All the Books described are in stock, and our object is firstly to catalogue them for sale, and secondly by carefully giving the titles in full with accurate collations and occasional descriptive, his- torical, geographical, and biographical notes, to form at the same time a useful bibliographical work of reference. Owing to the expense and labour attending the publica- tion of such a catalogue, we feel we cannot afford to distribute the work gratuitously, and Librarians and Collectors are therefore invited to aid us in our work by becoming subscribers. It is estimated that the full titles and collations of the books now in stock, some ten or twelve thousand, will fill about eight volumes. The work will be pushed on as rapidly as circumstances will permit, and it is hoped sufficient encouragement will be given to warrant the expense and labour of carrying it on to the end without curtailment. Each volume will contain about 400 pages and will be supplied either in paper covered parts of from 64 to 96 pages each, or in cloth bound volumes as subscribers may elect. The parts will be issued to subscribers as fast as ready at the rate of 103 6.d or $2.50 per volume post free, payable a volume in advance, or the bound volumes may be had at the same rate of 10s 6d or $2.50 payable on the completion of each volume. No gratuitous copies whatsoever can be supplied, but Librarians or others who will send us five subscribers shall have a sixth copy free, and all subscribers purchasing to an amount exceeding 45 from any one volume of the Catalogue, will on their request be allowed the subscription price of that volume. A few copies of the First Series, two volumes 1862, are still on hand, price 30s bound in cloth, but subscribers to the New Series can have the option of taking them at the same subscription price of 218 or $5 post free. An order form for subscription is annexed.

INTRODUCTION §§ºl HE ALPH A BET IS A Éxºll democratic Institution where- in are assigned rooms appro- priate for occupants of every degree with acknowledged rights and rank no one ever dreams of questioning. There are no favorites, no upper ten and no lower orders. Here only, in all the wide world, high and low, rich and poor, early and late, stand shoulder to shoulder without loss of dignity or gain of humility. All dwell together on the high-level of perfect freedom and equality. There is never a scramble for places, worldly honors or prece- dence. Though limited to xxvi heads of families, their signatures are practically a round-robin with no limit to the increase or diminution of subscribers. Hence a complete record of today is never a perfect one for to- In 101"l'OW. In like manner Alphabetical Bibliography is a Demo- cracy, a kind of Asylum for authors and books, where all names are recorded on the round-robin principle under certain acknowledged rules which give to none leadership or undue prominence. Of making books, we are told, there is no end; and therefore it follows that a Catalogue of them is never complete. Indeed the Census of our books, by the con- Vi & Introduction census of mankind, is based on the immutable laws of the alphabet, not to be gainsaid. . The question of position and ready reference being settled, the difficulty of perfect registration arises. What is bibliography? and what is perfect cataloguing 2 The painter who omits an eye or a nose of an author is at once judged to have produced a defective portrait, but the cataloguer who abridges the title or face of a book and thereby produces a defective likeness, too often es- capes judgment on the ground that perfect accuracy in this art is unattainable or unnecessary. We own to having once, a long time ago, had a pride of accuracy in cataloguing, but we now confess that our experience during the past half century has well nigh taken it out of us. We have never seen a perfect Catalogue. No de- partment or class of literature is full, and no descriptions of the books in them are without imperfections. Still, we have in our day done our share of cataloguing, and are not yet disposed to go to the wall, without another trial, though some who criticise our labors “woulde seeme to knowe so much as no men more.” We are still sustained by a lingering pride not to be outdone in American Bibliography by others, notwithstanding our faults in other departments, believing that wholesome vanity in our new method is better than the ordinary dulness of the old system of cataloguing by our prede- cessors and contemporaries. With these shortcomings and discouragements con- fessed, and an approval of our method assumed, we ven- ture to ask the patient public, at its own expense, to in- dulge us in one more attempt to gratify our surviving love of accuracy and fulness in scientific bibliography, in this department, but without any pretensions to a com- plete registration of all the books relating to America. Our present collection of books relating to the history and literature of North and South America, accumulated during the last forty years while assisting in the formation of several of the largest and best libraries of this kind on both sides the Atlantic, will be found particularly rich in Introduction vii historical and political works recorded here for the first time as Americana. To such in many instances we have appended brief notes. - In 1857 volumes I & II of our “Nuggets’ were printed, though not published until 1862, comprising 805 pages and describing 2934 works. Encouraged by the appreciation still accorded to that Catalogue we now pro- pose to continue it in a similar and uniform-style, but with Some important improvements, in a new Alphabet of about twelve thousand titles, numbering the whole on to about 15000, in a New Series of eight volumes more, vols 1 to VIII, or with the old series vols III to x. The improvements will consist chiefly in historical, geogra- phical and bibliographical notes, based on our expe- rience and studies. Books now in stock but already fully recorded in the First Series are here entered briefly with references to the N* of the full titles, in some cases with corrected or varying collations and additional Notes. As to prices we feel we are within the present market value. It is interesting however to compare these current prices with those in the First Series a quarter of a century ago. This new venture of eight volumes is to be taken as a sale Catalogue of our present stock in trade, arranged in a single alphabet, and elevated into Bibliography by full titles, elaborate accurate collations, descriptions, careful printing and abundant annotations. No books not ac- tually in stock and for sale will be included but the titles of those sold during the progress of the cataloguing and printing will remain for bibliographical purposes. A Note of those sold will accompany each part. These “Nuggets’ therefore are not a selection of works relating to America but rather a collection of them actually in hand for sale at the net price given to each. As the making of a Catalogue of this kind consumes much time, and the printing of it much money, neither of which can we well afford to contribute to a posterity who has done so little for us; and as the Catalogue will have answered its immediate ends when the books described are sold and viii Introduction dispersed, we propose to ask our disinterested friends who desire to possess it to be so good as to subscribe for it and so help us through a great work that is issued rather for the benefit of others than ourselves. If then collectors, librarians and others interested in American bibliography are disposed to encourage a luxury of this kind, of which the following pages are a sample, they are offered the opportunity of doing so on the terms men- tioned in the accompanying Prospectus, being assured that our days of manufacturing bibliography gratis are passed. A word as to the condition and binding of our books. All works are to be considered to be in good condition and perfect unless otherwise stated. The larger propor- tion of them have been recently appropriately and taste- fully bound, as a general rule somewhat according to their value, at a cost from a shilling to ten pounds a volume. We have not studied any great variety or preciseness in the description of our cheap bindings, the words “half morocco' being by custom an indefinite description. A pamphlet priced at four or five shillings, and described as in ‘half morocco uncut’ is probably bound in half imi- tation morocco, with full lettering all along the back, suf- ficiently good for any public or most private libraries. No uncut book has been trimmed or cut down. Hence if desired it may be rebound at any time in a more costly manner. Our extra bindings in morocco or calf are generally the best that can be done, and exhibit a very great variety of styles and patterns. HENRY STEvens of Vermont HENRY NEwton STEvens.

