Dublin: Messrs. Gilbert, Price, Walker, White, Beatty, Byrne and Cash, 1783. First Irish edition. Hardcover. Good. 1783, the First Irish Edition of the United States Constitution in book form, reprinted from the London edition which was done from the original Philadelphia edition. Hardcover, 8vo., contemporary full calf with faded leather title label on spine. 264 pp. The text is complete, but this copy is missing all endpapers (ie, the first page present is the title page and the last page present is the last page of text). Otherwise a Good, solid copy; hinges cracked, but holding; scuffing to the boards; light browning throughout and a few small stains. This copy has 2 interesting bits of provenance: ink note on the title page by The Collector of Baltimore, Robert Purviance, indicating that he received the book from a W. William Yourey(?) of Ireland in 1785. Additionally, signature of W. H. Halliburton of DeWitt, Arkansas, in purple pencil on the front pastedown and last page of text. Purviance was a minor governmental figure in Baltimore who has a recorded correspondence with Alexander Hamilton regarding the enforcement of laws in Baltimore. During the Civil War Halliburton, who was likely born in the 1810's, was appointed chief collector of the Confederate States war tax for Arkansas. A rare book, with fascinating provenance including two taxmen, one for the fledgling United States, and the other for the Confederacy. HOWES C716.

The copyright is held by Erwin F. Bahlmann (b.1886-__) a family member or spouse. The Library of Congress cites its copy of this map as Historical Map of Wisconsin and cites a 1995 copyright registration. WorldCat confirms that there is a 1995 reprint of this map.

1860 Life of Kit Carson American Expeditions INDIANS Hunting John C Fremont

Kit Carson was one of the most famous American West frontiersmen, known for being an Indian Guide and Agent of the United States to work with native tribes. Carson's life was written about extensively throughout the 19th-century, including Charles Burdett's account. Burdett portrays Carson as a classic American folk hero, describing his expeditions westward, his trade ventures, learning to fight from Native American Indians, and his settling in Indian cultures. Other notable topics include Carson's buffalo and bear hunting excursions, as well as accounts of his involvement in John C. Fremont's expeditions.

The pages are white, crisp and clear of any markings. "This is a history of the visual arts produced in the geographical area that now constitutes the United States. Such a book is difficult to title. A History of United States Art sounds awkward and logically might even be construed to exclude the arts of the colonial period. Thus, with apologies to our northern and southern neighbors, I use the title A History of American Art, knowing full well that the terms America and the United States are not synonymous...." - Preface from A History of American Art
