Signed archive of rare United States Government circulars, enclosures, and supplements 1888. hardcover. These documents are dated from 1884 to 1892. Several are signed in type by Robert Todd Lincoln, American Ambassador to the United Kingdom, Department of State. 13.25 x 8.25-inch slim folio-sized volume, bound with marble boards and leather, 20 pages, with the addition of an important typed letter signed by Benjamin F. Butler, investigating a mass inheritance fraud perpetrated on the citizens of America by con artists in the United Kingdom. During this period, American citizens would be notified that they were heirs to a large unclaimed English Estate or perhaps a large sum of money held in the Bank of England. To receive their inheritance, they were told that certain legal fees and real estate transfer taxes would have to be paid to agents of the British Government. Another variation of the scheme involved American con artists placing advertisements in newspapers calling themselves "European claim agencies" and charging Americans exorbitant fees for investigating the ownership of non-existing estates. Lincoln is flustered because the American Legation in London is receiving hundreds of letters from American citizens who were swindled, and yet little was being done in the United States to educate its citizens to the magnitude of the fraud. Mr. Lincoln to Mr. Blaine [extract], March 3, 1891, "...since March 4, 1889, one hundred and ninety (190) letters have been received at this Legation alleging the writers claims to large estates in England or to fantastic sums of money 'in chancery' or 'in the Bank of England,' none of them containing an element of probability..." In conclusion is a typed letter signed by former Union General Benjamin F. Butler, 1 page on law office letterhead, Boston, November 14, 1888, whereby he brings to light the vast magnitude of the con, in part: "...I have now been more than 45 years in the practice of a legal profession, more or less extensively. I have heard of more than 4500--I hope I do not exaggerate--cases of large estates in England awaiting American heirs, and I have been consulted in a very great many, and early in life looked into such matters; but I have not for the last 25 years at all because I never have heard of one dollar coming from England to any American heir on account of such estates. In the first place it is a legal impossibility unless the heirs are British subjects...all those I have ever known about are swindles..." Leather binding worn at the spine with light fading to the marble boards. All interior documents are in good to very good condition. [Bookseller: Argosy Book Store]

Charmosyna Josephine (Josephina Parrakeet) London 1888 - John Gould (1804-1881) was an English ornithologist, self-taught artist and naturalist. Gould first worked as a gardener under his father in the Royal Gardens of Windsor, from 1818-1824, where he began his illustrations. He became an expert taxidermist, opening his own practice in London in 1824 and in 1827 he became the first Curator and Preserver at the museum of the Zoological Society of London. Through his work he was able to meet with the country’s leading naturalists and view new collections of birds given to the Zoological Society. His interest in birds was continually developing and in 1830 he published his first volume on birds, “A Century of Birds From the Himalaya Mountains.” For the next fifty years, Gould, his wife and artists working with them traveled around Asia, the East Indies and Australia. While in Papua New Guinea, he decided to embark on a final folio as a complement to his unprecedented “Birds of Asia”. “The Birds of New Guinea” was Gould's last full-scale work, left incomplete on his death in 1881. Gould completed twelve of the twenty-five parts, and the task of finishing the project fell to Richard Bowdler Sharpe, a superbly qualified successor, who had been Gould's colleague, assistant and friend. One of Gould's most exotic works, the five magnificent volumes of the Birds of New Guinea contain an extensive series of beautiful images of birds of paradise, bower birds, parrots, parakeets, cockatoos, kingfishers and hawk-owls. All of the 320 images are extraordinary for their color and artistry, interesting backdrops and animated compositions. Gould and Sharpe created some of their most engaging and active scenes of bird life in the “The Birds of New Guinea”, and the great popular reception of the work was such that it was one of their only productions that led to a sequel, Sharp's “Birds of Paradise” (1891-98). Missing from that later production, however, was the almost overwhelming variety of species of the “The Birds of New Guinea”, which, like the “Birds of Asia”, was the most comprehensive chronicle of the island's ornithology ever issued. This folio size, hand-colored lithograph, Psitteuteles Arfaki, is in very good condition with light foxing throguhout. Measuring 21.5" x 14.75", this lithograph displays the author’s scientific skill and attention to detail. Commonly called Whiskered Lorikeet or Plum-faced Lorikeet, these birds are expertly hand-colored in vibrant shades of green with red, yellow, blue and black accents. Also characteristic of these birds is the white spotted lines under their eyes. These birds are shown in dynamic positions, allowing for the viewer to appreciate the coloring of the back as well as the front and wingspan of the birds. They are set within a lush forest area, similar to their natural habitats in New Guinea. [Bookseller: Arader Galleries San Francisco]

