BECK, Lewis Caleb (1798-1853). A Gazetteer of the states of Illinois and Missouri. Albany: C. R. and G. Webster, 1823. 8vo (216 x 134 mm). Half-title, folding map, 5 engraved plates (3 folding). (Folding map with 4-in. tear with old repair, a few pale spots.) Later half green calf, marbled boards (some light wear to joints and extremities, upper hinge just starting). FIRST EDITION of one of the earliest books describing the Illinois settlement and present-day Missouri, “an important book. Beck gives the first full length account of Illinois and Missouri, and the map, on the fairly large scale of 24 miles to the inch, is the first map of either state on such a large scale” (Streeter). The map depicts St. Louis as a rather large town, but Chicago, not yet sufficiently sized to justify a dot, is shown only by Ft. Dearborn and Chicago Creek. RARE: according to online records, only 3 copies of this work have appeared at auction in the last 30 years. Graff 224; Howes B-297; Sabin 4231; Streeter III:1438.

Later edition, one of the many that followed Cumings’ 1822 Western Navigator.

See Howes C-948; see Graff 947. $300-500

Figural cartouche incorporating the Restitutio view, galleon, canoes, animals, and a Native American fort. (Some minor creasing to upper margin.) FIRST EDITION, fourth state, with the “Carolus Allardt” imprint, and the with the Restitutio view, which was added to celebrate the return of New Amsterdam to Holland in August 1673. The Dutch fleet, which re-captured New York under Cornelius Evertsen’s command, is shown off Long Island. “The sight of a fleet of heavily armed Dutch ships…entering New York Harbor…must have been a shock to the town’s residents…The Restitutio View, which depicts the town as seen directly from the east, enables one to visualize some of its features that were only schematically showed on earlier maps. On the right-hand side of the view is part of the wall that became Wall Street with its guardhouse and gate. To the right of the wall are the new settlements [to the] north” (Augustyn and Cohen, Manhattan in Maps, pp.46-47).

Later that same year, Bradford issued the atlas again, published by the American Stationer’s Company. Interested in the revolutionary events taking place in Texas at the time, Bradford inserted a new map of Texas. The map of Texas in this atlas appears in its earliest form, with “Mustang or Wild Horse Desert” shown in south Texas, “Nueces River” designated as the southwestern boundary of Texas, land grants shown instead of land districts and counties, and the city of Austin (founded 1839) not yet mentioned.

DANCKERTS, Justus (1635-1701). Novi Belgii Novaeque Angliae nec non Partis Viginiae Tabula. [Amsterdam, ca 1655]. Engraved map, 466 x 553 mm image (sheet 482 x 593 mm). Figural cartouche incorporating view of “Nieuw Amsterdam op’t Eylant Manhattan,” canoes, animals, and a Native American fort. (A few short tears occasionally just touching image, some repaired on verso.) FIRST EDITION, FIRST STATE, before the names for Philadelphia and Pennsylvania were added, and before the course of the Delaware River is updated. According to Stokes, the first state of Danckerts’ map depicts the same period as Visscher’s map of the same title (16511655). Stokes describes numerous differences between Visscher and Danckerts’ maps, and ultimately concludes “that the N. J. Visscher, in its earlier form at least, antedates the earlier Danckers.” Burden dates the map later than Stokes or Tooley; he presents three possible periods during which this map could have been produced: the early 1660s, when Danckerts joined the family business and tensions were growing between the English and the Dutch; in 1666, following the death of Danckerts’ brother; or following the recapture of New Netherlands by the Dutch in 1673. Burden believes it was likely produced in 1673, “as the first state is of some rarity, [and the second was not] produced until c.1684.” EXCEEDINGLY RARE: Stokes cites only his copy (“no other copy of this state is known”), though he mentions that he “once saw one in the hands of a dealer”; we trace only one other copy in an institution (at Princeton University Library). No copies of the first state have appeared on the market at auction. Stokes Vol.I, pp.148-151; Tooley America, p.285 (first state). $6,000-8,000

