(64F20E) A SUMPTUOUS SOUVENIR FROM THE OPENING OF THE ERIE CANAL IN A SPLENDID PRESENTATION BINDING. Though initially deemed "Clinton's Folly" when first proposed by Governor Dewitt Clinton, the Erie Canal "proved to be the key that unlocked an enormous series of social and economic changes in the young nation." The present work is one of the first books published in the U.S. to be extensively illustrated by lithography, and is the first book to contain an illustration by George Catlin. Rachel Ann Robertson, the 20-year-old daughter of artist Archibald Robertson, executed the plate facing page 380 from "The Students of Colombia College," "by a young Lady"; a letter laid into the text acknowledges her contribution to the celebratory volume. Other plates include views of the New York harbor crowded with shipping, maps of the waterways in the United States and New York State, badges and emblems of the societies of saddlers, house painters, chair-makers, rope-makers, and a series of fire engines.

armorial bookplate of Cadwallader David Colden (illustrator). armorial bookplate of Cadwallader David Colden. Owned by New York Mayor and Legal Reformer Cadwallader David Colden Bevill, Robert [1770-1824]. A Treatise on the Law of Homicide, And of Larceny at Common Law. London: Printed for W. Clarke and Son, 1799. [xiv], 287 pp. Octavo (9" x 5-3/4"; 22.8 x 14.6 cm). Contemporary calf, blind fillets to boards, lettering piece and blind fillets to spine. Light rubbing and some minor nicks and scuffs to boards, moderate rubbing to extremities with some wear to spine ends and corners, rear joint cracked. Armorial bookplate of Cadwallader David Colden to front pastedown, annotation in his hand to front free endpaper, Colden's signature in pencil to head of title page. Moderate toning and light foxing to text, faint dampstaining in a few places. A nice copy of a scarce title. $2,500. * First and only edition. Bevill was a barrister of the Inner Temple who sought to synthesize disparate common law rulings into foundational legal principles. Writing in his preface, he notes: "I have collected everything to be found in the books which appeared to be material; and I have endeavoured to extract all the principles by which the law, as to these offenses, is governed." [iii-iv]. Published at the close of the 18th century, Bevill's work represents an early era of criminal law specialization. At this time, practitioners typically relied on broad, multi-subject encyclopedias like Blackstone's Commentaries. This dedicated volume reflects a critical shift toward specialized legal textbooks. This copy boasts an exceptional transatlantic legal provenance. It belonged to Cadwallader David Colden [1769-1834], a member of a distinguished New York family who served as Mayor of New York City (1818-1821), a U.S. Representative (1821-1823), and a New York State Senator (1825-1827). Beyond his political career, Colden was a prominent elite legal mind, serving as District Attorney for New York County and pioneering early American juvenile justice reforms. The volume illustrates how early American architects of law relied heavily on contemporary English texts to construct the post-Revolutionary United States legal framework. Colden's manuscript note on the front free endpaper provides a direct window into this conceptual evolution. It reads: "Murder is a killing of malice-/ Malice is where there is a felonious and deliberate intent/ to do bodily harm by.
