Very rare! Complete issue of this newsletter, or magazine (Issue No. 165). "From Thursday, August 4 to Thursday August 11, 1653." Mercurius Politicus was a newsletter published weekly from June, 1650 until the English Restoration in May, 1660. Under the editorship of Marchamont Nedham, it supported the republican governments. This was Nedham's most significant enterprise, which he used as a platform for the Commonwealth regime. The newsletter began in June, 1650 and settled into a serious vein as a voice of the republican movement of the day. The newsletter continued for the next decade, the term of the Commonwealth era, under alternative titles like the Public Intelligence or Public Intelligencer. In 1655 the Lord Protector, Oliver Cromwell, rewarded Nedham with an official post, so that…

New York: D. Appleton-Century Company, 1939 Book. Fine. Hardcover. First edition. xiv, [2], 649pp. 16 illustrations and 9 maps; appendices, bibliographical notes, index. Blue cloth lettered in gilt. A fine copy. A distinguished biography in which the author skillfully weaves the two elements that made Frémont the man he was, "sometimes succeeding so dazzlingly and at other times failing so abysmally." This work is not simply an abridged version of his earlier two-volume work published in 1928. As Nevins states in his preface, "This volume is essentially a new life of John Charles Frémont. It is new in much of its materials, embodying fresh research by myself, and the results of a decade of work..." The appendices include "Frémont's Children," "Corruption in St. Louis, 1861," and "E. M. Kern's Letter.".

Holliday. 67pp. Portrait, facsimile; illustrations of Death Valley from photographs by Ansel Adams. Folding route map by Robert Becker. A fine copy. Designed and printed by Lawton and Alfred Kennedy. Nusbaumer, unlike most gold-seekers, traveled an unknown trail to California and, along with his fellow travelers, found himself lost. He was with Manly and the group that attempted the "short-cut" through the desert that, because of their experience, became known as Death Valley. This is the first time that Nusbaumer's firsthand, on-the-spot account has been published. It is the only extant journal carried out of Death Valley on the epic trek. His diary provides an important complement to Manly's better-known reminiscence, Death Valley in '49. "Nusbaumer's diary provides the only firsthand account of the party." (Mintz). [Kurutz: 470;…
