With the Proceedings of Those Several Colonies and the Accidents that befell them in all their Journyes and Discoveries. Also the Maps and Descriptions of all those Countryes, their Commodities, people, Government, Customes, and Religion yet knowne. Divided into Sixe Bookes. London: Printed by J. Dawson and J. Havilland for Michael Sparkes, 1624. Small folio (292 x 181 mm). Engraved title (Burden’s 1st state), 4 engraved maps, comprising ‘Virginia’ (10th state), ‘Ould Virginia’ (Burden’s 4th state), ‘Bermuda’ (Sabin’s 3rd state), ‘New England’ (Sabin-Church-Burden’s 9th state, thus likely inserted from another copy), early manuscript annotations and manicules; The title lightly soiled and toned with some nicks and minor paper repairs at margins, the contents with occasional light soiling, some minor nicks at tears at the edges of a few leaves, a 19th century manuscript note on the added blank leaf after p. 96 relating to the called-for irregularities in pagination, a closed tear in leaf A4, marginal paper repairs to a few leaves (R1, Bb1, Bb2), leaf Dd2 remargined at gutter, the maps generally clean, a few creases, three maps remargined, and with a few expert paper repairs along edges, a complete copy with no losses to the printing. Nineteenth-century polished tan calf, gilt ruled border, edges, and turn-ins, spine with six compartments double-ruled in gilt, gilt armorial supralibros of the Musgrave family to boards, all edges gilt, the binding by “Lewis,” likely London bookbinder Charles Lewis (1786-1836), according to a note recording the purchase of volume and cost of binding on the blank opposite the title; expertly rebacked to style, corners lightly refurbished, the gilt supra libros slightly rubbed, a few faint scuffs and pale stains to boards. "The first sizeable work written in English about the new-found continent… it remained a standard work, the foundation of England's knowledge of America during the early period of colonization" (Printing and the Mind of Man, 124). The rare 1624 first edition, first issue of The Generall Historie, with all the maps. This seminal work, Smith’s magnum opus, is one of the foundational sources for information about the English settlements in America and Bermuda. It was partly compiled from Captain John Smith’s four earlier reports on the colonies in Virginia and New England, all of which are very rare. The text covers his time in Virginia (1606-1609) through his exploration of New England (1610-1617), and it contains Smith’s eyewitness accounts of the founding of the English Colony at Jamestown, as well as his capture by the King of Pamaunkee and subsequent rescue through the intercession of Pocahontas. The Generall Historie is divided into six books: the first contains accounts of the first settlement of Virginia and the subsequent voyages there to 1605; the second is Smith’s description of the country and its Indian inhabitants; the third recounts Smiths voyage and the settlement of Jamestown from 1606 to 1609; the fourth continues Virginia’s history from 1609 to 1623, including the planting of Point Comfort; the fifth is the history of the English settlement in the Bermudas (here called The Summer Isles); and the sixth contains the history of New England from 1614 to 1624. This is an early impression of the text, with “thir” for “their” on the last line of p. 90, but “digression relacing “degression” in the shoulder note on page 119. All copies lack pp. 97-104 (signature O) – according to Henry Stevens, the manuscript was given to two printing houses to be put to type, evidenced by the variations in initial letters and the style of the headings, and there was miscalculation in the number of leaves that the first portion would take up. The maps are among the most important in American history. For example, “Virginia,” which appears in editions of both Purchas’ and Smith’s histories, was the prototype for maps of the area for the next half century (Burden, 213). “New England” was, “the foundation map of New England cartography, the one that gave [New England] its name and the first devoted to the region” (Burden, 187). While some copies include portraits of Princess Frances and Pocahontas, there is disagreement as to whether they are called for – they may have been inserted sometime in the late nineteenth or early twentieth century, in line with the book collecting fads of the time.

