INTRODUCTION. 
 
 The late Benson J. Lossing, the distinguished American 
 historian, whose valuable library, consisting of rare books and 
 autographs, has been sold in the Anderson Galleries, was an 
 accomplished artist as well as a scholarly writer. It was his 
 custom to visit the scenes of important historical events and 
 make careful drawings, which were used to illustrate his his- 
 tories. This sale includes more than a thousand of these 
 drawings, historically accurate and well executed, and admi- 
 rably adapted for the extra-illustration of Mr. Lossing 's works 
 and American histories generally. More than 100 drawings 
 illustrate the Field Book of the Revolution, nearly 200 illus- 
 trate the Field Book of the War of 1812, 164 relate to the Civil 
 "War, 165 are the originals used to illustrate Mr. Lossing 's 
 admirable work on the Hudson River, and there are hundreds 
 of miscellaneous portraits and views. No other collection of 
 this character exists. Mr. Lossing wrote on the Revolution 
 at a time when soldiers in that struggle were living, and could 
 act as his guides on battlefields and give their personal recol- 
 lections of great events, and his accuracy as a writer and an 
 artist has never been questioned. 
 
 In addition to the drawings about 20,000 pages of Mr. 
 Lossing 's Original Manuscripts are also offered. Among these 
 are his Field Book of the Revolution, Cyclopedia of United 
 States History, History of New York City, Our Country, Mary 
 and Martha Washington, History of the State of New York, 
 Eminent Americans, and the American Centenary. These 
 works, which have long been standard, will continue to have a 
 permanent place in American historical literature, and the 
 original manuscripts are worthy of the most careful preser- 
 vation in public or private libraries. 
 
 Among the material consigned by various owners are two 
 original sepia drawings by F. O. C. Darley, highly finished 
 and beautiful pictures illustrating Indian life on the plains; 
 a book from Washington's library; very important historical 
 
letters by Silas Deane regarding a canal in the north ; interest- 
 ing Lincoln material, including several autographs; valuable 
 bibliographies; a collected set of the writings of Captain 
 Mahan in beautiful bindings; the act to incorporate the City 
 of Brooklyn, 1825; two Saur imprints; a complete set of the 
 Thomas Bray Publications; rare books on the Indians, in- 
 cluding Schoolcraft's monumental work and two copies of 
 McKenney and Hall's Indian Tribes with the colored plates; 
 the original Petition of American loyalists to George III; 
 scarce local histories, and a large number of books on the 
 history of the Par "West and the States of the Pacific Coast, 
 including among the many California items Anderson 's Hand- 
 book and Map of the Gold Regions. 
 
 Among the excessively rare items of Americana which are 
 of the highest interest to all collectors are the following: 
 
 The First Edition of Horsmanden's Negro Plot, New York: 
 1744 ; the first American Law Book — Abstract of the Lawes of 
 New England, London: 1641; William Smith's "Brief View" 
 and other books and pamphlets relating to Pennsylvania and 
 Ohio at the beginning of the old French War; five pamphlets 
 and leaflets regarding the organization and proceedings of the 
 Ohio Company which are practically unknown to bibliog- 
 raphers; an edition of the New England Primer (Phila- 
 delphia: 1773) which is also unrecorded; Van Der Donck's 
 Vertoogh Van Nieu-Neder-Land, 1650, a large and fine copy, 
 and the Original Autograph Map of the Braddock Expedi- 
 tion, drawn by Christopher Gist and signed by him, the only 
 known contemporary map, and an historical document of 
 very great importance.

 BRADDOCK'S EXPEDITION. 
 Original Autograph Map by Christopher Gist. 
 
 103. "THE ROUTE OF THE ARMY UNDER THE 
 COMMAND OF GEN. BRADDOCK TO THE PLACE OF 
 THEIR DEFEAT, LAID DOWN BY CHRISTOPHER 
 GIST." 
 
 Manuscript Map in the Autograph of Christopher Gist, 
 with this heading. Measures 13% x 11 inches ; marked with 
 compass points, scale of miles, a list of the camping points of 
 the army between Fort Cumberland and Fort Duquesne 
 [Pittsburg] , with the number of miles traversed between each 
 camp, and remarks by the compiler. The route of the army 
 across the rivers, mountains, and creeks shown in a red dotted 
 line, the camps by a cross. Gist's scouting reconnaissance to 
 Fort Duquesne is similarly marked. 
 