Benavente y Sócios. 16 pp. signed, half mor. uncut 4° (7s 6d 2935) This document, addressed to the Constituent Assembly of the Mexican Empire, appeals chiefly to the Nation. It cautions them against the numberless wild schemes, daily propagated by ingenious political inventors, for promoting their happi- mess, and exhorts the people to simply uphold that august Assembly in their patriotic endeavours to consolidate the cause of liberty and concord in the Empire. Finally, it beseeches Iturbide and Guerrero, “the first heroes of Mexi- can Independence,” not to forsalke them in their struggle for liberty and union. A LA NACION Mexicana. [Signed J. M. C.] Mexico: 1822. Imprenta de D. J. M. Benavente y Sócios. 8 pages half morocco uncut 40 (5s 6d 2936) A calſ, in form of a Petition, on the Mexican Nation (addressed throughout as “Your Majesty”) to shake off the yoke of Ferdinand VII and the tyranny of the Spaniards, the irre- concilable enemies of Mexican Independence. The Mexicans having by the Treaty of Iguala, reserved to themselves the right of choosing their form of government, in case Spain should not send them an Emperor as covenanted by the Treaty of Cordova, and Spain having failed to do so, the day has now come for the Mexicans to break for ever the chains of their slavery, the day of true liberty. “What pledges of love had Ferdinand VII ever given the Mexican nation, the man who has bestowed titles, pensions and bishoprics on their oppressors, laid waste their fields, dis- honoured their dead, killed their liberators, plundered their churches, etc. etc.?” The contract had been broken by their implacable enemy, Ferdinand VII, and become nil and void.

The writer of the pamphlet asks: “Will the treaties be made in good faith, or after the fashion of the Spanish Government? Can anything be ad- vantageous to Mexico, without being disadvantageous to Spain P What do we care for the approval or opposition of Spain, our old stepmother?

With the exception of the ‘Table des Choses’ the collations of the two editions are identical. The engraved title is the same in both, but the set up of the types entirely different through- out, although as far as the end of the text on folio 395, almost page for page and line for line. No difference is discernible in the plates, all the seven appearing in the same positions as in the foregoing edition, although in L. Maissonneuve's Biblio- theca Americana, 1878, a copy is described as having only five plates. In the text the following errors occur in the numeration which will serve to distinguish the two editions : Folio 173 is printed 174, 250 is 248,253 is 241, 277 is 265, 309 is 351, 342 is 142, 345 is 245, 356 is 256, 362 is 392, 375 is 344, and folio 395 is properly numbered. It has not yet been determined which is the earlier edition. The R. P. Claude d’Abbeville, whose family name was Silvére, together with three other Capucin Fathers, Yves d’Evreux, Arsène de Paris and Ambroise d’Amiens, accompanied the expedition commanded by Sieurs De Rasilly and De La Ravardiere to Brazil in 1612, where France was endeavouring to found a settlement. The first news of the Mission is con- tained in a tract of 16 pp. published at Lyons in 1613, with the following title and collation taken from Maissonneuve's Bibliotheca Americana, 1867: “L'arrivee des Peres Capvcins en l'Inde Nouvelle, appellee Maraguon, Auec la reception que leur ont faict les Sau- uages de ce pays, et la conuersion d'iceux à nostre Saincte Foy. Declaree par vine lettre que le R. P. Clavde D’Abbe- ville predicateur capugin enuoye ā Frere Martial, pareil- lement capugin, et à M. Foullon ses freres. A Lyon, par Gwichard Pailly, 1613.” 16 pages 80. The letter of P. Claude d'Abbeville occupies the first 11 pages, and is dated En haste De Maraguon, au Bresil ce. 20. iour d’Aoust 1612.” y Pages 12-15 contain a ‘Sommaire relation de quelques autres choses plus particulieres qui ont este dictes de bouche aux frères capucins par Monsieur de Manoir’; pp. 15-16 ‘Lettres Dibliotheca Americana qve les peres Capucins ont escrit ā Monsieur Fermanet de Rouen,” signed “Frere Claude d’Abbeville, Frere Arsene de Paris’ and dated “Le l’isle de Maraguon ce 20 Aoust, 1612.” This tract was translated into German, and printed the same year at Augsburg. The following is the title and collation taken from the copy in the British Museum :— Die Ankunfftſ der Vätter Capuciner Ora/ dens, in die newe Indien/Maragnon genannt./ Auch wie ſie von den wilden/ Leuten in ſelbigen Landen empfane/gen worden, ſampt ihrer Bekehrungſ zu vnſerm H.

In 1615 was published a continuation of P. Claude's narrative, with the following title and collation, taken from the sale catalogue of the library of Dr. J. Court, Paris, May 1884, which describes an imperfect copy:— Svite deſ l’Histoire/ des Choses plvs/ Merorables aduenués en Maragnan, ês) annees 1613 et/ 1614./ Second traité./ A Paris./.

Folio 242 is a title to the second part of the volume. Two plates on copper engraved by Firens represent “Wrais portraicts des sauuagie de lisle de Maragnon appellez Topinambous amenez au Roy de France par le Sr. de Razilly en 1613.” This imperfect copy, together with a copy of Claude d’Abbe- ville's ‘Histoire,” produced the high price of 1600 francs. The only other recorded copyis in the Bibliothèque Impériale, Paris. Mr Ferdinand Denis, the learned “Conservateur de la Bibliothèque Sainte-Geneviève,” reprinted at Paris in 1864 the work of P. Yves d'Evreux, taken from the then unique , copy in the Bibl. Imp. The title is:— “Voyage dans le Nord du Brésil, fait durant les années 1611 et 1614.

He first laid his scheme before the public in 1716, after having spent some time in the country, “at great expense of money and time.’ Four years later he provided an office with Herman Moll's large map, and issued this prospectus for forming a company with a capital of iſ 2,000,000, ‘for a Company to form a Settlement on one of theſe Navigable Rivers of Acadia,” for carrying on an exten- sive trade in fish, and the various commodities of the country to be exported to Europe, and to carry on trade with the various colonies of New England. Mr Marsh enters largely into detail, exhibiting a scheme of some attractions, based on his geographical information and the natural resources of America. But his financial arrangements were his weak points. “As New Hampshire, Massachusetts-Bay, Connec- ticut and Rhode Island, did circulate Paper Money in 1702, from an eighteen penny Bill to a £5. Bill,’ he proposed to do the same, and issue “Bills of Settlement to the extent of iſ 500,000,’ ‘‘these Paper Bills to be renewed as often as worn out.” The settlement was not established. ACADIA.