The Atlas Ameriquain was issued soon after France’s entry into the war of the American Revolution and Le Rouge used the best large scale general survey maps that were available, and includes a magnificent version of John Mitchell’s great map of North America in eight sheets, “the most important map in American history” (DNB). Other cornerstone American multi-sheet maps contained here are: the Braddock Mead map of New England, the Montresor map of New York, Scull’s map of Pennsylvania, the Fry and Jefferson map of Virginia and Maryland, Muzon’s map of the Carolinas, De Brahm’s map of Georgia (with large scale insets of Sauthier’s map of the Hudson River and Lake Champlain), and Jeffery’s map of Louisiana and East and West Florida. Le Rouge’s atlas drew upon the best available British sources, as published by Jefferys, Faden, Sayer and Bennett, to which Le Rouge added his own work. It became the basic source for French strategic planning and pursuit of the war, and served French commanders in the land campaigns (as the Neptune Americo-Septentrional of the same year served for naval actions).

LUCAS, Fielding (1781-1854). A General Atlas of all the Known Countries in the World. Baltimore: Fielding Lucas Jr., [1822]. 4to (357 x 291 mm). Hand-colored engraved title, 67 hand-colored engraved maps (10 double-page). (Some scant spotting or offsetting.) Original half tan sheep, marbled boards, spine gilt (some wear, hinges starting). FIRST EDITION. According to Rumsey, “this is a very unusual Lucas atlas - according to Foster, only two copies are known...[it is] extremely rare.” Rumsey notes that Foster incorrectly dates this atlas as “early in the 1830’s,” which he refutes by comparing this atlas to the 1822 Carey and Lea American Atlas, with nearly half of the maps made by Lucas; in the present copy, 6 are earlier states, 4 are later states, and the balance are similar states. Additionally, this atlas includes the same “Prospectus” that appears in Fielding’s 1815 and 1816 atlases, but which was dropped from the 1823 edition. Three maps in this edition are dated: Virginia (1816), Louisiana (1817), and Maryland (1819). EXTREMELY RARE: according to online auction records, no copy of this atlas has appeared at auction in the last 40 years. Foster p.190; not in Philips; Rumsey 4866; see Sabin 42611. $4,000-6,000

MAURY, Matthew Fontaine (1806-1873). A Chart Illustrative of the Cruise of the American Arctic Expedition in search of Sir John Franklin. In the Years 1850 & 51. [Washington, D. C.: United States Hydrographical Office, ca 1851]. Engraved chart with hand-coloring in outline printed on thin paper of the First Grinnell Expedition, the first American attempt to find Franklin’s lost Polar expedition, 616 x 622 mm image (637 x 640 mm sheet). (Tears with loss to left corners, creased.) FIRST EDITION, FIRST STATE, INSCRIBED BY WELSH, the chart’s compiler, in the margin: “Compliments of G. P. Welsh.” A second state, on thick paper by Disturnell & Schroeter in New York, was issued with a label pasted over the names of the engravers of the first issue, Sherman & Smith. This rare chart of the First Grinnell Expedition was constructed by Maury; Welsh compiled it, showing the path the American vessels took along Greenland, across Baffin bay, and up the Wellington Channel. Areas shaded blue indicate new geographic discoveries from that expedition. Franklin’s Polar expedition set out on 19 May 1845 in Terror and Erebus; they were sighted by a whaling vessel off Baffin Island on 26 July 1845, and were never seen again. The first search party was dispatched in 1847. American merchant Henry Grinnell financed this first American effort to locate Franklin and his party. VERY UNCOMMON: Rare Book Hub traces only one sale of this Arctic rarity in over one hundred years: the Edward Everett Hale copy, sold Merwin-Clayton Sales Company New York, sale 408, lot 36, 19 June 1911; WorldCat locates 7 copies in institutions. $2,000-3,000

Engraved folding map by J. Vallance and H.S. Tanner, overall 904 x 1474 mm, hand-colored in outline, dissected in 40 sections and mounted on linen, brown selvage, marbled paper outer panels. (Some light overall browning, a few splits to linen, lightly dampstained.) Red roan-backed marbled boards, cream silk ties (spine broken, some light wear).