 A map of extraordinary interest, being the only known 
 
 CONTEMPORARY MAP OF THE ROUTE OF BRADDOCK'S EXPEDI- 
 TION, by one concerned in it, and who was personally ac- 
 quainted with the country traversed. So far as we are aware 
 the only other known map drawn by Gist is in the British 
 Museum, made for the Ohio Company and showing in a rough 
 and much reduced scale the country lying between the Alle- 
 ghany Mountains and the shores of Lake Erie. 
 
 Modern accounts of Braddock 's Expedition and . defeat are 
 based mainly on the Journal written by Capt. Orme for the 
 British Government, and with but few differences his narrative 
 agrees with the details shown in Gist's map. The divergences 
 are no doubt due to the fact that Orme, who was badly wounded 
 in the battle, wrote from recollection some time after his return 
 to England. The history of the expedition can now be re- 
 written in a more correct historical manner from this newly 
 found map of Gist's in connection with Orme 's narrative, and 
 the map of the expedition constructed from Orme's narrative 
 and published by the Pennsylvania Historical Society will now 
 be subject to revision. 
 
 The divergence of the two records begins at Halt No. 16, 
 "Lick" (or Salt Lick) Camp. Following Gist, the next two 
 halts are the 17th, marked "Camp 3 miles from the Lick," 
 and the 18th, ' ' Monaeatootha Camp, ' ' six' miles farther, thus 
 making a distance of nine miles between the two halts, No. 16 
 
 17 
 
and No. 18. Orme relates but one camp, " Monacatootha, " 
 after ' Salt Lick ' ' and the distance six miles. 
 
 According to the Pennsylvania Society's Map, "Monaca- 
 tootha Camp" was the extremity of the direct north advance, 
 the army turning there towards the west. Gist makes this limit 
 a camp two miles further north, the name of which is probably 
 Brush Creek. 
 
 The name of the 20th camp, never before given, (modern 
 narratives give but nineteen), is marked by Gist "Head Sugar 
 Creek," a distance of eight miles from the preceding camp. 
 
 Gist confirms other accounts in marking the burial place of 
 Gen. Braddock: "Camp 1 Mile west great Meadowes, hear 
 ye Gen'l Buri'd." 
 
 Orme mentions in his Journal that a captain and about 
 ninety volunteers left the army at Great Meadows, proceeding 
 directly to the Monongahela, where they destroyed French 
 boats and provisions, but fails to give the name. This omission 
 is supplied by Gist, in marking the route of the party. 
 
 "The red lines from No. 10 is Capt. Dooson's Route to the 
 mouth of the Bed Stone Creek to Destroy the French Barks 
 and Provisions and then joyn'd the Army at Gist's house, No. 
 11." 
 
 In addition to the value of this newly found map by Gist 
 as a record of the exact route of the expedition is its value in 
 giving local names apparently well known to Gist and the 
 pioneers of that region, but differing from those in Orme's 
 Journal. The following examples show the nomenclature as 
 given by Gist and by Sargent in his narrative based on Orme's 
 Journal : 
 
 Camp 1 
 Camp 2 
 Camp 5 
 
 Gist. 
 Grove Camp 
 Georges Creek 
 Laurel Run 
 
 Saegent. 
 Spendelow 
 Martin's Plantation 
 West side of the Little Cross- 
 ing 
 
 and there are other variations. 
 
 Christopher Gist, the author of the map, is well known as 
 one of the pioneers of the Ohio country and was employed by 
 the Ohio Company in 1750 and 1751 in exploring the terri- 
 tory. His Journals are the foundation for all historical ac- 
 counts of the trip to the Ohio country. He was "Washington's 
 guide on his famous mission to the French in 1753. With two 
 of his sons, Nathaniel and Thomas, he accompanied General 
 Braddock as scout and guide, and fought in the battle. After 
 Braddock 's defeat he raised a company of scouts in Virginia 
 and Maryland to prevent Indian forays on the border, being 
 then called Captain Gist. He died in the summer of 1759. 
 
 We can find no record of the sale of anything autographic 
 by Christopher Gist. 
 