Calf extra by Pratt. 80 (11 11s 6d 2973) This volume surpasses all others for valuable historical, geo- graphical and bibliographical information respecting Nova Scotia or Acadia and part of Canada. The two maps on the same scale show clearly what is claimed by both parties, French and ºgº, They cover the whole territory south of the Gulf of St Lawrence, east of Lake Champlain, and north of Massachusetts, and include all the disputed tracts and grants of the English and French governments. The French map shows the English limits claimed in 1750 and 1751; limits of Acadia and Port Royal by the Treaty of Utrecht; limits of Nova Scotia as granted to Sir Wm. Alex- ander, 1621; Cromwell's grant to La Tour, Crown and Temple in 1656; the country restored to France by the Treaty of Breda; the government of Denys in 1654, Charnesay’s in 1638, and La Tour's in 1638. The English map delineates Nova Scotia as claimed by the English by the Treaty of Utrecht, 1713; as granted to Sir Wm. Alexander, 1621; ac- cording to Champlain, 1603–1629; with the country west to the Penobscot; Acadia as granted by Louis XIII and XIV, 1632-1710; enlarged to the Kennebeck by further grant to Stirling, 1635; Acadia i. according to the tripartite division named by Charlevoix; Charnesay’s and La Tour's governments in 1638; Cromwell's grant to La Tour, Crown, and Temple in 1656; Acadia claimed by France at the Treaty of Breda, 1667; Norembega, between the Penobscot and Kennebeck; and the Etechemin's coast according to Cham- plain and Denys. The text well illustrates and explains these two maps. This copy is quite perfect, but Sheet I (pp. 57-64) is missing in most copies, and is generally supplied by a duplicate of some other sheet.

Acosta is justly counted one of the fathers of American history, the only one down to his time who has left us an anthropo- logical and philosophical history of the New World. He de- scribes minutely the inhabitants, their manners and customs, and at the same time gives a vivid account of the natural re- sources and productions of the various countries. Joseph de Acosta was born at Medina del Campo in 1539; was educa— ted at Salamanca ; became professor of theology at Ocana: joined the Jesuits, and at the age of 31 in 1571 went out to Peru, where in the Jesuit Missions he became the Second Provincial of his Order, residing mostly at Los Reyes or Lima. His signature is found attached to the licences of the first books printed in Peru by Ricardo at Los Reyes in 1584-1586. Having visited, as appears by his writings, Panama, Central America, Mexico, Cuba, St Domingo, and other places he returned to Spain in 1587, having been absent about seven- teen years. At first he was occupied in an official visitation of his order in the provinces of Aragon and Andalucia, and subsequently visited Rome in behalf of the spiritual welfare of the Indians of the New World. He had already while in Peru written in Latin prior to 1584 two distinct works, the one in two books on the climate, temperature and inhabitants and their origin; and the other in six books entitled De Pro- curanda Indoruń. Salute. These two works, paged on, but with separate titles, were first printed at Salamanca in 1588 by Foquel, the latter at the expense of the Library of the Society of Jesus. The first title is dated 1589. This latter work, though sometimes catalogued as a separate publication, does not appear to have been printed separately. This cir- cumstance has led bibliographers into many errors. The truth is that as a work of philosophical history the first three Latin editions of the De Natura are unimportant when compared with the original Spanish editions, and the several translations from the Spanish into Italian, Dutch, French, German, and English. The De Procuranda does not appear to have ever been translated out of the ecclesiastical Latin, and the five other books were never written by Acosta in Latin. He however at the time translated and somewhat Bibliotheca Americana, I7 altered, with an author's privilege, the first ten books from Latin into Spanish, adding books 3 and 4 on the Elements and Natural Mixtures, as minerals, plants, animals, etc.; and books five, six, and seven relative to what he could dis- cover of the Indians themselves, their ceremonies, customs, government, and wars. These later books are mostly from personal observation, some materials being also compiled, but with a philosophic and skilful hand. Acosta subsequently became rector of the old University of Sala- manca and died in February, 1600. He was esteemed a writer of eminence, but is now chiefly known by his Natural and Moral History of the New World. This work at once achieved great popularity, having been translated into the chief languages of Europe and passed rapidly through many editions. The work is divided into seven Books, and each book into many chapters. The first four books are devoted to America generally and especially to Peru, while the last three books refer more particularly to Mexico. The original edition in Latin was published at Salamanca in 1589 in small 80. Two other edition in Latin were printed, the one in Sala- manca in 1595, and the other at Cologne in 1596. [See No 3000.] The author himself as stated translated his work into Spanish, the original edition of which appeared at Seville in 1590 [See No 27], followed rapidly by other Spanish editions, the 2d at Barcelona in 1591, the 3d at Seville in 1591, the 4th and 5th at Madrid in 1608 [See No 30] and 1610, while the 6th and last edition, revised, with memoir of Acosta, came out at Ma- drid in 2 vols small 40 in 1792 [See No 3007]. The work was translated into French by Regnault, and editions appeared in 1597, 1598, 1600, [See No 3003], 1606, 1616, 1617, 1619, and 1621. A sole edition in Italian was published at Venice in 1596, [See No 28], and a translation into English by E. G. [Edward Grimston] was entered at Stationers’ Hall by Ed- ward Blunt, the 4th of January 1601, but was not published till 1604 [See Nos 29 and 3004]. A translation into Dutch was made by the celebrated traveller Linschoten and pub- lished in 1598 (though licensed as early as 1594). [See No 3002.] A second edition appeared in 40 in 1624, the title pages varying with the names of three different publishers. [See Nos 3005-6.] In German there were no less than five or six editions, and perhaps more than one translation, viz. at Cologne in 1598, 1599, and 1600: and at Ursel in 1605 and Frankfurt in 1617. Besides all these editions and transla- tions the entire work appeared in German in De Bry's Ame- rica, Part IX, as translated by Johann Humberger of Wette- rave, from Linschoten's Dutch Version, and edited with some additional Dutch Voyages by Gothard Arthus of Dantzig. The preface of De Bry’s German version is dated the 1st of April, 1601, and contains the whole work in the seven Books, chapter for chapter, filling pages 1 to 327. Acosta's name does not appear, but the German translator accredits the work to the Dutch translator Linschoten. It next appears in De Bry's Latin America, preface dated 23 March, 1602, Part IX, filling pages 1 to 362, without any name of author, translator or editor; simply appearing as if picarooned from some unknown source. Both of De Bry’s versions however (2d Series Vol I) C (24 Apl'85) 18 Bibliotheca Americana contain the whole seven books of Acosta divided into the same number of chapters as the original Spanish edition of the au- thor. De Bry has been j altering the work, but the fact is his Latin version of books 3 to 7 appears for the first time. He was driven to this because Acosta himself had left no Latin version of these five books. For the German ver- sion he was quite safe in following the honest translation from Linschoten. Of De Bry's plates the first four refer to Acosta's Peru, and plates 5 to 14 to his account of Mexico, all likewise picarooned from some source without naming the author or artist. With all these antecedents the work of Acosta is worthy of a well-edited and indexed edition in Eng- lish, that the coming student of advanced historical research may have AcOSTA undefiled.

