Asks to be remembered to 'Miss Hawtrey'. The subject of the letter is unclear, but the fact that Gladstone was educated at Eton may be significant.

Text block very good with scattered foxing throughout. Rev. Buchanan was chaplain of Calcutta and vice-principal of the college of Fort William. While in these positions he translated the bible into many languages. This book was widely influential in encouraging a more world wide missionary expansion, and it was published in an amazingly wide variety of places in the United States. His outlook toward those he tried to convert is representational of the era he came from, exuding moral superiority and dismissing their ways.

Hardcover. Zustand: Very Good. 1st Edition. 8vo. pp. xvi, 147, [10]. complete with half-title. 3 folding engraved maps & plans by Thomas Hutchins, folding engraved plate of troop formations & 2 engraved plates after Benjamin West (1 partly hand-coloured). 19th century half calf (spine & corners worn, hole in blank portion of half-title repaired). First Edition of the French Translation by C.G.F. Dumas of this account of Colonel Henry Bouquet's decisive campaign of 1763-64 in the Ohio region, which put an end to Pontiac's conspiracy. The work was originally published at Philadelphia in 1764, and then at London the following year. Appearing here for the first time is a brief prefatory biography of Bouquet written by the translator; according to the DAB, this is the sole authority for Bouquet's European career. Although long believed to have been written by Thomas Hutchins, who accompanied the expedition and executed the engraved plans, it is now established that this account was prepared by Provost Smith from Bouquet's notes at his request. Bouquet came to North America in 1756, where he proved himself to be a brilliant commander, serving largely on the western frontier, and quickly adapting himself and his troops to the exigencies of wilderness warfare. In 1763 he marched a small army of Royal Americans and Highlanders to relieve Fort Pitt in the Ohio region, repulsing a group of Delawares and Shawnees at Edgehill, and crushing an Indian attack at Bushy Run. The following year he commanded the southern of two expeditions sent to pacify the Indians. Leading a small force of provincials and regulars to the forks of the Muskingum, he succeeded in forcing the surrender of all prisoners in Indian hands and concluded a general peace, thus ending the conspiracy of Pontiac. In recognition of his services, he was publicly thanked by the King and by the assemblies of the southern provinces, awarded the rank of brigadier, and given command of the southern district. The plates include a map of the Ohio region, showing the course of the Ohio and Muskingum Rivers and the positions of the Indian villages relative to the army of Colonel Bouquet, a plan of the battle of Bushy Run, a map showing the route of Bouquet's march across the Indian territory in 1764, a plate of troop formations, and two engravings after Benjamin West, which originally appeared in the London edition of 1766, one representing the conference between Bouquet and the Indians in October 1764, the other showing the English captives being returned by the Indians to Colonel Bouquet in November 1764.

4to. 2 pp. Double sheet. With address. To Dr. Hale in Geneva, West New York: Your letter of rail road was received. Unfortunately, the funds of our collegeThe Great Legacy to St. Catharine'shas dwindled down from $40,000 to $15,000 as I am told, and this latter sum [unclear] to give to the [unclear] city division. I see our friend Mr. Wood occasionally in the street but learn nothing of his success. It is doubtless very uphill work in these times, the caution of the state being now only twelve million, when last year at this time it was twenty million.[] Grace Church Rochester is in pecuniary difficultyabout a $4000 mortgage with an insurance company here in New York. I have been trying to help them. The company is easy to complain of bad insurance. The salary they have heretofore paid is $700.I do not think that Wood will leave Buffalo. His wife is here and very much better.We have nothing new in the city but the arrival of a reputed historianBishopunder the auspices of our Presbyterian brothers. His name is Max Johannes, I have not seen him. Await his introduction feeling it necessary to stand aloof from distinguished strangers for a while.I had a very pleasant visit to St. Paul's College Flushing on Sunday and was especially gratified by their church services. We made our way to see & hear an organ in Geneva CollegeHawks has a splendid establishment but there lies for him with the encumbrance of his primary. I undoubtedly am there to help. []".

8vo. pp. 88. disbound. First Edition. A sequel to Smith's Brief State of the Province of Pennsylvania (1755), in which he defends his position against published criticisms and continues his attack on the Quakers for their policy in the Assembly of refusing support to plans for the defence of the Province: "Before I conclude, I shall fully prove against the Assembly, that it is not Libelling of them, to say that they are a factious Cabal, effectually promoting the French Interest, and a dead weight upon his Majesty's Service. This, and every other Charge which is brought against them in the Brief State, I shall support with fresh and undeniable Evidence." (p. 9) Smith goes on to relate the Indian atrocities committed on the frontier settlements in October and November of 1755, the defeat of Braddock's expedition and Montcalm's capture of Oswego, and stresses the colony's helplessness in repulsing the French and their Indian allies.

8vo. pp. 45. lacking half-title. disbound. First Edition. "An attack on the Quakers for their policy in Assembly of refusing support to plans for the defense of the Province, and accusing them of influencing the ignorant German vote by improper means. The remedy suggested is the forcing of all members of the Assembly to take the oath of allegiance to the king, and disenfranchising the Germans until they should understand the language and constitution of the Province. Means of bringing about this education are outlined." (Sabin) Bell S347. Higgs 1251. Howes S-686. Sabin 84589. Streeter II 959. TPL 6420. cfCasey I 176 & cfJCB I 1082 (2nd Edn.).
