- Lot Description
a) The Finding of the Mayflower by Rendel Harris , Manchester: At the University Press, Longmans, Green & Company, London, New York, Chicago, Bombay, Calcutta, Madras 1920. This is an interesting history about the Mayflower and what happened to her after she returned to England. The ship landed in Plymouth, New England in 1620 and returned to England afterwards, and the author wonders if the ship was dismantled in England and broken up to make a barn from the timbers of the ship; he presents court and genealogical records to show the timbers were used to make a barn in England between 16624 and 1655; he presents a lot of information to show what happened to the ship and its structure, but doesn't seem to come to any definite conclusion about the fate of the historic ship. It's more like a treasure hunt to him, and he leaves it up to the reader to decide what happened to the ship. The book measures 9 1/4 x 6 in. wide, it is titled in black lettering on the spine and the front board, with blank endpapers, 58 pages of text and numerous photographs to help the author make his case, uncut pages, and has light browning on the covers, and light offset and a slight separation at the top of the gutter on the front endpapers. And if you turn the photo on page 11 upside down, it looks like a ship's hull. We believe it is a first edition because there is just a single date on the title page, which makes it a first edition, according to McBride. (See A Pocket Guide to the Identification of First Editions, Complied by Bill McBride, for books published by Longmans Green.) It was published in 1920, probably to commemorate the 300th anniversary of the landing of the Mayflower at Plymouth in 1620, and an interesting read. b) Pilgrim Memorials and Guide to Plymouth with a Lithographic Map, and Eight Copperplate Engravings by WM. S. Russell, Register of Deeds and Keep of the Plymouth Colony Records, Fifth Edition. Boston, Crosby & Ainsworth. New York: Oliver S. Felt. 1866. With gilt decorations and gilt title on the spine, embossed brown boards, yellow endpapers, a afold-out frontis which shows "References to Public Buildings &c." in Plymouth, 1855 on the copyright page, a one-page Preface, two pages explaining the engravings, a five-page Index, 190 pages of text altogether, and an Appendix that runs from page 191 to page 228. A historical guide to the buildings at Plymouth, with discussions of their significance; the book also contains considerable information about the Pilgrims, as well as a subsequent history of the town. It measures 7 5/8 x 5 in. wide, with light wear on the heel and crown of the spine, light rubbing at the tips, a tight binding, and actually very clean pages. #1685 #42