Adams, John Autograph letter signed (“Your affectionate father John Adams”), 3 pages (246 x 200 mm) on a bifolium of laid paper (watermarked posthorn), Quincy, 12 March 1802, to his son Thomas Boylston Adams, reception and file dockets on verso of second leaf; a few short tears along bottom margins and fore-edge of first leaf, light browning and traces of guard mount on blank verso of second leaf. An extraordinary letter—both academic and affectionate—by the second president to his youngest son, offering Thomas advice on his budding legal career, analyzing common law and natural rights, and reminiscing about his own participation in the development of the Declaration of Independence. In a letter of 3 March 1802, Thomas Boylston Adams consented to his father’s suggestion that he study common law—with the stipulation that John Adams assist him with the task. Thomas also noted his satisfaction with U.S. district judge Alexander Addison’s statement that the common law arose from the laws of nature and dictates of God. In this response, John Adams reassures his son, a fledgling lawyer in Philadelphia, that he should not misconstrue a suggestion made in an earlier letter as his setting a chore or criticizing his practice: “I recd. last night, your Letter of the 3d.—It was far from my thoughts to assign you a task. I meant only to turn your mind to a Subject, which must necessaryly engage much of your contemplations, as long as you live. The Folc Right [i.e, folkright, the aggregate of rules, some unwritten, that express the juridical consciousness of the people at large, a concept dating back to the Anglo-Saxon period], the Peoples Right, the common law, is the natural, Inheritance of Us all. It is our Birth Right.” Adams, far more widely read than any public man of his day, insisted that no statesman could act wisely without a deep understanding of the principles of government and the nature of man (Elkins & McKittrick, The Age of Federalism, p. 530). He recognized, however, that these natural rights could be misinterpreted by the common public, and that a thorough and applied reading of the law would allow those in the profession to become conversant with the principles governing personal and political liberty. As he explained to Thomas, “But precious as it is, and dear as it ought to be to all our hearts, it is likely to be a subject of controversy in this country, untill an examination of it, on a large Scale, Shall be undertaken and accomplished by you or Some other, whose Industry may be equal to the Subject.” Yet Adams deprecates his own ability to help his son in this course of study: “The assistance to be expected from me, must be very Small. I have Scarcely a Law Book of any kind left in my office. It is almost 30 Years since I abandoned my Office and Law Library, and now I have none. My Recollections of the contents of Law Books, you may well Suppose to be very faint confused and incorrect.” (Adams’s involvement in politics and the rigors of the judicial circuit—the radius of his travels comprised more than 200 miles in all directions, taking him as far as Martha's Vineyard and the reaches of Maine—decided him to abandon his practice altogether in the 1770s. Oddly enough, about a fortnight after penning this letter to Thomas, Adams wrote several friends that he was toying with the idea of resurrecting his practice.) But despite this display of modesty, Adams does not stint on advising his son of the pragmatic steps necessary to make a success at the law. “A Lawyer, Should have in his Desk, or Bureau, more pidgeon holes, than a Coiner of constitutions. In these he should deposit, in exact, numerical or Alphebetical order, all the Effects of his Researches into moot Points, as well as the States of his Cases and his notes of Arguments or Authorities relative to them. One of these Apartments in your Scrutoire or your Case or Drawers for writings you may dedicate to the common Law, and fill it up with your disquisitions as Slowly or as Swiftly as you please.— And if it Should be growing upon you at intervals for fifty Years; instead of injuring your mind body or estate, it may be of great benefit to the first and last, at least. Hæc Olim meminisse juvabit.— Indocti discant, et ament meminisse periti. The Plan indeed is vast, and will require a long time: but nothing presses for haste. The United States and the State of Pennsylvania are now within your reach. See what progress you make in ascertaining the common Law in them. You may pursue the Clue when you shall have Seized it, into other States at your Leisure.” The encouraging Latin epigram Adams provides is a hybrid, with the initial phrase taken from the first book of the Aeneid (“Some day, perhaps, remembering even this will be a pleasure”), while the second (“Let the unlearned learn, and let the experienced love to remember”) is a motto traditionally, if erroneously, attributed to Horace that appeared on the title-page of an anthology Adams was then reading, Jean François de La Harpe’s Lycée; ou, Cours de