[Nathan Bowen]. The New-England Diary, Or, Almanack for the Year of Our Lord Christ, 1736...By a Native of New-England. Boston: Printed by T. Fleet, for the Booksellers, 1736.

First edition. Twelvemo. 16 pages.

Hand-sewn self wrappers. Moderate wear, soiling, and spotting. A few scattered ink stains. A very good copy with a unique history.

This wonderful early almanac is interleaved with seven leaves (one detached) comprising a manuscript daily weather record for 1736. In addition to the weather, the ink notations record several deaths and burials. Several New England towns are mentioned, such as Framingham, Medway, Brimfield, Worcester, Medfield, Walpole, Rutland, Providence, and Boston. The person of record was most likely a traveling minister.

Osborne's New-Hampshire Register: With an Almanack, for the Year 1788. Portsmouth: Printed and Sold by George Jerry Osborne, [n.d.].

First edition. Twentyfourmo. 48 pages. With a small 42-page contemporary manuscript diary dated from August 22 to September 6, 1788 bound in after page [16].

Original plain paper wrappers. Housed in a red cloth solander box. Minor wear to leaves. Significant ink notations to covers and a few internal leaves, not affecting much text. Inked list of names and initials on a front blank, among them "Josh. Wentworth / Col. Langdon / Col. Long /" and "John Parker's boy(?)." A few tiny ink stains. Very good.

The manuscript diary begins: "August 22, 1788. Set of[f] from Portsmouth on a tour into the Western parts of the State of New Hampshire, in order to Visit & examin[e] into the Quality &tc. of lands found in the State..." and ends "...got home on the evening Sept 6, 1788." The narrative in-between tells of the writer's encounters with farmers and inhabitants of townships such as Litchfield, Peterborough, Washington, Bradford, Sutton, Salisbury, Chester, Dunbarton, and natural landmarks such as Smiths River. The manuscript offers a fascinating view of "history from below" and a wonderful contemporary account of life in the fledgling United States of America.

[Boston Massacre]. The Trial of the British Soldiers, of the 29th Regiment of Foot, For the Murder of Crispus Attucks, Samuel Gray, Samuel Maverick, James Caldwell, and Patrick Carr, Monday Evening, March 5, 1770.... Boston: Belcher and Armstrong, 1807.

Octavo. 120 pages.

Later half calf over marbled boards with titles stamped in gilt on the spine. With the original rear board bound in back. Ex-Worcester Law Library copy with ink stamp on the title page and "Discarded" stamp on the verso of the title page. Contemporary owner's signature on the verso of the front free endpaper and the last page of text. Pages toned with some scattered light to moderate foxing throughout. All things considered, a very good copy.

This work is essentially a transcript of the trial of the British soldiers who were accused of killing five civilians in what became known as the Boston Massacre. Notably, the soldiers were defended by none other than John Adams who argued that the soldiers were endangered by the mob, which he called "a motley rabble of saucy boys, negroes, and molattoes, Irish teagues and outlandish jack tarrs." Only two of the soldiers were found guilty, and then only to a lesser charge of manslaughter.

George Catlin. Letters and Notes on the Manners, Customs, and Condition of the North American Indians. By Geo. Catlin. With four hundred illustrations, carefully engraved from his original paintings. New York: Wiley and Putnam, 1841.

First American edition. Two octavo volumes. vii, 264; viii, 266. Frontispiece. Hundreds of black and white illustrations. Three maps, one folding. Appendices. Errata sheet.

Original cloth over boards. Blind designs to boards. Front boards decorated with artist's palette design. Gilt lettering to spines. Bookplate and inked name on front endpapers of both volumes by a previous owner, prominent Baltimorean James Howard McHenry (1820-1888). Some sunning to the bindings; moderate shelf-wear. Slight foxing to some of the plates. A tight, clean, unsophisticated set of this classic in very good condition.

