Sabin 8216. The subtitle of this interesting booklet, given in English, would
read: “Where shall we go? To the United States or British North America — to
the countries on the opposite side of the Rocky Mountains or to Texas — to Santo
Thomas — South America or the West Indies, etc.”

N. 27/28). Engraving on copper. About 105X140 cm. Paris 1815.
Mounted on linen. 60 —
This scarce folding map is remarkable for giving a good survey of the state of
knowledge attained about 1800 of the northern and western territories of North America.
It includes also Central America and contains a detailed map of St. Domingo (20X5° cm),
Martinique and Gouadeloupe. The boundaries are coloured.

172 CATLIN, (G.), North American Indian Portfolio. Hunting scenes
and amusements of the Rocky Mountains and Prairies of America.
From drawings and notes of the author. 25 large lithogr. plates.

Sabin 11532. Nat. Cyclop, of American Biogr. III. 270. Ricci 108. Thieme = B.
VI. 187. A highly interesting series of 25 fine large tinted lithographies
after original drawings of the author made during a 8 years’ travel amongst
40 of the wildest and most remote tribes of savages in North America, containing
portraits of Indian men and women; the Buffalo; Catching the wild horses;
Buffalo hunt (several plates); Indian dances (Buffalo d., snow shoe d., bear d.,
ball play d.); Bear hunt; Antelope shooting; Indian sports (Indian ball play, ar-

174 CINCINNATUS ORDER. — Mirabeau, H. G. R. Cte. de, con-
sidérations sur l’ordre de Cincinnatus, ou imitation d’un pamphlet
anglo-américain. Suivies de plusieurs pièces relatives à cette
institution etc. Londres, Johnson 1784. Half leather. 203pp. 24° —
Sabin 49393. Original edition. The order of “the Cincinnati” was considered
inimical to American principles — and this rare piece gives the Count Mirabeau’s
views on the subject. This original edition contains matter not to be found in the
English version. — With a cancelled inscription on the title.
175 CIVIL WAR, AMERICAN, 1861 — 64. — An Indian ink drawing
heightened with chalk, representing a most thrilling moment as
it occurred in a night attack on the Mississippi 22—23, 1862:
The confederate ram-ship “Manassos” has just pushed a fire-boat
against the Northern States flagship “Hartford”, which is about
to break out in flames. Without signature or date (about 1862).
Measures 36X24,5 cm. Loosely mounted on board. 120 —
A night-piece of fine artistic workmanship, producing a rather dazzling effect by the
marked contrast of black and white and the reflected ligth of the flames glittering
on the waves. From the extraordinary liveliness with which the whole scene has been
set forth, it must be supposed that the anonymous artist was an eye-witness of the
event. At the right-hand top-corner is the following German inscription: „Das con-
föderierte Widderschiff ‘Manassos’ treibt einen Brander auf der Vereinigten Staaten
Flaggenschiff ‘Hartford’ auf dem Mississippi in der Nacht vom 22.-23. APril 1862.“
On one half of the verso a most graphic account of the event is given by the same
