‎Exceedingly rare first edition of the first Swedish book on America and one of the main sources to the history of Pennsylvania. ""A very scarce work relating to the establishment of the Swedes in New Sweden, afterwards Pennsylvania."" (Sabin). The work is of the utmost importance to the history of this part of America and, as importantly, it also contains the only printed source to the now distinct native American language of the Susquehannocks as well the first systematic weather observations in the American Colonies.Susquehannock is a part of the Iroquoian language family and what little of it that has been preserved, is found in the present work, taking up the last part of it. The vocabulary was compiled by Holm's grandfather, the Swedish missionary Johannes Campanius, during the 1640'ies and published here for the first time by Holm, with additions, in 1702. The vocabulary consists of about 100 words, and as the only preserved source of this native American language, it is of paramount importance. The number of words listed, although limited to ab. 100, has been sufficient to show that Susquehannock was a northern Iroquoian language closely related to those of the Five Nations. Surviving remnants of the Susquehannock language include the river names Conestoga, Juniata, and Swatara.Johannes Campanius was also the first person known to have taken systematic weather observations in the American Colonies. He is thus considered ""the first weatherman in America"" and is still remembered for his groundbreaking observations that are published here for the first time. He kept a daily record of the weather at New Sweden, including at least 1644 and 1645. These highly important observations take up Chapter 3 (pp. 46-52) of the present work which thus constitute the first publication of the first systematic weather observations in the American Colonies. The prestigious ""John Campanius Holm Award"" is still awarded annually to honor cooperative observers for outstanding accomplishments in the field of meteorological observations. Much of the material in the present work is based upon Johannes Campanius's never published journals, which his grandson, Holm, studied intensely and published the most important parts of. Part of this material includes his studies on the traditions of the natives, the recording - and publication in the present work - of which helped to preserve some anthropological information, which would have otherwise been lost. These foundational studies also helped perpetrate the idea that the Native Americans were descendants of the lost tribes of Israel.New Sweden (Nya Swerige) was a Swedish colony along the lower reaches of Delaware River in North America from 1638 to 1655 in the present-day American Mid-Atlantic states of Delaware, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania. Fort Christina, now in Wilmington, Delaware, was the first settlement. In this settlement, both Holm's father and grandfather had lived, and part of Holm's account of is based on written sources, letters and notes left by his grandfather and on verbal accounts received from his father. To that he added facts obtained from the manuscripts of Peter Lindström, which had never been published (and remained unpublished until 1923). Peter Lindström was and engineer and cartographer in the colony. Many of the maps and illustrations in the present work are based on Lindström's original drawings, which are thus published here for the first time, preserving them for posterity. Lindström's great map of New Sweden was destroyed in a fire in 1697 and is now preserved because Holm reproduced it before it vanished. The famous illustration of the Indians also comes from Lindström. Part IV is also particularly interesting in that it contains (own translation from Swedish:) ""A Dictionary and Conversation-Book in the language of the Americans at New Sweden, or as it is now called Pennsylvania"", which consists in glossaries of words and phrases relating to religion, parts of the body, clothing, weather, animals and plants, numbers, and useful conversational phrases, as well as the very interesting ""Discourses which took place at a council held by the Indians in 1645, on the subject of the Swedes and of New Sweden, in which their sachem or king, first speaks with his son, about calling the nation together"". As is evident, the work is extremely important in several respects. Not only does it preserve for posterity facts about so many aspects of native American language, life, customs etc. which would otherwise have been lost, it also uniquely describes the weather, geography and topology of the areas dealt with. ""It is curious to see the now famous cities of Philadelphia and New York, described as ""clever little towns"", as they were in fact at that time. The political history of the country, from the first settlement of the Swedes to the arrival of William Penn, and for some time afterwards, is not the less replete with interest for the present inhabitants of Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and Delaware, as well as that of the habits, manners, and customs of the Swedes and the Dutchmen, who inhabited this country before us. Nothing can be more truly moving, than the account given of those patriarchal times by the venerable pastor Erick Biörk, in his letters to his friends in Sweden, of which extracts are contained in the 10th chapter of the second book of this work. It is pleasing, also, to see, described by a foreigner, the happiness of this people, under the government of our illustrious founder. The vocabulary and dialogues in the Indian language, which are contained in the fourth book, will also be found interesting to philologists.These, we believe, are the reasons that induced the Historical Society of Pennsylvania to cause this work to be translated, and to undertake its publication. It cannot but be well received by those who take an interest in the early history of our country, of which the most correct accounts are to be obtained from those by whom it was first settled."" (Translator's Preface to the English translation, 1834). This fundamental work was translated into English in 1834 and again in 1975. Sabin: 10202________________________________________________________________The Susquehannock people, also called the Conestoga were the Iroquoian-speaking Native Americans who lived in areas adjacent to the Susquehanna River and its tributaries ranging from its upper reaches in the southern part of what is now New York (near the lands of the Five Nations of the Iroquois Confederacy), through eastern and central Pennsylvania West of the Poconos and the upper Delaware River (and the Delaware nations), with lands extending beyond the mouth of the Susquehanna in Maryland along the west bank of the Potomac at the north end of the Chesapeake Bay. Evidence of their habitation has also been found in northern West Virginia and portions of southwestern Pennsylvania, which could be reached via the gaps of the Allegheny or several counties to the south, via the Cumberland Narrows pass which held the Nemacolin Trail. Both passes abutted their range and could be reached through connecting valleys from the West Branch Susquehanna and their large settlement at Conestoga, Pennsylvania.‎

