Description:
Chicag: Lakeside Press R.R. Donnelley & Sons Co., 1949. xlv,383,[2]pp. plus four plates. Frontispiece map. 12mo. Original dark red cloth, spine gilt, front board gilt-ruled with gilt-stamped publisher's logo, t.e.g. Spine slightly faded, minor shelf wear to boards. Pen note on blank verso of final index page, interior otherwise clean, untoned, and unmarked. Near fine. Unlike other titles in the Lakeside Classics series, Quaife created the present volume to mark the centennial of the 1849 California Gold Rush with "a considerable number of selections from various sources, chosen with the view of providing a somewhat general conspectus of the entire Gold Rush." Includes accounts from Hinton Helper, J.D. Borthwick, Bayard Taylor, Walter Colton, Dame Shirley, Daniel B. Woods, and Alonzo Delano. Kurutz describes these as "several of [the Gold Rush's] finest observers," and also compliments the quality of Quaife's historical introduction. This is number forty-seven in the Lakeside Classics series. KURUTZ 520.

Description:
[Various locations: and publishers, as noted below, 1821-1834].. Two volumes. Various paginations, as given below. Bound in two volumes. Contemporary three-quarter calf and marbled boards, spines gilt. Boards rubbed, shelfworn, corners and spine ends worn. Intermittent tanning, foxing, and staining. Very good overall. An interesting sammelband, consisting of twenty-nine tracts published variously between 1821 and 1834, all relating in one way or another to the Society of Friends, and bound in a matching set of two volumes. The volumes, and many of the bound-in pamphlets, bear the handwritten signature of "Wm Procter," and each volume of texts is preceded by a table of contents written in ink in the same hand. Some pamphlets also note the year Procter acquired them. The compiler of these two volumes was almost certainly William Procter (1780-1860) of Baltimore, Maryland. Born in York, England, Procter arrived in Baltimore in 1796 at the age of sixteen. He married Anna Wilson in 1809, and together they…

Description:
Quebec, 1859. 16,24,29-43pp. plus 2 folding maps. Frontis. Original printed wrappers bound into modern plain cloth. Very good. The second edition of REMINISCENCES OF QUEBEC..., "considerably augmented and improved," first published in 1858. The present copy has a wrapper dated 1862. The content is identical to that of the 1859 edition, and this issue presumably simply used new wrappers. Most of the pamphlet is given over to a general, tourist-oriented description of the city. The second part, with the caption title "Siege of Quebec in 1759. Translated from the French. Narrative of the doings during the Siege of Quebec...by a Nun of the General Hospital of Quebec...," is a translation of a text first published in 1840 and which appeared with differing pagination in the 1858 edition (this edition is also listed separately by Sabin as 80871). It is an integral part of the REMINISCENCES pamphlet. The latter part presents an interesting first-hand account of the 1759 siege and storming of the city. TPL…

Oahu: Mei Pai Palapala a na Misionari, 1836.. 152pp. 12mo. Contemporary calf, spine tooled in gilt, leather label. Hinges lightly rubbed. Bookplate on front pastedown. Near fine. The second edition, with a printing of only 3,000 copies. The title translates as: "The inquiry, questions illustrating the meaning of the Holy Scriptures. A good thing for Sunday Schools. Book I. About the story of Jesus and his miracles." This copy is from the library of James F. Hunnewell (1832-1910), with his bookplate. Hunnewell was a Boston book collector and bibliographer. He published BIBLIOGRAPHY OF THE HAWAIIAN ISLANDS in 1869. His father, James Hunnewell, became familiar with the islands when the ship he was on was sold to Hawaiian chiefs. The senior Hunnewell was responsible for collecting the payment in sandalwood and then selling it in China. As a result, he spent several months in the islands and became friendly with the local populace. In 1820 he arrived in Honolulu as second mate on the brig Thaddeus, the…

Description:
Baltimor, 1811. 23pp. Dbd. Spine reinforced with tissue, later stitching. Extensive contemporary ownership markings to titlepage. Some light toning and foxing. About very good. Vehement speech by Massachusetts Congressman Josiah Quincy III, opposing Louisiana's entry into the Union. In his speech, Quincy declares that "if this bill passes [to allow Louisiana into the Union], the bonds of this union are virtually dissolved; that the states which compose it are free from their moral obligations, and that as it will be the right of all, so it will be the duty of some to prepare, definitely, for a separation; amicably, if they can, violently, if they must." Quincy objects to the admission of any new states into the Union by an expansion of U.S. territory, interpreting the Constitution to mean that new states may be admitted only within the current boundaries of the country. Quincy's speech failed to rally support to block Louisiana's admission, and it joined the United States as the eighteenth state in…
