Carey, Edward L. (sold)
Edward L. Carey (April 7, 1805 - June 16, 1845) was an American publisher, aesthete, art lover, and the co-founder, along with Abraham Hart, of the prominent publishing firm Carey and Hart. Carey was the son of American publisher Mathew Carey (1760 - 1839) and Bridget Flahaven Carey. He initially worked for his brother, Henry Charles Carey who, along with relative and partner Isaac Lea, purchased their father's publishing house in 1822, rebranding it as Carey and Lea. Eventually, Edward Carey became a junior partner in the firm, acquiring half of the shares belonging to Lea, and the imprint briefly changed to Carey, Lea, and Carey. On November 1, 1829, Edward Carey detached himself from his brother's firm and formed a partnership with Abraham Hart (1810 - 1885), an employee of Carey, Hart, and Carey. This firm, known as Carey and Hart, was successful for twenty-five years, publishing works by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, William Cullen Bryant, and Eliza Leslie. Carey suffered from declining health during the last three years of his life. According to William Gilmore Sims, Carey died 'after suffering for some years from a tedious affliction of the spine.' Carey died on June 16, 1845 at the age of 40. Before his death, he was elected President of the Academy of Fine Arts, but declined the position due to his health.

This is a first edition 1846 Samuel Augustus Mitchell map of Iowa. The map depicts the region from central Iowa to Wisconsin and Illinois and from Lake St. Croix to Missouri. Only the extreme southeastern portion of the territory has been surveyed, with the familiar grid of the Public Land Survey System providing some organization. A handful of counties are illustrated, labeled, and shaded different colors to allow for easy differentiation. Iowa City and Dubuque are labeled, as are several other cities and towns. The rest of Iowa is divided between the Sioux, Sauks and Foxes, Iowas, and Pottawattamies. The only other land here is a 40-mile wide neutral zone of land that was purchased from the Sauk and the Sioux in an effort to establish territorial rights between the tribes. This treaty, agreed to in 1825, was facilitated by William Clark, of Lewis and Clark fame, and the surveying was completed by U.S. Deputy Surveyor Captain Nathan Boone, son of Daniel Boone.
