USADO / GEBRAUCHT / USED. José Cecilio del Valle, nacido el 22 de noviembre de 1780 en Choluteca y fallecido el 2 de marzo de 1834 en Guatemala, es el hondureño más ilustre de su época y el primer universitario de nuestro país. Valle se graduó de abogado en 1803,pero antes de ello se había preocupado por la dignidad del centroamericano, por los derechos del hombre, por el destino de sus conciudadanos y «por las letras, las artes y las ciencias». De allí que el adjetivo de primer universitario de Honduras no sea pretencioso ni gratuito, sino apropiado para quien se interesó por la cultura y procuró difundirla por todos los medios. Los biógrafos de Valle lo han analizado como político, jurista, periodista, hombre de estudio, americanista, funcionario, estadista, orador, indigenista, sociólogo y economista, haciendo de su figura una de las más interesantes de América Latina. Las cartas que se publican ahora bajo el auspicio de la Universidad Nacional Autónoma de Honduras han de arrojar más luz sobre su persona que estamos obligados a conocer pues es, con la del General Francisco Morazán, una de las representativas de nuestra nacionalidad. Se publican estas cartas de y para José Cecilio del Valle en ocasión de un nuevo aniversario patrio y en este año de 1963 «nos parece que con la voz más acendrada y con menos angustia, esa figura se descarna del mármol y vuelve a andar».

Steiner (1840-1906), a Georgia physician, planter, folklorist, and amateur archaeologist, whose excavation of the Etowah mounds near Macon, Georgia, form the core of the largest collection of artifacts from a single individual to have been donated to the Smithsonian ; with his bookplate ; "During the latter half of the 19th century and into the early part of the 20th century, Roland collected a massive quantity of prehistoric artifacts from areas throughout Georgia; including Mound C at the Etowah Mound site near Cartersville, Georgia and sites in Burke, Columbia, Floyd, Hancock, and several other counties. He became a member of the Georgia Historical Society on July 7, 1886, the American Association for the Advancement of Science in 1899 and the Society of American Folklore in the same year. In his lifetime, Roland collected more than 100,000 Native American relics from Georgia and South Carolina. Throughout the 1890s and early part of the 1910s, Steiner sent approximately 78,000 artifacts including copper axes, copper headdresses, conch shell cups and gorgets, pearl beads, pottery vessels, pottery statuettes, and other artifacts made of polished and chipped stone to the Smithsonian Museum of Natural History in Washington, D.C. His private collection at the Smithsonian is the largest private collection in the museum. Steiner also has collection of artifacts located at the American Museum of Natural History in New York, New York and the Field Museum in Chicago, Illinois." ; "Dr. Steiner has been, for about three years, at intervals, making deposits of aboriginal implements and objects in the National Museum. His collection amounts now to approximately 75,000 objects. They have been gathered by him in eastern Georgia, principally in Columbia and Burke Counties, though there is a very important collection made by himself from the Etowah Mounds in Bartow County.Not the least inconsiderable portion of Dr. Steiner's collection, nor that of least value, is the result of his own excavation at the Etowah Mounds or, as they have been known, the Tumlin Mounds on the plantation of Col. Tumlin, Etowah Creek, Bartow County. These are probably the most renowned mounds of which we know, and have produced the rarest and most curious objects. It appears to me of the highest necessity that we should retain the objects from this mound that belong to Dr. Steiner, to the end that they may supplement the collection of Prof. Thomas. I would consider it almost an irreparable loss, one not to be calculated in dollars and cents, if the objects belonging to Dr. Steiner should be taken away and the collection from the Etowah Mound broken up. The purchase of this collection from Dr. Steiner will materially facilitate the complete excavation of the Etowah Mounds and insure to the Museum the possession of their riches in its entirety."--Thomas Wilson, Curator, Division of Prehistoric Anthropology, January 19, 1898. ; contributors included Nicasio Juan Gallego (1777-1853), Francisco Maria Raynouard, Taver John Nicols, Marie-Charles-Joseph Pougens (1755-1833), Jacob Pontusson De la Gardie, Robert Southey (1774-1843), Guy Arnault, Felix Torres Amat (1772-1857), Joseph del Castillo, Jose Maria Zuaznavar y Fracia, Alberto Rodríguez de Lista y Aragón (1775-1848), Romanillos Benito Ortega, Manuel López Cepero y Ardila (1778-1858), and others ; G, scarce.

