(Deed from the state of New York, signed by Governor George Clinton, Granting 600 acres of land to Thomas Garrison in the township of Cincinnatus, Montgomery County).
List No
4401.000
Note
An early deed with the large (9cm diameter) seal of the state attached. The State granted lands in what was designated as the Military Tract to Revolutionary War veterans. The tract comprised twenty five townships of 60,000 acres each, each consisting of 100 lots of 600 acres. Grantees received one lot. Thomas Garrison was granted lot 80 of Township 25, Cincinnatus, by this deed. In 1793, Simeon DeWitt produced a map of the Military Tract, one of his first surveys. The Military Tract was one of the first uses of Township surveys built on square lots of uniform size. Eventually, the U.S. Land Office used a 660 acre unit (1 mile square) as the building block for its surveys in Ohio and westward. Printed form filled in with pen-and-ink and including the signature of Geo. Clinton.

(Covers to) An account of the trigonometrical operation, whereby the distance between the meridians of the observatories of Greenwich and Paris has been determined By Major-General William Roy, F.R.S. and A.S. From the Philosophical Transactions. (London: 1790).
List No

Note
First separate edition, Roy's last paper on the Triangulation of South-east England, which connected to the French network made by Jean Dominique Cassini, resolved the dispute over the difference in longitude between the Paris and Greenwich observatories. It also laid the foundation for the whole triangulation of England and creation of Ordnance Survey. This paper was read before the Royal Society on 25, February 1790 and Roy died in April later that year. His most important legacy was the establishment of Ordnance Survey. This work published in 162 pages, with 11 folded plates and maps. Bound in marbled boards covers, leather spine with gilt tooled raised band with "Roy's Account" stamped in gilt.
