The 200 plates are songs, headed and surrounded with pictorial embellishments illustrative of the song ..., and engraved in the style of and even copied directly from Gravelot and Watteau. This work was the first of its kind to be published in England and quickly produced imitators such as Lampe's British Melody, engraved by Benjamin Cole. A second edition, corrected by Lampe, was also issued in parts (1740-41), and a third, printed from the original plates, appeared in 1765, issued by John Ryall. Other musical works engraved by Bickham include Songs in the Opera of Flora (1737), An Easy Introduction to Dancing (1738) and the frontispiece for Simpson's The Delightful Pocket Companion for the German Flute (c1745)." Frank Kidson, et al. in Grove Music Online The Musical Entertainer is considered to be one of the finest 18th century illustrated books. Complete copies of this monumental work, particularly with the subscribers list, are quite rare.

In November of 1953, the Pottstown chapter of the Aircraft Owners and Pilots Association (AOPA) - a social club for men interested in planes and aviation - elected Fred K Reigner as their new Chairman. The Chairman had a lot of responsibilities, especially in the Pottstown AOPA – JB “Doc” Hartranft, the President of the AOPA in 1953, was quoted in a local Pennsylvania newspaper complimenting the chapter, saying “you folks really do what you plan.” As Chairman, Frank K Reigner planned dozens of outings around Pennsylvania and beyond, sending letters almost daily to coordinate their meetings and social events. In one binder, he kept his notes and copies of all his correspondence for the year he was Chairman, leaving behind an incredible snapshot of the world of the AOPA in the 1950s.

Title: August Flower and German Syrup Almanac for the Year 1915
Seller: Eclectibles (United States)
Condition: Good to very good. Rust staining from staples, a couple other stains. Light toning, corners bumped, otherwise in very nice shape
Description: Woodbury, New Jersey: G.G. Green, 1915. Good to very good. Rust staining from staples, a couple other stains. Light toning, corners bumped, otherwise in very nice shape.. A beautifully designed 1915 almanac promoting mail-order medicines sold by G.G. Green. This particular Green almanac courts a more wealthy or up-market clientele. The front depicts Columbia with her shield and a cornucopia of Green's medicines, looking out onto a grand scene showing "Industry and Commerce" spurred on by land and sea. The back is equally fascinating, and depicts well-heeled gentlemen and gentlewomen attending a silent film accompanied by an orchestra. The moving picture on screen depicts white men defending their covered wagons carrying Green's medicines from Native American men on horses, depicted stereotypically to evoke fear and anger from white audiences. An interesting display of social thoughts and values at the time. Content inside the almanac includes astronomical phenomena for the upcoming year, weather, cartoons, descriptions and pitches for patent medicines by Green, medical and health advice, and monthly charts for recording weather and other information. Note the misogynistic cartoon on p.31 reinforcing the sexist belief that women should not have their own bank accounts and financial independence. before the 1960s, women could not open their own bank accounts without permission from a husband or introduction from a man. Also features a rather disturbing cartoon on p.9 that somehow manages to be sexist, racist, and classist, all that the same time. Single vol. (9" by 6.75"), pp. 32, illus., in original illus. wrps printed in red and blue with Columbia on front, theater on back. This 1915 almanac not in WorldCat (Feb. 2025). George Gill Green (1842-1925) served as a surgeon in the Union army during the Civil War, and went on to start his wholesale drug business in 1867. Green was one of the most successful early patent medicine entrepreneurs, and built a successful clientele based on a mail-order business model.

Author: JOSEPH VARNUM
Seller: Stuart Lutz Historic Documents, Inc. (United States)
Description: JOSEPH BRADLEY VARNUM (1750/1751-1821). Varnum was a long-time Massachusetts politician affiliated with the Democratic-Republican Party. He served as a Congressman from 1895-1811, including as Speaker of the House of Representatives from 1807 to 1811, and a Senator from 1811 to 1817, including as President Pro Tempore from 1813 to 1814. AL. 2 pg. 8 x 10. January 22, 1803. An autographed letter, though unsigned, from Joseph Bradley Varnum to an unidentified individual. The document is in response to a letter previously written by the individual: Pray Sir what is your precise meaning when you say, you wish to have our own Countrymen put in office in preference to any other under heaven and in pursuing the Idea You say that you presume we have Men of our own Country that are Qualified to fill any office, if not you say, let us give up our Independence to foreigners. After summarizing why the receiver cannot mean actual foreign citizens, Varum writes: There is but one other point of light in which I can possibly view your meaning, and that never would have entered my head had it not been Suggested by others. I must then take it for granted, that you have adopted the idea of distinction between a natural born Citizen, and one who has been born in another Country, and hath since become a Citizen. This distinction has been lately taken by the federal partyto figure to themselves a more plausible pretext for calumy Mr. Gallatin, the present Secretary of the Treasury, and imbitter the minds of the people against him. Nothing of this kind was said by them when Mr. Hamilton was in the same office nowand in fact it ought, for he as well as Mr. Gallatin was, by the Constitution, entitled to all the privileges of a natural born Citizen. By the Constitution of the United States, and by the Laws which have been passed agreeable to it, provided, that every person who is a naturalized Citizen, shall be intitled to all the privileges and amenities of a free born Citizen, except only that of being elected President of the U.S. This letter is excellent insight into anti-immigrant sentiment in the early days of the republic. Most often, the Alien & Sedition Acts are seen as evidence of opposition to foreign and foreign-born influence in the United States, but the treatment of Albert Gallatin, the Swiss-born longest-serving Secretary of the Treasury and founder of New York University, among other accomplishments, is a striking example. Gallatin was often portrayed as a corrupting, un-American, manipulative influence on Presidents Jefferson and Madison. A typed transcription is included, though it incorrectly gives the year of the letter as 1863, among other relatively minor errors. The letter is in fine condition.