‎Édition originale de la traduction française, illustrée de 9 planches en taille-douce dont 5 représentant des divinités et les 4 restantes des cartes. Son auteur John Zephania Holwell était un chirurgien, employé de la British East India Company et fut même un temps gouverneur du Bengale. Il arriva pour la première fois en 1732 et fut l'un des premiers anglais à s'intéresser à l'hindouisme, son histoire et ses dogmes. Il rédigea le présent ouvrage et le publia en anglais pour la première fois entre 1765 et 1771. Ce livre enthousiasma notamment le philosophe Voltaire qui s'en servit de source pour la rédaction de son Essai sur les moeurs et l'Esprit des nations.

‎Nova Anglia Septentrionali Americae implantata Anglorumque coloniis florentissima Geographica exhibita‎

‎Nuremberg s.d. (circa 1716), 61,4x53cm, une feuille rempliée.‎

‎Edition originale et second tirage de cette carte à toutes marges, gravée sur cuivre et rehaussée en couleurs à l'époque. La carte est apparue pour la première fois dans l'Atlas Novus vers 1716 et a été rééditée pendant plusieurs décennies. Beau cartouche en bas à droite témoignant des échanges commerciaux entre Amérindiens et Européens : perles, armes, outils, alcool, textiles et fourrures, l'un des piliers économiques de la Nouvelle-Angleterre à l'époque. Cette carte très détaillée couvre la zone géographique allant de Philadelphie au Sud jusqu'à la vallée du Saint-Laurent au Nord et indique les colonies amérindiennes et européennes. Elle couvre les Etats du Maine, du New Hampshire, du Vermont, du Massachusetts, du Connecticut, du Rhode Island, de New York et de Pennsylvanie et du New Jersey. Bel exemplaire de l'une des rares cartes du Nord-Est américain du début du XVIIIème siècle, représentant la région telle qu'elle était envisagée avant que le gouvernement britannique ne commande des études cartographiques plus approfondies sur le sujet. Cette carte est l'uvre de Johann Baptist Homann (1664-1724), l'un des cartographes les plus renommés, fondateur de l'une des plus importantes maisons d'éditions allemandes. Conçue alors que la région était toujours en cours d'explorations, elle montre un certain nombre d'inexactitudes: Cape Cod y est représentée comme une île et le port de Boston apparaît plus grand que son apparence réelle. La taille de certains lacs est exagérée, tandis que le lac Champlain plus à l'Est que son emplacement réel. Le lac Seneca (état de New York) se révèle être une immense mer qui se déverse dans la vallée de l'Hudson et le lac George porte alors le nom de «lac iroquois». La représentation de la Nouvelle-France au Nord est elle aussi inexacte dans la mesure où Montréal (Mont Royal) prend la forme d'une île immense immédiatement adjacente au lac Ontario. On notera également la présence de la colonie légendaire de Norumbega. Il s'agit en outre de l'une des toutes premières représentations de la ville de New York: Manhattan est identifiée comme une île légendée «N. Loch», ce qui aide à identifier cette carte comme deuxième état. Très bel exemplaire. - Photos sur www.Edition-originale.com - ‎