Incorporating data from state and military maps as these became available, Melish frequently revised and corrected the plates, limiting each printing to 100 copies” (Schwartz & Ehrenberg, The Mapping of America, p.238). Ristow John Melish and His Map of the United States, p.169; Streeter VI:3798. [With:] MELISH, John A.

MELISH, John (1771-1822). Map of the United States....Entered...the 6th day of June, 1816...Improved to the 1st of January, 1818. Philadelphia, 1818. Engraved folding map by J. Vallance and H.S. Tanner, overall 915 x 1490 mm, hand-colored in outline, dissected in 40 sections and mounted on linen, cream selvage, marbled paper outer panels. (Some light fraying to selvage, a few pale stains.) Modern cloth folding case. THE THOMAS W. STREETER COPY Second state of the 1818 edition, still calling Illinois a Territory. Streeter identifies this map as the first state of the 1818 edition, but it corresponds with Ristow’s second state. Streeter’s pencil annotations along the border of Illinois and the Northwest Territory demarcate the 42nd and 43rd parallels. The printed dash and dot border between Illinois and the Northwest Territory is south of Chicago (as usual in the second state), and therefore Chicago is included on the map as part of the Northwest Territory; outline coloring in the present copy, however, places the northern border of Illinois further north, closer to the border near the parallel of 42°30’ present in the third state (and later) of this edition. The 1818 edition “differs from that of 1816 by the extension of the northern boundary of Illinois to include Chicago. Due to the inaccuracy in depicting Lake Michigan, however, Chicago could only be included in the state by adding a panhandle extending east to the Lake [present in this copy in hand-colored outline only]. Also, the five districts of Arkansas, Howard, Cape Girardeau, Lawrence and St. Louis appear on the map for the first time. The first two districts approximate the present bounds of Arkansas, the latter three the state of Missouri” (Streeter). Ristow John Melish and His Map of the United States, p.171; Streeter VI:3805 (this copy).

Provenance: Thomas W. Streeter (pencil annotations, bookplate, his sale, Parke Bernet, 23 April 1969, part VI, lot 3805). $25,000-35,000

MELISH, John (1771-1822). Map of the United States...Entered...the 16th day of June, 1820... Philadelphia, 1820. Engraved folding map by J. Vallance and H.S. Tanner, overall 915 x 1490 mm, hand-colored in outline, dissected in 50 sections and mounted on linen, green selvage, marbled paper outer panels, image 883 x 1447 mm (915 x 1490 mm sheet). (Some light fraying to selvage, a few pale stains.) Cloth folding case. THE THOMAS W. STREETER COPY Third state (Martin/Ristow) of the 1820 edition. The first state consists of only the southeast sheet with cartouche; the second state is the first state of Melish’s map to be published from nine plates. The third state differs from the second only in the date in the copyright notice, which reads “16th day of June” rather than “6th day of June.” According to Streeter, “the only obvious difference between the June 6th and June 16th maps is in the coloration.” The 1820 edition is larger than prevoius editions; Melish extends the southern boundary to 16°N (from 22°50’N) to include the Yucatan peninsula, as well as the Caribbean islands. The northern boundary of Tennessee is shown along 36°30’ for the first time, following Congress’s ratification on 12 May 1820. The depiction of Lake Michigan and the borders of Illinois and Indiana are also corrected to include Chicago within the Illinois state boundaries. Missouri appears as a Territory separate from the Arkansas Territory. SCARCE: In addition to Streeter’s two copies of this edition of Melish’s map, we trace only two copies sold at auction in the last 40 years which have reappeared several times.

