NTRODUCTIO
There is presented in the following pages a list of books,
pamphlets and broadsides known to have been printed in
Chicago from the first functioning of a local press through
the year 1850. This compilation has been "on the fire," so to
speak, for seventeen years, but in spite of this long period of sim-
mering, I am not in position to claim for it any degree of finality.
I think it unlikely, however, that any large number of additional
titles will be subsequently recorded.
The list now published represents a fourth revision of a bibli-
ography originally printed in book form in 1927 which recorded
70 Chicago imprints earlier than 1851. This and subsequently
issued lists focused the interest of bibliographers and historians
on the field of early Chicago printing and led to the discovery
and report of more titles than were represented in the original
list. The operations of the WPA's American Imprints Inventory
contributed still more.
More than three times as many Chicago imprints as I could
find in 1927 are described and located in the present list. Details
respecting successive amplifications of the record here follow:
1. The First Printers of Chicago, with a bibliography of
the issues of the Chicago press, 1836-1850. Chicago: Cu-

2. Notes in Supplement to "The First Printers of Chicago."
Chicago: Privately printed. 1931. With 3 reproductions
of title pages. Contained 18 titles, of which 1 was later
found not to be a Chicago imprint and 2 which were
repeated from The First Printers—a net gain of. . 15
3. Books and Pamphlets Printed in Chicago, 1835-1850.
Bulletin of the Chicago Historical Society, v. 1, nos. 1-4,
November, 1934—August, 1935, p. 9-23, 57-64, 88-100,
120-132. With 7 reproductions (3 titles pages and 4broadsides). Contained the 85 titles from First Printers
and Notes in Supplement and in addition .... 85
Titles previously published 170
The present list records 232 titles, in which 43 broadsides are
included. Of these, 63* (including 25 broadsides) are new.
Three (nos. 32, 43, and 127), previously reported as "not lo-
cated," are repeated with copies located and with adequate
descriptions.
Five titles (nos. 8, 26, 48, 147, and 192) remain unlocated. Nos.
48 and 192 are quite doubtful; they are included only to continue
the record of titles previously published. The imprints may be
classified by subject as follows:

The issues of the Chicago press are significant historically
because they reflect the cultural, spiritual, and business interests
and activities of one of the world's great cities during its infancy.
The beginnings of railroads, of the agricultural machinery in-
dustry, and of other businesses which have contributed to the
growth and prosperity of this great metropolis are here recorded
in printed documents. And the religious, educational, cultural
and legal interests and activities of the fast-growing community
are likewise adequately represented in the record.
A bibliography such as this is not the product of effort by one
or two men, but constitutes a cumulation of contributions by
hundreds of bibliographers, historians and collectors. My obliga-
tions for assistance over the years of bibliographical gestation of
this list are too numerous to specify. I desire particularly, how-
ever, to acknowledge the interest and cooperation in many ways
of the authorities and staff of the Chicago Historical Society.
Among institutions whose assistance has proved helpful are the
New York Public Library, the Henry E. Huntington Library,
the Library of Congress, the Harvard College Library, the
Illinois State Historical Library, and the Wisconsin Historical
Society.
Among the individual collectors who have contributed
largely to the completion of this list are Thomas W. Streeter,
Everett Graff, Lawrence Dicke, and the late George Paullin.
Most important has been the cooperation, over many years,
of my associate Albert H. Allen, who has played a major role
in the compilation and editing of this list. To him I make
grateful acknowledgment for his able and painstaking work.
To place this bibliography in its proper perspective, we may
recall that the first printing in Chicago was done by John
Calhoun. A native of Watertown, N. Y., with several years'
experience as a printer on various newspapers in the state of
New York, Calhoun arrived late in the fall of 1833 at the
swampy little settlement on the Chicago River. Here, on Novem-
ber 26, 1833, he produced the first issue of the future city's first
newspaper, the Chicago Democrat. Calhoun sold the Democrat
in 1836 and thereafter is no longer known as a printer. Except
for issues of his newspaper, Calhoun's name as a printer does not
appear on any extant product of the early Chicago press.
The second printer to function independently at Chicago was
Thomas O. Davis, of whose antecedents I as yet know nothing.
On June 8, 1835, he began publication of Chicago's second news-
paper, the Chicago American. The typographic signature of
Davis appears on the first three items in the following list,
as well as on others until 1837, when the American passed into
other hands.
Also within the first five years of Chicago printing, Edward
H. Rudd made his first appearance in 1837. For records of other
printers who began work at Chicago before 1851, the reader is
referred to the Index of Chicago Printers, Publishers, and Book-
sellers on pages 101-105.
The step-up in activity of the press is seen in the number of
imprints produced respectively in the following years:

I shall still appreciate report of new titles or locations of early
Chicago imprints, even though I do not now feel disposed to
promise any future edition of this list.

