Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from A Catalogue of the Books Manuscripts and Maps Relating Principally to America: Collected by the Late Levi Ziegler Leiter, With Collations and Bibliographical Notes The collection of books and manuscripts described in this catalogue illustrates the interest taken by the late Mr. Levi Z. Leiter in American history and in rare and early printed books. It is not often that a love for books finds a place in the life of an active business man, and still more rarely that a discriminating taste and exact bibliographical knowledge, such as Mr. Leiter displayed in bringing together this remarkably fine collection of rarities, accompany the talents which made him one of the preeminently successful business men of America. His correspondence with such scholars and bibliophiles as Dr. W. F. Poole, Rufus Blanchard, Henry Stevens, and Joseph Sabin indicates that his interest was continuous. A perusal of the titles of the works contained in this library will indicate that it is the collection of a book-lover, that it consists of a well-balanced selection of works relating to America, and that it includes an exceptional number of rare works beyond the reach of the ordinary collector. Among the works in geography, voyages, and travel are to be found Peter Martyr´s First three decades of the new world, 1516, and the two English editions of 1612 and 1625, Hakluyt, Purchas, Thévenot, and Wytfliet. New England is represented in the works of the Mathers, Eliot, Backus, Morton, Neal, Norton, Cotton, Hubbard, Bishope, Burrough, Byfield, Hutchinson, Josselyn, Letchford, Winthrop, and others of equal importance. The works on New York include the rare Dutch work of Vander Donck, Horsmanden´s Journal of the negro plot ... burning the city of New York, 1744, and the rare copy of the Charter of the city of New York, printed by Peter Zenger in 1735.