littérature ancienne et modern (16 vols. in 19, Paris, 1799–1805). Despite his earlier claim that his “Recollections of the contents of Law Books [is] very faint confused and incorrect,” John Adams recommends a number of specific texts by classic jurists for Thomas’s study of common law: “Judge Addisons thoughts may be of Use to you: but figures of Spech are not always Science of Law. Passion Politicks and Eloquence Should always be Studied with diffidence and Jealousy in discussions of Laws and Government. Avail yourself however of every thing that can afford you any light. “Lord Chief Justice Hale, wrote a Book under the Title of An History of the common Law I had it, and Suppose you have it now among my Law Books that I lent you. In this Work, an Octavo Volume well worth your reading, you will find much perhaps to your purpose. Fortesque Aland’s Reports You have among my Books. In a Preface to that Work there is much concerning the Saxon Language and the Saxon Folc Right. Ther is the best Deffinition, or description, or History if you will of the common Law, in that Preface, which I remember to have read. Blackstone took his Account of the common Law from that preface. Reeves’s History of the Law will probably assist you.” John Adams’s familiarity with these texts was well earned. He contracted to read law with James Putnam of Worcester in August 1756 for a period of two years. Once his studies were completed, he moved back to Braintree where he continued to prepare for the bar. In between chores on his father's farm, he translated Justinian and slowly read (by his own admission), Sir Geoffrey Gilbert's dense Treatise of Feudal Tenures (McCullough, John Adams, pp. 42–43). After his interview with Jeremiah Gridley, the dean of the Boston bar, Adams was invited to read in Gridley's law library. Shortly thereafter in November 1758 Gridley sponsored Adams's admission to the bar. After his admittance, Adams forged on with his rigorous reading regimen. The burgeoning success of his practice spurred an interest in assembling a legal library of the first degree. In a diary entry dated 30 January 1768 he records that he is "mostly intent at present upon collecting a library and I find that a great deal of thought and care, as well as money, are necessary to assemble an ample and well chosen assortment of books" (Diary and Autobiography of John Adams, I:337). McCullough states that for Adams, like Jefferson, "books [were] an extravagance he could no longer curb (with one London bookseller he had placed a standing order for 'every book and pamphlet, of reputation, upon the subjects of law and government as soon as it comes out'" (McCullough, John Adams, p. 64). His library, comprising some 3,500 volumes, is now housed at the Boston Public Library. Of these, 254 volumes are legal treatises, including four of the works mentioned in the letter to Thomas, some of which are found in multiple editions. A copy of Sir Matthew Hale’s Historia Placitorum Coronæ, perhaps distinct from the copy given to Thomas, is part of the collection. Fortescue Aland's Reports bears Adams's ownership inscription and is dated 1770. Reeve's History of the Common Law not only contains Adams's signature but also that of Thomas Boylston's son John Quincy (dated 1853) and the bookplate of another grandson, Charles Francis Adams. Adams also owned two editions of Blackstone's famous Commentaries as well as a set of his law tracts which survive in the collection. Adams at last recommends some his own writings to his son, staking a claim for having provided “the rough materials of the Declaration of Independence.” Adams later chafed at the idea that his Declaration of Rights was overlooked as the cornerstone of the Declaration of Independence, having been eclipsed by Jefferson's authorial contributions. In his own copy of his Discourses on Davila, which recognized the dangers of an unbalanced democracy then unfolding in France, he privately fumes in an annotation: “The Declaration of Independence of 4 July 1776 contained Nothing but the Boston Declaration of 1772 and the Congress Declaration of 1774. Such are the Caprices of Fortune. This Declaration of Rights was drawn by the little John Adams. The mighty Jefferson by the Declaration of Independence 4 July 1776 carried away the glory both of the great and the little.” In a less agitated mood, he here informs his son, “If you look into the Journal of Congress for 1774 you will find a Declation [sic] of the Rights of the Colonies and another of the Violations of those Rights— These declarations or Lists were drawn up by two Committees. I was one of the first Committee and drew up the Report. in this you will See, not only the rough materials of the Declaration of Independence made two years after, but you will See in what Light the common Law was Seen by that Congress and by all America at that time. Extracts from these Journals, Should go into your common Law Pidgeon hole. There is a public printed declaration of the Town of Boston Some time anteriour to the meeting of the first congress which will deserve your Attention.” A footnote to this letter in The Adams Papers explains that “The Declaration of Rights and Grievances was adopted by the Continental Congress on 14 Oct. 1774 and listed ten rights that the Congress determined all colonists held, including the right ‘to life, liberty, and property.’ It also detailed recent parliamentary acts that were deemed ‘infringements and violations of the rights of the colonists’ and noted the pending implementation of a trade boycott and the preparation of an address to the inhabitants of Britain and ‘a loyal address’ to George III. [John Adams] successfully argued that the document should emphasize the relatively unassailable tenets of natural law over the more tenuous and variable precepts of common law. To support his claim [Adams] pointed to the Nov. 1772 resolutions of the Boston committee of correspondence, which listed grievances against Parliament and detailed colonists’ constitutional rights as Britons. The resolutions were published as The Votes and Proceedings of the Freeholders and other Inhabitants of the Town of Boston, Boston, [1772]” (Evans12332; ESTC W29680). Adams concludes the letter with an admonition regarding Thomas’s safekeeping of their correspondence, “I can keep no Copies of my Letters to you and therefore I pray you to keep them Safely or to burn them, that they may not fall into the hands of the Ennemy of all good.” Thomas Boylston Adams, third son and youngest surviving child of John and Abigail (Smith) Adams, was born 15 September 1772. He graduated from Harvard in 1790 and studied law in the Philadelphia office of Jared Ingersoll for three years. He was admitted to the bar in 1793 but embraced the practice of law with far less enthusiasm than his father or siblings. When the opportunity arose in 1794 to serve as secretary to his brother John Quincy on the latter's first diplomatic mission to The Hague, he seized the moment, returning to Philadelphia four years later in the middle of his father's presidency. While his parents would have preferred him to settle in Quincy, they both recognized that Philadelphia offered more opportunities for a young lawyer with a recognizable name, but both evidently doubted their son's ability to succeed in the fast world of the capital (Ferling, John Adams, p. 388). He practiced law and contributed to Joseph Dennie's Port Folio in Philadelphia for some years thereafter. He was still in Philadelphia struggling with his practice in 1802. At the urging of his parents, he moved back to Quincy in 1803 and opened a law office there (Ferling, John Adams, p. 420) and sat in the Massachusetts legislature, 1805-1806. In 1811 he was appointed chief justice of the circuit court of common pleas for the southern circuit of Massachusetts. In spite of his participation in government and judicial appointment, Thomas's law practice never equaled the success of his father's. In later years Thomas sank into alcoholism like his brother Charles before him; and by the 1820s Thomas was employed chiefly as a caretaker for his father and the farm. He died 13 March 1832, in Quincy. REFERENCE The Adams Papers, Adams Family Correspondence, ed. Woodward, Martin, Minty, et al., 15:185–188

M'Lean, 1788 2 volumes, 12mo (162 x 99 mm [vol. 1]; 159 x 95 mm [vol. 2]). Volume 1 from the library of Bushrod Washington, with his signature on title-page (ruled through but legible) and ownership cipher on leaf B1 (an inked W added to the printed quire letter B), subsequently signed by Washington's brother-in-law, Henry Smith Turner at head of title-page (just shaved), scattered marginalia in pencil, attributing authorship of some essays, ink notation in margin of p. 1:105 (possibly in Bushrod Washington’s hand). Volume 1 bound in early American marbled sheep, smooth spine elaborately gilt-tooled and -ruled with gilt-lettered brown morocco title and volume labels, yellow-coated endpapers, brown sprinkled edges; joints and head and foot of spine neatly restored. Volume II in a brilliant near-twin retrospective binding. A fine association copy of the rare thick-paper first edition of The Federalist, with the ownership signature of Bushrod Washington in the first volume, a delegate in the Virginia Ratification Convention, and Associate Justice of the Supreme Court whose tenure helped shape the federal judiciary and national government. Written as expedient political propaganda for the purpose of supporting New York's ratification of the Federal Constitution, the essays in The Federalist are now recognized as one of America's most important contributions to political theory and a "classic exposition of the principles of republican government" (Bernstein). Alexander Hamilton was the principal force behind the entry of "Publius" (the pen name shared by all three authors) into the ratification pamphlet wars, but he enlisted Virginian James Madison and fellow New Yorker John Jay as collaborators. Each was assigned an area corresponding to his expertise. Jay