Imprint: 1832 ADAMS, Hannah [and Mrs. Hannah F. Lee]. A MEMOIR OF MISS HANNAH ADAMS, WRITTEN BY HERSELF, WITH ADDITIONAL NOTICES BY A FRIEND. Boston: Gray and Bowen, 1832. 110 pp. 12mo., green cloth with paper spine label. Fair to good, rear joint starting, spine label scraped with only remnants legible. Light pale spotting to cloth. Interior foxed, hinges starting. Rear flyleaf has small chip and small closed tear. Lovely lithograph frontispiece portrait, slight soil to page edges, not affecting image. Hannah Adams (1775-1831), though she thought herself timid and unworldly, was the first American woman to support herself as an author. Her first book, An Alphabetical Compendium of Various Sects (1784), went through several editions; later editions are titled A View of Religions. She was regarded by her contemporaries as an able and industrious author; yet she herself made only modest claims for her achievement. Her memoir, published posthumously, is the chief source of information about her; and, with characteristic modesty, it was written partly to raise money for her ailing younger sister.

Imprint: 1871 ADAMS, F. O. [Francis Ottiwell]. THIRD REPORT BY MR. ADAMS ON SILK CULTURE IN JAPAN, DATED AUGUST 10, 1870. Presented to both Houses of Parliament by Command of Her Majesty. London: Printed by Harrison and Sons, 1871. At the head of t.p. is printed "JAPAN. No. 1 (1871)" and at the bottom edge [C.-- 243] and "Price 2s. 6d." This was first published at the "Japan Mail" Office, Yokohama, in 1870. 9 lithographic plates, of which two are in color and three are folding. Two of the folding plates are maps: a map of the `Silk Districts of Japan' and a general map of Japan. 16 pp. Folio, side-sewn, extracted from a bound volume. 32 x 20.5 cm (12.5 by 8 in). Text leaves are very lightly age-toned at edges, with some showing occasional bits of scant foxing; but it is clean and crisp overall. Housed in a light brown cloth portfolio with ribbon ties, and a gilt-lettered, dark brown morocco label on upper board. Near fine. F. O. Adams was Secretary to the British Legation in Yokohama. In the summer of 1869, he made the first of his three tours of the silk producing districts of Japan. Although one of the folding maps indicates with two colored lines the routes that Adams followed on his 1869 and 1870 tours, this report details his second tour during the months of June and July 1870. It began and ended in Yedo and extended over 600 miles, travelling through the provinces of Bushiu, Shinshiu. Joshui, and Echigo, as far as Niigata, with several stops along the way. Smith was accompanied by Matsume Gonroku and two others. The purpose of their tour appears to have been the investigation of the various methods of silk-culture throughout the silk districts with a view to identifying those that achieve the highest yield and the best quality, the identification and treatment of a variety of diseases that are common to silkworms, and the examination of silk reeling techniques with the idea of introducing European machinery to improve the quality of the finished product. Besides illustrations of mulberry leaves, other plates show a Yamam-mai basket cage, methods of silk reeling at Yama- mai and Echigo, and a magnanerie (a silkworm house) at Shimamura., Fine Stock number: 87353.

This work was purchased on the twenty-third day of August, A.D. one thousand eight hundred and thirty nine, at an Old Book Stand adjoining the Post Office in the Park, and was believed to be the only complete Edition of the same print extant. The price paid was Seven dollars; and that sum was nothing compared to the actual worth of this Edition. It was published and printed at London in the year of our Lord one thousand Seven hundred and forty one, being ninety eight years since. I have resolved to refuse the loan of any of these volumes, under any circumstances, whatever. J.E.B." Beneath are two later ink inscriptions in two different hands: "Purchased of James E. Beers Sept. 4, 1875, by Chauncey Shaffer" "Presented Nov. 17, 1887, by Hon. Chauncey Shaffer to his grand-daughter Clara Maria Burt." Bindings are lightly sunned. Internally, the frontis is oddly trimmed at the fore- edge, and bears a few tape-repairs.
