 NTRODUCTIO 
 
 
 There is presented in the following pages a list of books, 
 pamphlets and broadsides known to have been printed in 
 Chicago from the first functioning of a local press through 
 the year 1850. This compilation has been "on the fire," so to 
 speak, for seventeen years, but in spite of this long period of sim- 
 mering, I am not in position to claim for it any degree of finality. 
 I think it unlikely, however, that any large number of additional 
 titles will be subsequently recorded. 
 
 The list now published represents a fourth revision of a bibli- 
 ography originally printed in book form in 1927 which recorded 
 70 Chicago imprints earlier than 1851. This and subsequently 
 issued lists focused the interest of bibliographers and historians 
 on the field of early Chicago printing and led to the discovery 
 and report of more titles than were represented in the original 
 list. The operations of the WPA's American Imprints Inventory 
 contributed still more. 
 
 More than three times as many Chicago imprints as I could 
 find in 1927 are described and located in the present list. Details 
 respecting successive amplifications of the record here follow: 
 
 1. The First Printers of Chicago, with a bibliography of 
 the issues of the Chicago press, 1836-1850. Chicago: Cu-

TITLES 
 
 neo Press, Inc. 1927. With 6 reproductions of title pages 70 
 
 2. Notes in Supplement to "The First Printers of Chicago." 
 Chicago: Privately printed. 1931. With 3 reproductions 
 of title pages. Contained 18 titles, of which 1 was later 
 found not to be a Chicago imprint and 2 which were 
 repeated from The First Printers — a net gain of. . 15 
 
 3. Books and Pamphlets Printed in Chicago, 1835-1850. 
 Bulletin of the Chicago Historical Society, v. 1, nos. 1-4, 
 November, 1934 — August, 1935, p. 9-23, 57-64, 88-100, 
 120-132. With 7 reproductions (3 titles pages and 4 
 broadsides). Contained the 85 titles from First Printers 
 
 and Notes in Supplement and in addition .... 85 
 
 Titles previously published 170 
 
 The present list records 232 titles, in which 43 broadsides are 
 included. Of these, 63* (including 25 broadsides) are new. 
 Three (nos. 32, 43, and 127), previously reported as "not lo- 
 cated," are repeated with copies located and with adequate 
 descriptions. 
 
 Five titles (nos. 8, 26, 48, 147, and 192) remain unlocated. Nos. 
 48 and 192 are quite doubtful; they are included only to continue 
 the record of titles previously published. The imprints may be 
 classified by subject as follows: 
 
 TITLES 
 
 Addresses, orations, speeches 22 
 
 Sermons, religious discourses 14 
 
 Lectures 6 42 
 
 Almanacs 16 
 
 Chicago:

 The issues of the Chicago press are significant historically 
 because they reflect the cultural, spiritual, and business interests 
 and activities of one of the world's great cities during its infancy. 
 The beginnings of railroads, of the agricultural machinery in- 
 dustry, and of other businesses which have contributed to the 
 
growth and prosperity of this great metropolis are here recorded 
 in printed documents. And the religious, educational, cultural 
 and legal interests and activities of the fast-growing community 
 are likewise adequately represented in the record. 
 
 A bibliography such as this is not the product of effort by one 
 or two men, but constitutes a cumulation of contributions by 
 hundreds of bibliographers, historians and collectors. My obliga- 
 tions for assistance over the years of bibliographical gestation of 
 this list are too numerous to specify. I desire particularly, how- 
 ever, to acknowledge the interest and cooperation in many ways 
 of the authorities and staff of the Chicago Historical Society. 
 Among institutions whose assistance has proved helpful are the 
 New York Public Library, the Henry E. Huntington Library, 
 the Library of Congress, the Harvard College Library, the 
 Illinois State Historical Library, and the Wisconsin Historical 
 Society. 
 
 Among the individual collectors who have contributed 
 largely to the completion of this list are Thomas W. Streeter, 
 Everett Graff, Lawrence Dicke, and the late George Paullin. 
 
 Most important has been the cooperation, over many years, 
 of my associate Albert H. Allen, who has played a major role 
 in the compilation and editing of this list. To him I make 
 grateful acknowledgment for his able and painstaking work. 
 
 To place this bibliography in its proper perspective, we may 
 recall that the first printing in Chicago was done by John 
 Calhoun. A native of Watertown, N. Y., with several years' 
 experience as a printer on various newspapers in the state of 
 New York, Calhoun arrived late in the fall of 1833 at the 
 swampy little settlement on the Chicago River. Here, on Novem- 
 ber 26, 1833, he produced the first issue of the future city's first 
 newspaper, the Chicago Democrat. Calhoun sold the Democrat 
 in 1836 and thereafter is no longer known as a printer. Except 
 for issues of his newspaper, Calhoun's name as a printer does not 
 appear on any extant product of the early Chicago press. 
 
 The second printer to function independently at Chicago was 
 Thomas O. Davis, of whose antecedents I as yet know nothing. 
 
On June 8, 1835, he began publication of Chicago's second news- 
 paper, the Chicago American. The typographic signature of 
 Davis appears on the first three items in the following list, 
 as well as on others until 1837, when the American passed into 
 other hands. 
 
 Also within the first five years of Chicago printing, Edward 
 H. Rudd made his first appearance in 1837. For records of other 
 printers who began work at Chicago before 1851, the reader is 
 referred to the Index of Chicago Printers, Publishers, and Book- 
 sellers on pages 101-105. 
 
