Description
Mexico City: July 16, 1836. Very good.. Broadside, 12.25 x 8.5 inches. One light fold down middle, minor loss to lower corners. A rare broadside that promulgates a decree from the Mexican federal government, ordering that foreign goods be allowed into the port of Matamoros in order to supply the army in the war against Texas. It further states that only foreign provisions imported for the support of the expeditionary force, as well as mules and wagons to convey them, will be exempted from tariff and seizure within the country. The text reads, in part: "1.o Durante la guerra con los sublevados de Tejas, se permitirá la introducción de víveres del extrangero por el puerto de Matamoros. 2.o Los derechos que se causen en dicha introduccion, se pagarán en el acto en víveres recibiéndose estos al precio de aforo, y destinándose exclusivamente à la subsistencia del Ejército espedicionario sobre Tejas. 3.o Los que de lo interior se conduzcan al mismo Ejército, serán libres de todo derecho, y no podrán embargarse las mulas ó carruagas en que se trasporten." The present decree was issued on July 16, 1836, in Mexico City. Perhaps in response to this order, the Texans blockaded Matamoros, which occupies a strategic position at the mouth of the Rio Grande across from Brownsville, from July 21 through the end of October. We locate three copies of this broadside -- the Streeter copy, now at Yale, and two additional examples, at Texas A&M and Penn. Streeter Texas 880.

Geneva:: Marc-Michel Bousquet, 1732-41., 1732. 5 volumes. 4to. 246x202 mm. xxiv, 526; viii, 396, [2]; vii, [1], 581, [1]; viii, 374, [2]; [8], 501 pp., including errata leaf at end of Volumes 2 and 4. WITH THE FINE COPPER-ENGRAVED PORTRAIT OF WOLFF BY DAUDET AS FRONTISPIECE, AND WITH 164 FOLDING ENGRAVED PLATES; occasional browning, scattered soiling and stains, some early marginalia. Contemporary vellum boards, marbled edges; somewhat soiled, spines darkened. Preserved in the Robert Honeyman-commissioned quarter red morocco slipcases. Stamps of the Cologne Gymnasium on titles; signatures of E. F. August dated 1822-23; bookplates of Robert Honeyman IV. [The August – Honeyman – Gutzwiller copy]. Later edition, published in Geneva, of the 1713 Latin version of Wolff's 1710 Anfangsgrunde aller mathematischen Wissenschaften, a textbook used as the basis for teaching mathematics through the end of the 18th century. This massive work encompasses all the aspects of mathematics, arithmetic, geometry, trigonometry, infinitesimal calculus, mechanics, statics, hydrostatics, hydraulics, aerometry, optics, perspective, catoptrics, astronomy, geography, hydrography, chronology, gnomonics, pyrotechnics, civil and military architecture, and perspective. The fifth volume contains a survey of historical mathematical literature, a guide to the teaching of mathematical disciplines, and indexes. This set is entirely complete and is notably from the Honeyman collection, thus a known provenance. / Christian Wolff (less correctly Wolf, also known as Wolfius; ennobled as Christian Freiherr von Wolff in 1745) was a German philosopher. Wolff was the most eminent German philosopher between Leibniz and Kant. His main achievement was a complete oeuvre on almost every scholarly subject of his time, displayed and unfolded according to his demonstrative-deductive, mathematical method, which perhaps represents the peak of Enlightenment rationality in Germany. / PROVENANCE: Cologne Gymnasium – manuscript signature initials 'E. F. August', dated 1822-23, probable: Ernst Ferdinand August (1795-1870) – Robert B. Honeyman Jr. (Sotheby-London, lot 3135, Honeyman sale, 20 May 1981) – Martin C.

Boston: Printed by Benjamin Edes and Sons, 1780. Small 4to. 185 x 120 mm., [7 ¼ x 4 ½ inches]. 35 pp., including half-title. Old library pamphlet binder. Marked "Withdrawn Bowdoin College Library" pencil mark "Dup" on paper label. First edition. The American Academy of Arts and Sciences was founded in Boston in 1780 during one of the most difficult years of the American Revolution. James Bowdoin was the first president and other founders were John Adams and John Hancock. It is the oldest society of its kind in America and was organized to foster the development of a new nation in the liberal arts, commerce, agriculture, science, and technology. Bowdoin's speech begins with a recitation on the history of nations and their development from classical time to the modern nation states of Europe. He continues by arguing that the United States of America is advancing civilization in a new hemisphere with a new governmental structure created for the well-being of its citizens and prosperity of its people. In keeping with the scholarly nature of the Academy, the final four pages of pamphlet are devoted to the discovery in a quarry in New Hampshire of a valuable stone called "lapis specularis". The natural characteristics of the stone is the thin and transparent plate layer that can be cut and can become a substitute for window glass. "Includes a discussion of newly discovered deposits of talc, and its uses" (Rink). Evans, American Bibliography, Vol. VI, 16720. Sabin, Dictionary of Books Relating to America, 7016.