The errata sheet reads: "Although it may appear to the reader, from the absence of numbers, that there are several of the Illustrations wanting, yet he will find that all the plates referred to in the text, are in the Book, and in their places, as the author designed them, and the work therefore complete." Howes maintains that the first British and first American editions lacked the plates numbered 23, 137, 142, 149, 159, 246, 247, and that there were added plates numbered 101 ½, 210 ½, and three unnumbered plates. This copy follows Howes, however plates number 1 and 2 are missing. Also, plates 62, 252, and 271/272 are out of sequence. The plates are engravings after drawings Catlin made of his own paintings from his tour of North America (from 1832 to 1839) when he visited, according to his records, forty-eight tribes. His hope to sell the paintings to the American government failed, and so he began to tour his Indian Gallery to paying audiences in the United States and abroad. While in England, Catlin began work on this book, preparing the images for the engraver and editing his field notes for the text, which was presented as a series of letters.

EDWARD S. CURTIS (1868-1952) The North American Indian, Portfolio 1; The Large Plates Supplementing Volume One of The North American Indian. Cambridge, Massachusetts: Edward S. Curtis, 1907.

Portfolio one, complete with all 39 large-format photogravures on Holland Van Gelder paper after photographs by Curtis. Comprising large folio plates 1-39. Each plate printed on Van Gelder Holland with letterpress copyright credit, title, plate numbers and John Andrew & Son printer's credit (in the margin). With the printed plate list. One in the proposed edition of 500 (it is believed that only 272 sets overall were ever completed and published). Image area measures approximately 15.5 x 11 inches or the reverse (some larger), sheets measure approximately 22 x 18 inches.

Plates loose as issued in a gilt-numbered brown three-quarter morocco portfolio with flaps and ties (one tie lacking), with the number "1" stamped in gilt on the front cover. Portfolio with miscellaneous bumps, scuffs and scratches, and some discoloration to the boards, small split to leather at the bottom of the front joint. Plates separated by archival tissue or paper. Plates with small pencil note on the rear lower right corner: "ESC - 10936". Each plate with small unobtrusive ink stamp to rear (not visible from front): "Hill Reference Library, St. Paul" and with similar perforated library stamp to the bottom of the printed plate list. Penciled library call numbers to the rear of the plate list, with "Curtis, Edward S." in pencil on the front of the plate list, along with penciled checkmarks on numbers for each plate. There is light offsetting to the backs of some plates. Some plates with small pin-holes in the corners. Altogether a wonderful example of this, the first portfolio from Curtis, that includes many iconic images such as "The Vanishing Race-Navaho" which Curtis chose to be the first image in the series because it expressed so well his thoughts that inspired the work.

The North American Indian was published, between 1907 and 1930, as twenty quarto volumes with photogravures and text, and each volume supplemented by a portfolio of large format examples of the images.

Edward Sheriff Curtis was born in Wisconsin in 1868 and while still a boy moved with his family to a rural area of Minnesota, where he learned to enjoy outdoor life and camping, and began his lifelong fascination with American Indians. By 1888 his family had relocated to Washington Territory, settling in the Puget Sound, shortly after which Curtis's father passed away leaving Edward to assume responsibility for supporting the family. 1892 saw Curtis marry Clara Phillips and open a photography studio in Seattle with Thomas Guptill, a successful partnership that lasted until 1897 when Curtis continued the business on his own. In the mid-1890s he began to photograph local Native Americans and won the grand prize at the National Photographic convention in 1899. Curtis made invaluable connections while working as a photographer on a series of scientific and surveying expeditions, and between the years 1899 and 1906 he met railroad tycoon Edward Harriman, President Theodore Roosevelt, and J.P. Morgan, whom Curtis had approached to finance The North American Indian project at the outset. Over the next twenty-five years, Curtis would struggle to finish his monumental project, and finally published the 19th and 20th volumes in 1930, by which time he is believed to have created more than 40,000 negatives.

