush p. 47) BM(NH) I,p.522; Fine Bird Books (1990) p.95; T. Keulemans & J. Coldewey, Feathers to brush... John Gerrard Keulemans , 1982, p.61; Nissen IVB 297; Wood p.331; Zimmer p.207.

        Two manuscript and printed Chinese military albums, with integral notes, and translations of the text, and French titling: "Clef des Manoeuvres Anciennes des Chinois", and "Dessin des Manoeuvres a l'Europeenne", prepared by Frandon for the French MinistÃ¨re des Affaires EtrangÃ¨res

      [China, 1882. 2 volumes, tall thin folio. (22 1/2 x 9 3/4 inches). First volume: 18 double-page coloured images with woodcut, hand-coloured, colour-printed, letterpress and manuscript elements, depicting military battle formation plans (exercises 1-9 and 9 general formations), mounted to form a concertina fold-out, the mounts with blue/green silked edges; Second volume: double page manuscript introduction by Frandon bound in at the end, 24 double-page coloured images with woodcut, hand-coloured, colour-printed, letterpress and manuscript elements depicting military formation plans (exercises 1-24), mounted to form a concertina fold-out, the mounts with blue/green silked edges. Uniform binding of typical form: bevelled wooden boards, the upper cover of each work with the titles in Chinese characters cut out of black velvet mounted on gilt and red paper backing, with a manuscript title in French in black ink on red paper framed with card, each volume within a modern red cloth chemise, all contained within a single red morocco-backed cloth, spine gilt Provenance: Ernest Louis FranÃ§ois Paul Frandon (1842-1904, signatures, text, etc.) A unique pair of manuscript Chinese military albums: a relic of the Sino-French War of 1883-1885. Ernest Frandon enjoyed a long and distinguished diplomatic career most of which was spent in a part of the world of great interest to France. Frandon describes this career in some detail in the manuscript 'Etat de Services' which he submitted when he was being considered for a Legion d'Honneur award in 1891. After working briefly in Spain, Frandon moved to Yokohama in November 1880. In November 1882 he received his first posting to China. in Shanghai. His work on the present albums date to the period from April 1883 when he was appointed 'gerant' or manager at the French Vice Consulat at Foutcheou (Fuzhow) in Fujian province. From July 1884 until the beginning of March 1885 he served in Calcutta, before being appointed Vice Consul in Kobe, Japan. He remained there for less than a year before returning to Fuzhow as French Vice Consul at the end of June 1885 where he appears to have remained for the rest of his active career (he retired in 1900). The early period of Frandon's first tour in Fuzhow seems to have been particularly eventful: he was able to provide important information about the harbour at Fuzhow, the Chinese fleet and the new naval yard (built under the supervision of Frenchmen). This all proved to be very useful to Admiral Amedee Courbet during the battle of Fuzhow when the vessels of the French Far East Squadron virtually destroyed the Fujian Fleet, one of China's four regional fleets. Specifically, in his 'Etat de Services' he notes that he sent a report on the defences of Fuzhow and that he found for Courbet the pilots necessary for the fleet to gain entry to the harbour. It appears that the gathering of military and naval intelligence was a significant part of Frandon's duties, and the present albums fall squarely into that category. In fact, according to his 'Etat de Services', Frandon clearly made maximum use of his command of languages during his diplomatic career and submitted a great many well-received reports on numerous aspects of his host nations' life and character. These appear to have varied widely in form, from straight-forward written reports, to the present albums which appear to be specifically referred to by Frandon, as reports on "les excercises militaries Chinois" and "les Forces militaries du Celeste Empire et l'effectif Europeen necessaire pour les vaincre." Frandon is also responsible for specially-commissioned albums of photographs of Chinese manufactured goods (these were exhibited recently to wide acclaim), to actual samples of 'native' goods and manufactures, to 'native' plants, all of which he collected and sent them back to France. Taking a pair of traditional military text-books as his starting point, Frandon here explains (in red ink) and interprets (in black ink) the text and diagrams. As he states in his two-page manuscript introduction in the second of the albums, his intention was to point out traits and weaknesses which could prove useful if a 'European' (i.e. French) army were ever to face the soldiers of the 'Celeste Empire'. The first album offers a key to the so-called 'ancient maneuvers', while the second concentrates on 'European maneuvers' introduced once the Chinese army was armed with European rifles. Each double page plate seems to have been carefully composed using a selection of smaller woodblocks (of individual figures, of small groups of figures, flags, small sections of buildings, tents, etc) which are combined in a way that illustrates each maneuver. Each of the plates in the first album includes extensive explanatory text printed in Chinese characters to one side (which is translated into French in Frandon's neat and legible hand), whilst the plates in the second album are identified only by titles. The use of these small individual woodblocks or stamps to form the plates would have given great freedom to whomever composed each plate, whilst also allowing for the outline of each plate to be completed relatively quickly. Colour was then added using a stencil process and the whole then finished off by hand: adding occasional details, or touches of additional colour. Intriguingly, the entry for Frandon in Figures Contemporaines tirÃ©es de L'Album Mariani (Paris: 1901, vol.VI pp.155-156) includes a foot note on page 156 which mentions that Frandon authored a two-volume work in 1883 titled Les Excercises militaries des Chinois , but we have not been able to find any other record of this ever having been published, and it may be that this refers to the present albums and Frandon's (unpublished) notes that they contain.

