Description:
Boston: Printed by Ford and Damrell, 1834. Pamphlet. 44p. pamphlet, neatly disbound, covers foxed. Buzzell was the professed leader of a group of Protestants who attacked and burned the Catholic convent in what is now Somerville, MA, in one of the landmark events of anti-Catholic persecution in New England. Austin describes the devastation of the riot and describes the anti-Catholic expression of bigotry as un-American. Buzzell is recorded as having later said, "The testimony against me was point blank and sufficient to have convicted twenty men, but somehow I proved an alibi, and the jury brought in a victory of not guilty, after having been out for twenty-one hours.

Description:
Los Angeles: The Ward Ritchie Press, 1954. Pamphlet. 26p., illustrated with a frontis facsimile of a surviving title page, the reprint in hand is softbound, an 8x5.5 inch pamphlet in blue-grey wraps, staple-fastened. Front cover has mild pressure-lines, both covers have a hint of sunning, an otherwise excellent exemplar: sound, clean, unmarked. Many remedies offered make sense to us herbalist new-agers, but here's an exception: for "Erysipelas. Sprinkle the face with the fresh blood of a black hen and tie to the neck a twig of broom. Tried and tested." Jose de La Rosa was the probable pressman responsible for this Sonoma production. The author, a Spaniard, is unknown. La Rosa's dedicatee would be general Mariano Guadalupe Vallejo, who preserved Zamorano's press, first located on the Monterey Peninsula, until it was again confiscated by a hostile Mexican government.

Description:
New York: the author, 1836. Letter. 8.5x10.5 inch sheet bearing eight lines hurriedly penned by Lenox to Mr. Hogan, two fold creases, one of the creases with a short split at the edge. Penciled notes at top and bottom edges by an autograph dealer. Lenox puts Hogan off fairly bluntly, noting that "Owing to my recent return to the city I find many matters demanding immediate attention, and I have therefore been obliged to decline seeing anyone. For the same reason I must make my reply to your communication very brief. I have within a few days made arrangements which will require all the funds I shall have under my control for some time to come; and it will not be in my power to lend the amount for which you apply. I am, Sir, your obedient J. Lenox." In 1839 Lenox inherited millions of dollars, empowering him to embark on the monumental collection that became the Lenox Library, later the New York Public Library.