Theodore Roosevelt was impressed with Curtis's work, and continued to encourage him throughout his career, writing: "Because of the singular combination of qualities with which he has been blessed, and because of his extraordinary success in making and using his opportunities, [Curtis] has been able to do what no other man has done; what, as far as we can see, no other man could do. He is an artist who works out of doors and not in a closet. He is a close observer, whose qualities of mind and body fit him to make his observations out in the field, surrounded by the wildlife he commemorates. He has lived on intimate terms with many different tribes of the mountains and plains. He knows them as they hunt, as they travel, as they go about their various avocations on the march and in camp. He knows their medicine men and their sorcerers, their chiefs and warriors, their young men and maidens. He has not only seen their vigorous outward existence, but has caught glimpses, such as few white men ever catch, into that strange spiritual and mental life of theirs; from whose inner most recesses all white men are forever barred". [---Volume I of The North American Indian, from the forward by Theodore Roosevelt].

Peter Force. American Archives: Consisting of a Collection of Authentick Records, State Papers, Debates, and Letters and Other Notices of Publick Affairs, the Whole Forming a Documentary History of the Origin and Progress of the North American Colonies; of the Causes and Accomplishment of the American Revolution; and of the Constitution of Government for the United States, to the Final Ratification Thereof. Complete in nine volumes, comprising: Fourth Series: From the King's Message, of March 7th, 1774 to the Declaration of Independence, by the United States, in 1776. Washington, D.C., 1837-1846. Complete in six volumes. [and:] Fifth Series: From the Declaration of Independence, in 1776, to the Definitive Treaty of Peace with Great Britain, in 1783. Washington, D.C., 1848-1853. Complete in three volumes.

First edition. The set complete in nine large quarto volumes (13.75 x 8.75 inches), comprising the complete Fourth Series and Fifth Series [all published]. Pages double-columned, with each column enumerated as a separate page; each volume approximately 1,800 "columns." Indices. Maps, facsimile documents (some folding).

Modern black cloth, with gilt titles and rules on spine. Occasional foxing. As is often the case, this set lacks the Declaration of Independence facsimile in Volume I of the Fifth Series, originally inserted between columns 1,596 and 1,597, but here excised. Volume III of the Fourth Series has one signature (containing columns 929-992) detached but laid in. A beautifully preserved set, infrequently encountered complete. Fine condition.

Peter Force's unfinished mammoth series documenting the early history of the North American colonies. He had initially planned twenty volumes in six "series," but only nine were completed: the volumes containing documents of the Revolutionary War era. The First, Second, Third, and Sixth Series were never published. "This great storehouse of British Colonial and American history was printed by order of the United States Government. It was the intention to divide the work into six series, from 1493 to 1789. The nine volumes described are all that have appeared" (Sabin).

Peter Force (1790-1868) drew on his own huge private collection of printed and manuscript documents relating to the history of North America and the United States as sources for these Archives. When the Library of Congress was established in 1867, one year before his death, his treasure trove of documents was purchased -- by an Act of Congress -- for the astounding sum of $100,000.

A massive work and an invaluable collection of Americana.

Benjamin Franklin. The Art of Swimming Made Safe, Easy, Pleasant, and Healthful. To Which are Added, Cautions to Learners, and Advice to Bathers, by the Late Celebrated Dr. Benjamin Franklin. London: W. S. Johnson, [n.d., ca. 1850].

"Johnson's Edition." Twelvemo. iv, [20] pages. Hand-colored folding frontispiece depicting diagrams of various swimming techniques.

Original printed wrappers. Front wrapper detached but present. Wrappers chipped and browned with a few shallow creases; small, neat embossed book store stamp in lower margin of rear wrapper. A couple of leaves with chipped fore-edges. Frontispiece and title page splitting along spine. Fragile, but in generally very good condition.

Benjamin Franklin learned to swim as a boy in Boston and was such an avid swimmer that he invented the swim fin when he was only ten years old. When he first visited London, he swam in the Thames River and even considered becoming a full-time swimming instructor. Franklin's early and enthusiastic encouragement of swimming earned him a place in the International Swimming Hall of Fame in 1968. Originally written in 1781, this instructional pamphlet is surprisingly scarce in any edition.

