[Welles & Gillette] Broadside. Certificate of Record for the family of Stephen H. Thayer from The Doomsday Book of the State of New York. Founded 1860. Entered According to an Act of Congress, in the Year 1860, by Albert Welles, in the Clerk's Office of the District Court of the Southern District of New York. Welles & Gillette, No. 20 Cooper Institute, New York. Lithography by George Hayward, 171 Pearl Street, New York. This is a rare surviving full-page Certificate of Record (23 in x 17 ¾ in) from The Doomsday Book of the State of New York for the family of Stephen H. Thayer, signed by him December 24, 1860, official seal still attached, Volume I, No. 51. The Certificate also bears the counter signature of Welles & Gillette.

According to the prospectus published and circulated by Welles & Gilette, the purpose of this latter-day Doomsday book was: "So those who desire to be known and remembered by their posterity; So those whose wealth and position induce them, for the benefit of their descendants, to place on record a correct register of their families; So those rightful heirs unable to establish their claims to estates clearly their own …". The most striking features of this extraordinary document are a lithographed view of New York as an early Dutch settlement at the top and the facsimile signatures of the most illustrious citizens of the State and City of New York, which fill up half the area of the broadside, beginning with Millard Fillmore, Hamilton Fish, Peter Cooper, Edward Everett, John A. Dix, James W. Beekman, I. Van Buren, et alia. Condition is fair, as the broadside is housed in a heavy transparent sleeve, and is in an unrestored state. No other copies of the Certificate of Record for the Family of Stephen H. Thayer, Vol. I, No. 51 has been located.

Only one copy of a blank Certificate of Record was found at the New York Historical Society, which also has a very rare surviving copy of Welles & Gillette's prospectus. See also: The Home Journal, December 1, 1860; The World, December 11, 1860; The Morning Courier and New York Enquirer, November 20, 1860. Most useful: Report of the Meeting of the New York Historical Society Held Tuesday, November 6, 1860.

Description:
1822 Famous 2ed David Porter Journal USS Essex Battle of Valparaiso War of 1812

David Porter was an early American naval captain who served on the USS Constitution and the USS Essex. While aboard the Essex, Porter faced significant hardships, including the Battle of Valparaiso where the ship was ultimately disabled. Porter kept a journal of his time aboard the Essex, a journal that was quickly published after capture of the Essex.
According to Hill, the second of Porter's 'Journal' is the "best edition" and is more complete even than the first. In fact, this edition contains the first instance of the details of Porter's loss of the USS Essex in 1814. This edition also includes an expanded preface as well as folding maps and notes and illustrations on the Galapagos Islands.

Protected by Brodart book jacket cover.LBJ noted about this book, "I make no pretense of having written a complete and definitive history of my Presidency. I have tried, rather, to review that period from a President's personal and political philosophy, a President's experience and knowledge, a President's aspirations, and a President's response to the demands that were made on him." I have not written these chapters to say' This is how it was," but to say, "This is how I saw it from my vantage point."
