Amsterdam & Leipzi: Arkste'e & Merku, 1752. Two volumes. [22],554; [2],316,[6],[6],309,[3]pp., plus fifty-five plates and maps (most folding). Quarto. Contemporary speckled calf, spines gilt, leather labels. Hinges cracked, boards lightly worn and stained. Bookplates on front endpapers. Light scattered foxing and soiling. Good plus, with nice wide margins. First French edition, after the original Spanish of 1747. Sabin lists the French language edition as published in Amsterdam and Leipzig, with the note: "Some copies of this French translation have the imprint, 'Paris: Charles Antoine Jombert, MDCCLII'; this has given rise to the idea that an edition was printed there, which is not the case; there is merely a change in the title. The translator was M. de Mauvillon." This voyage to Peru was undertaken due to the desire of the French government to send members of the Academy of Sciences to measure a degree of longitude in the equinoctial countries of Peru. To share in the honor the King of Spain sent…

Lima: Imprenta Real de los Huerfanos, 1806. [18],9,cxcviii,[2]pp. plus two folding leaves of letterpress. Small quarto. Contemporary mottled calf, spine gilt. Rubbed at extremities, boards warped. Text heavily wormed. Light dampstaining and tanning. Poor. The first edition of the first treatise on hygiene in Spanish. Professor Unanue was famous in his time, and through his books his prestige reached Europe.

Unanue's importance continues to this day, evidenced by the number of times he is cited in Aristides A. Moll's history of medicine in South America, ÆSCULAPIUS IN LATIN AMERICA (1944). Of great interest for the history of medicine and hygiene. MEDINA, LIMA 2013. VARGAS UGARTE 3281.…

Union City, Tn: Printed by P.F. Hill, G.M. of Tennessee and Editor Royal Banne, 1885. 92,[3]pp. Illustrated. 12mo. Original blue cloth over boards. Cloth mostly separated from boards, cloth worn and somewhat tattered, front board detached, rear board broken but adhering to cloth. Text toned and soiled, bottom corner dog-eared throughout, last leaf detached but present. Good only. An exceedingly rare manual of rituals for an African-American fraternal organization first formed by both slaves and freedmen in Louisville in 1861. The United Brothers formed as a benevolent association in order to care for the sick, bury the dead, and generally support each other at the outset of the Civil War. At the time of organization, most of the founders were teenagers. The present work was compiled by W.H. Lawson, one of the founders of the association, after the group reorganized in 1868. The reorganization occurred when several founders of the society were in night school together and their teacher encouraged them…

Description:
[Philadelphia: Childs and Swaine, 1791].. [1]p., on a 11 3/4 x 7 1/2 inches (29 1/2 x 19cm) sheet. Signed in ink by Jefferson on the recto, docketed in ink with Jefferson's name (in another hand) on the verso. Lightly soiled, old folds. Some splitting along folds, reinforced with tape on verso. A few small closed tears to margins, also repaired on verso. Very good overall. A rare and foundational piece of early American legislation and a vital steppingstone on the road to a permanent United States Post Office, signed by Thomas Jefferson as Secretary of State. Originally established under the Continental Congress in 1775, the duties of the Post Office were more or less inherited by the Washington administration at the end of the Revolutionary War. Shortly after the Constitution was adopted in 1789, an "Act for the temporary Establishment of the Post Office" was passed by the first Congress, solidifying its position in the new government. The present Act is one of three passed between 1789 and 1792…

This is the first Mexican printing of the United States Constitution, accompanied by two important addresses by George Washington. This work was produced in anticipation of Mexican independence from Spain, and the U.S. Constitution in particular provided inspiration to the drafters of the constitution of newly-independent Mexico. Written in 1824, it was the first constitution of Mexico as a sovereign state, and the constitution under which the colonization of Texas by Americans would take place. It is ample evidence of the transnational influence on the United States Constitution on emerging democracies, in this case America's…