This auction was an incident of the canal-land boom at Chicago in the
years 1834 to 1836. "Germantown" cannot now be identified. Augustus
Garrett, who became mayor of Chicago in 1843- 1845, held auctions in a
building on Dearborn Street. A. T. Andreas, History of Chicago, p. 134-
135, says: "Mr. Garrett's room was the most popular resort of the speculat-
ing crowd. During the 10 months of the year 1835 he sold $1,800,000
worth of property. The panic of 1837 stopped the land boom."
The firm of Garrett, Brown & Brother is not listed in the early Chicago
directories, and no mention of this sale is to be found in contemporary
Chicago newspapers. It seems probable, however, that this auction was
held in 1835, the year of Garrett's greatest activity. Garrett bequeathed a
large part of his estate to the Garrett Biblical Insitute, now of Evanston,
Illinois. See Chicago Daily News, November 24, 1934, for an account of
Garrett and of the land speculation of 1 834-1 836.

"The earliest 'Chicago Book and Stationery Store' was that of Aaron Rus-
sell, formerly of Boston, and Benjamin H. Clift, from Philadelphia, whoadvertised in the Democrat of August 26, 1834, that they intended opening
a store of that description adjoining P. Carpenter's drug establishment,
on Water Street. The partnership was dissolved October 22, 1835, and
Mr. Clift announced that he would continue the business. In the Americanof June 18, 1836, B. H. Clift advertised law, theological, medical andmiscellaneous books, stationery, and paper-hanging." (A. T. Andreas,

Differs from the ICHi and Streeter copies of this title, not only in the
typography of the title page and in dimensions, but also in the composition
of the text. This issue lacks the "Act supplemental to an act to incorporate
the city of Chicago . . . Approved 4th March, 1837," which concludes p. 23
in the other issue, and therefore may be the earlier of the two.

This booklet was not printed by Rudd, but by Robert Fergus, to whomthe contract had been transferred. According to a statement by Fergus,
there remained six blank pages. For these he set up at the case, without
copy, a brief business directory of the city. This constituted, therefore,
the first Chicago Directory. The last six pages consist of advertisements,
one being a most interesting notice of Rudd's establishment, dated De-

The Harbor and River Convention of 1847 was the first great gathering
to put Chicago "on the map" as the rallying point for the whole north-
west. It was occasioned by President Polk's veto of the River and Harbor
Bill in August, 1846, a bill which included an appropriation for the
development of Chicago's harbor. The convention met in protest against
the president's summary death-blow to Chicago's hopes of growth
through harbor improvements, which thus became a political issue in
the campaign of 1848 (see no. 142, below). Among the delegates to this
convention were two future presidents—Millard Fillmore, from Buffalo,
who was elected vice president in 1848 and became president on the
death of Zachary Taylor, and Abraham Lincoln, a delegate from Sanga-
mon County, Illinois.
Included are letters from Henry Clay, Martin Van Buren, and Daniel
Webster.

PATENT YA. REAPER.
Chicago, 4th December, 1849.,
The nai»-faction iriven by the sale at this place, of 896 of the above Machine* in184S, aad «/ abeat IdOO ia IS4», which were distributed through the Wheat Growing districts of the Worth Westers
, States, has bcea s* aaiversal a» to reader wholly unnecessary the publication of any certificates, or even long advertise-
|asest*. Their erteaaive use has so triumphantly established their superiority over all others, (notwithstanding their pa-rade of certificate*,) that it is sal; uecessery to refer the Fur tners to the large nutaber of H< Cormick's Reapers sold ia i
P*a* years and the largely increased demand for them, aad to eait their attention to some improvements made in those!
BsBttafaetared fiwr the next Harveat.
The Improvement* introduced into the Reaper for I Hlft, were estimate d by manyto bare doable its value and the drjsagbt to be about ahorse power lighter. In addition to those, several importantones are made ;c the Machiue* maawJactared far the serf harvest. The change in the height or eutting can now be madeia a very few inmates and with very little trouble. The fiagers have been so altered in shape and position, os better to •
gather the grata sad seeare it while betop eat a ad at the same time better to prnteet the sickle and facilitate the eutting,i tW the forme.- woedea ground wheel, as iron eae is substituted. The object of several other changes has been to per-i/«c' the Reaper : these improvements to affect its entire operation, that the warrant in the printed order for a Reaper, <
while ia all other respects the same, is increased from ant and m half as heretofore, to (tea aeraa per hour, which will beconsidered a sufficient t*dartrmrmt »/ the imprarementt.
j
Some person* have been engaged la itiTr'injfement* of the ander-signed'a Patentduriag the past year ; several seeh have promptly desisted on being notified ; it was hoped that ull would have followed i
their examp l e . The undersigned bow warns all, that be is resolved to prosecute every one who is making or selling Kea-]