[The Federalist Papers]. [Alexander Hamilton, James Madison, and John Jay]. The New-York Packet. January 11, 1788. New York: Samuel and John Loudon, 1788.

Four pages. Single bifoliate sheet of newsprint measuring approximately 18 x 22.5 inches, folded into two 18 x 11.25-inch leaves. Minor wear, with a few closed tears to the edges. One vertical and one horizontal fold. A few horizontal creases. Light occasional spotting. Inner vertical fold is reinforced with light brown tape, running the length of the fold. Short 2.25-inch horizontal tape repair to page 3-4. All in all, an about fine example.

This handsome artifact is most notable for printing "The Federalist, No. 35, To the People of the State of New-York" under the heading "MISCELLANY" at the top of page 2. Although numbered 35 in this newspaper, this particular entry is actually Federalist No. 29, attributed to Alexander Hamilton, in which he argues that a smaller, more uniform, federally-regulated militia would function best for the new nation. The letter runs two columns and six lines of a third column, counting the signature "Publius" at its conclusion. The printing is a bit light in the middle of the second column, but can still be read easily. Additionally, printed at the lower left side of the front page is an advertisement and solicitation of orders for McLean's 1788 first edition of The Federalist, which "will be printed on a fine paper and good Type." A fascinating and Federalist-heavy New York newspaper.

[Alexander Hamilton, James Madison, and John Jay]. The Federalist: A Collection of Essays, Written in Favour of the New Constitution, as Agreed upon by the Federal Convention, September 17, 1787. In Two Volumes. Vol. I.[II.]. New-York: Printed and Sold by J. and A. M'Lean, 1788.

First collected edition of the "Federalist Papers" -- "the most famous and influential American political work" (Howes). One of 500 copies printed. Two volumes bound in one. Twelvemo in sixes (6.4375 x 3.875 inches; 163 x 99 mm.). vi, 227, [1, blank]; vi, 384 pages. Bound without the initial blank leaf in each volume. In the last two gatherings of Volume II, watermarks of Delaware's first paper mill, Joshua Gilpin & Company, are visible: the top of a fleur-de-lis on leaves Hh4 and Ii6, and "BRANDYWIN[E]" on leaves Hh6 and Ii4.

Contemporary sheep. Smooth spine divided into five panels with six decorative gilt rules and with burgundy morocco label decoratively tooled and lettered in gilt, board edges tooled in blind, edges stained yellow.

Binding somewhat rubbed and worn, with a few scratches or scuff marks on the covers, and a few small areas where the sheep has been worn away; corners lightly bumped, with the board exposed on the lower front corner; a couple of small faint stains on the front cover; a larger, darker stain on the rear cover and dampstaining at the lower edge; spine with a few vertical cracks; small portion of the head of the spine worn away, including the uppermost gilt rule, with the headband exposed; tiny piece chipped from lettering label; joints tender and just starting; hinges cracked, but holding; two small dampstains on the top edge and a larger semi-circular white adhesion on the lower edge; endpapers lightly foxed and browned at the edges from the turn-in glue.

Text slightly browned and lightly foxed, as usual; some occasional minor marginal soiling. A few corners creased; several leaves lightly creased either horizontally or diagonally before printing, sometimes affecting a few letters, but with no loss: A2 (pages 3/4), E2 (pages 51/52), E5 (pages 57/58), I2 (pages 99/100), K2 (pages 111/112), M5 (pages 141/142), O5 (pages 165/166), and T1-T6 (pages 217-[228]) in Volume I; I2 (pages 99/100), I5 (pages 105/106), T2 (pages 219/220), U2 (pages 231/232), X5 (pages 249/250), Z2 (pages 267/268), and Ff2 (pages 339/340) in Volume II.

There are a few printing flaws in Volume II: several letters in six lines on page 174 are faintly printed; a few letters in two lines on page 91, three letters in one word on page 201, and three letters in one word on page 266 did not print; and page 311 is unevenly printed.