MITCHELL, John (1711-1768). A Map of the British and French Dominions in North America. London, imprint [chipped] 1755[-1757]. Engraved wall map on burlap backing, overall 1378 x 1918 mm. (Browned and stained, chipping and defects to margins affecting neatline and part of the imprint, creased with separations an occasional minor losses, some with old repairs on verso.) Second edition, so stated in the 6th line of the first column of three-column text, and with imprint mentioning Kitchin, Millar, and Katharine Street. Rumsey “believe[s] the second edition is scarcer than the other editions as it appears less often on the market.” Mitchell’s map, first published in 1755, was issued just prior to the French and Indian War, and is decidedly pro-English in interpretation. The second edition is the first to incorporate two large blocks of text in the Atlantic Ocean. Subsequent editions were published by Jefferys and Faden.

[NEW YORK]. The Country Twenty Five Miles Round New York, Drawn by a Gentleman from that City. London:

W. Hawkes (Successor to T. Kitchin), 21st November 1776. Broadside, sheet 588 x c.410 mm (23 1/8 x ca 16 in.), plate 395 x 405 mm (15 7/8 x 15 1/2 in.). Engraved map by J. Barber (“J. Barber sculp Holborn Hill”), lightly hand-colored in outline in yellow and green, signed in the plate with letterpress text printed on same sheet below in three columns headed: “Chronological Table of Most Interesting Occurrences since the Commencement of Hostilities in North America.” (Left margin unevenly trimmed, some minor soiling, several paper repairs and mounting remnants on verso with minor discoloration, a few very pale dampstains.)

The Chronological Table begins with the mention of what would later be known as the Boston Tea party on December 16th, 1773 (“Three Hundred Forty-two Chests of Tea destroyed at Boston”). And proceeds to recount the events of the war itself, most notably the Battle of Bunker Hill outside Boston (“Action on Bunker’s Hill”), and the British evacuation of Boston on March 7th, 1776. The text beside the date July 4th, 1776 reads: “General Congress declare the United States of America Independent.” The events over the summer include Howe’s landing on Long Island on August 22nd, Sullivan’s defeat on August 27th (“Provincials under Major General Sullivan, defeated near Brookland, on ditto”), and end on August 29th “Provincials, under General Putnam, abandon their Lines on Long Island.” The text section also provides a great deal of important information including an “Alphabetical Table of the Principal Towns in North America and their Distance from New York,” a table listing the population statistics of the various American colonies, and information regarding the command structure, troop strength, and the general disbursement of both the British and American forces. AN EXCEEDINGLY RARE BROADSIDE MAP DOCUMENTING THE DRAMATIC EVENTS UNFOLDING DURING BRITAIN’S NEW YORK CAMPAIGN AT THE OUTSET OF THE REVOLUTIONARY WAR This early state is dated 21 November 1776 in the imprint and contains an extra engraved line beneath border of the map bringing the information down to Oct. 13th. It is unrecorded among the four listed in Stevens & Tree, which describes the first state dated 1 November 1776 and bearing a single engraved line beneath the border of map which begins “Sept. 15. 1776 British Forces…”, the second issue he lists is dated 21 November 1776 and contains an extra engraved line beneath border of map bringing the information down to November 1, 1776; the third state has imprint dated 1 January 1777; and the fourth state was published by R. Sayer & J. Bennett 2 June 1777 and with the two engraved lines bringing information down to 16 November. Reese offered the third state in Catalogue 273, item 86. Nebenzahl mentions the present state as being between Stevens & Tree 43a & 43b. Nebenzahl 110; see Stevens & Tree 43; see Streeter II:786 (43d later issue).

