Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book transports readers to a fascinating era of rapid economic growth and innovation in the United States, focusing on the burgeoning world of banking in the early 19th century. The author meticulously details the emerging banking landscape, including the establishment of new banks, the introduction of new bank note designs, and the challenges posed by counterfeiters. Through a detailed bank note list, the author catalogues the banks in operation across the country and highlights those at risk of fraudulent activities. This insight provides a glimpse into the anxieties surrounding the burgeoning financial system and its susceptibility to forgery, a major concern at the time. The author also explores the intricacies of legal disputes surrounding counterfeit money, highlighting the legal complexities and the challenges faced by both citizens and authorities in combating counterfeiting.

PARIS, Les Belles Lettres , Revue des Etudes Grecques - 1970 - Année complète - Broché - In-8 - LVI - 593 pages - Ex. non coupé - Propre Présentation de la Revue:"La Revue des Études Grecques accueille des études concernant tous les aspects de la civilisation grecque, depuis l'époque mycénienne (2e moitié du IIe millénaire av. J.-C.) jusqu'à la période byzantine, en donnant la priorité aux grandes périodes de la littérature grecque (Ier millénaire av. n. ère et époque impériale). Elle donne la priorité aux études de littérature, à la philologie (histoire de la langue), à l'histoire de la pensée grecque (philosophie), à la pensée religieuse, et à l'histoire, en particulier à l'épigraphie grecque. D'autres disciplines peuvent être accueillies, comme l'archéologie, dès lors qu'elles sont en rapport avec la langue. " Livres.…

Both items in good condition, on aged and lightly-creased paper. Both written in a close and somewhat shaky hand, and addressed to 'Respected Sir'. Letter One: 8 July 1874. 3pp., 12mo. Bifolium. Bicknell explains that the 'widow of a bookseller, (R. G. Ibbett, who, for many years, dealt in original and rare works, in the City of London,) has in her possession the Psalms and Hymns of Dr. Isaac Watts, in his own handwriting (bound). This MS. was shown (together with a well-executed oil-painting of the Doctor,) to the late Dr. Pye Smith [(1774-1851)], Tutor at Homerton College, Hackney, thinking he might be induced to purchase them - the price asked for the Book and Portrait was £20.' According to Bicknell, Smith satisfied himself that the manuscript was genuine, by comparing it with 'some manuscripts he possessed of this gifted divine [.] and said, he had never heard, or believed, that Dr. Watts had written a second book of his Psalms and Hymns, therefore, he gave it as his opinion that it was his exclusive penmanship; and said, further, that he would have purchased both the MS. and the Painting of the Dr. but for his limited means, yet advised the bookseller not to dispose of them under easier terms, which appeared to him not above their value.' Bicknell describes three points of 'peculiar originality about the manuscript', before turning to the painting, which is 'inclosed in a rich gilt carved frame, the Doctor being represented holding a book, on the back of which is a mottoe, [sic] selected from Ephesians iii.8.' Bicknell concludes by stating that Mrs Ibbett, who resides at 'No. 13, Llewellyn House, Bishop Road, Cassland Crescent, South Hackney', will part with the two items for the same sum at which they were offered to Smith. Letter Two: 4 September 1874. 2pp., 12mo. 'I am sorry to say, that I can furnish no other proof of the integrity of Dr. Watts' own hand-writing of his Psalms and Hymns than the MS. you have in your possession, relying, most unreservedly, on Dr. Pye Smith's judgment and veracity of statement; and, that when he compared it with the manuscripts he had at Homerton College, he was fully convinced that the M.S. book was written by himself, and no other person than Dr. Watts. [.] With respect to the genuineness of the Portrait persons might differ, without being able to assign good reason for their scepticism; but from numerous engravings, &c. I have seen of Dr. Watts. that the Oil Painting now submitted to you is his likeness, though it may be assumed taken in middle life'. He has been asked by Mrs Ibbett to state that 'it is only under needy circumstances that she is induced to dispose of the MS. and Portrait.' In a postscript Bicknell adds that 'Toplady's Hymns, in M.S., which, it is said, he used in his pulpit, (about 1740) in his own-handwriting, was disposed of for 18 guineas'. There is no indication that Morley purchased the two items. Athough previously respectable, the addresses given for Bicknell and Mrs Ibbett were by the time of writing both in notorious neighbourhoods, and although the two letters seem genuine, they may well represent an attempt at a confidence trick. It is not without interest that Bicknell is writing from Hackney on behalf of another Hackney resident, to a man born in Hackney. The National Portrait Gallery does not possess a painting of Watts corresponding to the one described in the first letter.…

Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Five volumes. Half red morocco with gilt stamped spines. Top edges gilt. Some wear to edges and corners; modest rubbing and light soiling to sides; foot of spine on two volumes scorched. Bit of cracking to leather at hinges. Marbled endpapers. Interiors are unmarked. Pages are clean with a few minor exceptions. Each volume includes profusion of fine portraits, each with a tissue guard. Thick 4to. Scarce. pp. 426, 425, 465, 404, 397. Five volumes of the 13 volume set of the Encyclopedia of Massachusetts: Biographical-Genealogical, each featuring the original 1916 title page which credits the American Historical Society's seven-member advisory committee headed by William Richard Cutter (1847-1918), who was also the corresponding secretary and historian of the New England Historic-Genealogical Society (NEHGS). [Later issued volumes featured an undated title page with the generic accreditation: ''Compiled with the Assistance of a Capable Corps of Advisers and Contributors''.] More than 2100 pages of Massachusetts biographies and family histories. The biographical entries are not arranged alphabetically, but a name index is provided at the conclusion of each volume. The publisher did not ascribe the set with unique volume numbers; each of these five volume are here identified by the first name that appears: 1 - Brackett, John Q. A. 2 - Dawes, Henry L. 3 - Guild, Curtis, Jr. 4 - Hoar, George Frisbie. 5 - Newton, James Hale. One of the members of the advisory committee was Eugene C. Gardner (1836-1915), a noted Massachusetts architect. He passed away in February 1915, well before the publication of the series. His obituary states that during his last three years he wrote 60 biographies for the project. …
