      o. O., o. J. [Nach 1857, vor 1873]. Lose Blattsammlung in priv. Ledermappe.. Das Konvolut besteht aus 34 nummerierten topographischen und 14 Personenbildern (eines ist doppelt, deshalb eigtl. 13), diese sind teilweise von W. Johnson. Die Abzüge sind von bemerkswerter Tonalität, nur drei haben einen etwas ausgebleichten Himmel bzw. ist etwas vergilbt [Nr. 11]. Eine beiliegende Liste gibt die Titel in Englisch wieder, während der Text auf den topograph. Bildern deutsch ist. Die Personenbilder haben in Bleistift geschriebene englische Untertitel. Die Nummern bei den Bildern in der Beschreibung geben die Plattennummern wieder, die beigefügten Sternchen den handschriftlichen Vermerk "Bourne". - Karton ist teilweise leicht stockfleckig, nur eines stärker stockfleckig [Johnson e], ein Bild m. kl. Fleck, Nr. 24 mit hds. Beschreibung in den Marginalien, Mappe m. Gbrsp. - Die Datierung erfolgte aufgrund der historischen Ereignisse in Lucknow und den Kaiserbagh (gebaut 1848-50, demoliert nach 1857) sowie aufgrund einer hds. Datierung auf einem originalen Seidenhemdchen (1873) und der begleitenden Notiz eines beiliegendes Zettels. - Bourne (1834 - 1912), ging 1863 nach Indien, um in Simla der Sommeresidenz der engl. Kolonialregierung ein Fotoatelier zu gründen. Die auf vers. Reisen im Himalaya und Indien gemachten Fotografien von Land, Leuten, und Gebäuden sowie die Atelierarbeit (Porträts der besseren Gesellschaft sowie der Kolonialoffiziere) wurden von ihm und seinem Partner Charles Shepherd durch die hohe technische und künstlerische Qualität der Bilder in ein gewinnbringendes Unternehmen umgesetzt. Heute zählen seine Aufnahmen zu den Besten seines Genre: "... in Bournes Photographien [ist] ein dynamisches Spannungsverhältnis zwischen einfallsreichen Bildideen, den topographischen Gegebenheiten und dem Repräsentationsbedürfnis des British Empire manifestiert ... zeitgenössischen Glauben an die wirklichkeitsgetreue Wiedergabe von Natur und ökonomischen Notwendigkeit, die Kultur des Kolonialismus zu beglaubigen..." (Zitat aus Katalog "Sieben Jahre Indien" S.140).

      London, John Churchill, 1857.. First Edition. 8°. XV, 362 pages plus 32-page catalogue of advertising of publisher John Churchill in the rear.

Outer margins of titlepage a little frayed. Internally beautifully clean. No inscriptions or markings. Illustrations clear and clean. Extremely rare publication of irish surgeon Robert Adams.. Robert Adams (1791 - 13 January 1875) was an Irish surgeon. He was born in Ireland, studied at Trinity College, Dublin between 1810 and 1814 and received his B.A. in 1814. He began his medical training under William Hartigan and George Stewart, leading Dublin surgeons. He was elected a fellow of the Royal College of Surgeons in 1818 and then went abroad to complete his medical and surgical training. On his return to Dublin he was elected surgeon to the Jervis Street Hospital and the Richmond Hospital. He took part in founding the Carmichael School of Medicine and taught there for many years. He later became three times president of the Royal College of Surgeons and the Dublin Pathological Society, and, in 1862, both Surgeon in Ordinary to the Queen in Ireland, and Regius Professor of Surgery at the University of Dublin. His work focussed on cardiac, respiratory, vascular and joint diseases, and emphasised postmortem examination. He published a number of important medical texts, including Diseases of the Heart, but it was his work on gout, from which he suffered himself, that made him famous. Stokes-Adams disease is named after him and William Stokes. He was buried in Mount Jerome Cemetery, Dublin.

The map is ornamented by fifteen finely engraved vignettes that show notable buildings and residences in the county, including the Exeter Court House, Swamscot Machine and South New Market Iron Foundry, and Philips, Kingston, Hampton, and Rockingham academies. There are also tables of distances and statistics. Not in Rumsey who lists only one Chace map, of Cumberland County, Maine. An exemplary New Hampshire county map.

        A Legal Review of the Case of Dred Scott, as decided by the Supreme Court of the United States. From the Law Reporter for June, 1857.