In Volume I, the lower corner of the title and the two following leaves are creased; small piece torn from the outer blank margin of A3 (pages 5/6); one-and-one-half inch split (paper flaw) in the text of A6 (pages 11/12), affecting three words in one line on the recto and four words on the verso; tiny crease and tear to the upper corner of B2 (pages 15/16); the lower blank corner of D1 (pages 37/38) is torn away; one-inch tear to the outer blank margin of E3 (pages 53/54), entering the text and just touching a couple of letters on the verso; tiny adhesion to the lower blank margin of page 76; tiny crease to L2 (pages 123/124), affecting one letter on the recto and four letters on the verso; tiny hole in P3 (pages (173/174), just touching one letter on the recto; one-inch tear to the lower blank margin of P4 (pages 175/176), affecting one letter in the footnote on the recto; three-inch horizontal tear to Q2 (pages 183/184), affecting a couple of letters on the recto, with an early repair in the outer margin.

Volume II with a small adhesion to the lower blank margin of the title-page; tiny hole in the outer blank margin of Aa1 (pages 277/278) and the upper blank margin of Cc3 (pages 305/306) and Hh3 (pages 365/366); the paper is very thin on Gg3 (pages 355/356), with a tiny hole affecting a couple of letters. There are marginal pencil markings on pages 72, 75, 194, and 195 in Volume I and pages 74, 78, and 236 in Volume II. Overall, this is an excellent copy, with an extremely important association.

This copy of The Federalist originally belonged to Jonathan Dayton (October 16, 1760-October 9, 1824), Revolutionary War officer and, at age twenty-six, the youngest person to sign the United States Constitution. With a previous owner's ink inscription on the front free endpaper: "Wm. W. Coriell / 1824 / b. Jno Dayton." An ink signature, presumably that of Jonathan Dayton, has been clipped from the head of the title in each volume (approximately three-eights inch clipped from the title in Volume I, and between three-fourths inch and one inch in Volume II, resulting in the loss of the word "The" in the title), with the tips of the descenders still visible.

According to Bernstein (page 237), "it is now agreed that Hamilton wrote Nos. 1, 6-9, 11-13, 15-17, 21-36, 59-61, and 65-86; that Madison wrote Nos. 10, 14, 18-20 (with reference to some material provided by Hamilton), 37-58, 62, and 63; and that Jay wrote Nos. 2-5 and 64." This copy has the initial of the author written in ink in Jonathan Dayton's neat hand on the following pages: "J" for "John Jay" on pages 11, 16, and 21 in Volume I, and page 201 in Volume II (for Nos. 3-5, and 64); "M" for "James Madison" on pages 52, 79, 102, 107, 114, and 126 in Volume I, and pages [1], 10, 20, 28, 37, 48, 57, 68, 77, 84, 92, 101, 107, 112, 116, 122, 128, 135, 141, 147, 153, 160, 184, and 192 in Volume II (for Nos. 10, 14, 17-19, and 21, 37-58, 62 and 63); and "H" for "Alexander Hamilton" on pages 166, 172, and 178 in Volume II (for Nos. 59-61). The ink initial "H" on page 178 in Volume II is smudged, with an ink splotch.

"These eighty-five essays on the Constitution, almost entirely written by Hamilton and Madison (probably only five were by Jay) and published in the New York newspapers under the name of 'Publius,' were a step in Hamilton's campaign to win over a hostile majority in New York for a ratification of the Constitution. To the people of the time the collected essays were little more than a huge Federalist pamphlet. A generation passed before it was recognized that these essays by the principal author of the Constitution and its brilliant advocate were the most authoritative interpretation of the Constitution as drafted by the Convention of 1787. As a commentary and exposition on the Constitution the influence of the Federalist has been profound" (Grolier, 100 American).

