Title: Thomas Jefferson Signs a Far Reaching Act of Congress Growing the US Infantry to Protect the Western Frontier
Author: Thomas Jefferson
Seller: The Raab Collection (United States)
Description: 08/05/1792. This great act funded the creation of just the 2nd regiment of US infantry, as well as for the Federal Judiciary, the State and Treasury Departments, and for paying the commissioners who negotiated the second treaty with the western Native Americans; It also authorizes and pays for raising the second regiment for the United States ArmyThe U.S. Army’s 1st Regiment of Infantry was organized in 1789 just after the first government under the new U.S. Constitution got under way. But soon eyes began to turn to the west, to lands under the Northwest Ordinance, and it was clear that a force was needed to deal with the Native Americans and tame the territory. So in March 1791, Congress added the 2nd Regiment of Infantry, with officers, and eight companies of about 100 men each. Of course, the new regiment needed to be funded. In the fall of that year the regiment would be ordered to take the field against the Miami Native Americans and proceeded to Fort Washington, now Cincinnati. It took part in Governor Arthur St. Clair’s campaign against Little Turtle, chief of the Miamis. Thereafter the unit became part of Gen. Anthony Wayne’s command.In January 1790, Alexander Hamilton, installed as the first Secretary of the Treasury, submitted his Report on the Public Credit to Congress. He called for funding nearly all the government's obligations, including the state debts, into long-term federal securities payable in specie - that is, gold or silver. After considerable debate Hamilton's proposals were adopted in August 1790. The foreign debt was fully funded, as was most of the domestic debt; but there was a need for the government to authorize access to hard money, rather than paper to pay these obligations. And with Hamilton undertaking establishment of the first Bank of the United States in addition to the Treasury Departments other expenditures, Treasury had a shortfall in funding. This Act aimed to help cover those costs.The United States census is the basis of apportionment of representatives to Congress, and as such is the foundation of the American democracy. The census was of such import that it was mandated in Article I, Section 2 of the U.S. Constitution, and this provision was then supplemented by laws of Congress. These required that every household in the nation be visited, that completed census schedules be posted in 'two of the most public places within [each jurisdiction], there to remain for the inspection of all concerned...' and that 'the aggregate amount of each description of persons' for every district be transmitted to the President. The first U.S. census was taken on Census Day, August 2, 1790, and enumerated the population of the United States as 3,929,214. This was thus the first census affecting Congressional apportionment. The expenses of the census had been underestimated, and the final ones needed to be paid.On March 15, 1785, Congress appointed commissioners to treat with the Cherokees for the purpose of making a peace treaty with them. The commissioners were Benjamin Hawkins, Daniel Carroll, and William Peery. Hawkins was a delegate to the Continental Congress who in 1796 would be appointed by President Washington as General Superintendent for Indian Affairs. Carroll was a signer of both the Articles of Confederation and the Constitution of the United States. He was a cousin of Charles Carroll of Carrollton, a signer of the Declaration of Independence. Peery was a delegate to the Continental Congress. In November 1785 the treaty was concluded, in which the Cherokees were obligated to agree and acknowledge that they were under the protection of the United States. This was just the second Indian treaty concluded by the U.S. government for the western lands. The commissioners had expenses, and surprisingly, in 1791 these had not yet been satisfied.In the years immediately after they were founded under the Judiciary Act of 1789, Federal courts were thought of as essentially self-financing, taking their revenues from a fund arising from fines, forfeitures and penalties imposed on those appearing before them. For example, a ship’s captain might be fined for dodging customs at a major port. However, these sources proved insufficient for payment of all of the expenses of the growing court system, so supplementary monies were required. The idea that courts were self-funding was wishful thinking and would be abandoned. In any event, there was a serious deficiency in 1791.In 1787, Congress passed “An Ordinance for settling the accounts between the United States & Individual States.” These claims were for wartime expenses, post-war militia expenses, and advances or disbursements made for the commissary, quartermaster, marine and hospital departments, if paid for a Federal purpose. The act authorized the appointment of commissioners to go into the states and examine financial claims each had with the Federal government. Now these claims had to be paid.The State Department was formed in 1789, and its main purpose was to deal with foreign nations. This involved establishing embassies and running, handling negotiations, and conducting foreign espionage. With France and all of Europe in an uproar in the wake of the French Revolution, and that continent on the brink of a major war, diplomacy was more important than ever to the United States. The required resulted in cost overruns to the State Department, which needed to be paid.The result of the need for funding for all of these crucial expenses was an omnibus bill rather understatedly called, “An Act making certain appropriations therein specified”.Printed document signed as Secretary of State, 2 pages, Philadelphia, PA, approved May 8, 1792, being the official notification to the states of funding for these matters of importance to the new Republic.”Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States, in Congress assembled, That there be granted and appropriated the following sums for the following purposes, to wit: To discharge a balance to the commissioners appointed under the Act of Congress of 15 March 1785, $2787.80; For additional salary to the first clerk of the commissioners for settling accounts between the United States and individual states, $187.91; For discharging the accounts of officers of the courts of the United States, jurors and witnesses, in aid of the fund heretofore appropriated, $17,000: For making good deficiencies in former appropriations for defraying the expense of the enumeration of the inhabitants of the United States, $4695.59. For discharging certain accounts against the Treasury Department, to the end of the year 1791, including a sum of $600 for furnishing the supervisors of the revenue with screw presses, seals, and other articles, $1955.61;…For additional compensations to the doorkeepers of the House of Representatives…$700; For the discharge of such demands against the United States, not otherwise provided for, as shall have been ascertained and admitted...and which are of a nature, according to the usage thereof, to require payment in specie, $5000. All which said sums, amounting together to $34,497.90, shall and may be paid out of the funds following, any, or all of them; namely, the surplusses which may remain of appropriations heretofore made, after satisfying the purposes of such appropriations; monies which have been paid into the Treasury, in consequence of balances which have been found due from individuals, relating to transactions prior to the present government of the United States; the surplus, not heretofore appropriated, of the duties on imports and tonnage, which accrued to the end of the year 1791.”The Act also authorized payment of expenses “which shall have been incurred in the execution of the act for raising and adding another regiment to the military establishment of the United States…” as well as any “expense which may be incurred in relation to the intercourse between the United States and foreign nations, to be paid out of any monies, which may be in the Treasury, not otherwise appropriated, and to be applied under the direction of the President of the United States who, if necessary, is authorized to borrow, on the credit of the United States, the said sum of $50,000, an account of the expenditure whereof as soon as may be, shall be laid before Congress.” The document is signed in type by President George Washington, House Speaker Jonathan Trumbull, and President pro tern of the Senate Richard Henry Lee.Beneath that is the legend, ""Deposited among the Rolls in the office of the Secretary of State,"" which is signed in ink by Thomas Jefferson, who held that position. Back then it was the responsibility of the Secretary of State to send official copies of acts of Congress to the governors of the states. This is one of those, and the first of this historic act that we have ever seen reach the market. Moreover, a search of public sale records going back 40 years fails to turn up any others.

