Description:
[Paris: Felix Malteste, 1849].. 15,[1]pp. Modern half calf and marbled boards, spine gilt. Light, intermittent soiling. Very good. The first issue of Étienne Cabet's periodical ICARIE, dated March 15, 1849, a compendium of letters and journal entries providing news of the Icarian utopian settlements in America to French and European audiences. This is an important and exceptionally scarce resource for a firsthand view of the difficulties settling in America that were faced by followers of the French politician, journalist and author, Étienne Cabet, whose theories for creating a communist utopia they sought to put into practice. The Icarian communal society "was the quixotic hope of Frenchman Étienne Cabet, who visualized a community with a controlled economy based on democratic decision rather than dictatorship. Cabet, a utopian socialist, contended that men suffered misfortune in society only because society was poorly organized, that inequality could be abolished only through common ownership of…

Description:
Three Rivers [Trois-Rivières], Québec: G. Stobbs, 1838.. 24pp. 12mo. Original blue paper wrappers. Spine perished, wrappers nearly detached. Moderate tanning, occasional foxing. Good plus. A rare account of a grisly incident in the fur trade in Northwestern Canada, in which Baptiste Cadien, a half Indian serving as an interpreter for the Hudson's Bay Company at Fort Norman, murdered half a dozen Hare Indians, and wounded several others in 1835. The crime took place in what is now Alberta province, somewhere north of modern-day Edmonton, not far from the Lesser Slave Lake. Cadien was accompanied by two other men, Creole Lagrisse, who participated in the murders once they began, and Baptiste Jourdain, upon whose testimony Cadien was convicted. Several sensationalized contemporary account of the killings asserted a romantic motivation for the killings, by which Cadien sought revenge for losing a paramour back to her husband of another tribe. Jourdain's testimony printed here suggests animosity between…

Original dark red cloth, spine gilt, front board gilt-ruled with gilt-stamped publisher's logo, t.e.g. Spine lightly faded. Interior clean and bright; text block warped along bottom edge. Very good. Lakeside Press edition of two 17th century memoirs, both dedicated to describing the indigenous peoples of North America. This is number forty-five in the Lakeside Classics series. Cadillac, the key figure in the founding of Detroit in 1701, attempts to draw a comprehensive picture of the tribes living in the Great Lakes and upper Mississippi Valley regions. Liette's memoirs focus specifically on the Illinois Indians, and were first published in English in Volume XXIII of the Illinois Historical Collections as "Memoir of De Gannes Concerning the Illinois Country," due to the copyist (De Gannes)'s signature at the end of the original manuscript. This is the first publication of Liette's…

Description:
Lima: Plazuela de San Christoval, por Juan Joseph Gonzalez de Cossio, 1752. [46],279,[1]pp. Numerous errors in pagination. Small quarto. Contemporary vellum, lettered on spine; recased, with new endpapers. Lower corner of rear cover repaired. Minor toning to a few leaves. Near fine. First American edition of this work by the Spanish Jesuit, Calatayud, containing theological advice for priests. The work was first published in separate editions in Pamplona and Valencia in 1736. This Lima edition includes a preface by Pedro Antonio, Archbishop of Lima, outlining the reasons for reprinting the text, and reprints the original dedication and various approvals from the earlier editions. The work consists of six discourses intended to guide priests in their ministerial works. More a philosophical work than a practical guide, Calatayud explores the moral and religious obligations which priests have to those they serve and to themselves. The sixth discourse is addressed to bishops and prelates, and the final…

Description:
[N.p., but likely Madrid, N.d., but ca. 1601].. [2],24pp. Folio. Dbd. Dampstained and soiled, top and bottom edges worn. Worm holes throughout, affecting a few words on each page. Contemporary underlining and marginal lines throughout, contemporary handwritten folio numbers on each recto. Still a good copy. In a half morocco and cloth box. An extremely rare treatise which considers the question of whether rebellious Indians in Chile should become slaves. Addressed to the Viceroy and Audiencia of Peru, the work discusses whether slavery of conquered Indians is just or not, reviewing arguments on both sides of the question. Calderón approaches the problem in an intriguing manner by providing separate justifications, each in its own individual section of the text, for enslaving the Indians from the various points of view of the King, the Kingdom, and the Church. In turn, the author then provides responses to these various assertions, promoting the view that such slavery would be unjust. The last pages…

Later bookplate on front and rear pastedowns. Very good. Lacks the errata. An engaging biography of Gen. Nathanael Greene, with descriptions of many of the major battles of the Revolution, in which Greene played a significant role.

The Appendix includes the text of Gen. Greene's letter to Congress resigning as…

Archival matting, and protected with mylar sheet. Variant issue, without priority, of this delightful early view of Sacramento, showing the city inland from the river, complete with bustling streets and wharf. On the river are two ships flying American flags, one steamer, a ship flying the flag of Chile, and smaller boats. A large stack of lumber sits near the edge of the river, demonstrating the rapid growth of Sacramento in the early years of the Gold Rush. One large building facing the water is adorned with an elephant across the upper portion of its facade. The elephant figured prominently in the gold rush mythos. Those who said they "saw the elephant" meant that they had been there and seen the big show (as in "went to the circus and saw the elephant"). Thus, an early example of California billboard advertising. The print was most…

Camp Nusseerabad, India., 1859-1860.. [121]pp. of manuscript text, about 15,500 total words. Original three-quarter calf and marbled boards. Boards edgeworn and lightly rubbed. Internally quite clean, neat, and legible. Very good. An interesting unpublished manuscript, this is a novel in the form of an autobiography, purportedly written by an American-born soldier in the British Army stationed in India in the late 1850s and early 1860s. The author describes his youth and early adulthood, culminating with an account of his adventures hunting grizzlies in Gold Rush-era California. The chapter on Grizzly hunting in California, called "Westward Ho," is copied (with a few small adaptations) from an article that appeared in the November 1857 issue of HARPER'S NEW MONTHLY MAGAZINE, called "The Grizzly Bear of California." The remainder of the text develops several themes over the course of the work, including the author's strained relationship with his wealthy father, his youthful disillusionment with a…