The front hinge is cracked and the book is lacking the front endpaper. The pages are toned and the first and last few pages are more heavily darkened. A good, complete collated copy. First edition.The eccentric itinerant American evangelist Lorenzo Dow (1777-1834) is said to have preached to more people than any other of his period. A sickly child, Dow was inspired by "religious speculations" in his youth. He joined the Methodist church and joined the Connecticut conference as a circuit preacher. Dow, known to own but one set of clothes and whose long hair and beard were said to "never having met a comb" traveled on foot and horseback throughout the United States, sometimes with his wife Peggy Dow. He carried little else with him except a box of Bibles which he would give away as well as the little money he earned which he would give to the poor. Although preaching a Methodist doctrine, Dow also traveled to preach in England and Ireland as a missionary to the Catholics of that country. A controversy surrounding his introduction of camp meetings to England resulted in the formation of the Primitive Methodist Society. Dow would preach anywhere he could gather a crowd, often announcing a year in advance where and when he would appear. He shouted, screamed, cried, begged, flattered, insulted and challenged people while recounting stories and joking. Dow, who preached against atheism, deism, Calvinism and Universalism, was also a fierce abolitionist and his sermons were often unpopular in the South.Shaw: American bibliography 6190.…

THE RARE FIRST EDITION, FIRST STATE of Greenleaf's monumental 1829 wall map, issued separately but in conjunction with his two other ambitious publications of that year: "Survey of the State of Maine, in Reference to its Geographical Features, Statistics and Political Economy" and "Atlas Accompanying Greenleaf's Map and Statistical Survey of Maine." Granted statehood in 1820, by 1829 Maine was still embroiled in a dispute with Great Britain over its northern boundary. This map is the first to show the boundary from actual surveys. The claims were settled by the Webster-Ashburton Treaty of 1842, in which the United States ceded 5,000 square miles of disputed territory along the Maine border, including the Halifax-Quebec Route, but kept 7,000 square miles of the disputed wilderness. The map is also notable for the accuracy in which it presented hundreds of lakes and rivers in the interior. PROVENANCE: Doyle's, 17 April 2019, lot 52.

¾ S. 4to. An einen namentlich nicht genannten Adressaten: "Hr. Leipziger hat mich heute angemahnt, doch zu sorgen, daß die Ablieferung der bestellten Sachen bald erfolge; er habe von Hn. Livio die Erinnerung erhalten, bei der bald herannahenden ungünstigen Jahreszeit die Uebersendung ja recht bald zu befördern [.]". - Heinrich Wilhelm Brandes hatte schon als Student zusammen mit Johann Friedrich Benzenberg 1798 den kosmischen Ursprung der Meteore nachgewiesen. "1801-11 arbeitete er als Deichinspektor am Jadebusen in Eckwarden. Er erhielt 1811 eine Professur für Mathematik an der Univ. Breslau; 1826 folgte er einem Ruf als Prof. der Physik nach Leipzig. Brandes verfaßte astronomische Studien über Sternschnuppen und Kometen, beschäftigte sich aber auch mit Meteorologie ('Beiträge zur Witterungskunde', 1820). Mit der Einführung synoptischer Wetterkarten verbesserte er die Verfahren der Wettervorhersage entscheidend" (DBE). - Stärker gebräunt und fleckig.…

4to 2¼ pages on bifolium with integral address panel. To the German classicist Karl Abraham Eichstädt (1772-1848) in Jena, consenting to write reviews in the fields of physics and astronomy, and asking him to send a contract: "Auf den geneigten Antrag der Hrn. Unterneh[mer] der Jenaer Allg. Literatur-Zeitung, Recensionen im Fache der Physik u. Astronomie zu übernehmen, habe ich mir die Freiheit genommen, unterm 31. Octob. vorig. J. Ew. Wohlgeboren meine Geneigtheit diesen Antrag anzunehmen, anzuzeigen. Da ich nun aber seit diesen 4 Monaten, den in dem vorigen Briefe erwähnten Contract nicht erhalten habe und deshalb besorge, daß mein Brief nicht richtig in Ihre Hände gekommen sein mögte, so werden Sie mir erlauben, hier noch mals Ihnen meinen Dank für diesen ehrenvollen Antrag abzustatten, und meine Geneigtheit zu bezeugen, Recensionen besonders in den Theilen der Physik, welche den mathematischen Untersuchungen am meisten verwandt sind, zu übernehmen. Diejenigen Schriften, welche zu sehr der Chemie u. Mineralogie verwandt sind, also auch die Geologischen, verbitte ich, so auch in der Astronomie diejenigen, welche vom Gebrauch oder von der Einrichtung der Instrumente insbesondre handeln, weil ich von letzterm Gegenstande nicht diejenige auf Erfahrung u. häufigen eigenen Gebrauch mannigfaltiger Instrumente gegründete Kentniß besitze, welche zu richtiger Beurtheilung nöthig ist. Dagegen würde ich auch aus der reinen Mathemat. u. zwar aus allen Theilen derselben (blos etwa die combinatorische Analytik u. d. Variations-Rechnung ausgenommen) Bücher zu beurtheilen nicht ungern übernehmen. - Werke in lateinischer, französischer u. englischer Sprache werde ich sehr gerne annehmen. - Ausser den oben erwähnten Fächern könte ich auch die Hydrotechnik, welche jezt mein eigentliches Geschäft ist, zu denen zählen, in welchen ich Ihres Beifalls würdig zu arbeiten hoffe. - Die Packete muß ich ersuchen an Hrn. Buchhändler Schulze in Oldenburg oder an den Buchbinder Fricke daselbst zu addressiren, da ich sie von diesen durch die häufig vorkommende Gelegenheit immer sicher erhalte, u. die hiesige Fußboten Post keine Packete mitnimt. Ich empfehle mich Ew. Wohlgeboren ergebenst [.]". - Small tear due to breaking seal (not touching text). …