naturally assumed responsibility for foreign relations. Madison, knowledgeable in the history of republics and confederacies, wrote on those topics. Having drafted the Virginia Plan, it also fell to him to outline the structure of the new government. Hamilton took on those branches of government most congenial to him: the executive and the judiciary; and he also covered military matters and taxation. In the printers' preface, the M'Leans state that their intention was to assist "the public judgment on the momentous question of the Constitution of the United States, … promote the cause of truth, and lead to a right judgment of the true interests of the community." At the time of the writing of the essays, Hamilton and Madison "were so close in style and outlook that scholars find it hard to sort out their separate contributions" (Chernow, Alexander Hamilton, p. 251). The Library of Congress attributes with certainty fifty-one essays to Hamilton, fifteen to Madison, and five to Jay, three to Hamilton and Madison together, and nine as being written by either Hamilton or Madison. The first thirty-six Federalist papers were collected and published by the M'Lean brothers in March 1788, and the final forty-nine—together with the text of the Constitution, a roster of its signers, and the resolution submitting it to the consideration of Congress—followed in a second volume two months later. In fact, the final eight essays were printed in book form before they appeared serially in newspapers. George Washington, who would shortly chair the Constitutional Convention, praised the collection of essays in a letter to Hamilton, 28 August 1788: "As the perusal of the political papers under the signature of Publius has afforded me great satisfaction, I shall certainly consider them as claiming a most distinguished place in my library. I have read every performance which has been printed on one side and the other of the great question lately agitated (so far as I have been able to obtain them) and, without an unmeaning compliment, I will say that I have seen no other so well calculated (in my judgment) to produce conviction on an unbiassed mind, as the Production of your Triumvirate. When the transient circumstances & fugitive performances which attended this crisis shall have disappeared, that work will merit the notice of Posterity; because in it are candidly discussed the principles of freedom & the topics of government, which will be always interesting to mankind so long as they shall be connected in Civil Society" (Papers, Confederation Series, ed. Abbot, 6:480–482). In 1825 Thomas Jefferson urged the adoption of The Federalist as a required text at the University of Virginia, describing it as "an authority to which appeal is habitually made by all … as evidence of the general opinion of those who framed, and of those who accepted the Constitution of the United States, on questions as to its genuine meaning." The significance of the work remains unchallenged: constitutional scholar Michael I. Meyerson wrote in his study that "The Federalist not only serves as the single most important resource for interpreting the constitution, it provides a wise and sophisticated explanation of the uses and abuses of governmental power from Washington to Baghdad" (Liberty's Blueprint: How Madison and Hamilton Wrote the Federalist Papers, Defined the Constitution, and Made Democracy Safe for the World, 2008, p. ix). The Federalist—whose essays have "a timeless, trans-historical quality" (Bailyn)—is without question the most important commentary on the Constitution, the most significant American contribution to political theory, and among the most important of all American books. The present copy is one of the small number of copies printed on thick paper and is further distinguished by its provenance. Bushrod Washington, at 26, was elected in March 1788 to represent Westmoreland County at Virginia's ratification convention. The oldest son of George Washington's brother, he had recently begun his public career in the Virginia House of Delegates. A skilled attorney who studied law at William and Mary College and served under James Wilson, Bushrod became a staunch Federalist and supporter of the Constitution, influenced by his illustrious uncle. During the Virginia Ratification Convention in June 1788, Bushrod attended every session and played a crucial role in the narrow ratification victory. It is uncertain when Bushrod came into possession of this book, but is conceivable that it was around the time of the Virginia Ratification Convention. In the decade following the convention, Bushrod became a prominent attorney and was appointed to the Supreme Court by President John Adams in 1798, filling James Wilson's seat. Serving for thirty-one years, he was a key ally of Chief Justice John Marshall, contributing significantly to constitutional interpretation in landmark cases. Known for his judicial skill and steady temperament, Bushrod Washington's influence on American constitutional law remains notable.

