One of five pamphlets issued in 1753 as part of a dispute between two groups of grantees over the Kennebec watershed, about 6,000 square miles encompassing 15% of the present-day state of Maine.

New York: John Holt, 1774. 73 pages, disbound; lacks half-title, title page lightly stained, good overall. Robinson’s opposition to Lord North’s policies made this pamphlet popular among American radicals. First printed in London in 1774, it ap-peared in six American editions the same year. The author is best remembered as an eccentric who never cut his beard and bathed in the sea daily whatever the weather.

CHISHOLM v. GEORGIA, THE FIRST IMPORTANT US SUPREME COURT DECISION, 1793

Prices current of the survey of lumber, for ____. Place, Boston; date, 1805; and prices supplied in manuscript on first leaf; second leaf is the identical form left blank. Two separate leaves, string-sewn in plain blue wraps; light foxing, else very good. First page signed “Wm. Clouston[,] Clark.” Legislation passed by the Massachusetts Legislature in 1783 and amended in 1784 mandated that each town elect one or more surveyors to inspect and grade all incoming lumber. In the early nineteenth century, twenty served in Boston at any given time. Surveys were expensive and substantially increased the price of lumber. William Clouston (1760-1831) appears continually in Boston records as a sur-veyor of lumber from 1796 through 1825. From 1814 through 1828, he served as president of the Scots’ Charitable Society, the oldest charitable organization in the Western Hemisphere, founded 1657. He may be the William Clouston who married Elizabeth Franklin, the granddaughter of Benjamin Franklin’s cousin Samuel. After extensive searching on Google and OCLC, I am unable to locate any sort of reference to a lumber surveyor’s price list.

Columbia: Printed at the “South-Carolinian” Office, 1843. 21 pages, wraps; corner chipping, creased horizontally, good overall. Formal Southern opposition to Van Buren as the Democrat choice for 1844 got under way early, with this endorsement of Calhoun by his native state in May 1843. Georgia followed the following month. Southern opposition to Van Buren did prevail, but Calhoun’s own campaign failed to gain traction.

Lindo, Abraham Alexandre. A retrospect of the past. Cincinnati: Robinson & Jones, 1848. 49 pages, wraps; wraps chipped; text block in very good condi-tion; stamp of Leeser Library, Hebrew Education Society, on title page; stamp of Dropsie College on front wrap. A presentation of the Hebrew scriptures as the foundation of a complete intellectual and moral system, to which Christi-anity brings error and confusion. Born in Jamaica in 1775, Lindo adminis-tered his family’s sugar and coffee plantations and export business until he emi-grated to England about 1825. During 15 years in London and Jersey, he was active in the Jewish community, helping Morris Raphall to found the Hebrew Review in 1834. He returned to Jamaica, 1841-1845, and emigrated from there to Cincinnati, where he died in 1848. While in Cincinnati he published this pamphlet as well as a series of articles in Isaac Leeser’s Occident and American Jewish Advocate on the need to organize Judaism in America. His obituary in the Occident alludes to the controversial nature of his writing, “Whatever Mr. L.’s peculiar ideas may have been, no one can dispute his ardency of zeal; and glad should we be were there many more equally earnest for the cause.”

This is the only edition issued as a campaign flyer that included Lincoln’s corrections, as the Union gave him the opportunity to read and correct their transcript.

SIXTEEN REPUBLICAN CAMPAIGN PAMPHLETS IN GERMAN, 1860INCLUDING LINCOLN’S COOPER INSTITUTE SPEECH AND

E.B. WASHBURNE’S IMPORTANT CAMPAIGN BIOGRAPHY OF LINCOLN

A collection of speeches by Republican politicians between October 1858 and September 1860, all intended for distri-bution during the 1860 presidential campaign. Eight were printed in Washington, D.C., by Buell & Blanchard, printers to the Republican Congressional Committee, seven were issued by the German-language New-Yorker Demokrat, and one is from an unknown press, probably in New York. None has ever been bound in a collection; all are in very good condition; some have horizontal folds, presumably from mailing. All speeches were delivered in English.

•From Buell & Blanchard, either with their imprint or attributed to them on the basis of typography, appearance in their advertising, existence of identical copies with their imprint, etc. All unopened and untrimmed.

This tribute to Lincoln, delivered on the floor of the House, was one of the most influential biographies of the campaign, based in large part on Washburne’s twenty-year acquaintance with Lincoln.

•From the series of fliers (Flügblätter) issued by the New-Yorker Demokrat. All trimmed and thread-bound with a single stitch. Seven of the eight fliers published in the series. Some of these were also issued in German by Buell and Blanchard, sometimes the same translation, sometimes not.

Schurz, Carl. Douglas und Volks-Souveränität [Douglas and popular sovereignty]. Speech delivered January 4, 1860. 16 pages; single sheet, folded; unopened and untrimmed. A completely different edition from that of Buell & Blanchard (see above). This is 16 pages rather than 8, set in single col-umns rather than double, and subtitled “Rede von Carl Schurz” rather than “Rede des Carl Schurz.” OCLC locates a single copy matching this description, at the Brooklyn Historical Society, suggesting it may have been printed in New York.

Louisiana senator and future Confederate secretary of state Benjamin made this speech, in which he essentially calls Douglas a liar, a few weeks after the Charleston convention that failed to nominate a Democratic candidate. He thus fanned the flames that led to the dissolution of the Democratic Party in Baltimore the following month at the conventions that nominated Douglas as the Northern Democratic candidate and Breckinridge as the Southern. The Encyclopedia Judaica article on Benjamin describes him as “undoubtedly the most prominent nineteenth-century American Jew.”
