Description:
Newburgh, NY, 1832. Very good condition. The inhabitants of the Hudson River town cite their growing prosperity in a request to the Legislature for an additional bank, with much specific information on their economic growth. These many examples include: that the town employed 7 sloops and three steam boats to New York; that the amount of goods sold in the town amounted to $900,045; and that the value of property shipped out of Newburgh amounted to $1,200,000. Newburgh boasted numerous woollen (sic), cotton, paper, and flour manufactories as well as 3 iron foundries, and 13 brick yards. The Bank of Newburgh, founded in 1811, had capital of only $140,000, but the bank paid yearly dividends of 7 to 9%. The petition also cites the recent rapid growth of surrounding towns, including Glenham, Matteawan, Walden, Cornwall and Cold Spring. The document dated January 1, 1832. A few old folds, with some short splits, one reinforced with archival tape and not affecting text. 7 3/4 x 13"

New York: Appleton, 1845. First edition. Full Morocco. Very good condition. Roy. 8vo, letterpress & 20 hand-colored lithographs by Edwin Whitfield, lith. of Lewis and Brown of New York. Not only is this a most charming book, illustrating native American flowers pictured with Hudson River, Pennsylvania & New Jersey landscapes behind, but an interesting work in the transition between hand-coloring and color lithographic printing. The book includes both processes, representing color printing during a transition period moving towards mass-produced chromolithographic technology. "What makes this book interesting is the fact that the plates show some touches of color printing; Lewis and Brown is one of the very early firms to produce chromolithographic illustrations for books" - McGrath. McGRATH, pp.45, 89. The text includes a number of articles of interst: "Elfin Exile", an American fairy tale; a chapter on the Croton Aqueduct, "one of the grandest & most imposing results ever produced by human skill &… Read More