Original Autograph Manuscript with Twelve (sic) Original Maps.” [New York, ca. 1875–1885] 20 pages (209 x 170 mm) written on the rectos only of twenty nearly consecutive leaves of blue-line wove paper (one intervening blank leaf, another leaf without manuscript text, bearing only a large tipped-on map), 9 of the text leaves with tipped-on or pasted-down maps or plans, 4 of these with over-slip maps illustrating changes in troop positions, for a total of 14 maps (maps range in size from 28 x 128 mm to 208 x 235 mm), the maps and plans are largely drawn or finished by hand on slips cut from a mauve lithographed topographical map of the battlefield, text with a number of seemingly immediate deletions and emendations, as well as a more formal, later revision in red ink affecting four pages, including the addition of an extensive paragraph (ca. 85 words) to the penultimate text page. Bound, with additional blank leaves, in early twentieth-century green buckram, front cover lettered in gilt as above. Half blue morocco slipcase, chemise. A moment-by-moment account of the first day of Gettysburg, the most famous—and arguably the most consequential—battle in American history, in the hand of one of the commanders of the victorious Union forces. Abner Doubleday (1819–1893) was a career officer in the United States Army, graduating from West Point in 1842. Commissioned as a lieutenant in the First Artillery Regiment, he served at Monterrey and Buena Vista during the Mexican-American War. Over the next decade he held various posts and saw action in the Southwest and Florida in various iterations of the American Indian Wars. Fortune, good or otherwise, found Doubleday, by then a captain, second in command at Fort Sumter to Major Robert Anderson when the South Carolina Militia artillery fired the first shots of the Civil War. Doubleday was the first to return cannonade, later writing in Reminiscences of Forts Sumter and Moultrie in 1860–’61 (New York: Harper & Brothers, 1876), “In aiming the first gun fired against the rebellion I had no feeling of self-reproach, for I fully believed that the contest was inevitable, and was not of our seeking. The United States was called upon not only to defend its sovereignty, but its right to exist as a nation. The only alternative was to submit to a powerful oligarchy who were determined to make freedom forever subordinate to slavery. To me it was simply a contest, politically speaking, as to whether virtue or vice should rule” (pp. 143–144). After Sumter was abandoned by the Union garrison, Doubleday continued to rise in rank as he served in the initial defenses of Washington, D.C., before leading troops in the Shenandoah Valley, and at Second Manassas, the Rappahannock River, Groveton (Virginia), South Mountain, Antietam, and Fredericksburg, after which he was promoted to major general of volunteers. Doubleday’s finest achievement in the Civil War came on 1 July 1863, when command of the First Corps fell to him after corps commander Major General John F. Reynolds was killed in the dawn of the battle. Leading 9,500 Union troops against ten Confederate brigades with almost twice that strength, the First Corps was obliged to retreat through Gettysburg and take up a defensive position on Cemetery Hill. Still, Doubleday’s men inflicted ferocious casualty rates on the rebels. “Gettysburg proved to be Doubleday's last major battle, however. He left the Army of the Potomac afterward, believing that Meade was planning to reorganize the army along political lines. … Humiliated by Meade's decision to replace him as corps commander, Doubleday resented Meade’s treatment of him [Meade gave permanent command of the First Corps to a more junior officer, Major General John Newton.] Before long he began to circulate rumors that Meade had planned to retreat after the second day of the battle. He repeated these charges in an appearance before the Joint Committee on the Conduct of the War in March 1864” (Simpson and Van Atta, in American National Biography). Although Meade was thought to dislike Doubleday, he likely passed him over for permanent command because of an inaccurate report by Major General Oliver O. Howard, commander of the Eleventh Corps that Doubleday’s First Corps broke first, causing the entire Union line to collapse. In retirement, Doubleday became a notable historian of the Civil War, publishing, in addition to numerous articles, three major monographs: Reminiscences of Forts Sumter and Moultrie in 1860–’61 (cited above), Chancellorsville and Gettysburg (New York: Charles Scribner’s Sons, 1882), and Gettysburg Made Plain: A Succinct Account of the Campaign and Battles with the Aid of One Diagram and Twenty-nine Maps (New York: The Century Co., 1888). His publications were intended in part to justify his own actions and undermine Meade’s decisions, and sometimes mired him in controversy. The present manuscript, however—running to some 1,800 words—is for the most part a straightforward and objective account, perhaps an early working draft later revised for publication. The account begins with a map showing the positions of the two armies at 6:00 a.m. after “The Confederate general