"When Alexander Hamilton invited his fellow New Yorker John Jay and James Madison, a Virginian, to join him in writing the series of essays published as The Federalist, it was to meet the immediate need of convincing the reluctant New York State electorate of the necessity of ratifying the newly proposed Constitution of the United States. The eighty-five essays, under the pseudonym 'Publius', were designed as political propaganda, not as a treatise of political philosophy. In spite of this The Federalist survives as one of the new nation's most important contributions to the theory of government...The first number of The Federalist appeared on 27 October 1787 in The Independent Journal, or The General Advertiser and newspaper publication continued in this and three other papers, The New York Packet, The Daily Advertiser, and The New York Journal and Daily Patriotic Register, through number 77, 2 April 1788. The first thirty-six essays were published in book form on 22 March 1788 by J. and A. McLean of New York and a second volume containing essays 37-85 followed on 28 May. Thus numbers 78-85 were published in book form before they appeared in the popular press" (Printing and the Mind of Man).

Volume II contains the complete text of the Constitution, headed "Articles of the New Constitution; as agreed upon by the Federal Convention, September 17, 1787," and the resolutions of the Constitutional Convention (pages [367]-384).

The original owner of this copy, Jonathan Dayton, was born in Elizabethtown (now Elizabeth), New Jersey, the son of Elias Dayton (1737-1807), a wealthy merchant and Revolutionary War General. After graduating from the Academy at Elizabethtown, run by Tapping Reeve and Francis Barber (and which Alexander Hamilton and Aaron Burr had also attended), Dayton attended the College of New Jersey (now Princeton University).

He left the College of New Jersey in 1775 to fight in the Revolution (though he would receive an honorary degree in 1776). Serving both under his father, General Elias Dayton, in the Second New Jersey Regiment and then in the Third New Jersey Regiment, and under the Marquis de Lafayette, Dayton achieved the rank of captain at the age of nineteen.

After the war Dayton returned home, studied law, and established a law practice. When his father declined to be a delegate to the federal Constitutional Convention in 1787, Jonathan Dayton took his place, representing New Jersey. At age twenty-six, he was the youngest delegate, and he became the youngest person to sign the Constitution on September 17, 1787. Dayton served in the United States House of Representatives from 1791 to 1799, as Speaker of the House of Representatives from December 7, 1795 to March 3, 1799, and for one term as United States Senator (1799-1805).

Dayton was a close acquaintance of Aaron Burr, and after supplying Burr with funds, was linked to Burr's alleged western conspiracy. When Burr was charged with treason in 1807, Dayton and five others were indicted on the same charge. After Burr's acquittal on grounds that there was no proof of an overt act of treason, Dayton's case was dismissed. His political career never recovered from the scandal, although in 1814-1815, Dayton served two terms in the New Jersey Assembly.

In 1795, Dayton purchased Boxwood Hall as his home in Elizabethtown, and resided there until his death. In 1824, Dayton hosted the Marquis de Lafayette at Boxwood, during his tour of the United States. One week after Lafayette left, Dayton died.

Dayton had invested heavily in land speculation in the Ohio region, and because he owned 250,000 acres of land between the Great Miami and Little Miami Rivers, in the vicinity of what is now Dayton, Ohio, the city, settled in 1796, was named after him.

Jonathan Dayton's name appears on page 381 of Volume II as one of the witnesses who signed the Constitution.

Alexander von Humboldt and Aimé Jacques Alexandre Bonpland. Vues des Cordillères, et monumens des peuples indigènes de l'Amérique. Paris: Chez F. Schoell, 1813.

Second edition of one of the most important publications resulting from the monumental expedition to America in 1799-1804 by German scientist and explorer, Alexander von Humboldt, and his companion, botanist Aimé Bonpland. Large folio (22 x 16.25 inches). [vi], xvi, 350 pages, including half-title, printed title, and engraved dedication leaf. Complete with sixty-nine plates on sixty-eight leaves (of which twenty-four are hand-colored, color-printed, or color-printed and finished by hand, including the double-page color plate of the Chimborazo volcano (with plate title in the lower margin), and four are printed in sepia), depicting views, plans, archaeological ruins, codices, and native costumes. This copy is complete, containing the text (pages 272-350) and plates (50-69), missing in many copies.

