[Claude, Abram (Mayor) and Louis H. Rehn (Treasurer)]
Report of the Mayor of Annapolis, on the State of Its Finances, with the Treasurer's Exhibits, for the Years 1885 and 1886
Publisher: Annapolis Record & Advertiser, City Printers 1887.
Octavo, Full cloth , 24 pages. Condition: Very good.
Mayor Claude reports that "the continued reduction of its debt and the prompt payment of demands on its Treasury have greatly improved the credit of the [city], enabling it to make more advantageous contracts, and if the present policy be maintained, to perhaps borrow money when needful, at a lower rate of interest than six per cent per annum." The Treasurer's report is a wealth of intriguing local history as it details payments made by and to the city in 1885 and 1886. Here we see that William T. White received $4.25 for repairing the town clock, the Annapolis Water Company was paid $700 for hydrants, plugs, other work, Robert Strange painted City Hall for $104.50, the Annapolis & Elk Ridge Railroad received $11.75 for passage of tramps, etc., and much more. Also includes information on bond issues, the city's real estate holdings, etc. Original report bound in dark brown cloth with decorative endpapers, upper board titled in gilt. Some mild spotting to board edges, front free endpaper and preliminary blank have repaired tears along inner margin. Lettering to upper board is darkened. Regional

[Hicks, Thomas Holliday (1798-1865)]
Message of the Governor of Maryland, to the General Assembly. Special Session, December, 1861
Publisher: Annapolis Schley & Cole, Printers 1861.
Octavo, disbound , 15 pages. Condition: Very Good.
Original document printed at Annapolis in 1861 in which Governor Hicks explains to the General Assembly and the citizens of Maryland why he had refused to convene the state legislature earlier that year. It was his belief that a majority of the legislators at that time "…desired Maryland to leap, no matter how blindly, into the vortex of secession." Hicks felt he could not trust that Body at that time to so momentous a question. Includes two other documents which accompanied the Governor's message--a report by John W. Garrett on the B&O Railroad and a letter to Hicks from William H. Seward. This pamphlet is disbound from a larger volume, otherwise very good. Military History

The Talking Walls of Historic West Street (Annapolis, MD): A Walking Tour
Publisher: City of Annapolis, 2004 Annapolis MD.
Book. Book condition: Very Good. Soft cover 8vo - over 7¾ - 9¾" tall "Accredited as the'Athens of America, ' Maryland's state capital, Annapolis, still celebrates the rich art and social culture today, which it has been esteemed for more than 300 years. The city's prominent location on the Chesapeake Bay makes it an ideal seaport for trade, which attracted families and businesses during colonial times. Annapolis quickly developed as a center of high society. Fine goods were imported from all over the world, and Annapolis manufactured many of its own fabulous wares in local businesses. A myriad of social events also appealed to a plethora of visitors. Furthermore, Annapolis developed as a prestigious seat of government, wooing many of the Founding Fathers to visit the city. In 1694, Governor Sir Francis Nicholson built a fence around the new state capital. The only entrance to the city by land was through a gate located at the corner of Calvert Street and inner West Street. Originally called Cowpen Lane, West Street has played a prominent role in the culture and development of Annapolis since its 17th century foundings. Long time home to a variety of commercial businesses, social events, and public services, West Street continues to unabashedly attract visitors to its sidewalks year after year." This booklet offers a walking tour of West Street, highlighting and describing twenty different locations along the street. Illustrated. 32 pages. Book is in VERY GOOD condition.

"Driving through Worcester County (on the Eastern Shore of Maryland), one cannot help but remark at the tremendous diversity of the area. There is the serenity of the countryside, with the elegant old plantation homes nestled along the river and at the end of narrow, seldom-used roads. There is the beauty and tranquility of the Pocomoke River. And there is the excitement and hustle of Ocean City, one of the most popular resort communities on the east coast.

From the quiet elegance of Beverly to the hustle of the Ocean City Boardwalk, the reader can readily view the character, history and architecture of Worcester from his armchair. This book will be of interest to anyone who has ties to Worcester. Whether your interest is history, architecture, or simply a fascination with the county in general, this book will be a welcomed addition to your library." 104 pages with index.

