Hardcover. Zustand: Very good condition. The original manuscript title to a very large tract of land near Brookhaven Long Island acquired by John A. Bowman from the individual proprietors and conveyed here by Bowman in its entirety to the Long Island Improvement Company Ltd. The Long Island Improvement Company was formed by Austin Corbin, then president of the L. I. Rail Road and others in 1881. Corbin sought the land in order to develop expensive summer residences on Long Island; Bowman was acting as Corbin's agent in the acquisition of this valuable property. Austin Corbin (1827 1896) was an American railroad executive, plantation owner, resort operator, banker and robber baron. In Iowa, as a bank president, he engaged in mortgage scams. Later, through theft and corruption he consolidated the individual rail lines into the profitable Long Island Rail Road. He was widely despised in his day: Puck (Sept 1882) printed a caricature in which Corbin appears at a Louis XIV styled party, where he carouses with Jay Gould and other robber barons. The Abstract, a bound sml. folio volume, records that Bowman paid $5 per acre for most of the parcels in 1882, then conveyed (January of 1883) the incalculably valuable entire tract to the LI Improvement Co for $1. The Abstract volume concludes with the Suffolk County embossed seal and is signed by the Clerk at Riverhead, 1st June 1885. It includes the ownership history of each parcel, as well as a history of the town of Brookhaven from its founding. The Abstract volume is accompanied by the original hand colored manuscript map on architectural vellum of the entire tract with silk ribbon binding, showing the 25 property owner names and parcel sizes. Surveys were conducted by Justus Roe. The map is titled, "Map of Property of the Long Island Improvement Company (Limited) at Medford LI". The scale is 300 feet to the inch. The northern boundary of the tract shows the Brewster Terry Property and Horse Block Road; the western edge defined by Tunnel and Progues Road and the Austin Roe and Daniel Gerard property; the southern boundary with Georgianna Rider property and Canaan and Medford Roads; the eastern boundary with the Robinson property and Lime Road. The Long Island RR can be seen running from east to west at approximately one third of the way through the tract at the north side. The map signed in ink at the lower right corner, E. H. H. Forder. The Abstract bound in full gilt tan leather, 9 x 14 3/4", attorney's name stamped in gilt at lower corner, James Armstrong, Attny 115 B'Way, N. Y.

First Edition. First edition, 8vo, pp. 24; stitching renewed, some toning, else very good. Apparently two issues were printed, this with one more line on the first page, but the text is identical. An anti-Dorr tract which describes Dorrites as an unrepresentative faction. The constitutional and historical issues are well presented. Originally a supporter of the extension of suffrage, Pitman, a Federal district judge, changed his mind after the People's Convention of 1841. Pitman appeals to the founding fathers, and for some reason attacks Orestes Brownson. Not in American Imprints or Bartlett; Sabin 63054.…

Very good. Mounted on old linen. Few areas of scuffing with minimal loss. Original outline color. Size 19 x 22 Inches. This elegant English map of the Western Hemisphere, produced by John Senex in 1721, presents a fascinating glimpse of early Colonial America - increasingly detailed in the east, whilst retaining great misconceptions with regard to the western part of the continent. A Closer Look This large, attractively engraved work presents the Americas centrally, spanning as far west as the Cocos Islands in the Pacific, and the coasts of France and Spain in the east; glimpses of Africa can be seen in Capo Blanco and Cape Verde. The map reaches from Tierra del Fuego in the south, to Greenland and Baffin's Bay in the north. The cartouche in the upper left is framed with portrayals of Native Americans, together with snakes, turtles, and parrots. In the background, indigenous warriors fight. Nearby is a cannibal scene derived from the long-lived imagery first appearing in De Bry's 16th-century compilation of voyage accounts.) Among the prominent features of North America are its well-realized Great Lakes. The Mississippi, roughly following Hennepin, empties into the Gulf of Mexico in the vicinity of Galveston Bay. An expansive, enigmatic lake dominates the Pacific Northwest. This lake predates by more than 30 years the French 'Sea of the West' apocrypha. California is presented as an island after the Sanson model. In the southeast, Florida is bisected by a unique, unnamed river flowing from the vicinity of Virginia. Insular California Senex preserves one of the most tenacious 17th-century cartographic tropes: the island of California. The concept of an insular California first appeared as a work of fiction in Garci Rodriguez de Montalvo's c. 1510 romance Las Sergas de Esplandian, but the mythical island would not be detailed in a map until the English 1625 Briggs map of North America. The notion dominated 17th-century maps of the Americas, persevering even after Eusebio Kino's 1705 map proved the falsity of the idea. One distinct difference between Senex's Pacific Coast and its Dutch precursors is its depiction of the coast north of California. By the end of the 17th century, most mapmakers simply omitted this coastline, encouraging hopes that the Pacific might communicate easily with the Atlantic via Hudson's Bay or some more northerly Northwest Passage. Senex's map includes (and names) several conjectural islands and portrays three large lakes dominating the northwest: L. Aquinanbock , L. of Isles , and a huge lake labeled The Great Lake of Thongo or Thoya . All are spurious, but Thongo or Thoya seems to be a precursor to the equally vaporous Sea of the West, which dominated French maps of the later 18th century. Publication History and Census The map is cartographically derived from Peter Heylyn's 1703 Cosmography . Although McLaughlin dates this map to 1719, it first appears in Senex's 1721 New General Atlas . It was engraved by John Harris. A handful of examples of the separate map appear in institutional collections. References: Tooley, R. V., The Mapping of America, Chapter 3, #81.