 Br. Thomas L. Emmett, whose unrivalled collection of Ameri- 
 can autographic material is now in the New York Public Li- 
 brary, could secure only a receipt signed "Chris Gist." This 
 great pioneer, so little known and yet filling so important a part 
 in the early history of Pennsylvania and Ohio, was the ances- 
 tor of a long line of men who have filled many important posi- 
 tions in the country's history. 
 
 Gist is deserving of great fame for having been the mentor 
 and guide of Washington, who came under his tutelage when 
 he was only 23. Gist had great influence over Washington and 
 undoubtedly helped to shape the young patriot's career. 
 
 Washington Irving devotes a considerable part of volume 
 one of his ' ' Life of George Washington ' ' to Gist.

 Remarks, etc. 5 pp. folio, same date as preceding. 3 items. 
 
 All of the above documents are in the handwriting of Silas 
 Deane and together they form a very interesting chapter in 
 American history. Deane did valuable work for his country 
 during the Revolution, but he was charged by his enemies 
 with extravagance while in France, and his later years were 
 spent in England in poverty and unmerited disgrace. 
 
 In the documents described above he attempts to show the 
 importance of Lake Champlain, and advises the cutting of a 
 canal, with the object of dividing the interests of the Northern 
 States from those of the Southern so that "the Northern parts 
 of New England 4" of New York will become averse to a 
 rupture with Great Britain. Should the other States want 
 war, by the canal their supplies could be out off $ their trade 
 ruined. ' '

 Cross, formerly an attorney's clerk, who was convicted of 
 forgery, sentenced to be hanged, but after some time ob- 
 tained the favor of transportation; and did us the honour to 
 take up his residence in this province. ' ' Smith 's Brief View,

 wish is to strip the Quakers of their rights, and to "submit 
 them to the arbitrary will of their governors."

 One of the most important and complete works ever written • 
 on the aborigines of America, having been prepared under 
 the direction of the Bureau of Indian Affairs, and published, 
 by authority of Congress. The present copy is one of those 
 especially bound for presentation purposes, containing pres- 
 
 61 
 
entation inscriptions in each volume from the commissioner, or 
 acting commissioner of Indian affairs to Hon. J. S. Black, 
 whose name is stamped in gold on each volume. On the title- 
 page of Vol. 6 is a presentation inscription from Mr. Black to 
 Henry Clayton. Plate 4 of Vol. 4, while wanting, appears 
 never to have been bound in, an omission (in regard to some 
 plate or other) usual with this work.

 The First Edition, of geeat kaeitt. Half-title, title, 2 
 leaves and 15 pages. Evans and "Wegelin do not mention the

 poetry. 
 
 Nathaniel Tucker, the author of this poem, was born in 
 Bermuda, 1750. He was the son of Colonel Henry Tucker 
 and Anne Butterfleld of Virginia and Carolina I fame. The 
 author in his preface addressed to Henry Tucker (Governor 
 of Bermuda) says, "I am in some measure indebted for its 
 plan to Dr. Goldsmith's Deserted Village .... As it is an 
 American production I flatter myself with some expectation 
 of partiality from the Western World. ' ' The production itself 
 falls little short of a parody on Goldsmith's poem. It con- 
 tains a prefatory sonnet, "To the author," by S. Henley, 
 Prof, in the College at Williamsburg.

 charts. New edition with corrections. 6 vols. 8vo, newly 
 bound in half crushed brown morocco, gilt tops, uncut, by 
 Riviere. Lond. 1801 
 
 The most important work relating to the history and geog- 
 raphy of the northwest coast of America. Vancouver sailed 
 along this coast and visited Nootka Sound and Port St. Fran- 
 cisco, New Albion, Straits of De Fuca, entered the Columbia 
 River, and made a complete survey of the shores of northwest 
 America. 
 
 Although Vancouver lost the opportunity of recording him- 
 self as a discoverer of the Columbia River, the merit of which 
 falls to the American, Capt. Grey, he was the first to inform 
 the public of the peculiarities of some of the Indian tribes 
 inhabiting the shores of the North Pacific.

 472. VIRGINIA. Manuscript volume of Verse and Prose, 
 containing about 60 written pages. In a folio blank-book,

 The last poem is particularly interesting as it contains a 
 reference to Bermuda's winds, and apparently was written on 
 a voyage to "Virginia. It ends: 
 
 "Beware 4" Tceepe the shoare, then since you may 
 Go in by Land to yo'r Virginia." 
 
 This unpublished poem is a. welcome addition to the scanty
