History of AMERICAN SOCIALISMS, by John H. Noyes. Phila., 1870 Roy. 80, cloth, 1.50

[1441 An attempt to explain the tenets, history, and failure of the attempts on Owen's and Fourier's plans in the U.S. Including many most interesting chapters, such as those on Brook Farm and the Shakers in

the East and the Phalanxes in the West. The book was prepared in the Oneida community (notorious for their singular sexual regulations) and printed at Wallingford. It is partly founded on the unpublished collections of A. J. Macdonald who visited many of the now extinct social farms. Though the writer is a Socialist, he admits that the almost universal cause of failure is "want of goodness" in the material-" Brook Farm alone was harmonious to the end," and apparently claims "religious earnestness as necessary to successin other words freedom of thought is fatal to Socialistic communities.

Robert Wright is best known by his brilliant biography of GENERAL WOLFE (q. v.)

A New and Accurate Account of the Provinces of SOUTH-CAROLINA and GEORGIA, with many Curious and Useful Observations on the Trade, Navigation and PLANTATIONS of Great Britain, compared with her most powerful maritime Neighbours in Antient and Modern Times, [by J. E. Oglethorpe]. 1732 [1447

8°, calf, gilt lines, NEWLY BOUND, 12.00

GENERAL JAMES EDWARD OGLETHORPE, "Founder of the Colony of GEORGIA," advocates in this (presumably his earliest) publication, the persuading of "Some of the chiefest Savages, both for Authority and Understanding, to visit Great Britain." He went to Georgia with the two Wesleys in 1733, and brought back some Indian Chiefs with him the next year. In his preface, he speaks of the first attack on St. Augustine by the Colonists, as "An Expedition improvidently projected, and unsuccessfully attempted." But he himself, after he had been made 'General of the English Forces in Georgia and Carolina,' made an unsuccessful

attack on the same place.

The BRITISH EMPIRE in AMERICA, containing the History of the Discovery, Settlement, Progress and present State of all the BRITISH COLONIES on the Continent and Islands of America [by John Oldmixon], with curious Maps of the several Places, done from the newest Surveys, by Herman Moll, Geographer (eight folding maps). 1708 2 vols, 8°, panelled calf, gilt backs, saffron edges, NEWLY BOUND, 9.00 [1450

The maps carefully set out to facilitate reference and preserve from tearing.

The valuable colonial maps (more brilliant in the 1708 than in the 1741 edition) are as follows: i North America. ii Newfoundland, etc.. iii New England, etc. iv Virginia and Maryland. v Carolina and Bermuda (these all in Vol I). vi Barbadoes. vii St. Kitts, Antego and General W.I. viii Jamaica. John Oldmixon was a Somersetshire man, and collector of Customs at Bridgwater. His long preface explaining his authorities makes one envious of his valuable collection on American History. He also claims personal acquaintance with Penn and other celebrated Colonials. He sucked his authors unsparingly; the great difference, indeed, between the editions is in the ADDITION to the second of the whole of "Neal's New-England" that came within his design.

[1496 Almon's original issue of the records of this impor tant Parliament, from its first meeting to its dissolution.

It is remarkable for the complexion given it by its
publisher, who made it a full record of everything
which passed during these memorable years which
bore upon the state of the AMERICAN COLONIES;
open each volume and the impression is given that
nothing but America occupied the British Senate
during the whole 14th parliament.

The "accurate copies of Letters and Papers," the
"petitions," etc., are all selected with the one idea
of stating everything relating to the publisher's
favourite topic; some volumes have Appendixes,
and in these are included "The CHARTERS of the
British Colonies in America" 142 pages;
"New
Commission of the Governor of QUEBEC and other
Instruments of Authority derived from the Crown

to the Convention Army near Boston in 1777-8 (Let-
ters of Washington, Burgoyne, Howe, Heath, etc.)

a "spirit of resistance still prevails in Massachusets
