These issues of the "Millennial Star" cover the founding of the British Mission, through the expulsion of the Saints from Nauvoo, the founding of Deseret, the American Civil War and up to the early 1930s. "Millennial Star" was a newspaper penned for Saints in the United Kingdom. "The Star" provided the important function of disseminating doctrine and thoughts from leaders, and also informing the Saints of news from their American counterparts. Founded in 1840 by Parley Pratt, this paper enjoyed the longest run of any L.D.S periodical, ceasing publication in 1970. This important set of periodicals belonged to the prominent and widely influential Salt Lake City businessman Herbert S. Auerbach, with his notes present at the head of many of the issues. These notes are often in reference to the rareness of a specific volume. Herbert S. Auerbach was a Salt Lake City, Utah businessman widely known for his large personal collection of Western Americana and material relating to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. His collection was the focus of two important sales, which took place in 1947 and 1948, and which resulted in two distinguished catalogues titled "The Distinguished Collection of Western Americana: Books, Newspapers and Pamphlets, Many relating to the Mormon Church,"produced by Parke-Bernet Galleries, and issued in two parts. These catalogues are viewed as excellent reference sources for early Mormon materials. The introduction to a later Respess Press catalogue states, "Mr. Auerbach's interest in pioneer lore was sparked both by his travels through the country as a mining engineer and by the tales his father and uncle told of their experiences in the West during the gold rush years and after. His grandparents had crossed the Plains in the early years of the western expansion, indeed his grandmother was the first Jewish woman to travel overland, and their stories enthralled him. With a background that included western pioneers, as well as first generation immigrants, Herbert made a devoted study of western history that resulted in one of the great collections of Western Americana ever assembled." Herbert, along with his brother, Frederick, founded the firm F. Auerbach & Brothers in Salt Lake City. The firm later became the Auerbach Company, one of the prominent mercantile companies of the region. In 1925, Herbert was elected to the Utah state senate.

First edition. First edition. Unbound, removed from a larger volume. 44 p. Early and unusually comprehensive 1806 proposal for a federally centered national university, reviewed by Thomas Jefferson and introduced in the U.S. Senate. Joel Barlow's Prospectus of a National Institution, dated 24 January 1806, outlines an ambitious plan for a federally centered university at the seat of government, issued at a moment when the young republic was still defining the relationship between national authority, science, and education. The paper proposes a comprehensive establishment intended to operate on a truly national scale. At the core of Barlow's scheme is the union of two functions often kept separate in Europe: the advancement of knowledge through associations of scientific men and the dissemination of that knowledge through the instruction of youth. By combining research and formal education within a single institution, he argued, the United States could create an establishment of broader practical utility, embracing scientific and technical training alongside liberal instruction and teacher preparation. He further warned that the vast territorial extent and regional diversity of the United States might produce a tendency for different regions to diverge in sentiment; a national university devoted to literature, science, and the arts would, in his view, help foster a "harmony of sentiment" and strengthen the community of interest on which the federal Union depended. The project circulated at the highest levels of the early republic: Barlow transmitted a draft bill to Thomas Jefferson, who reviewed it and returned it with suggested revisions, and the measure was introduced in the Senate in 1806. Although it did not succeed, the Prospectus forms part of the early national debate over federal support for higher learning and scientific organization. Barlow (1754-1812), a Connecticut-born poet, diplomat, and member of the Connecticut Wits, was active within the intellectual networks of the early republic. After the War of Independence he spent many years in Europe, especially in France, where he moved in advanced Enlightenment circles and developed a cosmopolitan outlook. He maintained correspondence with leading American figures, including Jefferson, and his Prospectus belongs to the broader founding-era movement to establish a national university at the federal capital-a project advocated at various times by Benjamin Rush, George Washington, James Madison, and Jefferson. Though never realized, Barlow's paper stands among the fullest early statements of a national educational institution linking scientific research, advanced instruction, and republican statecraft.

First complete edition, 8vo, pp. 58; full-p. map in the pagination; removed; title page separated. Published by Smith earlier the same year, but without 7-page declaration of John Sappington received after the publication of the former. Jefferson supplies evidence to prove that Michael Cresap and his party murdered the Indian Logan's family and other peaceful Indians. The account was refuted years later in a biography of Cresap by John L. Jacob, a revolutionary officer and late clergyman who had married Cresap's widow, and "resulted in the reopening of old sores by Doddridge in his then recently published Notes of 1824. The defense is complete and the biography is of absorbing interest" (see Streeter III, 1335). Evans 37701; Sabin 35880; Sowerby 3225; Vail, Frontier, 1235.
