Sold at Sotheby's, 2018. In 1818, the Perry-Elliott affair came to a head when Perry wrote to Navy Secretary Benjamin Crowninshield preferring court-martial charges against his former subordinate. Not wishing to expose the nation to the controversial aspect of Perry's splendid victory on Lake Erie, President James Monroe offered the prestigious title of "Commodore" to Oliver if he'd drop the charges against Elliott. Upon accepting that offer in early 1819 Perry set sail for the Orinoco River, Venezuela, aboard the frigate John Adams (carrying this very book with him) accompanied by the schooner Nonsuch, there to discourage piracy, while maintaining friendly diplomatic relations with the Republic of Venezuela and the Republic of Buenos Aires. Shifting his flag to the shallow-draft Nonsuch Perry sailed upriver to Angostura to negotiate an anti-piracy agreement with President Simon Bolivar. A favorable treaty was signed on August 11 with Vice-President Francisco Antonio Zea in the absence of Bolivar (who was engaged in the liberation of New Granada), but when the schooner started downriver, many of her crew, including Perry, had been stricken with yellow fever. Despite the crew's efforts to reach Trinidad for medical assistance, the commodore died on board Nonsuch on August 23, 1819, his 34th birthday, as the ship was nearing Port of Spain, his flagship John Adams in sight. He was buried in Port of Spain with great honors while the Nonsuch's crew acted as honor guard. Perry's remains were taken back to the United States in 1826 and interred in Newport, Rhode Island. Originally interred in the Old Common Burial Ground, his body was eventually moved to Newport's Island Cemetery. Signed.

Hardcover. Zustand: Good. A large collection of 57 volumes of this important journal of historical documents, which includes several folded maps and plates, and provides excellent source material relating to the history of Pennsylvania commencing in the year 1664. The collection consists of the first set of 12 consecutive volumes edited by Samuel Hazard (printed in Philadelphia by Joseph Severns & Co. from 1852-56), together with the 1860 Index volume; the Second Series of 19 consecutive volumes edited by John B. Linn and William H. Egle (printed in Harrisburg by Lane S. Hart, B.F. Meyers, and E.K. Meyers from 1875-90); and the first consecutive 25 volumes of the Third Series edited by William Egle (printed in Harrisburg by Clarence M. Busch and W.M. Stanley Ray from 1894-98). The collection lacks only the final five volumes of the third series (vols. 26-30). An ex-library set bound in dark blue cloth over boards, with an institutional ink stamp or bookplate on the front pastedowns and scattered perforated stamps (on the title pages, some preliminary leaves, and folded maps and plates). Most volumes are good overall with some intermittent modest tape repairs, and scattered tears at the folds of several folded maps and plates. An historically important and scarce comprehensive collection.