GUIDE FOR PROSPECTIVE SELLERS Evaluation of Property If you have property you wish to sell, please call our Consignment Department at 312.280.1212 to arrange for a consultation. At that time, you may make an appointment to bring your property or photographs, along with any other pertinent information, to Leslie Hindman Auctioneers and we will be happy to provide you with complimentary estimates and advice. If you have a large collection, an appointment may be made to evaluate the property on-site. Fees for on-site visits may vary. Standard Commission Rates Our standard rate of commission is equal to ten percent (10%) of the hammer price on each lot sold for $5,001 or more; fifteen percent (15%) of the hammer price on each lot sold for $2,001 or more but less than $5,001; and twenty-five percent (25%) of the hammer price on each lot sold for $2000 and less with a minimum commission of $25 per lot sold. If your property fails to reach the reserve price agreed upon between you and Leslie Hindman Auctioneers, you may be obligated to pay a reduced commission rate of five percent (5%) of the reserve price. Shipping Arrangements Leslie Hindman Auctioneers can advise you as to how to have your property delivered to our galleries. Packing, shipping and insurance are payable by the seller. In certain instances, packing and shipping costs may be paid by Leslie Hindman Auctioneers and deducted from the proceeds of the sale. We may recommend packers and shippers, but we are not responsible for their acts or omissions. Appraisals Appraisals can be arranged for insurance, donation, estate tax, family division or other purposes. Appraisal fees vary according to circumstances. Please contact our Estates and Appraisals Department at 312.280.1212 for further information.

GUIDE FOR PROSPECTIVE BUYERS Conditions of Sale Leslie Hindman Auctioneers encourages all prospective buyers to read the Conditions of Sale printed in this catalogue. Exhibitions Leslie Hindman Auctioneers recommends that all prospective buyers attend the pre-sale exhibition prior to the auction. Staff members are available at our pre-sale exhibitions to advise prospective buyers on particular objects or on any aspect of the bidding process. Estimates Leslie Hindman Auctioneers provides catalogue descriptions and pre-auction estimates for each lot included in the sale. These estimates are a guide for prospective bidders. They are not definitive. All pre-sale estimates are subject to revision. Condition Reports We are happy to provide a condition report for lots with a low estimate of $300 and above. Nevertheless, intending buyers are reminded that condition reports are statements of our opinion only, and that each lot is sold “AS IS,” per our Conditions of Sale, as outlined in the back of this catalogue. All lots should be viewed personally by prospective buyers or their agents to evaluate the condition of the property offered for sale due to the highly subjective nature of condition reports. Bidding at Auction The highest bidder acknowledged by the auctioneer will be the purchaser. In addition to the hammer price, the buyer agrees to pay Leslie Hindman Auctioneers a buyer’s premium as well as any applicable taxes.

Bidding generally opens at half the low estimate and advances in the following order, although the auctioneer may vary the bidding increments during the course of the auction. The normal bidding increments are:

$0 - $200 ............................................. $10 $200 - $500 ............................................. $25 $500 - $1,000 .......................................... $50 $1,000 - $2,000 ........................................ $100 $2,000 - $5,000 ........................................ $200 $5,000 - $10,000 ...................................... $500 $10,000 - $20,000 ................................... $1,000 $20,000 - $50,000 ................................... $2,000 $50,000 - $100,000 ................................. $5,000 $100,000 - $200,000 ............................... $10,000 Over > $200,000 ......... Auctioneer’s Discretion

In-House Bidding Live bidding at Leslie Hindman Auctioneers is by paddle only. Please register for a paddle at the entrance of the sales room. If you are the successful bidder, your paddle number and the hammer price will be announced by the auctioneer. Online Bidding Leslie Hindman Auctioneers allows absentee and live bidding through our website at www.lesliehindman.com as well as absentee and live bidding through third party online bidding providers which vary by sale. For more information regarding online bidding please visit our website at www.lesliehindman.com. Absentee Bidding If you are unable to attend an auction, you may use the absentee bid form provided at the back of this catalogue. Leslie Hindman Auctioneers will exercise written order bids and telephone bids at no additional charge. Lots will always be sold as inexpensively as is allowed other bids and reserves as are on our books or bids executed in competition from the audience. Tax Exempt Notice Lots marked with an asterisk (*) are tax exempt as permitted by law.

