1620 Buxtorf HEBREW Aramaic & Latin Bible Dictionary Lexicon Judaica Pentateuch
A rare 17th-century Hebrew / Latin lexicon and Old Testament concordance.

Johann Buxtorf began working on a Hebrew lexicon in the early years of the 17th-century. However, this work was one of the few works of his that had to be completed by other writers, mainly his son. This dictionary, known as 'Thesaurus Grammaticus Linguae', was published multiple times throughout the next two centuries and would become the basis for many 19th-century Hebrew concordances. This work serves as a reference tool for Old Testament research particularly the Pentateuch. Very few copies of this book are known to exist, especially those from the early 17th-century.

Description:
1843 True 1st INDIAN Tribes Lang & Taylor Report on Cherokee Native Americans
John Lang and Samuel Taylor were 19th-century American explorers who are remembered for their time spent with Native American Indians. Wagner-Camp's notes on this expedition:
"Lang and Taylor were members of the Society of Friends who visited the Indians recently removed from east of the Mississippi to the trans-Mississippi regions. Their report was presented to the Yearly Meeting of the Friends of New England and New York before being published under the above title . They visited the Winnebagoes, Shawnees, Kickapoos, Delawares, Kansas, Osages, Cherokees, and Choctaws, between August and December 1842"
This report is unquestionably one of the best and most authentic accounts of first-hand observations of the Cherokee and other notable American Indian tribes.
Graff notes that this New York edition came before the Providence edition of the same year. A true first printing!

1680 Sir Francis Bacon English ESSAYS Political Philosophy Law Good Evil Clark

"Some books should be tasted, some devoured, but only a few should be chewed and digested thoroughly."
― Francis Bacon

Francis Bacon was one of the most famous English philosophers and scientists of the Renaissance. While most of his work deals with discovery, scientific method, and the scientific revolution, he did lean strongly toward Puritanism in his personal devotion.

'The Essays' of Bacon was a collection of personal theories covering a wide variety of topics dealing with human emotion such as death, revenge, parenting, marriage vs single life, love and envy, atheism vs religion, nobility, wealth and riches, gardening, social factions, anger, and many more. 'The Essays' was the origin to many well-known proverbs and aphorisms such as:
"If the Hill will not come to Mahomet, Mahomet will go to the hill". ('Of Boldness')
This 1680 edition of 'The Essays' contains 58 essays as well as Bacon's works:

1640 History of Holy War CRUSADES Jerusalem ISLAM Ottoman Turks Thomas Fuller

Thomas Fuller was a 17th-century English historian who particularly notable for his historical accounts of English worthies and the Church of England. In 1639, Fuller wrote 'History of the Holy War' – a popular book on the Crusades, taken from several notable and accurate accounts. It is curious though, Fuller wrote this work with an incredible amount of wit and humor, so much so that he included stories unrelated to the Crusades just to fill pages! According to Tyerman,
"Thomas Fuller's 'History of the Holy Warre is one of the more interesting histories of the crusades written by an Englishman."
While several works concerning the Crusades were written and published over the 17th- and 18th-centuries, Thomas Fuller's was the first Anglican view of the Crusades and the first in English following the Reformation. Modern Crusades scholars such as Christopher Howse describe Fuller's account as a mocking of the Crusades and the… Read More

1817 Voyages of Tavernier PERSIA Tonkin Vietnam Constantinople Atlas MAP of ASIA
In the first part of the 19th-century, stories and tales of famous voyages were popular throughout the western world – tales of Captain Cook, Columbus, African voyages, and the East India Company occupied readers from all over. Perhaps the best source of these accounts was 'Bibliotheque Portative des Voyages' – an enormous collection of voyage and exploration accounts.
This atlas tome from the 1817 first edition contains views of the voyages of Jean-Baptiste Tavernier, an important 17th-century voyager to Persia and India. This tome describes Tavernier's time in Constantinople and Tonkin (Vietnam), noting the customs, costumes, and traditions of the people.
It should be mentioned that his volume contains 23 impressive illustrations including a full map of Asia, city view of Constantinople, a portrait of Tavernier, Tonkin funeral processions, and even an engraving of a venomous King cobra!

"An Expedition to the Valley of the Great Salt Lake of Utah" is a comprehensive report by Howard Stansbury detailing his two-year survey expedition of the Great Salt Lake in Utah, starting in 1849. Ordered by Fort Leavenworth, Kansas, the mission was to evaluate emigration trails, scout possible locations for a transcontinental railroad, and study the region's geography, natural history, and mineral composition. Despite initial challenges, Stansbury's team made significant explorations and collected extensive scientific data, even discovering a more direct route through the Rocky Mountains. The expedition also described the Mormon community's domestic relations. The report emphasized the region's hidden agricultural and mineral wealth, suggesting its potential for future development.

Folded into the form of a letter, the work was letterpress printed in wraps of handmade "combat paper" made from military uniforms. The author says: "Some time ago-maybe a year, maybe two? I had a conversation with some of my Combat Paper brothers (well, the kids call them their combat paper uncles, so it follows…) that led to me writing the poem "Quartering." Which was informed by them, of course, and by all the rooms I'm in, and by imagining what is really required of all the caregivers I love. It's a thought experiment: if we tore down the barracks at military hospitals and offered incentives for Americans in the surrounding neighborhoods to quarter injured service members, what would the honest instructions… Read More
