Description
Paris: Imprimerie Royale, 1751. Engraved headpieces and 16 folding engraved plates. Contemporary mottled calf, spines and labels gilt, red edges, green silk markers (crowns chipped). A pretty, fresh set. Second edition of one of the earliest books on hatching and raising chicks. The first volume describes using ovens as hatcheries and how to properly build them; Reaumur invented this form of artificial incubation. The second focuses on hatched chicks: introducing hens to them, what to feed them, and different methods of rearing them and their advantages and disadvantages. The final part supplies games and amusements for poultry farmers to play with their birds; according to the author, happy birds lay more eggs, and happy farmers have more productive farms. The text refers often to the copious illustrations, and in this edition, not just the plates, but the engraved headpieces feature figure numbers for text references (very unusual!). Nissen 3314; Sander 1657.

Description
Boston, New - England: Printed and Sold by John Draper, in Cornhill, 1757. 31, [1 blank] pp, with the half title as issued. Stitched. Lower blank corner of half title clipped, light foxing. Faint decorative blindstamp. Else Very Good, with attractive typography. Wigglesworth was Hollisian Professor of Divinity at Harvard. Wikipedia says, "The Dudleian lectures are a series of prestigious lectures on religion at Harvard University, where they are the oldest endowed lectureship." He devotes the occasion to "detecting, and convicting and exposing the Idolatry of the Romish Church, their Tyranny, Usurpations, damnable Heresies, fatal Errors, abominable Superstitions, and other crying Wickedness in their high Places; and finally to prove, that the Church of Rome is that mystical Babylon, that Man of Sin, that apostate Church, spoken of in the New-Testament."

Description
Coshocton, Ohio, 1826. Single leaf, 7-1/4" x 12-1/4." Entirely in manuscript. Folded for docketing: "John H. Hutchinson | Declaration of Intention | to become a Citizen &c. | Filed November 23 1826. Common Please Record No. 31 of November Term 1826 Recorded." Light wear, a few fold splits [repaired with archival tape]. Very Good. The Constitution grants Congress the power to enact uniform laws of naturalization. Hutchinson's application was governed by the Naturalization Act of 1802, which required the applicant to be of the Caucasian persuasion; of good moral character; a resident in the United States for five years; and to declare, at least three years in advance, his intent to become a U.S. citizen. This manuscript document was Hutchinson's declaration of intention, to be followed by the later prescribed applications. Before the 1802 Act, Nativists had succeeded in requiring a 14-year residency in the U.S. as a precondition to citizenship. John H. Hutchinson [1800-1870], born in Ireland, immigrated to the United States as a young man, worked as a tailor, and then took up farming. He became Sheriff of Coshocton County 1833-1837. He married Abigail Phillips [1804-1889] who was related to the New Jersey Harts, including John Hart, one of the signers of the Declaration of Independence. Only in America!
