This is a previously unknown issue of the second edition (though styled Third Edition on the title page) of the first work dedicated to baseball outside of by-laws for baseball clubs. An excellent copy of one of the seminal works on baseball. This copy is quite possibly unique as it was published in New York, not in Boston as other known copies of this work had been. It was issued by C. F. A. Hinrichs, a sporting goods dealer in New York. The last leaf is a catalogue of items for sale by Hinrichs, primarily for cricket, but also including baseball equipment. OCLC locates only 2 copies (Baseball Hall of Fame, Columbia University) of the 1860 edition of this work, both published in Boston. Those copies are shown with only 34 pages, thus not including the last leaf present here. The 1859 edition was also published in Boston. It represents a transitional rule book containing guidelines for both the “Massachusetts Game” and the “New York Game”  as well as listing officers and clubs in both New York and New England Baseball Associations. The game ultimately evolved towards the “New York” game from the rules which were developed  in different parts of the country, this process being greatly accelerated by the intermingling of soldiers from different parts of the country during the Civil War.  The discovery of a New York issue of this guide is important given the divide between advocates of the New York rules and the Massachusetts rules. This first publication outside of Boston is evidence of the growing level of interest and involvement in the growth of the game in New York. $20,000.00

137) (Manuscript) Fraser, John Smith, Order Book - 1838-1849. New York: 1836-46. Folio, thick ledger, with extensive information from a maker of clothing for men. Approximately 100 leaves, of over 400, have been used.  While this firm name does not appear on a preliminary leaf as was the custom, it is highly likely that these ledgers originated with this company. The firm name appears in an article from the US Army Corps of Engineers Office of History which identifies this firm as originators of the Castle insignia which appeared on buttons and caps of the Engineering Corps. www.hq.usace.army.mil/history/insignia.htm The article has references both to John Smith and John Smith Fraser, in line with the “J.S.” initials on the ledger spine. This fits in perfectly with its military business described. The volume is filled with orders from active duty military officers for uniforms and accessories. These include orders from many figures who later became known as Civil War generals or leaders in the topographical engineers. At this point, most were only lieutanants or captains, recently out of West Point. There are many orders from officers at West Point, but there are also many orders which were to be delivered to officers at far-flung forts in Florida and the West. A partial list of the future (or current) generals whose names appear with orders for uniforms includes Sherman, Thomas, Halleck, Sykes, McDowell, Halleck, Reynolds, Scott, Bragg, Beauregard, McLaws, Garnett, and Longstreet. The topographical engineers listed include, but are not necessarily limited to, Stansbury, Fremont and Simpson. There are also hundreds of other officers listed who did not achieve later distinction. A great archive providing tremendous insight into the early careers and clothing needs of many leading military figures of the 19^th century.                                       $6,500.00

138) (Manuscript)  Frazer, John Smith, Order Book – 1837-1846. New York: 1837-1846. Thin folio ledger. ½ sheep with red morocco spine label entitled “Memo Book”. This is almost certainly records of the company John Smith Fraser, Clothing Warehouse at 122 and 124 Broadway, Corner Cedar St., in New York. (An 1841 NYC directory locates John Smith Fraser at 168 Pearl St.) This volume names this firm on two pages, and contains approximately 100 leaves of manuscript pages (with many more blank pages) which list orders for mens’ clothing. While most of the pages are undated, the earliest dated orders are from 1836, the latest from 1844. Almost all of the orders, complete with quantities and prices, come from companies or individuals in the Deep South, including many from Mississippi, Georgia, Alabama, and Louisiana. The entities purchasing these clothes would most likely be either clothing store owners or distributors, as the quantities ordered appear to exceed the ordinary needs of an individual. At least one page specifies “Negro Clothing” bound for Cheneyville, Louisiana (24 prs coarse bro linen pants, 12 prs coarse Russia Duck pants, 12 coarse bro linen Round jackets). This firm also had a considerable business in military uniforms. This is confirmed by 6 pages in the middle of the volume, dated 1847, which contain lists of military officers who were notified of being “appointed assignee”. Many of these officers, mostly captains and lieutenants, were stationed in Mexico, either at Vera Cruz or in Mexico City, at the time and include some (Lt. Col. J. C. Fremont, Col. J. J. Abert, Lt. J. F. Reynolds, Lt. Jno. Pope, among others) who would become famous for their activities in the Civil War or with the Topographical Engineers in the exploration of the West. These few pages tie in to the previous listing (item #137) as documentation of this firm’s business as an outfitter of Army officers. This is a very rare archive which illustrates the movement of manufactured goods, in this case finished clothing, from the North to the South, well before the Civil War.                   $6,500.00

This copy contains the 12 page “Tabla de los Capitulos” which contains a summary of the contents of each of the 211 chapters. A cornerstone for any Americana collection, this is the first-hand account by one of Cortez's soldiers, of the conquest of Mexico. It is one of the primary sources of information about Cortez's activities. Written around 1580, it existed only in manuscript form until edited by Alonso Remon, the Chronicler General of the Mercederian Order. Penrose: “Diaz wrote from the point of view of the man in the ranks, he had served as a junior officer throughout the campaign … There is nothing urbane or polished about Diaz’s Historia. It is the unadorned, day-to-day account of one of Cortes’s solders; its very simplicity and frankness give it a genuine flavor, which together with the great events it depicts, makes it one of the most powerful and stirring solder’s narratives ever written.” A fine copy of one of the classic works of Americana.
