Description
[France]: Unique, ca1860. Original black, full Russia leather with a fine pebble grain pattern; a.e.g.. Near fine; binding bumped and a bit rubbed.. Oblong 4to, 33 unnumbered pages (stiff glazed paper) with 22 mounted star maps (various sizes) drawn on deep violet colored paper in black and gold ink. An accomplished manuscript, beautifully rendered, by an individual with advanced knowledge of interstellar space. It is also unusual in that the text initially emphasizes findings in the southern hemisphere. Discussion involves fixed stars, double stars, and variable stars and the seasonal variation as to what is observable. The color of stars, distances, culminate in the author's consideration of observable nebulae and reference to the then recent discoveries of Lord Rosse of new, spiral galaxies, beautifully illustrated in this text. Robert Grant, History of Physical Astronomy, (pp. 568 - 577, London, 1852) provides contemporary context for the speculations of the author and for Rosse's important discoveries - only possible with the use of the largest reflector constructed to date (1845). It is most unusual to find such a self-aware manuscript that is well in advance of any academic exercise. The author's avowed consideration - from the title - of the large structures of the observable universe segue to informed speculation about the processes that made possible these structures.

Description
Columbus: Ohio State Journal Steam Press, 1865. 13, [1 blanks] pp. Disbound. else Very Good. The people of this Ohio town, an anti-slavery stronghold, seek assurances from Jacob Cox, Union candidate for Governor, that he favors "modifying our Constitution so as to give the elective franchise to colored men;" and that, "in the re-organization of the Southern States the elective franchise [should] be secured to the colored people." The Committee says, "the distinction made... between white and colored people was made in the interest of slavery, and is both wicked and absurd." Responding only three months after Lincoln's assassination, Cox disappoints. Touting his anti-slavery credentials, he says he intends to follow President Johnson's lead; but the races have developed a "rooted antagonism which makes their permanent fusion in one political community an absolute impossibility." His solution is to "organize the freedmen in a dependency of the Union analogous to the Western territories." "This pamphlet documents the exchange between a self-appointed committee of Ohioans and gubernatorial candidate Jacob D. Cox on his views of Reconstruction. Cox's letter established him as a supporter of President Andrew Johnson's anti-black suffrage platform, and further suggested that the races should live separately. Cox partly dismissed the committtee's concerns for black suffrage since they were not empowered by an incorporated organization such as a political party. While Cox had enough supporters to win election to one term of office, Ohio Radical Republicans insured that the governor elected in the 1867 elections was more sympathetic to the extension of civil rights to black Ohioans" [Library Company online article, The Genius of Freedom].