Title: Manuscript map of 21 named properties in Sherburn, New York, with Autograph Note Signed, in pencil, to James Coolidge. Sherburn, undated, ca. 1831-33
Author: Maynard, Edward (1813-1891)
Seller: Michael Brown Rare Books, LLC (United States)
Description: Single sheet measuring 12 x 15 ½ inches. Some chips and tears, repaired with archival tape, with no significant loss of text. 1833 Maynard's Earliest known manuscript – hand-drawn map and letter - by the Dentist who would become the leading gun inventor of the Civil War. The note reads: "I can do nothing toward finishing the map until I have the distances which I have marked...If you can ascertain these distances, I think I can get along. P.S. When you have marked the distances on the lines, hand the sheet to Father, and he will send to bring it to me…Put the distances down in chains and links...The scale I use is set for that way of measuring…" Ten years before the Civil War, Maynard, then a popular Washington, D.C. dentist, invented the breech-loading gun known as the Maynard Carbine, which would be used by thousands of Union and Confederate Cavalry soldiers. This map, drawn 20 years before, as a 19- or 20-year-old West Point dropout, may be the earliest known example of his youthful talents. (The Maynard Papers at the Library of Congress apparently date from 1836, after he had relocated to Washington.) When young Maynard drew this map of the properties adjacent to the farm of his father, a New York state legislator and County Sheriff, he had just quit West Point where he had found the drill too strenuous for his "delicate health". Returning to his home in Sherburn to begin the self-study of surveying, civil engineering, drawing, architecture and anatomy - all in preparation for his chosen career of Dentistry – he began to design and forge his own dental instruments, personally welding iron and steel at a local blacksmith's shop, some of his inventions accepted as brilliant innovations in Dental instrumentation of the time. After briefly practicing Dentistry in Utica, in 1835, he moved permanently to Washington, D.C., where, in addition to his dental practice, he displayed skill in wood engraving, wood carving, clay modeling, painting and architectural drawing (which "ranked with the best efforts of the most accomplished experts.") Working for a time in Europe as "Imperial Court Dentist" to the Czar of Russia, he returned to Washington to care for the teeth of an exclusive clientele that included several Presidents, being renowned in the capital as the first American Dentist to fill teeth with gold foil. But all this was prelude to the firearms invention that made him world famous among military professionals. In 1845 he patented a system of priming consisting of a coiled, tape-like paper strip containing fifty fulminate caps spaced at equal distances apart, and a mechanism which automatically fed the tape, a cap at a time, from the recess of the gun in which it was protected, into position for firing. The Maynard tape primer, as it was called, was adopted by the federal government and generally used by the governments of Europe. In 1851 he patented an improvement in breech-loading rifles here which, with subsequent improvements made by him in the succeeding fourteen years, brought about the general adoption of the Maynard rifle by governments and sportsmen throughout the world. Prior to 1886 he patented also a number of minor improvements in firearms, including a method of converting muzzle-loaders into breech-loaders; a method of joining two rifle or shotgun barrels to permit a longitudinal expansion or contraction; and a device to indicate the number of cartridges in a magazine of a repeating firearm.

Condition: Very Good
Description: New York: Osprey, 2009. 1st Printing. Soft Cover. Very Good. 7x0x9. Hook, Adam. First printing. Covers toned. 2009 Soft Cover. 64 pp. Germany's Atlantic Wall was the most ambitious military fortification program of World War II. Following its conquest of Western Europe, Germany had to defend some 5,000 kilometers of Atlantic coastline from the Spanish border to the Arctic Circle. The United States' entry into the war and the inevitability of an Anglo-American landing in Western Europe resulted in the fortification of this coastline along its entire length. Focusing on the northern Atlantic Wall in the Low Countries and Scandinavia, this title addresses the special defensive features and unique aspects of fortification in these countries, such as the early focus on fortifying Norway, due to early British commando raids; the greater use of turreted naval guns; and the establishment of first-line Flak defenses in the Low Countries to counter the Allied strategic bombing campaign.