        ORIGINAL PHOTOGRAPH OF CHIEF GALL, A HUNKPAPA DAKOTA INDIAN

      William R. Cross, Photographer, n.d. (circa 1882-1887)., n.d. (circa 1882-1887). 6.5" x 4.5" cabinet card image of "Gall, Leader at the Custer Massacre. The Great Orator of the Sioux Nation." A rare image of this important Dakota warrior, leader, and chief. Along with Sitting Bull and Crazy Horse, Gall resisted efforts by the U.S. Government to annex the Black Hills. Gall, enraged by the slaughter of his family, led the charge across Medicine Tail Ford to attack Custer's main forces on the other side of the Little Bighorn River. Afterwards Gall accompanied Sitting Bull, escaping to Canada where Gall remained until November, 1880. Gall was first photographed by D.F. Barry at Ft. Buford in northwestern Dakota Territory in 1881. Later known images by D.F. Barry and others date to 1888 and 1894. These later images show a somewhat heavier Gall with a distinctive scar appearing on his chin. The photograph offered here is clean and clear and the scar on his chin appears to be fresh and unhealed, unlike the published later images. The photographer, William R. Cross had a studio in Hot Springs, S.D. and Niobrara, Nebraska, and is known to have done "field-work at the Dakota Reserves." Gall lived on the Standing Rock Reservation from 1881 until his death in December, 1894. The back of this cabinet card is printed: "Photographic Artist. Cross. South of Post-Office, Hot Springs, S.D. Views and Portraits." A fine, exceptional, and rare image of this important Hunkpapa Dakota warrior and chief.

        COLTON'S NEW MAP OF LONG ISLAND

      New York, 1882. Bound into original tall brown cloth boards, stamped in blind and gilt, rebacked by white paper. Splits on folds neatly repaired. Very good. With a large inset of "Brooklyn, New York, Jersey City, Hoboken, etc." This is probably the largest commercially published map of Long Island to date, which indicates the increasing population and importance of Long Island. Development in the eighteen years since the publication of the 1865 map has been dramatic. Explosive growth can be seen throughout Queens, especially in Jamaica and Garden City. Railroads now crisscross the island, with the Brooklyn & Montauk Railroad extending along its southern coast as far as Sag Harbor. The map was evidently first introduced in 1873. Rumsey (167) lists a 1888 edition. Not in Phillips.