A. B. Hill advances with two divisions of his Corps to take Gettysburg, which is only held by Buford’s division of Cavalry.” Doubleday further explains, “Pender’s division with 48 guns is back of Heth but is not represented in this map, as it would take up too much space.” The second entry is datelined 10:10 a.m. and describes the pivotal moment of day, again accompanied by a map, this one with an overlay: “Meredith’s brigade (commonly called the Iron Brigade) is ordered into the woods by the Corps Commander Genl. Doubleday who has ridden up from the rear of the column at Marsh Creek. “At this juncture Genl. Reynolds goes into the woods in advance of the troops and is killed. Genl. Doubleday has taken charge of the battle. “The Confederate general Heth sends two brigades under Archer and Davis to attack the Union forces. “A curious state of things now occurs for the left of each force folds around the right of the other. “The Union left is quite successful. It captures Archer and a great part of his brigade, but the two Union regiments on the right are flanked and ordered to fall back to the town by Genl. Wadsworth. The third regiment (the 147 N. Y.) is surrounded by the enemy and loses heavily. Hall’s battery being attacked by skirmishers also retires as its supports are gone. “Genl. Doubleday sends his reserve, the 6th Wisconsin regiment, to rescue the 147 N. Y. The 6th Wisconsin under Lieutenant Colonel Dawes goes forward to the attack. It is joined by two regiments of Cutler’s brigade under Col. Fowler; the 14 Brooklyn and the 95th New York, who were about to attack the same enemy.” The manuscript moves forward just twenty minutes, to 10:30 a.m., with the text explicating another map with an overlay. “The plate represents the 2d Wisconsin who led the attack against Archer taking charge of the prisoners in the woods. The three remaining regiments have crossed the stream and formed line of battle on the other side. “Fowler and Dawes advanced to attack Davis’ Confederate brigade the greater part of which rushes into a railroad cut for shelter. Here being assaulted in front and flank, most of them are captured. “Genl. Doubleday finding his immediate front clear of the enemy reforms his lines east of Willoughby’s Run. “A glance at the Map would naturally lead one to inquire why Hill did not at once advance his reserves and sweep away the small force opposed to him. The fact is[,] owing to the absence of Stuart’s cavalry[,] that the movements of the Union army were not known to Genl. Lee or his subordinates. Hill therefore did not know whether he would find 5000 men or 50,000 in his front.” The cartographically illustrated narrative advances to 2:45 p.m., by which time, O. O. Howard’s Eleventh Corps has joined the First Corps in the field. At this point, Doubleday’s disaffection with the aftermath of the battle begins to show slightly, though his tone remains largely sober and impartial. “Ewell's two divisions under Rodes and Early now make a furious attack against both the First and the Eleventh Corps. “As Hill did not move promptly to second Ewell the First Corps repulsed the attack at all points, resisting repeated assaults, driving back O'Neal's brigade on the North and capturing all but one regiment of Iverson's brigade on the West. Daniel's attack on Stone’s brigade soon after was also driven back. “The enemy were more successful in their advance against the Eleventh Corps which indeed was too far out. Barlow being badly wounded and his division left in an angle between Dole’s Confederate brigade on the North and that of Gordon on the northeast the right flank of the Eleventh Corps was turned and forced back.” After further details of the battle, Doubleday admits that his own men could no longer carry the fight forward. “The First Corps from its heavy losses was no longer in a condition to repel the advance of four large brigades under Pender which up to this time had not been engaged but which now came forward.” The retreat of the First and Eleventh Corps are detailed next, but without finger-pointing or blame being assigned by Doubleday: “The Eleventh Corps are overwhelmed by superior numbers and are almost entirely driven from the field back to the rallying point on cemetery Ridge. … General Doubleday orders the First Corps to retreat undercover of a severe artillery fire from Seminary Ridge.” The manuscript concludes with the ending of the first day of battle, “Genl. Hancock now turns over the command of the troops to Genl. Slocum and rides back to report the state of affairs to Genl. Meade. The latter leaves Taneytown and reaches the field of battle soon after midnight.” The striking maps and plans are precise and detailed, depicting the shifting battlefield almost minute by minute. The positions of infantry, cavalry and artillery of both the Union and Confederate armies are indicated by Doubleday in red, yellow, green, blue and black inks, with the movements of troops, and the names of commanders are clearly designated. A number of similar maps appear in Gettysburg Made Plain, and versions of five of the maps from the present manuscript are reproduced in Battles and Leaders of the Civil War.