Stockdale, MDCCLXxxiv. 89 pages and Stockdale's Catalogue 11 pages, half 7770)'OCC0 80 (10s 6d 3035) This valuable and outspoken book is positively ascribed to John Adams. It was published by his friend and regular London publisher shortly before he went to London as the United States Minister near George III. This is strong evidence as to its authorship. The book however has been more recently ascribed to the authors of Now ANGLUS and MASSACEIUSETTENSIS, that is, John Adams and Daniel 26 I3ibliotheca Americana, Leonard. The aim of the author is to show the history of the various schemes of the ‘ Junto’ in Boston and the Min- istry in London to raise a revenue in America by authority of Parliament, 1764-1774. Among other statements, it is written on page 4 that Dr Franklin, being in Boston in 1754, Governor Shirley communicated to him the profound secret,_the great design of taxing the Colonies by Act of Parliament Dr Franklin, to his lasting honour, sent the Governor an answer in writing, with the following remarks upon his scheme.” Then follows Franklin's Answer, filling nearly four pages, upon which this author says: “Whether the Ministry at home, or the Junto here, were discouraged by those masterly remarks, or by any other cause, the pro- ject of taxing the Colonies was laid aside; Mr. Shirley was removed from his government, and Mr. Pownall was placed in his stead.” Pownall not long after, on the machinations of the Junto, composed of Hutchinson, Oliver and their kind, asked to be recalled, and Bernard was promoted to Boston, and became the head of the royal Junto. The real substance of the work now begins,—a history of the ten years’ strife, 1764–1774, between the men of Massachusetts and the Ministry in London, primed by their active tools in Boston designated as the Junto. The services of Franklin as agent in London of the House of Representatives are named and appreciated. The book may well go among our FRANKLINIANA.

A few leaves slightly defective 89 (12s 6d 3043) These important letters, 63 in number, first appeared in the JBoston Patriot between the 9th of May, 1809, and the 8th of Feb. 1810, and were collected and issued in this octavo form by the Publishers of that paper, in ten Numbers or Parts. They purport to contain a history of the “negotiations, con- ducted principally by himself [Mr Adams], which termi- nated in the Acknowledgment of our Independence by Great Britain and the other leading powers of Europe,” but really of a bogus project set on foot by the Courts of Russia and Austria through Vergennes to mediate between Great Britain and the rebel Colonies. After Mr Adams’ letters to Ver- gennes the project seems to have been quashed. Mr Adams was of opinion that neither Franklin nor Jay knew anything about this great secret, but it is believed that Franklin in con- cert with Vergennes was fully apprised of the whole affair, and was trying to test the powers and opinions of the new pleni- potentiary from the States to the several powers of Europe outside of France. This attempt had nothing to do with the real negotiations begun by Oswald on the part of Great Britain with France and the Commissioners Franklin, Adams, and Jay. The greater part of these 63 letters is made up of contemporary letters written in 1780-82. All this defence is from the Adams point of view, vindicating his own life and character prior to his Administration as the Second President of the United States. The volume also contains the Ex-President’s defence of his Administration against the charges of Alexander Hamilton. It is seldom that the whole ten parts are found complete. ADAMS (John).

This criticism of the Professor of Rhetoric and Senator in Congress for Massachusetts is rich, racy, and severe, both as to his language and his politics. But the real historical value now of the production lies in the discussion of the facts, principles, opinions, and details of the then approaching war of 1812, such as the neutral rights, right of search, free ships and free goods, the Berlin and Milan Decrees, the Chesapeake, &c.

Wait and Co. 1809. 50 pages half morocco uncut 80 (5s 6d 3059) FISHER AMES, of Massachusetts, died in 1808, and in the following year some of his friends, partly for the benefit of his family, which had been leſt ill-provided for, collected and published his Works in one volume. There soon after appeared in the Boston Patriot, it is believed, several articles containing a severe criticism of the efforts of the friends of the deceased statesman, orator, and politician, as well as of the character and achievements of Ames himself. These articles came out anonymously in pamphlet form under the title “American Principles; a review of the works of Fisher Ames,’ and soon after were attributed to the pen of the Pro- fessor of Rhetoric in Harvard College, John Q. Adams. The Professor was appointed American Minister to Russia, and within a fortnight after he sailed David Everett, the editor of the Patriot, acknowledged that Mr Adams was the author of the offensive review, and made it a subject of praise. Mr John Lowell, of Boston, was the author of these Remarks, which are as severe as political rancour and party prejudice could make them. ADAMS (John QUINCY). An Address delivered.

Half title, title & 60 pp. half mor. 80 (7s 6d 3106) With the autograph of Bartholomew Kneeland, publisher of Boston, on the title-page, and in the same hand ‘By Sir John Dalrymple.' ... On the top of the last page is the autograph of ‘John Holbrook Junr from W. Kneeland.” Sir John Dal- rymple, 1726-1810, was a Baron of the Scotch Exchequer and a writer of some repute, with a fluent but muddy and vendible pen. “An honest fellow,” said Dr Johnson, “for he tells equally what makes against both sides. But nothing can be poorer than his mode of writing. It is the mere bouncing of a school-boy.’ The Monthly Review at the time intimated that the Address was written, printed, and distributed in America at the public expense, “where the greatest part of a large impression has been sent apparently to co-operate with a late conciliatory resolution of the House of Commons.” If this be true, it is a remarkable instance of the frailty of royal and ministerial judgment, because the affectation of paternal tenderness for the Americans, the pro- digal assumptions of British superiority and home authority over the distant Colonies, the misguided statements and misapplied information, were all calculated to arouse the resentment of the Americans rather than appease their growing animosity. The platitudes of fatherly advice based on paternal ignorance and homespun infatuation are amusing when read in the light of history. The author speaks first on the project of warlike opposition of the Colonies, and says (p. 3), ‘No people situated as you are, can hope for success in war, unless they are possessed of four things before they engage in it : viz. fortified towns, a disciplined 40 Bibliotheca Americana, army, a navy, and a great annual revenue. You have none of these, while we have them all. Do you trust to foreign aids P Will, the despotism of France establish a new empire of Liberty?” Indeed the whole book, written to order, is like many other things ‘made to sell.” The declaratory and vindictive acts of parliament, the petitions and complaints of the Colonies, and all the facts on both sides, are a jumble of plausible but indiscreet political wire-pulling. The Colo- nists were Englishmen who carried over the water English rights and liberties, and felt themselves able to enjoy and willing to defend them on the new soil. History tells how they did it, while this book tells how they couldn’t do it. A copy without the autographs 5s 6d. ADDRESS (THE) of the People of Great-Britain to the Inhabitants of America.

