Description:
Coxsackie, NY, 1806. Two printed forms each completed in unique hand (15.5 x 21 cm. each). The earlier permit allows for Charles Titus (1760-1847) of Coxsackie to sell "spiritous liquors" in a quantity of fewer than five gallons for one year. Specifications that the liquor must not be drunk at his house, out-house, yard, or garden preclude the operation of a tavern or public house. This license is signed and sealed by Peter A. Van Bergen, Philip Conine Junr, and Jonas Bronk. Notable here is the Bronk name, a descendent of Jonas and Pieter Bronck, after whom the Bronx River, County, and Borough are named. The 1806 license-printed by Charles R. and George Webster, Albany's leading newspaper publishers and printers-permits Titus to operate a public inn or tavern for one year. License issued, signed, and sealed by Coxsackie's Commissioners of Excise. Besides his store and tavern, Titus is noted to have owned a sawmill, ashery, blacksmith shop, and trading vessel. Both documents have uneven edges with…

Description:
Santa Barbara, California: Woodbridge Press Publishing Company, 1976. Oblong duodecimo in wrappers (15 x 23 cm.), 160 pages. Index. Illustrated. FIRST EDITION. While this work claims to be "the first book of insect cookery ever to be printed", it is a successor to Ronald Taylor's Butterflies in My Stomach and certainly doesn't precede Vincent Holt's Why Not Eat Insects? (1885). It is highly likely that it is the first work to credit more than one bait shop in the acknowledgments. Some light soiling to the edges of text block and to the wrapper at the spine. Otherwise very good.

Description:
Brenham; Austin, Texas, 1862. Single page manuscript (26 x 20 cm.), handwritten text in brown ink recto only (though some faint pencil notes to verso). The invoice is a list of goods stored in Brenham Texas, in the early part of the Civil War, apparently for the safe keeping of the owner's inventory of spirits and other items related to his tavern or bar. The list includes "4 Brls. Old Bourbon Whiskey 165 Gallons", "1 Brl. Hol. Gin...", "1 Keg Jamaica Rum...", "1 Keg Old Port Wine...", "1/4 Cask French Brandy...", "...Arm Chairs" and other items. The second part of the document appears to be the sale of the inventory, less than one year later, to a Mr. M.M. Young. Brenham, Texas is a small city about half way between Austin and Houston. Lined paper with two crease lines, separating along one, but legible and with no text lost.

All are breakfast or lunch menus from the S.S. Aleutian. A statement at the foot of each menu states, "Envelopes for mailing may be obtained at the print shop" reminding us that the menus served a purpose beyond delivering the meal's choices. It also acts as an advertising mailer, for passengers to send to friends and family. And we're reminded that the menus were printed onboard the steamship. Fine.

Description:
New York: James Miller, 1864. Octavo, 345 pages. Advertisements. A guide to procuring inexpensive farm land during the Civil War. An early "Back-to-the-land" treatise. In this work, Morris, author of Ten Acres Enough, an early farm manual encouraging a return to the land, looks at specific regions and states, laws, and financial strategies for obtaining a farm. Tipped on to the front endpapers are two yellow advertisements, including one for "Gift Fruit Boxes" which explains that the idea for cheap boxes for this purpose had been proposed in Ten Acres enough. The Gift Fruit Boxes, sold by the book's publisher, are "strong and light" and can be shipped in flats and assembled by a child. Brown cloth slightly discolored, decorative blind stamp. Slight foxing throughout, with piece of top margin torn, pages 133-36. Generally very good.
