Anonymous: The Charter Granted by Their Majesties King William And Queen Mary, To the Inhabitants Of The Province Of The Massachusetts Bay in New Endlgna. Boston: Benjamin Eliot, 1726. First Edition. Very good in a contemporary, full leather binding with five raised bands on the spine with no dates or titles and with the boards decorated with blind embossing.

The front paste down shows three brief notes from three early prior owners the second one of which notes the date of purchase (1752) from a John Hill, Esq.

Anonymous: Americana Eight Cocktail Napkins Hand Blocked with Recipes and the Histories of Eight Famous Drinks. n.p.: n.p, circa 1925. First Edition. Good in its original 1/4 red paper and gold, jacquard, printed covered boards with blue and red text and decorations on the front board. An oblong, small octavo of 7 1/2 by 8 3/4 inches with wear to the paper covering all around the edges of the boards. The text is printed on a thin and extremely fragile paper stock which is well tanned with a number of closed tears and minor chips to the margins. All eight cocktail napkins are present and in fine condition in bright colors. 18 pages (17 numbered), rectos mounted with illustrated hand-colored cocktail napkins , versos with cocktail recipes. Nothing known of author, publisher or date or place of publication. However, it is rather obvious that this volume was published during the era of Prohibition (Jan. 1920 to Dec. 1933) as all of the cocktail recipes call for nonalcoholic beverages. The modified, Prohibition ready, recipes are for: Manhattan, Blue Blazer, Deadwood Duck, Rip Van Winkle Sleeper, Belmont Park, Alabama, Barbary Coast, and New Orleans Drip. The dedication in the book asserts its tongue-in-cheek intent: �To Serious Drinkers Everywhere.� Of particular interest is the fact that a small (7/8 by 5/16 inch) slip of paper with blue and red printing with the word "France" is pasted to the upper fore corner of of the front paste down for each copy that has come to market. The importation laws in the US at the time required all foreign goods to have some indication of where they were coming from. This title was therefore printed in France. The Internet site of Barina Craft in their essay on Barbary Coast Cocktails includes a footnote which reads: "Americana� Recipes And The Histories Of Eight Famous Drinks is a rare bartending book not only because of the limited number of copies of its first and only edition, but also due to its binding and illustrations. Each of the eight cocktails .... were depicted by a hand colored woven fabric cloth cocktail napkin with tassel ends." This rarity is borne out by OCLC reporting only one copy is held by an institution (Bowling Green State Univ).

Clark in his bibliography of Travels in The Old South, believed that this title was "one of the least acceptable American Travel Accounts" as the author "realized that a book devoted largely to the condemnation of Americans would be profitable." He goes on to say that despite Ashe's "oblique observations" he "was favorably impressed with the Ohio and Mississippi valleys, and his descriptions are generally credible."