      Boston: Crosby, Nichols, and Co., 1857.. 62 pp. 8vo. Stitched paper wrappers. First separate edition. Sabin 78260. LCP Afro-Americana, 4232. Dumond p. 61. Cohen 11882. Work p. 345. Eleven years earlier, Dred Scott sued for his freedom in one of the most famous of all Supreme Court cases, one he lost and which ultimately led to the Civil War. "One of the earliest and best argued legalistic attacks on Chief Justice Taney's opinion in Dred Scott. It first appeared as an article in the June 1857 issue of the Law Reporter, which at that time was edited by Lowell?. Both authors were bright young men in the legal profession. Lowell ultimately became a federal district judge and Gray would spend twenty-one years as an associate Justice of the U.S. Supreme Court. Although Gray and Lowell are quite mild in their criticism of Taney, the pamphlet is an excellent example of how conservative Northern lawyers were appalled by the partisan and unjudicial [sic] nature of Taney's opinion. They suggest that his opinion ?is unworthy of the reputation of that great magistrate (p.9). In dissecting Taney's opinion, they present several arguments: (1) They argue that Negroes could be citizens of the U.S. This is primarily a historical argument taken mostly from Justice Curtis? dissent. (2) If Taney is correct in his assertion that the Supreme Court has no jurisdiction in the case, because a black man cannot sue in federal court, then he also has no right to examine the merits of the case. (3) Congress has the right to regulate the territories. (4) The Somerset rule is good law in the United States and thus any slave brought into a free jurisdiction by his master becomes free the moment that slaves touches free soil. (5) The U.S. Supreme court does not have to follow the rule on Dred Scott?s status as decided by the Missouri Supreme Court?? Paul Finkelman (Slavery in the Courtroom: an Annotated Bibliography of American Cases, pp. 51-52). ABPC shows only one at auction in the last quarter century. A very good+ copy, wrappers mildly worn, mainly along the spine.

OCLC records four copies, all in California, and attributes a date of "1880s," which seems off by about 25 years; the song first made its appearance in the U.S. around 1850, which seems much closer in style with the type of paper and the printing on this sheet; the only other music we could find distributed by Tyler at his San Francisco book store was dated in 1860. .

Benedict-Augustin Morel&#146;s theory of degeneration dominated French psychiatry for almost a century after its publication in 1857 because it provided psychiatry with a convincing biological explanation about how abnormal mental conditions were acquired. Combining concepts of acquired traits becoming fixed in germ plasm, drug toxicity, and hereditary transmission, Morel described a progressive generational degeneration starting with neurosis in the first generation, mental alienation in the next, and imbecility in the third, culminating in sterility in the fourth and final generation ...&#146; Ernest L.

I could be mistaken in asserting this as first edition, it shows no later printings and I surmise was not reprinted in this era. It is X-library, showing marks from the time of it&#39;s making thru 1951 of this staus. Ribbed at spine with title done in gilt on red, balance tan leather. Ribs and boards edges have gilt work. First pastedown has seller and xlibrils labels. Text edges have Law Library stamps. 328 pages w/ a good bit of text darkening, binding holding beautifully. No restorer has been used on it and it is now stored air tight. Should one wish to read it I&#39;d suggest Fredelka or lanolin based treatment to preserve leather suppleness. We do not use these based on archivist recommendation.There is exterior hinge abrasion and board edge chipping. Endsheets have traces foxing and the title page and last endsheet have small, light pencil marks. Corners have much abrasion and shaping to text. Foto will follow shortly..

Lower hinge reinforced with cloth tape, and lower joint split. Upper joint tender but holding. Spine somewhat creased. Occasional light scattered foxing. Ex-libris signed in ink by British artist Louis Ginnett (1875-1946) The first appearance of the celebrated Moxon edition of Tennyson's poems, with 54 wood-engraved illustrations designed by 8 artists, including the Pre-Raphaeilites John Everett Millais, William Holman Hunt, and Dante Gabriel Rossetti. The Wiltshire-based art blogger "Hermes" informs us that Moxon conceived the project for the Christmas gift season of 1856, but Rossetti was late with his designs. Consequently, Hermes writes, "the book missed the Christmas market when its high cost would have been more acceptable, and therefore sold very slowly from February 1857. The financial consequences are said to have led to Moxon&#146;s early death." In addition to the Pre-Raphaelites, members of the Royal Academy, such as Daniel Maclise, John Horsley and William Mulready, contributed many designs. In an academic article on the volume's wood engravings, Prof. Lorraine Janzen Kooistra of the University of Toronto wrote, "The Pre-Raphaelite illustrations for the Moxon Tennyson appalled and delighted Victorian readers for all of thesereasons. Collectively, they established an entirely new approach to the art of literary illustration, one thatinfluenced book artists for the remainder of the century and well into the twentieth." First illustrated edition of Tennyson's collected poems. [Attributes: Hard Cover]

Dr. John Evans (1812-1861) was a geologist and physician who, after leading a party in exploration of Minnesota and the Dakotas, traveled almost entirely alone to Oregon. "With appropriations from the General Land Office he pursued his 12, 000 miles of exploration in Oregon-Washington through the Indian wars into 1856. Congress refused to reimburse him for the necessary expenditures and did not support either preparation or publication of his report. The manuscript reportedly languishes to this day in the Smithsonian, " (White p. 147). Evans died on a geological survey of Panama. Quite scarce. None listed in OCLC.

A church-state controversy involving the use of public funds to finance the common school system to the detriment of Catholic sectarian schools. The Clergy Reserve funds were intended for Catholics and Protestants alike. To avoid dissension the legislature decided instead to devote the funds to educational resources for the common school system and public libraries. Rev. Bruyere, representing Catholic interests, protests the use of Catholic and Protestant money to bolster common schools where religion is "banished ... where the child of Christian parents must be taught practically that all religious systems are equally pleasing ... be he a believer in the immutable decrees of eternal reprobation or a follower of the imposter Joe Smith."
