Item description from seller

Octavo, [blank], 24, [blank]. A good copy in the publisher's side-sewn wrappers. Front wrap perished, rear wrap holding on. Notable dampstain and attendant discoloration to the fore-edge throughout, though the discoloration barely approaches the text. SIGNED by Le Ray de Chaumont on the first bpank: "To James B. Murray, from the author." James Le Ray de Chaumont should not be confused with his famous father Jacques-Donatien Le Ray de Chaumont, who was one of the French "Fathers of the American Revolution," and a close friend of--and host to--Benajmin Franklin during Franklin's diplomatic trips to Paris. The son, born and raised in France, went to America in the 1780s, and purchased large tracts of land in far upstate New York. The towns of Le Ray and Chaumont, both in Jefferson County, are named for him. This address, given towards the end of his life, discusses a number of agricultural topics in rapid succession, and bears the hallmarks of a man drawing from the confidence of his long experience in farming. His signature is scarce, as is the pamphlet itself. The subjec tof hte inscription, James B. Murray, is not easy to track down, although someone of that name is mentioned in the archive of the Bronson Family, held at NYPL. Murray is named as one of a number of individuals who, along with the Bronsons, was involved in land speculation in Jefferson County in the 1820s. American Imprints 16883; Rink 1308. Not in Sabin.…

Store description

As a small, independent bookseller in Cleveland, Ohio, I deal in general used, rare, and antiquarian books, autographs, manuscripts, pamphlets, and personal and family papers in all subjects. My family has been in the antiquarian book business since 1971. Are you moving, downsizing, or doing some spring cleaning? Did you inherit or otherwise come into some old books? Or, maybe you've collected modern novels from the last thirty or fifty years. No matter what kinds of books you have, we'd love to take a look at them! We travel throughout Ohio, western Pennsylvania and New York, southern Michigan, and eastern Indiana, and will travel farther in some cases to look at whole libraries or even just a few particularly interesting books. Give us a call at (216) 352-3940 and we can talk more about the kinds of books you have.…
