Description:
Washington DC: C. Alexander, 1852.. may18. ix, 72 pp. This is a fascinating report, as the Navy tries to figure out if dehydrated peas, beans, carrots, turnips, potatoes, etc. would be useful. The experiments were based on processes developed in Europe. They found "Edwards' 'Preserved Potato' as positively bad... Of Masson's vegetables we found the cabbage, carrots and green peas, of good quality... Gannal's vegetables... proved good in our hands... Lewis' 'Preserved Potato' we found good, though not so beautiful a preparation as that of Gannal." Contrary to the reports, trials at sea of Edwards' potatoes were successful. However, I don't believe dehydrated foods were widely used in the military until WW II. Worn half calf over marbled boards. Text clean and fresh, with some contemporary manuscript notes.

Description:
Washington: Robert Armstrong, 1872. This is a scarce first edition of the first, and still the best, source for the history of American fisheries. Prepared for the Treasury Department, Sabine's work presents detailed histories of the various fisheries along with a great deal of statistical information. Canadian fisheries are included, as are the whale fisheries, with text of Jeffersons 1791 message on the cod and whale fisheries reprinted. A classic text, hard to find in its original configuration, as this one is. Bound in original blind-stamped government cloth. Some wear to corners and front joint. Spine ends tidily chipped away.. 22.5 cm. 272 pp.
