(SPANISH WEST-INDIES) NUIX, JUAN

Reflexiones imparciales sobre la Humanidad de los Espanoles en las Indias. Madrid: D. Joachin Ibarra, 1782. lii, 315. Folio, contemporary red crushed morocco with gilt coat-of-arms of the King of Spain to upper cover and interlacing gilt fillet border, spine tooled in compartments, gilt-lettered green leather spine label, blue silk endpapers.

First Spanish edition (first published in Italian), large paper copy, of this significant work on the Spanish conquistadors and settlers in America from the writings of Raynal, Robertson and Las Cases. Las Casas, a Bishop stationed in Cuba, complained of the treatment of the Indians by the Spanish. “The author would have rendered a more important and honourable service to Spaniards if, instead of endeavouring to disculpate them from calumnies, not entirely without foundation, he had manifested to foreigners the useful measures which the Spanish Ministry were taking to remedy the abuses of their colonial government.” (Sabin) Light rubbing to boards; manuscript notation to verso halftitle and final leaf; otherwise an exceptionally bright copy of this work in very fine binding.

(CIVIL WAR, FORT SUMTER)

(LINCOLN, ABRAHAM)

(AFRICAN AMERICAN) DUNBAR, PAUL LAURENCE

Partially printed document, telegram, one page, Charleston, April 12, 1861, from W.B. Dinsmore, President of the Adams Express Company, to J.C. Babcock, New York, Treasurer of said company.

The telegram states: “Adams Ex. Bombardment of Sumter commenced this morning at day light and continued with activity on both sides through the day. Plant & I are looking on out of Harms reach.”

Creased in fourths; some minor soiling; otherwise fine.

At the beginning of the Civil War, The Adams Express Company was the foremost express delivery service in Washington. News of the bombardment at Fort Sumter was sure to signal great changes to the US Postal service and Dinsmore. Adams Express would later play an important role in the war, delivering abolitionist newspapers, acting as paymaster for the two armies, and even, on at least one occasion, smuggling runaway slaves. Eventually, in response to complaints, they were forced to split off a separate company, The Southern Express.

(MORMON) TEASDALE, APOSTLE GEORGE, attrib.

An extensive and rare archive belonging to the Apostle George Teasdale (18311907), a member of the Quorum of Twelve Apostles of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. The collection consists of 23 unpublished manuscript poems, 12 of which can be attributed to the rare handwriting of George Teasdale upon comparison to extant documents in private and institutional collections.

Teasdale served a number of missions in the church throughout Europe and the United Kingdom before being called in 1891 as President of the church’s Mexican mission. The archive has been examined by leading experts, who date a number of the manuscripts from the period of his service in Mexico. The manuscripts give a range of insight into the mind, faith and human side of this elusive leader. Many are of a personal nature, including a poem, “Have Courage, My boy, to say no” (“. . .In courage alone lies your safety/When you the long journey begin/your trust in a heavenly Father/Will keep you unspotted from sin/Temptations will go on increasing/As streams from a rivulet flow/But if you’d be true to your manhood/ Have courage, my boy, to say No!”); and “Look ever on the brightest side” (“Look ever on the brightest side/Tho’ clouds your sky o’er cast/Let cheering trope with you abide/The storm will soon be past. . .”) and “A Pen Picture,” a story in rhyme about the daughter of a farmer who weds a non-religious man and loses her faith.

These works, along with a number, perhaps in the hand of his wives’ or childrens’, constitute the largest single collection of the elusive leaders’ writings that are known to be extant, outside of the archives of the LDS Church History Library in Salt Lake City, Utah, according to Brent Ashworth, who has evaluated the archive.

Further information, including a scan of all of the documents, is available upon request.

BEFORE THE SALE Prospective buyers are strongly advised to personally examine any property in which they are interested before the auction takes place. Condition reports are usually available on request, on lots with a low estimate of $300 and above.

All lots are sold “AS IS” and without recourse and neither Leslie Hindman Auctioneers, Inc. nor its consignor(s) makes any warranties or representations, express or implied with respect to such lots.

The absence of any reference to the condition of a lot does not imply that the lot is in perfect condition or completely free from wear and tear, imperfections or the effects of aging. No statement, whether written or oral, and whether made in the catalogue, or in supplements to the catalogue, an advertisement, a bill of sale, a salesroom posting or announcement, the remarks of an auctioneer, or otherwise, shall be deemed to create any warranty, representation or assumption of liability.

Bidding as Principal When making a bid, a bidder is accepting personal liability to pay the purchase price, including the buyer’s premium, all applicable taxes and all other applicable charges, unless it has been explicitly agreed upon in writing with Leslie Hindman Auctioneers, Inc. before the commencement of the sale that the bidder is acting as agent on behalf of an identified third party acceptable to Leslie Hindman Auctioneers, Inc., and that Leslie Hindman Auctioneers, Inc. will only look to the principal for payment.