Description
Kansas City, MO: Max C. Reefer, 1915. Very good. Large circular; 11 3/4 x 9 1/2; single sheet, pp. [2]; illustrated with two engravings; offest to upper margin from stored together with another publication; small creases to corners and a few minor nicks to edges; overall in very good condition. Born in Austria in 1848, Max C. Reefer immigrated to the US in 1861 and worked as a typesetter for the New York Tribune and several other papers in Chicago and St. Louis, before moving with his family to Kansas City in 1863 and opening the Green Mountain Distillery. Being not quite a true distiller, but rather buying whiskeys from other distilleries, mixing his own, proprietary blends, and bottling them under his own label, Reefer was nevertheless very successful in his enterprise. With a business model focused on aggressive, elaborate advertising, free giveaways to customers, and mail order sales, he would also be, allegedly, the only business to ever openly oppose one of the biggest monopolies in the US - the Whiskey Trust. Reefer's current circular began: "The country is going prohibition mad. Kentucky is 98 per cent dry and we don't know when the other 2 per cent will follow...Who can account for fanaticism?..." It listed his wholesale prices on various whiskeys, as well as an offer for 4 gallons of the finest pilgrim whiskey for $9.77. He also offered genuine Waltham or Elgin pocket watches, "The Offer of the Century!," with orders of 10 gallons or more.

Description
Stoughton, MA: Western Hemisphere, Inc, 1970. First Edition. 390pp. Quarto [28.5 cm] Red cloth with the title gilt stamped on the front board. Near fine. Fold-out map present at the rear. "If those who read Howard Gardiner's account of his experiences in California between 1849 and 1857 will thereafter return to this summary survey, they will be impressed with the immense solidity of his narrative, and the large extent of the canvas on which he has worked. I think it is quite clear that nothing in the existing literature compares with his reminiscences." - Dale Morgan. In addition to reprinting Gardiner's work, Morgan compiled a substantial introduction consisting of a bibliographic essay on the northern mines and correspondence concerning the original publication of the reminiscences. Gardiner rounded the Horn in 1849. The narrative is pleasantly readable with the color of mining life and surroundings painted on the business-like outlines of actual mining. Particularly interesting are the recitations of his activities in the San Francisco supply trade, which fed and clothed those bound for the gold fields. Saunders 62.

Description
New York: Simon & Schuster, (2002). Octavo, blue & black boards (hardcover), gilt letters, xiv + 377 pp. Near-Fine in a Fine dust jacket. From dust jacket: From one of America’s most respected historians, The Conquerors reveals one of the most important stories of World War II. As Allied soldiers fought the Nazis, Franklin Roosevelt and, later, Harry Truman fought in private with Churchill and Stalin over how to ensure that Germany could never threaten the world again. Eleven years in the writing, drawing on newly opened American, Soviet and British documents as well as private diaries, letters and secret audio recordings, Michael Beschloss’s gripping narrative lets us eavesdrop on private conversations and telephone calls among a cast of historical giants. The book casts new light upon Roosevelt’s concealment of what American knew about Hitler’s war against the Jews and his foot-dragging on saving refugees; FDR’s actions so shocked his closest friend in the Cabinet, Secretary of the Treasury Henry Morgenthau, Jr., that Morgenthau risked their friendship by accusing the President of “acquiescence” in the murder of the Jews.” After the Normandy invasion, “obsessed” by what he had learned about the Nazis and the Holocaust, Morgenthau drew up a secret blueprint for the Allies to crush Germany by destroying German mines and factories after the European victory. As The Conquerors shows, FDR endorsed most of Morgenthau’s plan, and privately pressured a reluctant Churchill to concur. Horrified, Secretary of State Cordell Hull and Secretary of War Henry Stimson leaked the plan to the press at the zenith of the 1944 campaign. Hitler’s propagandist Joseph Goebbels denounced the Roosevelt-Churchill “Jewish murder plan” and claimed it would kill forty-three million Germans. Republican presidential candidate Thomas Dewey charged that by stiffening German resistance, publicity about Morgenthau’s plan had cost many U.S. solderis’ lives. The Conquerors explores suspicions that Soviet secret agents manipulated Roosevelt and his officials to do Stalin’s bidding on Germany. It reveals new information on FDR’s hidden illnesses and how they affected his leadership -- and his private talk about quitting his job during his fourth term and letting Harry Truman become President. It shows us FDR’s final dinner, in April 1945, in Warm Springs, Georgia, at which the President and Morgenthau were still arguing over postwar Germany. Finally it shows how the unprepared new President Truman managed to pick up the pieces and push Stalin and Churchill to accede to a bargain that would let the Anglo-Americans block Soviet threats against Western Euorpe and ensure that the world would not have to fear another Adolf Hitler.