Barrie, Robert and George Barrie, Jr.
Cruises, Mainly in the Bay of the Chesapeake
Publisher: Philadelphia Franklin Press 1909.
First Edition. Octavo, Full cloth, black & white photographic plates, [x], 276 pages. Condition: Very good. No dust jacket.
A Chesapeake Bay classic. The first book to draw significant attention to the Bay as ideally suited for pleasure boating. The Barrie brothers were members of the Corinthian Yacht Club in Philadelphia, and made their first cruise the Bay in 1897 by way of the C&D Canal, just at the beginning of the reign of the skipjack among Chesapeake Bay workboats. There were also numerous other workboats plying the Bay's waters then, but George Barrie later recalled that "Yachts in those days were almost as scarce as hen's teeth." (in Burgess, "This was Chesapeake Bay.") The book is written in a charmingly readable style and does not confine itself to scenes on the water but includes many interesting vignettes of Annapolis, Oxford, St. Michael's, activity around the boatyards, etc. Nicely illustrated with dozens of photographic plates depicting the native sailing craft as well as scenes in the sleepy shore towns and boatyards (note: the illustrations in the later Bryn Mawr editions are rather inferior to the original plates herein). Fold-out map of the Bay at rear. HOWES #B-176; TOY #1023; PRATT-EASTERN SHORE #35; MORRIS & HOWLAND p. 11. This copy has been nicely rebound in maroon cloth over boards some time ago. Gilt spine title, top edge gilt. Slight rubs to extremities, mild browning to spine. Fold-out map has a short tissue-repaired tear at lower attachment. All in all a very nice copy of this uncommon source on early Chesapeake pleasure boating. Regional

Hartman's 'A History of the Western High School, 1844-1913', Baltimore, 1915; from news items and articles in the Baltimore Sun; from official reports and from individual contributions. We have tried to present the story of the hundred years of the school's existence as concisely as possible, selecting for inclusion such items only as might contribute to the story of the school's progress from year to year; omitting everything which did not, in our opinion, meet that requirement. Many of these omissions are supplied in other chapters of the book.." Illustrated with sketches and black-and-white photographic plates. 256 pages. Book is in GOOD to VERY GOOD condition.

Maryland's Skipjacks (Images of America)
Publisher: Acadia Publishing, 2008 Charleston, SC.
ISBN: 9780738553634 Book. Book condition: Very Good. Trade paperback 8vo - over 7¾ - 9¾" tall "Chesapeake is an Algonquian word meaning 'great shellfish bay, ' and for decades, the oyster was the undisputed king of Chesapeake Bay shellfish, Early settlers reported them to be a large as dinner plates, and the reefs or rocks in which they lived were large enough to be hazards to navigation. In 1884, fifteen million bushels of oysters were harvested and shipped around the world. The skipjack was the perfect vessel for sailing into the Chesapeake Bay's shallow waters and dredging for oysters, and each winter, hundreds of these wooden craft set out across the bay's cold waters. The oyster population of the 21st century is a fraction of what it once was, and the skipjacks have disappeared along with them. No long economically viable, the boats have been left to rot in the marshes along the bay. Only 25 boats are still operational, and fewer than five still dredge. Author David Berry, a writer and longtime sailor, has spent many hours volunteering on the skipjack Martha Lewis. He has selected images that capture the simple, elegant functionality of these historic sailing vessels and remind readers that a key part of Maryland's past is disappearing. Numerous efforts are in place to save the remaining skipjacks and to reestablish the oyster in the Chesapeake bay, but the days captured in these photographs are gone forever.. " Profusely illustrated. 128 pages with index. Book is in VERY GOOD condition. Paper wrappers.

Chesapeake Bay Notes & Sketches
Publisher: Tidewater Publishers, 1970 Cambridge, MD.
ISBN: 0870331485 Book. Book condition: Good. No Jacket. Hardcover 8vo - over 7¾ - 9¾" tall "It is not difficult to imagine how the finest of the world's estuaries, Chesapeake Bay, looked to the first Englishmen who came to settle and use it three hundred and fifty years ago. It is not difficult because many left accurate descriptions and because, most fortunately, Chesapeake Bay remains relatively unspoiled. Many of its creeks and bays still seem remote when one explores them today. The Chesapeake impresses us with its beauty as it impressed those first Europeans who sailed it and wrote of it..The marshes John Smith described and the points he named are still there. The shores are covered with the same kinds of trees; the insects that plagued him are still a nuisance. Most of the birds and fish he noted are still found in the Bay, but not in the numbers he recorded. The animal life on the shore has changed, and the Indians, whose customs and language smith took pains to describe, have almost completely disappeared..After three hundred years of exploiting, the American is forced to face the reality that the resources can be exhausted, the country become crowded, and the beautiful land spoiled. Today the Chesapeake is still beautiful and largely unspoiled, but it is threatened..It is because we share the admiration of Smith and others and because we are concerned for the future of the Chesapeake that we are attempting this description of it, the story of man's use of it, and the factors and conditions that threaten it." Illustrated. viii + 168 pages with index. Book is in GOOD or better condition. No dust jacket.
