Description
New Orleans, 1797. Three pages of a bifolium, 8 x 9 ½ inches, New Orleans; May 31, 1797. Fair only, with moisture damage and some text illegible. Fair. An interesting document from the period following the Treaty of San Lorenzo and before the eventual surrender of Natchez to the Americans in 1798, in which the governor of Louisiana and West Florida, Francisco Luis Hector de Carondelet, issues a statement regarding the delayed withdrawal of Spanish troops from the region. Carondelet is concerned with the British presence in the area, and notes that it is a violation of “the treaty concluded with Spain,” - or Pinckney’s Treaty, which opened up navigation rights of the Mississippi to the United States. The letter describes the possibility of escalating hostilities between the United States, Great Britain and Spain as a result of an impending American mission against the Illinois, the motives of which Carondelet questions as he notes that “These hostile dispositions can naturally only concern these provinces, because the U.S. are in peace with all the savages…” He raises the possibility of British invasion of Louisiana, and potential danger to the city of New Orleans, and states that the Spanish will maintain their presence at Natchez and Walnut Hills unless the American soldiers withdraw. This is a copy of Carondelet’s speech in the hand of Lieutenant Piercy Smith Pope, and we find no other record of it. A full transcription follows: “The Government being informed by his Majesty’s Ambassador to the U.S., that an expedition assembled on the lakes was intended to attack the Illinois, has judged necessary for the surety and tranquility of Lower Louisiana, to suspend the evacuation of the posts of Natchez & the Walnut Hills, being the posts that cover it; the possession of which, will put the English in a situation to disturb and ravage the country, in case they rendered themselves masters of upper Louisiana, with so much more facility, as by an article of the treaty, concluded, posteriously, with Great Britain, the U.S. acknowledge that the English may freely navigate and frequent the posts belonging to the said States; situated on the river in general, lakes &c being a manifest contradiction to the treaty concluded with Spain, which it appears...... because by this the U.S. acknowledge that no other nation can navigate upon the Mississippi, without the consent of Spain. ...... the legitimacy of these motives, the ....presented to the Congress of the U.S., with all the necessary veracity, and intimated by our orders in the Commissary of Limits, as well as to the Commandant of the Detachment of American troops now at Natchez. We are now informed that a detachment of the army of the U.S., cantoned on the Ohio, are on their way by Holstein towards Natchez, while the Militia of Cumberland, are intimated to hold themselves ready to march at the first notice. These hostile dispositions can naturally only concern these provinces, because the U.S. are in peace with all the savages, the anterior menaces of the Commissary of Limits, & the Commandant of the detachment of Americans now at Natchez; the immediate rupture (& if the American Gazettes are to be believed) already effected between France, our intimate ally and the U.S. engage us to be on our guard to defend our property with that valor & energy which the inhabitants of these Provinces have manifested on all occasions, with the advantage and superiority which a knowledge of our local situation will procure, and that confidence which right and justice inspires. If the Congress of the U.S. had no hostile intention against these provinces, they will either leave the post of Natchez or Walnut Hills, the only bulwarks of Lower Louisiana that can stop the courses of the English, or that they give us security against the article of the Treaty with Great Britain, which exposes lower Louisiana to be pillaged and destroyed down to the Capitol. We will then deliver up the said posts and lay down our arms which they have forced us to take up by arming their Militia in time of peace and sending a considerable body of troops by round about ways to surprise us. New Orleans, 31st May, 1797 A copy of the Baron de Carondelet’s Proclamation. P. Pope” Overall a document of significance in United States / Spanish relations in the period following Pinckney’s Treaty, worthy of further study for scholars of the diplomatic history of the period.

Description
Chicago: Geo. F. Cram, 1885. Good plus.. Large folding pamphlet, approximately 20 x 41.5 inches. A few small chips and short closed tears at edges; several short separations and very minor losses along folds. Contemporary agent's ink stamp on cover panel. Tape repair across portion of horizontal fold; one panel with patches of light staining. A scarce, colorful promotional for the Rock Island Route, as well as its national and international connections, with a fascinating stamp of an Australian sales agent. One side of the sheet prints an extensive promotional text and timetables for the various routes and services of the Chicago, Rock Island, & Pacific Railway. The main side of the sheet prints a map of the United States, with state borders shaded in four colors, highlighting the principal routes of the Rock Island from Chicago to Minnesota, Iowa, and Kansas, and its connections to points on both the East and West Coasts. An inset map at lower right promotes the Rock Island as part of a transcontinental route between the United Kingdom, Ireland, and Australia. Most interestingly, this copy is stamped on the cover panel with the information of a George. H. Hibbard, "Australian Passenger Agent, America's Cons'd Trans-continental Railways, 6 Bridge Street, Sydney, N.S.W." Hibbard was evidently the agent in charge of distributing information about the trans-America route in Sydney, one of its end points. Several issues of this map were published during the 1880s, all scarce. We locate copies of the present 1885 issue at Stanford, SMU, and the Library of Congress.

Description
(New York), 1845. Folio.  300 x 215 mm., [12 x 8 ½ inches]; image size 140 x 108 mm., [5 ½ x 4 ¼ inches]. Wood engraving by Lossing & Barritt after a design by Samuel Wallin. Paper stock foxed, image clean and well executed.  Jesse Read was a Brooklyn Alderman and a founder of the Order of United Americans, a nativist group that organized mechanics and laborers against Catholics and immigrants in general.  The Order was established in 1844 and by the 1850's many of its organizing tactics were used by the Know Nothings which became a national political party before the Civil War.  The portrait of Read was drawn by Samuel Wallin who was the principle artist working with Benjamin Lossing and his company Lossing & Barritt.  Wallin did thousands of portraits and sketches for Lossing and other New York publishers engaged in producing illustrated histories and biographies of American interest.  He signed his work with a very decorative "S W".  Accompanying the portrait of Reed is printed certificate for life-time membership in the New York Bible Society.  It reads in part, "This is to Certify That [in ms., Jesse Read] by virtue of [a contribution of Fifteen Dollars] made by [himself] is a Life Member of the New York Bible Society. New York [Nov. 5th, 1841]. [Signed: Alfred Edwards] Pres. [Saml B. Schieffelin] Treas. Attest [Jno. ?]. Text in full, surmounted by a 4" X 6" oval cut depicting a biblical scene. With integral blank leaf. Some spotty foxing. [New York: 1841].  Hamilton, Early American Book Illustrators and Wood Engravers, I. pp. 169-171, 215; II pp. 110, 143. .
