[Mexican-American War] Taylor and his Generals. A biography of Major-General Zachary Taylor; and sketches of the lives of Generals Worth, Wool, and Twiggs; with a full account of the various actions of their divisions in Mexico up to the present time; together with a history of the bombardment of Vera Cruz, and a sketch of the life of Major General Winfield Scott ... Philadelphia, E.H. Butler & Co.; New York, Burgess, Stringer & Co. 1847. Gray printed wraps. 17.75 cm x 11 cm. Illustrated. Map. 326 [8 ads] pp. [3] p. of the publisher's advertisements on endpapers and back cover. Covers separated, chipped; corners bent and bumped; water spots; scattered light foxing. Good.
Dorothy Sloan calls the second edition in wrappers, with 326 pages
"rare." See Catalog 24, No. 435. The first edition with 318 pages was published the same year as the second edition of 325 pages. See Haferkorn, The War With Mexico 1846-1848 p. 68. According to Garrett, The Mexican-American War of 1846-1848 p. 269 the text of the second edition is unchanged from the first edition, however that is not the case for the copies with 326 pages. This copy is "Butler's Cheap Edition," in wraps with 326 pages and lacking the "Price Twenty-five Cents" at the bottom of the cover of the second edition with 325 pages.
The text differs from that of the First edition, with a different frontispiece and adding approximately 9 pages of new material beginning at p. 317. The text of the last page of this issue also differs from the Library of Congress copy with 326 pages. It appears this text may be earlier than some versions as it discusses events in May but omits reference to events of August mentioned in the LOC copy. The text also differs substantially from a copy with 326 pages reproduced on archive.org that adds approximately 6 additional pages of details at the end and lacks the 8 pages of ads. From this information, it appears that the publisher up-dated the text at least three times and completely reset the type at least once in the later editions to incorporate new material not mentioned in the bibliographies-

Samuel Harrison Smith, Washington, DC, 1809; Folio (12 1/2 " x 19"), two pages (single leaf printed front and back). Samuel Harrison Smith’s National Intelligencer newspaper for Friday, May 19, 1809, with a lengthy front page letter over three full columns in length by John Adams addressed to the publishers of the Boston Patriot News in response to a recently published criticism. In it Adams recounts in minute detail his reasoning and corresponding actions with respect to the 1799 diplomatic mission to France undertaken by his team of representatives, which eventually resulted in the Convention of 1800 or "Treaty Of Montefontaine," ending America’s Quasi-War with France, which was initiated by Talleyrand’s 1796 order allowing for the seizure of American merchant ships. In the letter Adams reveals that his original choices for the diplomatic team were Chief Justice Oliver Ellsworth, Patrick Henry, and Williams Vans Murray, Minister to the Netherlands at the time.

Description:
Excellent condition, but missing the original map that was originally included. 11 fine chromolithographic and 11 lithographic plates. Publication of this report was originally intended for 1861, but the Civil War intervened and prevented publication for another fifteen years. The expedition under Macomb went west from Santa Fe across northern New Mexico and Arizona to the Colorado. The whole drainage of the San Juan had been traced and the relationship of that river with the Colorado clearly established. More important, they had also established that the Green River united with the Grand to form the Colorado. The entire maze of intricate canyon country had been threaded, and its geography revealed for the first time. In addition, Newberry was able to establish numerous stratigraphic columns, and to trace the Triassic, Jurassic, and Carboniferous strata far out across the Colorado River. Newberry.introduced a new level of sophistication into the study of western geology.