        Manuscript - Unpublished Lecture Notes on "Ancient Modes of Travelling"

      England, 1882. The writer presents himself as a namesake of John Taylor (1578-1653), known famously as the Water Poet, and is therefore presumably a descendant. He may possibly be John Taylor of Plymouth, horse currier [a person who curries horses - to curry-comb and prepare a horse]. The National Archives, Plymouth and West Devon Record Office, holds a mortgage (1867) and assignment papers (1870-1887) relating to this John Taylor, currier. An accompanying photographic postcard names a Mr. Sydney Taylor who was evidently affiliated the Plymouth Photographic Society and whom is most likely a relation, which may also lead to details about the author's lineage. Excerpts from the manuscript: "My object is to trace the progress of locomotion, to contrast the old times with the present, to mark the marvellous changes that have taken place, to note the conquests over difficulties..." "...man is also induced with strong feelings of curiosity, and desires for investigation, and to this there seems to be no limit - he will pry into every corner of the world - he climbs the mountains and peeps into the mouths of the volcanoes - he burrows into the earth and searches for treasure there - he traverses the surface, across its oceans, or dives into the deep - no place seems too remote for his perseverance over the material - of mind over matter. " "To assist him in his travels many of the animals have been utilized - the ass, the horse, and the camel were in very early days... representations on the Egyptian and Assyrian monuments... Sledges were used for transporting the dead..." "... When the horse was first reduced to submission and servitude we cannot tell... but it is believed that horses were first used to draw the luxurious or triumphal chariot or war-car... " "...Yoked in couples to the war-chariots, they formed the strength of the Egyptian Army... Egypt possessed a very valuable race of horses - specimens of which still linger in the Valley of the Upper Nile." "... It is worthy to notice that the Jews were forbidden to raise large companies of Horse like other nations, or to go down to Egypt to purchase them, less they should make improper treaties with the heathen, and put their trust in their horses & chariots rather than trusting in Jehovah." "... as a beast of burden the camel is most remarkable and the wisdom of the creator is most strikingly displayed in its adaptation to the Eastern World... his legs & thighs are stripped of every muscle, not essential to their movement... his foot is cushioned with a spongy pad, specially suited to a dry sandy surface... stomach is provided with water-cells... the hunch upon his back is really a storehouse from which the body is nourished when food is otherwise not obtainable..." "... When Jacob fled across the Wilds of Mesopotamia we read, 'He rose up, and set his sons and wives upon camels', in like manner do the Arab migrate in the present day. There is one species of the camel, called Dromedary, which is distinguished for its fleetness and which is generally used for conveying intelligence... said to travel up to 100 miles in 24 hours... When your 'ship of the desert' has been called he begins to move, he carries the two legs on either side alternately... a continuous succession of jerks... a sensation akin to sea sickness..." "... a description of Eastern modes of travelling holds good for ancient or modern times... travel in the morning and evening, and rest in the heat of the day... There are no inns or hotels... Caravanserai - these are generally walled enclosures, with a well in the centre, a large hall in the middles of each side... with sleeping accommodation right & left. Each traveller carrying his own necessaries, a carpet or mattress... coffee pot..." "... The Southern tribes of the Ancient Britons, had at the time of the invasion, made some advances in artificial locomotion, for they fought on horseback, and in chariots or carts...manages with much skill. " "In 1285 during the reign of Edward 1st an Act was passed 'to clear the ground on the sides of all main roads for the width of 400 feet' that travellers may not be surprised by robbers, who concealed themselves in the tangled woods..." "During the reign of Mary & Elizabeth however no less than 25 Acts were passed... described places such as the Strand & Charing Cross in London, as being full of sloughs and encumbrances, very jeopardous to travellers, on horse back or on foot, in winter & summer, night or day." "In 1703 Charles 3rd, King of Spain... on his way from Portsmouth... to Windsor... Prince George the husband of Queen Anne went there to meet him... one of the attendants writing an account of the journey... the Prince knocked about for 14 hours... his highness's body-coach would