 The step-up in activity of the press is seen in the number of 
 imprints produced respectively in the following years:

 I shall still appreciate report of new titles or locations of early 
 Chicago imprints, even though I do not now feel disposed to 
 promise any future edition of this list.

 I Garrett, Brown & Brother. | Chicago, May 21. | [Chicago, 1835?] 
 32 x 24 cm. Broadside. [ 5 ] 
 
 This auction was an incident of the canal-land boom at Chicago in the 
 years 1834 to 1836. "Germantown" cannot now be identified. Augustus 
 Garrett, who became mayor of Chicago in 1843- 1845, held auctions in a 
 building on Dearborn Street. A. T. Andreas, History of Chicago, p. 134- 
 135, says: "Mr. Garrett's room was the most popular resort of the speculat- 
 ing crowd. During the 10 months of the year 1835 he sold $1,800,000 
 worth of property. The panic of 1837 stopped the land boom." 
 The firm of Garrett, Brown & Brother is not listed in the early Chicago 
 directories, and no mention of this sale is to be found in contemporary 
 Chicago newspapers. It seems probable, however, that this auction was 
 held in 1835, the year of Garrett's greatest activity. Garrett bequeathed a 
 large part of his estate to the Garrett Biblical Insitute, now of Evanston, 
 Illinois. See Chicago Daily News, November 24, 1934, for an account of 
 Garrett and of the land speculation of 1 834-1 836.

 "The earliest 'Chicago Book and Stationery Store' was that of Aaron Rus- 
 sell, formerly of Boston, and Benjamin H. Clift, from Philadelphia, who 
 advertised in the Democrat of August 26, 1834, that they intended opening 
 a store of that description adjoining P. Carpenter's drug establishment, 
 on Water Street. The partnership was dissolved October 22, 1835, and 
 Mr. Clift announced that he would continue the business. In the American 
 of June 18, 1836, B. H. Clift advertised law, theological, medical and 
 miscellaneous books, stationery, and paper-hanging." (A. T. Andreas,

 of the text. This issue lacks the "Act supplemental to an act to incorporate

 there remained six blank pages. For these he set up at the case, without

 the first Chicago Directory. The last six pages consist of advertisements,

 The Harbor and River Convention of 1847 was the first great gathering 
 to put Chicago "on the map" as the rallying point for the whole north- 
 west. It was occasioned by President Polk's veto of the River and Harbor 
 Bill in August, 1846, a bill which included an appropriation for the 
 development of Chicago's harbor. The convention met in protest against 
 the president's summary death-blow to Chicago's hopes of growth 
 through harbor improvements, which thus became a political issue in 
 the campaign of 1848 (see no. 142, below). Among the delegates to this 
 convention were two future presidents — Millard Fillmore, from Buffalo, 
 who was elected vice president in 1848 and became president on the 
 death of Zachary Taylor, and Abraham Lincoln, a delegate from Sanga- 
 mon County, Illinois. 
 
 Included are letters from Henry Clay, Martin Van Buren, and Daniel 
 Webster.

 PATENT YA. REAPER. 
 
 
 Chicago, 4th December, 1849. , 
 The nai»- fact ion iriven by the sale at this place, of 896 of the above Machine* in 
 
 184S, aad «/ abeat IdOO ia IS4», which were distributed through the Wheat Growing districts of the Worth Westers 
 , States, has bcea s* aaiversal a» to reader wholly unnecessary the publication of any certificates, or even long advertise- 
 | asest*. Their erteaaive use has so triumphantly established their superiority over all others, (notwithstanding their pa- 
 rade of certificate*,) that it is sal; ue cessery to refer the Fur tners to the large nutaber of H< Cormick's Reapers sold ia i 
 P*a* years and the largely increased demand for them, aad to eait their attention to some improvements made in those ! 
 BsBttafaetared fiwr the next Harveat. 
 
 The Improvement* introduced into the Reaper for I Hlft, were estimate d by many 
 
 to bare doable its value and the drjsagbt to be about ahorse power lighter. In addition to those, several important 
 ones are made ;c the Machiue* maawJactared far the serf harvest. The change in the height or eutting can now be made 
 ia a very few inmates and with very little trouble. The fiagers have been so altered in shape and position, os better to • 
 gather the grata sad seeare it while be top eat a ad at the same time better to prnteet the sickle and facilitate the eutting, 
 i tW the forme.- woedea ground wheel, as iron eae is substituted. The object of several other changes has been to per- 
 i/«c' the Reaper : these improvements to affect its entire operation, that the warrant in the printed order for a Reaper, < 
 while ia all other respects the same, is increased from ant and m half as heretofore, to (tea aeraa per hour, which will be 
 considered a sufficient t*dartrmrmt »/ the imprarementt. j 
 
 Some person* have been engaged la itiTr'injf ement* of the ander-signed'a Patent 
 
 duriag the past year ; several seeh have promptly desisted on being notified ; it was hoped that ull would have followed i 
 their ex amp l e . The undersigned bow warns all, that be is resolved to prosecute every one who is making or selling Kea- ] 
 per* which are infriagemeots of his Patent, mad ia all eases as well as the makers or sellers, be will make thane trho pur- 
 tk**m #r use such Sacbiaes rrtpamjihtr, as they are equally liable with tbe maaufnetnrer. Suit* Imn- been already com* ]