CONDITIONS OF SALE HINDMAN LLC AS AGENT

The lots listed in this catalogue will be offered by Hindman LLC as owner or as agent for consignor(s) subject to the following terms and conditions. By bidding at auction you agree to be bound by these Conditions of Sale.

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 Hindman LLC nor its consignor(s) makes any warranties or representations, express or implied with respect to such lots. Neither Hindman LLC nor its consignor(s) makes any express or implied warranty or representation of any kind or nature with respect to merchantability, fitness for purpose, correctness of the catalogue or other description of the physical condition, size, quality, rarity, importance, medium, material, genuineness, attribution, provenance, period, culture, source, origin, exhibitions, literature or historical significance of any lot sold. 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. Hindman LLC and its consignor(s) make no warranty or representation, express or implied, that the purchaser will acquire any copyright or reproduction rights to any lot sold. Hindman LLC expressly reserves the right to reproduce any image of the lots sold in the catalogue.

AT THE SALE Refusal of Admission Hindman LLC has the right, at our complete discretion, to refuse admission to the premises or participation in any auction and to reject any bid. Registration before Bidding A prospective buyer must complete and sign a registration form and provide identification before bidding. We may require bank or other financial references. 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 Hindman LLC before the commencement of the sale that the bidder is acting as agent on behalf of an identified third party acceptable to Hindman LLC, and that Hindman LLC will only look to the principal for payment. Absentee Bids We will use reasonable efforts to carry out written bids given to us at least 24 hours prior to the sale for the convenience of clients who are not present at the auction in person, by an agent or by telephone. Bids must be placed in U.S. dollars. If we receive written bids on a particular lot for identical amounts, and these are the highest bids on the lot at the auction, it will be sold to the person whose written bid was received and accepted first. Execution of written bids is a free service undertaken subject to other commitments at the time of the sale and we do not accept liability for failing to execute a written bid or for errors and omissions in connection with the written bid. Telephone Bids On lots with a low estimate of $300 and above and if a prospective buyer makes arrangements with us prior to the commencement of the sale we will use reasonable efforts to contact them to enable them to participate in the bidding by telephone and we do not accept liability for failure to do so or for errors and omissions in connection with telephone bidding. These telephone bids may be recorded at the discretion of Hindman LLC. Online Bids We will use reasonable efforts to carry out online bids and do not accept liability for equipment failure, inability to access the Internet or software malfunctions related to the execution of online bids.

Reserves Some lots in the sale are subject to a reserve which is the confidential minimum price below which such lot will not be sold. The reserve will not exceed the low estimate of the lot. Reserves are agreed upon with consignors or, in the absence thereof, the absolute discretion of Hindman LLC. The auctioneer may open the bidding on any lot below the reserve by placing a bid on behalf of the seller. The auctioneer may continue to bid on behalf of the seller up to the amount of the reserve, either by placing consecutive bids or by placing bids in response to other bidders. With respect to lots that are offered without reserve, unless there are already competing bids, the auctioneer, in his or her discretion, will generally open the bidding at half of the low estimate for the lot. In the absence of a bid at that level, the auctioneer may proceed backwards at his or her discretion until a bid is recognized, and then continue up from that amount. Auctioneer’s Discretion The auctioneer has the right at his or her absolute and sole discretion to refuse any bid, to advance the bidding in such a manner as he or she may decide, to withdraw any lot, and in the case of error or dispute, and whether during or after the sale, to determine the successful bidder, to continue the bidding, to cancel the sale or to reoffer and resell the item in dispute. If any dispute arises after the sale, our sale record is conclusive. Successful Bid The highest bidder acknowledged by the auctioneer will be the purchaser. In the case of a tie bid, the winning bidder will determined by the auctioneer at his or her sole discretion. In the event of a dispute between bidders, the auctioneer has final discretion to determine the successful bidder or to reoffer the lot in dispute. If any dispute arises after the sale, the Hindman LLC sale record shall be conclusive. Title passes upon the fall of the auctioneer’s hammer to the highest acknowledged bidder subject to the Conditions of Sale set forth herein, and the bidder assumes full risk and responsibility.

