Notes:
Brand new. 6 volume set. Fine. Hardcover in shrink wrap. Reprint edition of Stokes' magnificent and comprehensive illustrated history of Manhattan. This sweeping survey, originally published over the span 1915 to 1928, is divided into two parts, with volumes one and two comprising the first. These initial volumes present historical summaries, followed by exquisite plates and thorough plate descriptions. Part two repeats this pattern in volume three; presents a detailed chronology of historical events and personages in volumes four and five; and concludes with an addenda, bibliography, and index to the entire work in volume six. Interspersed throughout are the maps, documents, photographs, engravings, illustrations, etc. that Stokes and his assistants assembled from countless original sources. The quality and scope of visual representations truly befits its vast subject, Manhattan. Those concerned with the legal aspects of colonial and New York history will be particularly interested in the wealth of material from original sources to be found throughout these six volumes. The historical chronologies and detailed descriptions are enhanced by the facsimile plates which portray records and documents showing charters, ordinances and proclamations, etc.; handbills, broadsides, surveys, plans, portraits and numerous illustrations relating to the legal history of New York from the "period of discovery" through the Dutch and English settlements and the Revolutionary and Civil Wars, reconstruction, industrialization through to the year 1909: the establishment of the municipal government and the New York legislature; court houses and public buildings; abolitionist clubs, meetings and riots; prisons, criminal punishments and court appeals; bank, insurance and financial institutions; various commissions and associations; bills of exchange and credit; the British and Continental Army; the Continental and U.S. Congress; Indian treaties, international treaties; ferry and water rights; laws, duties and licenses relating to gambling, liquor, and the lottery; as well as taxes, patents, trade and shipping; an extensive section covering original land grants and farms with maps and text of grants citing names of land holders; religious rights such as the first legal case of anti-Semitism; numerous cases regarding slavery and negroes; cases about women, such as the case of a woman who was whipped by order of the court; immigration and alien registration, real estate holdings, crime; legal printers such as William Bradford, John Peter Zenger and James Parker; the establishment of law schools and universities; national political personages such as George Washington, Abigail and John Adams, James Buchanan, Benjamin Franklin, Ulysses S.

Ioannis Miltoni Angli Pro Populo Anglicano Defensio, Contra Claudii Anonymi, Alias Salmasii, Defensionem Regiam

by John Milton
Condition: Used: Good		425.00
Pages: 330		In Stock: 1

Notes:
Londini: Typus Du Gardianis [Amsterdam: J. Jansson], 1651. First Edition, later issue. 12mo, recent marbled boards and endpapers, (xl) 330 pages, woodcut of Commonwealth arms at title page. Binding fine, text very firm, title page once detached and now on a stub, brief aging, few leaves with a few ink underlines, early ink notation on verso of title page, light foxing at few leaves at front and rear. Madan 9. One of a number of 12mo editions which followed the 4to and folio initial printings in 1651; several of the smaller versions were done by Elzevir (in Amsterdam or Leiden), although all continued with the London credit of Du Gardianis. The copy in this lot is the only 12mo edition with 330 text pages. "Milton was inordinately proud of this work, which brought him European fame - or notoriety - because it was an officially commissioned and effective 'defense of the English people' against an attack on the new Republic by one of Europe's greatest scholars, the learned Claudius Salmasius. "If it proved nothing else, it proved that the Puritans, widely considered uneducated, had some real scholars on their side. Milton, as spokesman for his country, believed it to be a reasoned defense of regicide (the execution of Charles I in 1649), an eloquent defense of liberty, and his best work in prose" - William Riley Parker.
