Description:
New York: MAJOR GENERAL WINFRIELD SCOTT. At Vera Cruz March 25, 1847, 1847. Folio.  355 x 250 mm., [ 14 x 10 inches].  Handsome lithographic portrait printed in tone of black and highlighted with blue, yellow, white, and green wash.  Paper stock foxed and toned brown, a few chips at the corners; matted. Full length portrait in uniform on the battle field in Vera Cruz, the first crucial victory of the Mexican War that led to the capture and control of Mexico City and an end to the war.  An often times candidate for the Presidency, Scott was highly regarded as a military leader, and though a Southerner he became a confidant of Lincoln's during the Civil War.  From a historical point of views General Scott is considered one of the most important generals in American history. This is an important example of the production of inexpensive lithographic prints which illustrated the story of contemporary American history for the general public.  In his advertisements Currier labelled his company as… Read More

Description:
Stitched sheets.  155 x 100 mm., [6 x 4 inches].  [12] pp., in a neat, minute hand. Place and date in manuscript at head of the first leaf. Solomon Reed (1719-1785), graduated from Harvard in 1739. He served as minister of the North Congregational Church of North Middleborough from 1757 until his death.  He was the successor of Rev. Isaac Backus who served the Church from 1748 to 1756. This sermon offers Reed's views on election and predestination, recognizing the influence of the First Great Awakening on the Congregationalist churches of the time. He speaks to the more liberal ideas that man could be eligible for salvation and forgiveness of sins.  See: S. Hopkins Emery's "History of the Church of North Middleborough, Massachusetts, in Six Discourses," (Middleborough: 1876, pp.27-31).  The Pilgrim Society in Plymouth has some of Reed's manuscript sermons in their collection, along with a journal he kept from October 1743 to January 1745.