The pre- tended dominion of Spain in the Seas of America by right of the Papal donation of 1493, and the corruptions and dodges of the Ministry are severely handled. The book is a neces- sity in a collection of historical materials relating to the pros- perous British man-trade in Negroes for America. ADDRESS (THE) to the Great Man: with Advice to the Public. London: J. Robinson, 1758. 54 pages, half morocco 80 (10s 6d 3114) The Great Man was, of course, WILLIAM PITT, afterwards 42 Bibliotheca Americana, Earl of Chatham, who after having been some nine years paymaster-general of the Army resigned that post in 1755, at the beginning of the Old French War in America, and was made for the second time Secretary of State and virtual Prime Minister the 30th June, 1757. Meanwhile everything had gone wrong, and the enemy were gaining ground. The Minorca business and the official murder of Byng ; the appointment of Braddock, who, ‘ tho’ no Coward, as ill. qualified for his Employment as any in the Service: brought up on the powdered Parade of St. James, and used to Wind- sor-Marches and Palace Guards, he was little instructed how to deal with the viewless Savage; ' his defeat; the not be- stowing rank on the Colonial Forces; the failures of the other Expeditions of 1755, 1756, and the plans of 1757; the new method of prosecuting the American War; the disper- sion of the Acadians; the several military disgraces, to be imputed to national corruption ; the failures of Johnson, Shirley, Loudon, Amherst and Abercrombie, all are inci- dentally alluded to in this important tract. The task of the tried, honest and great man is to arouse and purify the Public Spirit. Pitt did this by a renovation of Martial Virtue and Public Spirit, at the same time employing and rewarding Genius. Wolfe under the appointment and instruc- tion of the Great Man settled the business. ADDRESS (AN) to the Independent Citizens of Massa- chusetts, on the subject of the approaching Election.

Title and Motto from Montesquieu, 2 leaves, the reverse of each blank, and 52 pages, soiled copy and somewhat wormed, half morocco 7tmCut 80 (10s 6d 3117) This sad tale of Quaker persecution in Philadelphia in August and September, 1777, just after the receipt of the news that the British Army had landed in Maryland and was making for that city, is hardly surpassed in halting justice hy any- thing that occurred in New England the previous century. On the recommendation of Congress, 28 Aug. to secure all persons suspected of being inimical to the cause of America, Bibliotheca Americana 43 the Council of Philadelphia on the 31st, resolved that such dangerous persons as the following eleven prominent citizens, viz. Joshua Fisher, Abel James, James, John and Israel Pemberton, Henry Drinker, Samuel Pleasant, Thomas Whar- ton, Sr Thomas and Samuel Fisher (sons of Joshua) and John James should be secured, together with 30 others named, and locked up “in some convenient place, under a guard, with which the Town Major, Colonel Nico a, will supply you.” Then follows a list of 25 citizens, good men and true (of whom William Bradford was the first and Thomas Bradford the last named) who were appointed to make the arrests. Certain persons whose names in the lists were marked f were to be permitted to remain in their own dwelling-houses on giving written promises to keep within their doors and ‘refrain from doing anything injurious to the United Free States of North America, by speaking, writing, or otherwise, and from giving intelligence to the Commander-in-Chief of the British forces, or any other person whatever, concerning public affairs." Of course the accused declined to promise, and declared their innocence, and demanded to know of what they were accused, and to have a trial before the Congress or the Council. They were all with others locked up in the Free-Masons' Lodge, where they remonstrated most forcibly to both the Congress and the Council, with no other effect than that their imprisonment was to be changed to banishment to Stanton, in the West part of Virginia. On further remonstrance and protest, but without charge or trial, they were to take the usual oath of allegiance or sign the following, “I do swear (or affirm) that I will be faithful, and bear true allegiance to the Common- wealth of Pennsylvania, as a Free and Independent State.” They declined to take this oath without trial. “You have first deprived us of our liberty, on one pretence, which find- ing you are not able to justify, you wave, and require as a condition of our enlargement that we should confess our selves men of suspicious character.” Banishment was again decreed by the Council.

Debrett (Suc- ceſſor to Mr. Almon). 1782. - 43 pages half morocco 40 (21s 31.18) This sarcastically witty and gossiping revelation of the work- ings of the ‘Interior Cabinet’ from the peace of Aix-la- Chapelle to the end of the American War is both amus- ing and instructive. This ‘Interior Cabinet’ was the wheel within the wheel during all that time, and Charles Jenkinson (1727–1808), afterwards Earl of Liverpool, is . pictured as the chief wire-puller. It was this Cabinet that reduced the British Empire according to act of parliament, by lopping off the American Colonies. The book goes on to tell how this was done. “Mr. Jenkinson was the first in- strument in this efficient business. He gained his informa- tion of the Colonies from a certain naval officer, who came from Boston, because he could not stay there : and whom he afterwards made a consul abroad; partly for reward, and 44 Bibliotheca Americana, partly to send him out of the way. From this man's mali- cious and false representation of the people of America, the Interior Cabinet received their first impressions, and formed their first ideas, of that distant, but great and invaluable country. From the same source, Mr. Jenkinson drew his Regulations; which became the rubric of the Cabinet; and laid the foundation of the ruin of the Empire.’ The state- ments of facts, and the suggestions or hints as to influence of this Interior Cabinet, must be qualified by the experience and discretion of the historian, but no doubt this book here- after will be sought as an important Nugget of American history.

[17401] Half-title, title & 50 pp. half mor. 80 (7s 6d 3119) A defence of the Ministry against the complaints of the Mer- chants that the governinent is doing nothing for trade and navigation in America and the West Indies, but rather truckling to, instead of going to war with Spain. The writer ' points out how Admiral Hosier has been ordered to watch and intercept the Flotilla from Vera Cruz, the Galleons from Cartagena, Porto Bello, or the Havanna, and if too late, to follow them to the Coasts of Spain and capture them or even the Guarda Costas. He refers also to the orders given to Vice-Admiral Hopson, Sir John Jennings and Sir Charles Wager and others to take, sink, burn or otherwise destroy the King of Spain's sh ps. The writer also refers to the £60,000 compromise with Spain, as well as the £95,000 settlement, together with the Assiento Contract and the dealings of the South Sea Company in its important business of supplying negroes not only to our own Colonies but to Spain. All this business of such national importance is surely better than going to war with Spain for the benefit of a few greedy merchants of Great Britain. See ASSIENTo.