AFTER THE SALE Buyer’s Premium In addition to the hammer price, the buyer agrees to pay Hindman LLC a buyer’s premium and the applicable sales tax added to the final total. The buyer’s premium for all purchases except via live online bidding is twenty-five (25%) of the hammer price up to and including $250,000; twenty percent (20%) of any amount in excess of $250,000 up to and including $3,000,000; and twelve percent (12%) of any amount in excess of $3,000,000. The buyer’s premium for purchases made via live online bidding is twenty-six (26%) of the hammer price up to and including $250,000; twenty-one percent (21%) of any amount in excess of $250,000 up to and including $3,000,000; and thirteen percent (13%) of any amount in excess of $3,000,000.

Payment The buyer must pay the entire amount due (including the hammer price, buyer’s premium, all applicable taxes and other charges) no later than 5 p.m. on the seventh (7) business day following the sale. Payment in U.S. dollars may be made with cash; bank check or cashier’s check drawn on a U.S. bank; money order; or wire transfer unless other arrangements are made with Hindman LLC.

The purchaser agrees to pay Hindman LLC a handling charge of $50 for any check dishonored by the drawee. Tax Exempt Notice Lots marked with an asterisk (*) are tax exempt as permitted by law.


Collecting Purchases Once Hindman LLC has received all funds due to us, the buyer shall collect purchased lots within seven (7) business days from the date of the sale. Packing and Shipping If your bid is successful, we can provide you with a list of shippers. We will not be responsible for the acts or omissions of carriers or packers whether or not recommended by us. Property will not be released to the shipper without the buyer’s written consent and until payment has been made in full. Packing and handling of purchased lots by us is at the entire risk of the purchaser, and Hindman LLC will have no liability of any loss or damage to such items. Non Payment If we do not receive payment in full, in good cleared funds, within seven (7) business days following the sale, we are entitled in our absolute discretion to exercise one or more of the following measures, in addition to any additional actions available to us by law: a.) to impose a late charge of one and a half percent (1.5%) per thirty (30) days of the total purchase price b.) to hold the defaulting buyer liable for the total amount due and to begin legal proceedings for its recovery together with interest, legal fees and costs to the fullest extent permitted under applicable law c.) to cancel the sale d.) to resell the property publicly or privately with such terms as we find appropriate, to resell the property at public auction without reserve, and with the purchaser liable for any deficiency, cost, including handling charges, the expenses of both sales, our commission on both sales at our regular rate, all other charges due hereunder and incidental damages. In addition, a defaulting purchaser will be deemed to have granted us a security interest in, and we may retain as collateral security for such purchaser’s obligations to us, any property in our possession owned by such purchaser. At our option, payment will not be deemed to have been made in full until we have collected funds represented by checks, or in the case of bank or cashier’s checks, we have confirmed their authenticity.

Except as required by local law any warranty of any kind whatsoever is excluded by this paragraph. Items under $1,000 are collated upon request. Purchased Lots If for any reason a purchased lot cannot be delivered in the same condition as at the time of sale, or should any purchased lot be stolen, mis-delivered or lost prior to delivery, Hindman LLC shall not be liable for any amount in excess of that paid by the purchaser. Legal Ramifications The rights and obligations of the parties with respect to these Conditions of Sale, the conduct of the auction and any matters connected with any of the foregoing shall be governed and interpreted by the laws of the jurisdiction in Illinois. If any part of these Conditions of Sale is found by any court to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, that part shall be discounted and the rest of the conditions shall continue to be valid to the fullest extent permitted by law.
