Hudson, N.Y.: Sampson, Chittenden & Croswell, 1802. Good. An 8-page weekly newspaper (pages 201-208). Disbound (removed from a bound volume). 29cm. Later horizontal fold. Leaves separating at fold. Includes this brief note on page 206: "Authentic intelligence is received, via Norfolk, that the negroes in Hartford [probably Hertford?] County, N. C. were embodied on the 10th inst and under arms ; and that they had committed great havoc. In short, the whites throughout the state are much alarmed." This uncommon newspaper ceased publication in 1807 and is perhaps most remembered for its early use and definition of the word cocktail in one of their 1806 issues.

Hudson, N.Y., 1804. [8] pp. printed in three columns. 4to. Old fold lines. Minor soiling and toning. Very good. In a tan half morocco and cloth folder, spine gilt. [8] pp. printed in three columns. 4to. A single issue of this Upstate New York weekly newspaper, which began publication in 1801.  This issue contains the text of President Jefferson's Message to Congress of Nov. 8th.  In his speech, Jefferson discusses relations with foreign powers, including the Delaware and other Indian tribes the Louisiana Purchase; the United States Navy; and the federal budget.  Critical of Jefferson, Croswell would later be tried for libel and defended before the Supreme Court by Alexander Hamilton.  The publication of this weekly newspaper would continue through 1807.

1806. Hudson, (New York), 1806. Small folio (30,4 x 23,7 cm). The entire May 13th issue, consisting of four leaves, with a blue marbled paper back-strip housed in magnificent custom-make full morocco box of Prussian Blue goatwith a morocco-onlay of an iconic cocktail-glass on the front board. The cocktail-glass is richly gilt with a geometric pattern in art-deco-like style and with an onlay of turquoise green representing and olive, with a black stick through it. Black lettering ("THE FIRST COCKTAIL") to the spine and the year "1806" turquise to the foot. Beautiul light blue- and gold patterned silk-lining to the inside. A bit of brownspotting and some of the print a bit vague, due to the paper quality. Exceedingly scarce first printing of the May 13th 1806-issue of "The Balance and Columbian Repository", in which we find the very first published definition of the word cocktail, the earliest reference of the word "cocktail" as we know it. This seminal issue of the now rather obscure paper… Read More