have suffered damage if the nimble country people had not frequently supported it with their shoulders..." "... routes near London were haunted by mounted desperados, the thick forests were places of refuge for fellows more lawless and wicked than the Bedouin Arabs of the desert..." "The earliest drawings we possess of any vehicles used in Britain are those of the Saxon times... carriages called wheel-beds... they very much resemble a sailor's hammock hung by 2 hooks... an ingenious contrivance in those days before springs were invented..." "During the middle ages almost all riding and travelling was on horseback... the feats of horsemanship were remarkable for their dexterity..." "... The records of these times [14th Century] are rich in the description of the magnificence of the horsemen, on all state occasions... When Henry 4th was crowned he made a triumphant entry into the city of London with 6 thousand Horse..." "Travelling waggons were introduced in the 14th Century and were used by persons of high rank... The public carriers however who conveyed goods from town to town usually did their work by means of pack horses... the sign of the Pack Horse Inn still remains in many places as a reminiscence of the past..." "The introduction of Coaches took place about 300 years ago, the first we know of was introduced by a Dutchman, William Boomen who became coachman to Queen Elizabeth... The first coach ever seen in Plymouth was landed by a nobleman in 1669: he proceeded to London and the journey occupied 12 days." "... when their use became more general [use of coaches] they were denounced and ridiculed... The Thames Watermen were the biggest foes, and no wonder for the River Thames had been the great highway of the Metropolis..." "One of the most notable of the Thames Waterman was a namesake John Taylor, known as the Water Poet... a genius... One of his tracts was entitled 'The World Runs on Wheels, or odds between Carts and Coaches' - dedicated to the Sacred Society of Hackney Men... After resting a little while my poetical namesake returns to the attack, he seemed to have had some respect for the old fashioned 2 wheeled cart, but the 4 wheeled coach was an abomination... he argued..." [John Taylor (1578-1653), known as "The Water Poet," was an English poet, and the first poet to mention the deaths of William Shakespeare and Francis Beaumont in print. He spent much of his life as a Thames waterman, and was a member of the ruling oligarchy of the guild of boatmen that ferried passengers across the River Thames in London in the days when the London Bridge was the only passage between the banks. He addressed, rather confronted, the coachmen, in his tracts 'An Errant Thief' (1622) and 'The World Runnes on Wheeles' (1623). The latter was addressed "To the noble Company of Cordwainers, the worshipfull Company of Sadlers & Woodmongers; To the worthy, honest and lawdable Company of Water-men, And to the Sacred Society of Hackney-men, And finally, to as many as are grieved, and unjustly impoverished, and molested, with The Worlds Running on Wheeles."] "... one Saunders Duncombe petitioned King Charles 1st for a patent for sedan chairs which he had seen in other countries... the first sedans were borne on men's shoulders... it was thought to be degrading men to the condition of horses, yet for more than 150 years they were continued in use..." [In 1634, Sir Saunders Duncombe patented his own version of the sedan chair and obtained a monopoly on the rental of "hackney chairs" for fourteen years.] "After the Great Fire of London the streets were considerably widened, the coaches too were improved, and the driver got a seat on the Box..." "In 1669 a new vehicle was announced to run from London to Oxford, called the "Flying Coach"... Now there are several trains daily doing the journey in about 2 hours." "mail coaches... first started 1784, Mr. Palmer has the credit of originating the system... that letters should be carried by coaches, and as robberies were so frequent, armed men should accompany them... Mr. Palmer was denounced as a visionary... the mail coach period was but a brief one... gave way to the railways..." "For many years one of these fine old coaches called the 'Quicksilver Mail' used to create a sensation through Plymouth, a noted old celebrity Rich Blight was the driver..." "Before referring to the mighty revolution... the steam power... iron rail... let us notice the cabs and omnibuses... the system of canals, or artificial rivers..." "The word Foreigner is fast disappearing from the world's vocabulary, time is coming when it will be obsolete, the progress of locomotion is playing an important part in hastening the recognition of the oneness of the human race, the universal brotherhood of man... peace shall prevail, and truth be triumphant." End excerpts. . Very Good.