Handsome, near-uniform, retrospective calf-backed marbled boards. First edition of the Ordinances of the fifth Virginia Revolutionary Convention at Williamsburg in May and June 1776, containing the Virginia Declaration of Rights, one of the most important and influential documents in American history, as well as the Virginia Constitution. Accompanied by the Proceedings and Ordinances for the fourth Virginia Revolutionary Convention begun on 1 December 1775 and ending 20 January 1776. The Ordinances record the legislative output of Virginia House of Delegates during the crucial period from 6 May to 5 July 1776, including the adoption of Virginia's Constitution—in which the state separately declared independence from Great Britain—and the election of Patrick Henry as the state's first governor. "When the convention adopted the new constitution on June 29, 1776, it transformed Virginia's political landscape by giving the people an unprecedented role in running their government" (CCC, p. 40). But the Virginia Declaration of Rights is the cornerstone of the Virginia Convention. "Written primarily by George Mason and adopted on June 12, 1776, the Virginia Declaration of Rights comprised, in the words of historian Gordon S. Wood [in The Creation of the American Republic], 'a jarring but exciting combination of ringing declarations of universal principles with a motley collection' of more specific legal customs that Americans had long prized. It began by stating that 'all men are by nature equally free and independent' and that 'all power is vested in, and consequently derived from, the people.' Because of this, 'a majority of the community hath an indubitable, inalienable, and indefeasible right to reform, alter, or abolish' their government whenever they deemed the current one 'inadequate.' The similarity between these phrases and those found in the Declaration of Independence was no coincidence. Jefferson eagerly drew on Mason's drafts as he composed his own text in Philadelphia. … Importantly, the Declaration of Rights did not grant the people their rights but rather guaranteed them. Since all power came from the people, their rights were not limited to what they chose to emphasize and write down at this particular moment" (CCC, pp. 37, 40). The sixteen points of the Declaration of Rights also allowed for the separation of the executive, legislative, and judicial branches of government; frequent free elections; elimination of hereditary offices; the right to trial by a jury of one's peers; reasonable bail; no cruel or unusual punishment; reasonable warrants for searches; freedom of the press; subordination of the military to civil authority; and freedom of religion. This final clause was introduced by James Madison: "That religion, or the duty to which we owe to our Creator, and the manner of discharging it, can be directed only by reason and conviction, not by force or violence; and therefore, all men are equally entitled to the free exercise of religion, according to the dictates of conscience; and that it is the mutual duty of all to practice Christian forbearance, love, and charity, towards each other." According to Lance Banning, Madison's contribution to the Declaration of Rights established "a standard that no society had ever recognized in its organic law" (in American National Biography). The 1776 Ordinances is very rare: ESTC records just a dozen institutions with copies, and Rare Book Hub cites only two other copies at auction in the last century, one in indifferent condition, the other the fine Dorothy Tapper Goldman Foundation copy that was bound with The Proceedings of the Convention of Delegates for the same session (achieved $685,500. The Proceedings and Ordinances for the fourth Virginia Revolutionary Convention are equally scarce. The delegates to that convention focused principally on improving the colony’s defenses as tensions had risen between the Virginia citizenry and militia and British and Loyalist troops. The convention enlarged the colony’s armed force from two to nine regiments, and, with the Committee of Safety, took additional steps to cooperate more closely with the other colonies and with the Continental, resulting in Continental troops being sent to reinforce the Virginians.
