Manuscripts
This document lists the twenty-three articles of the constitution of the Vineyard Mining Company, dated 1849, attested and signed by Edward Crocker and Frederick Pease. Following the constitution are minutes from various meetings of the company, from 1850-1851, the first of which took place at the home of William H. Munroe, in Edgartown, Massachusetts. The Company appears to have been formed prior to departure for California, where it intends to base its operations. They will embark aboard the ship Sarah, captained by John O. Morse.

This is an anonymous copy of the Jefferys map of 1758, completely re-engraved. The scale is slightly different and the cartouche lacks a decorative border. Stevens surmises this may have been a proof copy of a map to be issued by Thomas Bowles or John Bowles but held until peace negotiations were completed. The map was later issued ca. 1765 by John Bowles and Carington Bowles, see 18218. Submap: A sketch of the Remaining part of the Ohio R., &c. MS note: 18216. Prime meridian: London, Philadelphia. Relief: pictorial. Graphic Scale: Miles. Projection: Pseudocylindrical. Printing Process: Copper engraving. Verso Text: Stamped: V.