This is supported by the long letter of Col.

Half-title, title, “A Letter' etc. concerning the Indian War, 3 pp ; text 47 pp. half mor. 80 (2l. 2s. 3126) The author of this anonymous and exceedingly valuable pam- phlet is believed to be Dr BENJAMIN FRANKLIN. It bears strong internal marks of his intelligence, vigour and love of truth and fairness. Besides, he was of the time, place and circumstance, and was probably the only man who was capable of writing it, or furnishing the materials. This copy has a few explanatory manuscript contemporary notes, of considerable importance, especially the initials B. F. at the end. It has however been attributed to Joseph Galloway, who was a member of the Pennsylvania Assembly in 1764, and was at that time and subsequently a friend of Franklin. It is possible that they both had a hand in the good work. The letter from Philadelphia was dated Aug. 22, and ap- peared in the Londom Chronicle, No 1223, for Oct. 20-23, l'764. Dr Francis Alison, D.D. Presbyterian Minister of the first Church, was at that time vice-provost and professor of moral philosophy in the College of Philadelphia. John Ewing was another Presbyterian D.D. and pastor of the same Church, and professor and vice-provost of same College. The looseness of their facts was equalled only by their disregard of moral philosophy in narrating anything about the Quakers of Pennsylvania on such insufficient evidence.

It gives instructions and advice, in a seriously comical vein, to the officers of the Army, from the Commander in Chief to the Drum Major, under all cir- cumstances that they are likely to encounter. The work is divided into sixteen chapters, each rank being advised sepa- rately. For instance, Chapter ll is devoted to advice “To Young Officers,’ pp. 72-85. Here is a sample: “When on leave of absence, never come back to your time; as that might cause people to think, that you had no where to stay, or that your friends were tired of you.” ADVICE to the Officers of the British Army: With the Addition of ſome Hints to the Drummer and Pri- vate Soldier.

But the chief addition is a copper plate frontispiece entitled ‘Veluti in Speculum,’ a Satyr holding a Mirror before a crowd of officers, with outline delineations of America and Port St. Philip on the wall. The last note of advice to the private soldier is: “You may be sure that, go into what quarters you will, the landlord will heartily wish you out of them. You should therefore make it a point to give him good cause for it; as it is hard a man should be hated and despised without reason.” ADVICE etc. The tenth edition.

To this last one item of advice is, “ Turn a deaf ear to every proposal towards improvements in the occonomy and distribution of the troops; for it is hard to tell when the work of reformation is once begun, whither it will tend to, or where it will stop:” etc. The frontispiece Bibliotheca Americana, 49 is the same as that of the 6th edition.

In Chapter VII, in which the author discusses whether or not the land south of the Equator extends to the Southern Pole, and is inhabited, George Tanstetter Collimitius, the editor, adds a marginal note on the recto of D, to the effect that Vespucci had sailed as far south as 500, and finding land inhabited, so described it. These geographical notions of the learned Albertus Magnus, written in the thirteenth century, were edited by George Tannstetter, at Vienna, at the suggestion of Wadianus, in 1513. In Chapter VII Albertus states his belief that the fourth part of the globe is inhabited south of the tropic of Capricorn, and that northerners may in the winter pass thither, whereas the men of that remote region do not come to us. He questions the possibility of man passing beyond the equator on account of the great heat of the equatorial regions. To this the editor, George Tanstetter, adds this marginal note, settling all doubts:—“ Ecce cocludit vltra equinoćtialé. 50. gradibus terrã eå habitabilé, quâ VESPU- TIUS ſuperioribus annis I ſuis nauigationib’īueit & deſcripfit.” A learned bibliographer has recently stated on the authority of a more learned one, that this side note in this or a previous edition ‘seems to have been inserted with movable type.” The same may be said of the whole book, for the note was manifestly printed at the same time with the text in both this and the previous edition.