Title: Large archive of American amateur press publications
Author: [National Amateur Press Association]; [United Amateur Press Association]; [American Amateur Press Association]
Seller: Burnside Rare Books, ABAA (United States)
Description: [Various places]: Various publishers, 1980. Approximately 850 individual issues of 340 different amateur press publications, spanning from the late 1920s to the 1970s. Includes over a hundred duplicate issues as well. Almost all publications were published in the United States, mainly in the '40s, '50s, and '60s. As is typical these were generally printed in very limited runs, sometimes of only a dozen or so copies. Near Fine overall, occasional light wear or staining. Full catalog of the archive's contents provided upon request. This archive consists of rare chapbooks, amateur journalism, joke books, printer's dummies, Christmas cards, and what would nowadays be referred to as zines. Their content is often secondary to their aesthetic dimensions and their relationship to other zines and the community of hobby printers of the time. Much of what they had to say was in their designs. While the origins of the amateur press movement date back to the late 19th century, this era of amateur publications traces the diffusion of printing technology in the era before photomechanical reproduction became widely used (and inflated limitations of zines), and also before the countercultural ethos became dominant in zine-making. With a few notable exceptions (such as the integration vs. segregation debate of the '50s and early '60s) most of these publications were not "political" in any way; the authors weren't concerned with striking an oppositional stance to the dominant culture of the time. Instead, their "square" subculture was centered around the art and craft of printing. Horror writer H.P. Lovecraft, the most famous luminary of the amateur press scene, casts a long shadow over the earliest publications herein, although none of his work is included. Some issues of The Tryout and one of The Silver Fern (both publications that first printed his poems and stories) are here, including one of the latter that mentions him as the Boston rep to NAPA. Other unusual items include Minur-Pruf, a zine printed on pink Kleenex, as well as an untitled zine printed in a spiral pattern. An unknown printer tried his or her hand at making colorful late 19th century-style sarsaparilla labels. Overall, the tone is light-hearted. This archive illuminates a vibrant American subculture in the mid 20th century that really can only be experienced as the extensive collection of physical items it is. In an era of ubiquitous intangibility and instant communication, these rare missives are a welcome reminder of something precious we may have nearly lost.

Description: 1976. Adams, Ansel. Photographs of the Southwest. 1976 volume presenting a selection of Ansel Adams' landscape photographs created between 1928 and 1968 across the American Southwest, inscribed and signed by the photographer. Adams emerged as one of the most influential figures in twentieth century American photography and environmental advocacy, widely recognized for large format black and white images that helped shape public appreciation of the natural landscapes of the western United States. The photographs reproduced in this work document regions of Arizona, California, Colorado, New Mexico, Utah, and Texas, capturing deserts, mountain ranges, architectural forms, and human settlement within the distinctive environmental geography of the Southwest. Adams' work played a significant role in shaping modern landscape photography while also contributing to broader cultural discussions about conservation and the visual identity of the American West. Adams, Ansel. Photographs of the Southwest. Boston: New York Graphic Society, 1976. Signed and inscribed by Ansel Adams on the dedication page, "To Al Davidson, a friend of artists and the arts, Ansel Adams, NY 11.8.76." Hardcover with dust jacket. Ownership marking on the front pastedown reading "Ex Libris From Your Friends at Deer Park High School."