Signed autograph manuscript poem n.p., [December 9,1888]. Very Good. An uncommon item from Walter Crane, one of the most important and prolific artists from the Golden Age of book illustration. This is a handwritten copy of Crane's poem "Rondeau: Seedtime," which appeared in Renascence: A Book of Verse, published in 1891 and which he also illustrated. Crane (1845-1915) was an influential illustrator and also a major figure in the Arts & Crafts movement. He was a great admirer of Edward Burne-Jones, and was influenced by William Morris and his Socialist movement. In a contemporary review, Renascence was described as "this little volume does both the author and publisher credit for the tasteful style in which it is produced." However the critic went on to say that Crane's art was far superior to his abilities as a poet. "Rondeau: Seedtime" was one of a series of rondeaux included in the verse collection. It is a sonnet: "The field is wide - broadcast the seed/of human hope for [later and] human need/As to and fro, from end to end/the furrows of the world ye went/its legioned hungry mouths to feed..." Signed and dated by Crane.On folded sheet with rust stain at top left margin and some foxing. Several light pencil emendations by an unknown hand, but very good. 4.5 x 7 inches. AUTO/102014.

The Coming of the Great Queen, London: Harrison and Sons,, 1888. a Narrative of the Acquisition of Burma. Octavo. Original red cloth, title gilt to the spine and the to the front board together with an on-laid white cloth elephant's with gilt details, and illustration of a British soldier in solar topee greeting a Burmese with a parasol, black surface-paper endpapers. Folding steel-engraved frontispiece, 12 collotype plates, 3 folding coloured maps. A little rubbed and spotted on the boards, spine somewhat sunned, but the gilt bright, pale toning, but a very good copy. First edition. Attractive and authoritative contemporary account, the Army and Navy Gazette considered that the "chapters on "The Commerce of Burma" on "Dacoity", and on "The Native Races of Indo-China" are of great and permanent value", while the Saturday Review thought that the story of the Third Anglo-Burma War "by river and land, of the taking of the City and the surrender of the King is well told". Browne served with the Royal Scots Fusiliers in the Zulu war of 1879, in the Boer War of 1881 as Assistant Director of Transport with the Natal Field Force, and with the "Burmese Expedition 1885-86 in command of a Mounted Corps composed of Mounted Infantry, Civilian Volunteers, and Burmans, equipped and organised by him (mentioned in despatches, Medal and clasp)" (Hart's Army List). A very nice copy of an elusive title. [Bookseller: Peter Harrington]

[Broadside]: Downing. This is an exact representation of the Downing Grape, and is made from a photograph Merchantville, N.J.: Joel Horner & Son, Grape Vines, Small Fruits, Etc.. [no date - circa 1888]. First. Broadside. 13" x 14". Light old folds, a few dark stains, a very good example. Advertisement with a large woodcut of two lush bunches of grapes. A very uncommon, and concievably unique broadside: we had a shop in Merchantville for over a decade and there are very few 19th Century Merchantville imprints. We've seen only one other, a town history published in 1899, and OCLC perhaps locates another three. The town was incorporated in 1874. Horner is mentioned most often in documents of the 1880s (Vice President of the County Board of Agriculture in 1887; in correspondence with the State Board of Agriculture about grapes in 1889). .