Fine, large and clean copy in best gros grained m0!'OCCO €2 tra, 80 (12l 12s 3193 This book has been sometimes called ‘ ETHAN ALLEN's BIBLE,” or the ‘Vermont Bible,” and has always been spoken of with great contempt, as something quite too awfully wicked to be read or preserved. But the truth, on perusal, seems to be, that it is really a very harmless work, neither learned nor stupid. It is not of the Tom Paine order of demolition, nor is it a work, as has often been charged, in direct opposition to the Christian Religion any more than the Unitarian writings of Dr Channing or Theodore Parker. It was not expected by the ‘Sacred Order of Men’ in 1784 that any good 62 IBibliotheca Americana, could come out of Bennington, or anywhere else in New JEngland save Harvard or Yale. As but few copies of the Oracles ever saw the light, it follows that but few readers ever had the opportunity to form a correct judgment of the contents of the book. Old Ethan in this achievement as at Ticonderoga was out at Sunrise, perhaps too early ſor Cam- bridge or Connecticut, but the times have long since over- taken and distanced him. The book is not a godless, impious or immoral one, as is generally supposed, but is a sort of rough up-country platform for infant Unitarianism, if that sliding ecclesiastical doctrine admits of any platform. Pro- duced now by any Brain Club of Boston, with a little city polish, it would soon find its level as a bit of innocent pedan- try, or strong-minded religious assertion. The subject of the Oracles was at the time somewhat new, and coming forth after Edwards on the Will and other New England inspired books, to say nothing of its having been printed up in the woods of Vermont at Bennington, where John Stark reversed Burgoyne's Baum, and bearing, as author, the well-known name of the recognized leader of the Green Mountain Boys not yet admitted into the Union, though nearly ten years after the capture of Ticonderoga on the authority of the Great Jehovah and the Continental Congress, the book naturally drew attention, and was unfortunately as well as unjustly condemned at once, without benefit of clergy. Still it must ever be regarded by collectors of the curious as one of the most remarkable of American Books, everything con- sidered. Ethan Allen was a rough diamond, a man of immense energy and noble impulses; vain of his achievements and mental powers, but of little early, education. Yet among all his aspirations and high aims his ambition of literary eminence took the lead. He was the author of several political tracts and Vermont books, all of which are good, free, strong, sen- sible and convincing ; in their day answering all their aims, for they were patriotic and inspired by the author's love of his Green Mountain home and his Boys. But the Oracles, his Magnum Opus, is said to have been suggested by a certain roving Englishman named Thomas Young, a man of some scholarship and a good friend of Vermont, who in some way helped Allen to the matter, partly from plagiarism from Blount's Oracles of Reason, and partly from Young's own Original Sin. Allen worked the book up and became respon- sible to Haswell and Russell of Bennington for printing it. It fell dead from the press, partly it is said because of a fire in the pºin; office, but more likely because there were no purchasers. It however survived long enongh to receive a bad name. It was lampooned by the country newspapers and parsons of the time especially in the western parts of Massachusetts and Connecticut. Allen does not appear to have been very well defined in his . opinions. He believed in God, one and indivisible, and did not go in for the Trinity. He acknowledged the authenticity of the Old Scrip- tures and part of the New, and believed in a future state of rewards and punishments. He went in for the freedom of the will and thought, but denied Original Sin and Election. All these notions can with considerable pains be evolved Bibliotheca Americana 63 from his Oracles or ‘Bible,” but it is difficult sometimes to define what he is driving at. However, great antipathy was very early raised against the book, and Allen is said, as long as he lived, to have had it thrust back into his teeth, especially by the clergy. Many anecdotes, squibs and jibes are repeated to this day respecting him and his book, one of which is, that on being recognized in the church of the cele- brated preacher Hutchinson of Woodstock, the parson gave out the following for singing: “Let all the heathen writers join To form one perfect book; But Lord, when once compared with thine, How mean their writings look.” Allen had two brothers, almost as rough, ingenuous and enter- prising as himself. They three were sometimes profanely styled after the Oracles were out, the ‘Vermont trinity of devils.” One was Ira Allen the first Secretary of State, the first surveyor-general and the first historian of Vermont; and the third brother was Levi. My notebook contains the following cutting from an old Boston newspaper: * Old Ethan once said with significant nod, Though I hold not with Jesus I know there’s a God: There’s a devil also : you’l see him some day, In a whirlwind of fire take Levi away. There General you're wrong, quoth Ira, I sware, For Levi's too strong for the Prince of the air; And if ever you see them engage in a fray, *Tis Levi will carry the devil away. Faith, replied Levi, you're very severe, And seem much inclined to banter and jeer; Though over the globe my name stands enrol’d For tricks of all sorts, sly, ingenious and bold, Yet I’ve one consolation, that none can deny, There's one greater rogue in Vermont than I. Who's that? they both cried with equal surprise, 'Tis Ira, by gee, I yield him the prize. Old Ethan is dead, Honor wept o'er his bier; Though ragged his soul, yet his heart was sincere: Where's Levi and Ira? and how do they fare? That's the Devil’s look out, and his greatest care.” In the fall of 1775 General Allen was taken prisoner at Mon- treal and sent to England. He was handcuffed and fettered and otherwise harshly treated on his passage, but he showed Iroquois indifference to all cruelty and malice, provoking his keepers by his strength, determination and courage. In Pendennis Castle near Falmouth he used to astonish the natives by breaking down ten-penny nails in his teeth. After a time spent in England, Halifax and New York as prisoner, he became quite tame, and in doing good to his fellow prisoners elicited the admiration and friendship of all who knew him. Exchanged for Col. Campbell in May 1778 he returned to the Green Mountains, where he was cordially welcomed. Though he went no more into the Continental Army, yet with the countenance of Washington he, with other Green 64 IBibliotheca, Americana Mountain Boys, played a most important part in staying and keeping back the British forces under Carleton and Haldi- man, who threatened incursions upon New York through Vermont. This story is not yet so fully written as the Carl- ton papers in the Royal Institution, and the Haldiman papers in the British Museum will enable the future biographer of Allen to write. Some day, therefore, Ethan Allen's sun may be expected to rise again, but nothing will ever dispel the jolly lampoons and pasquinades that are in print respecting him and his Oracles. Among these the following extrava- gant one by Dr Lemuel Hopkins of Hartford is perhaps the best. It is from the collection of American Poems published at Litchfield Con. in 1793 (see No 3277), and is given here entire: * Lo Allen 'scaped from British jails, His tushes broke by biting mails, Appears in hyperborean skies, To tell the world the bible lies. See him on green hills north afar, Glow like a self-emkindled star, Prepared (with mob-collecting club Black from the forge of Belzebub, And grim with metaphysic scowl, - With quill just pluck'd from wing of owl) As rage or reason rise or sink To shed his blood, or shed his ink. Behold inspired from Vermont dens, The seer of Antichrist descends, To feed new mobs with Hell-born manna In Gentile lands of Susquehanna: And teach the Pennsylvania quaker High blasphemies against his maker. Behold him move ye staunch divines : His tall head bristling through the pines; All front he seems like wall of brass, And brays tremendous as an ass; One hand is clench'd to batter noses, While t'other scrawls 'gainst Paul and Moses.’ ALLEN'S (ETIIAN) Narrative of the Capture of Ticon- deroga, His Captivity and Treatment by the British.

After a prolonged discussion, they both agree that no work of consequence had been accomplished, the Censurer of the Chambers quoting a remark of Montesquieu, on the following occasion. A dispute having arisen as to whether certain names of landed property should be spelled with a C or K, the matter was referred to the University of France, which, after years of contention, could come to no decision. “The University,” remarked Montesquieu, “has been quib- bling 900 years, and is still dreaming.” ALWAREZ (FRANCIsco DE PAULA).

Alvarez, informing him that he had received, among his official papers, a letter, addressed by him to General Itur- bide, and intended for “the Emperor,” which he had opened, and informed his Majesty of its contents, who received it as the strong man receives the insults of the feeble, pitying his fury, which is sheer delirium. His Majesty wished to reply, but he (Alvarez) thought it beneath the dignity of the Chief Magistrate and an affront to the Nation, over which he rules, to do so, and asked and obtained permission to answer, which he now does. Alvarez then proceeds to review Santana's whole political career, and charges him, in the most abusive language, with almost every military and political crime a man can be guilty of; calls him a low, selfish, vain and igno- rant intriguer; an ignoramus, so devoid of all education, that he, most probably, did not understand the letter, written by another for, and signed, by him ; a traitor, perjurer, thief, etc. etc. Alvarez offers not only to prove every one of his accusations, but to supplement them with others, on the same condition.

The censurer of those words denounces them as impious and scandalous, opposed to the irrefragable evidence of the Scriptures of the efficacy of prayer, which alone is sufficient to give the victory to armies. To affirm that the bravery of the Spanish Army, and not the prayers of the Clergy, saved Spain and Ferdi- nand from the power of Napoleon, is blasphemy which the Constitution condemns and against which the Board of Cen- sure is bound to protect the Liberty of the Press, constantly disgraced by abuse of this kind.