During the mid twentieth century Adams became a central figure in American environmental photography through his association with the Group f 64 photographers and through his advocacy for the preservation of wilderness landscapes. His photographs of the American West circulated widely in books, exhibitions, and environmental campaigns and influenced public understanding of national parks and protected landscapes during a period of expanding conservation policy in the United States. Works such as Photographs of the Southwest demonstrate Adams' long engagement with the desert and plateau regions of the American Southwest and illustrate how photographic interpretation contributed to cultural and environmental perceptions of the region. Light wear to dust jacket with minor handling marks consistent with age. Overall condition very good.

Author: Reluctant Press; Transgender Fiction
Seller: Max Rambod Inc. (United States)
Description: 1989. [Transgender] Fantasies in Lace and Reluctant Press trans and cross-dressing erotica chapbook archive, catering to readers of transgender, transvestite, and cross-dressing fiction through mail-order distribution in the late 1980s and early 1990s. Mimeographed and illustrated with stylized fetish cover art, catering to a niche readership of gender-bending audiences. Such small press publications were vital during a period when mainstream publishers either pathologized or ignored gender-variant experiences. While marketed as erotica, the chapbooks in this archive occupy an important position within LGBTQ print history as DIY labels that created a space for readers and writers to explore stories of cross-dressing and trans-feminine fantasies. Four underground chapbooks issued between 1989 and 1991 by Fantasies in Lace and Reluctant Press, each in illustrated printed wrappers and focused on feminization, cross-dressing, transvestite identity, or gender transformation. The group includes three Fantasies in Lace titles from Fort Lauderdale and one Reluctant Press title from Alexandria, with publisher advertisements and distribution evidence preserved within the volumes. [1] Conners, Carla Christine. The Bound and Beautiful 1. Fort Lauderdale, FL: Fantasies in Lace, 1989. First part of a serialized feminization narrative issued by Fantasies in Lace, with stylized cover art, publisher pricing, and the Fort Lauderdale retail address at 3608 West Broward Boulevard. [2] Conners, Carla Christine. The Bound and Beautiful 2. Fort Lauderdale, FL: Fantasies in Lace, 1991. Continuation of the serialized narrative, issued in matching chapbook format with illustrated wrappers and publisher advertising. [3] Sex Change. Fort Lauderdale, FL: Fantasies in Lace, 1990. Gender-transformation fiction centered on transvestite and transsexual identity, retaining Fantasies in Lace publisher information and evidence of niche commercial distribution. [4] Nelson, Elizabeth Anne. Lady: Three TV Stories. Alexandria, VA: Reluctant Press, 1991. Fourth printing. Contains "Fairy Bride," "A Certain Image," and "Lady of the House," followed by a Reluctant Press solicitation for original manuscripts directed to cross-dressing fiction writers and readers. Light rubbing and handling wear to wrappers, with minor toning and edge wear consistent with inexpensive chapbook production. Overall good to very good condition. These issues exemplify the DIY publishing networks that sustained transvestite and cross-dressing communities before digital forums. A scarce survival of late 1980s to early 90s transgender erotica.

Description: 1906. First Edition. CHURCHILL, Winston. Lord Randolph Churchill. New York: Macmillan, 1906. Two volumes. Octavo, original burgundy cloth, top edges gilt, uncut. $1400.First American edition of Churchills distinguished biography of his father, with two photographic frontispiece portraits of Lord Randolph.""In My Early Life, Winston joked about his father's low opinion of him Beneath Winston's tremendous stature as a world leader, his belligerence, his confidence, there ran this dark, poignant thread, of a son working vainly to win his father's approval"" (Rubin, 106, 108). ""Outside Parliament, Churchill devoted much of his time during 1904 and 1905 to compiling a biography of Lord Randolph. He was motivated in part by a desire for an intimate knowledge of his father that had been denied him during Lord Randolph's lifetime When the book emerged in 1906, it was widely hailed as one of the best political biographies in English and its prose style is still greatly admired today Contemporary readers were struck by the frankness and openness of the account, contrasting favorably with the pious acts of homage served up as biography by other sons of famous fathers. It was, after all, a study in failure rather than success. The writing of the biography marked the point at which Churchill at last outgrew his father's memory"" (Grant, 47). Illustrated with numerous full-page plates and manuscript facsimiles. Issued simultaneously with the English edition. Dust jackets for the American edition are ""presumed but none known"" (Cohen A17.2). Publisher's four-page advertising leaflet laid in. Langworth, 68-72. See Woods A8(a). Bookplate.Interiors clean, spines gently toned. Near-fine in the original cloth.