The present volume is in four parts, viz. 1, “An Address to the Gentlemen of the Provinces of America,’ pp. 5-35, on the rights of the people and of the King or guardian of their rights. “Your Governor [Hutchinson] should be your Servant, and not the Ministry's Slave—for my part I always think that Kings and Governors, are by the law of God and nature the people's servants, to be made and unmade by them and answerable only to them.’ 2, ‘To the King's most excellent Majesty,’ pp. 1-8, representing in plain words that ‘ Princes are made for the People, and not the people for them ’; that the Americans are true and have not their rights, being aggrieved and de- nied their rights as a people, their rights as British subjects and their charter rights. 3, ‘To his Excellency the Governor [Hutchinson] of the Province of the Maſſachuſetts-Bay,’ pp. 1-9 ; criticising him severely, and asking among other things ‘Has not the parliament of America, by virtne of being the representatives of the people, the same right and power to make laws, and lay these laws before the King, for him to sign and confirm—or to disprove the same, as the British Parliament has P’ 4, ‘To the honourable the People's Council, and Houſe of Representatives, of the Pro- vince of the Maſſachuſetts-Bay,’ pp. 1-16, complimenting them on their love of liberty, and censuring them for exer- cising the same oppressions they fled from.

AMERICAN ANNUAL REGISTER (THE), or, His- torical Memoirs of the United States, for the year 1796. [By James Thomson Callender] Philadelphia : 78 Bibliotheca Americana, Bioren & Madan. January 19th, 1797. vii and 288 pages half morocco wºncut 80 (8s 6d 3259) Mr Callender, the author of this lively work, was the editor of The Recorder at Richmond, Virginia, where he died in 1803. His writings are strongly partizan, personal, gossipy, and very interesting, but hardly to be relied upon as true history or biography. At one time he attacked bitterly Yºº Adams, Hamilton and many prominent Fede- rals, and then wrote up Jefferson, receiving from him from time to time many little stipends of encouragement. At another time he attacked Jefferson, and Jefferson told in his letters of the stipends. This Annual Register for the year 1796 is full of historical, political, and personal matters of interest, with much bibliographical scandal about the writers of the day, the government, and the Congress. AMERICAN APOLLO (THE), No. I [–39]—Part II. —Vol. I. Containing Eſſays, Moral, Political and Poetical, and the daily Occurrences in the Natural Civil and Commercial World. Boston, 1792. Vol I Numbers 1-39 in 416 pages 80 (2l 2s 3260) This is a complete set, we believe, of the AMERICAN APOLLO, which has long been a puzzle to the American bibliographer. It is a work of importance, and, though never finished in this shape, deserves to be better known. It was issued by the printers, Messrs Joseph Belknap and Alexander Young, the first No dated the 6th of Jan. and No 39 the 28th of Sept. 1792. It came out every Friday in numbers of 8 or 12 pages each, except No 38, which has only 4 pages. It is called Part II, Vol I, because it was issued in conjunction with a few pages weekly of the Collections of the Massa- chusetts Historical Society, termed Part I, Vol I. The Col- lections ran to 208 pages of the first vol before the separation. Joseph was the son of the Rev. Dr Jeremy Belknap the his- torian, and Alexander was the father of the Rev. Dr Alexr Young of Boston. , Numbers 1 to 19 were printed by this firm, the partnership of which was dissolved 16th May, 1792; No 20 was printed by Joseph Belknap, and Nos 21–39 by Messrs Belknap and Samuel Hall. No 39 was the last that appeared in octavo form. After that the Apollo was en- larged to a newspaper, and continued till the 25th Dec. 1794, while the Historical Society Collections were issued in numbers or parts separately to the end of Vol V. The Col- lections have $. on to this day, while this gossiping twin companion of Volume I has been lost sight of and become well- nigh forgotten. The first dozen numbers of this joint pub- lication were issued in coloured wrappers, after that in white ones. No title page of The Apollo was ever issued, nor was there any preface, index or explanation. With this volume is only one of the Covers, that to No 30, for Friday, July 27, 1792, Vol I. The Title given is “The/ American Apolloſ Containing the Publications of the Historical Society,/ Eſſays, Moral, Political, and Poetical, and theſ Daily Occur- rences in the Natural, Civil, / and Commercial World./ [Woodcut Vignette, Apollo with his lyre and other fixtures] Printed at Boston,/ By Belknap and Hall,ſ State Street.’ſ Bibliotheca Americana 79 The other 3 pages of the cover are filled with advertise- ments, mostly of books. In the first number is this editorial paragraph : “We are happy in presenting the public with the APOLLO, from the first complete Printing-Press ever made in this town—the wood-work was made by Mr. Berry, and the iron-work by Mr. McClench, it is well executed in every part, and does honor to the ingenious constructors.” AMERICAN ARCHIVES : Fourth Series.

[By William L. Smith of South Carolina]. Printed at Charlestown, South Carolina; Reprinted for J. Butterworth, London, 1806. aii and 74 pp. half morocco , 80 (6s 6d 3262) William Loughton Smith, LL.D. of South Carolina, first pub- lished these 27 letters in the Charleston Courier early in 1806, over the Signature PHOCION. As Alexander Hamil- ton occasionally used the same pseudonym, they have some- times been incorrectly attributed to him. Mr Smith was a Member of the first five Congresses, supporting Washing- ton's and Adams's Administrations, 1789-1797, then §§. 80 Bibliotheca Americana Minister to Spain, and afterwards to Portugal to 1801. He opposed Jefferson and his policy of dealing with the Euro- pean Powers in regard to neutral flags and trade. These letters were collected and reprinted in Charleston and ex- tensively circulated. This English edition has a long preface by the English editor, explaining and vindicating Smith's arguments as good English law. This edition omits the first four and part of the fifth letter as not relating to Colo- nial trade, and some other passages relating to interior politics and party disputes. But on the great subject of Neutral Trade these omissions are compensated for by the able preface. At the end is an Appendix, containing the ‘Case of the William,' British Prize Court, Privy Council, March 12, 1806, pp. 69-74 AMERICAN CANDOUR, in a tract lately published at Boston, entitled an Analysis of the late Correspon- dence between our Administration and Great Britain and France.

Following the title is an Advertisement dated London, 10th June, 1809, in which the editor remarks that this reprint Cannot fail to be highly interesting to the English Nation. Mr. Canning's In- structions to Mr. Erskine, and the Correspondence between the latter and Mr. Smith, are added in an Appendix.’ On page 71 begins the second tract with this half-title: “Further and still more important Suppressed Documents.” After acknow- ledging the right of every government to keep secret its negotiations, the editor adds in his preface : ‘It will be perceived by the Documents which we are now about to publish, the authenticity of which may be relied on, and which we challenge Mr. Madison to disavow if he dare,” etc. The Appendix begins on page 97.