Three-quarter brown leather over marbled boards with gilt titles and decorations to spine. Binding worn and abraded, with spine detached and corners exposed. Diagonal crease to front free endpaper and half-title page. Even toning to some plates. Some offsetting from plates to facing pages. Scattered foxing and thumb-soiling throughout, mainly marginal, but more pronounced to some plates and text leaves. A very good copy of this magnificent atlas.

"This atlas was issued to accompany the first part of the Voyage de Humboldt et Bonpland. Alexander von Humboldt was an eminent German naturalist, geographer, traveler, and scientific explorer. He was the son of the King of Prussia's chamberlain, brother of a prominent Prussian diplomat, and a friend of Georg Forster. From 1799 to 1804, he traveled with the French botanist Aimé Bonpland on a scientific journey to Spanish South America, Cuba, Mexico, and Central America. They sailed from La Coruña on board Pizarro for America, where the Orinoco River was explored by boat. The extensive scientific explorations were made in the Andes and in Mexico. Humboldt, the inventor of isothermic lines, was especially interested in climate, in particular the effects of elevations and of ocean currents, in tropical storms, and in volcanoes. One of the more spectacular plates in this work depicts the great volcano of Chimborazo in the Andean highlands. Humboldt's expedition was fundamental to the development of the sciences of physical geography and meteorology, and he made important contributions to the study of ethnicity and culture. Local peoples and Mexican and Peruvian antiquities received attentive analysis. After his return to Europe, Humboldt spent twenty years in Paris supervising the publication of the results of his explorations. Many of the plates were engraved from Humboldt's drawings, and he supervised the hand-coloring of the plates for accuracy. Contained herein is the first publication of any part of the famed Dresden Codex, the most extensive surviving pre-Columbian codex, as well as color plates derived from the Codex Mendoza and other important codices" (Hill).

The Vue des Cordillères is notable not only for its remarkable colored plates of scenes in Central and South America, particularly the magnificent double-page plate of the great volcano of Chimborazo in the Andean highlands, but also as being the first extensive treatment of surviving pre-Columbian and immediately post-Columbian Indian codices.

"Every class of Mexican or Aztec, and Peruvian Antiquities, receives in this work the clearest philosophical analysis. Many of the plates are beautifully coloured; indeed, it is the most beautiful and generally interesting of Humboldt's Works...the collation in some copies is pp. xvi, 350; 69 plates [as in the present copy]" (Sabin).

John Lawson. The History of Carolina; Containing the Exact Description and Natural History of That Country. Together with the Present State Thereof, and a Journal of a Thousand Miles, Travel'd Thro' Several Nations of Indians, Giving a Particular Account of Their Customs, Manner, &c. London: Printed for W. Taylor at the Ship, and J. Baker at the Black-Boy, 1714.

First edition, second issue. Small quarto. [xi], 258, [1, publisher's advertisement]. Complete with the folding map and engraved animal plate.

Contemporary full paneled calf with gilt armorial centerpiece on the boards, reading "The Society of Writers of the Signet." Spine neatly rebacked, with original crimson leather title label laid down. Moderate wear to the board edges and corners. Light foxing to map. Scattered spotting throughout, heaviest at the beginning and end leaves. Ink initials to verso of title page. The letter "L" in pencil in most fore-edge margins. An excellent copy of a rare early work on the Carolinas, written by a man who was, depending on which source one believes, either buried alive by Indians or burned at the stake by them.

"Little is known about Lawson's early life. In 1700, being 'in a mood for travel,' he accidentally met with a gentleman...who assured him that 'Carolina was the best country to visit.' He landed at Charles Town, South Carolina, in August, 1700, and in December of that year started on an overland journey, traveling one thousand miles 'in Indian country.' He went up the coast to the Santee River, thence to the Catawba, crossed the Yadkin, traveled through the interior of North Carolina, and finally arrived on the 'Pamptioough River,' in February, 1701. He was one of the incorporators of Bath, the oldest town in North Carolina, and with von Graffenreid was the co-founder of New Bern (1710). He was surveyor-general of North Carolina, and while engaged in surveying work was killed by the Indians, near the present town of Snow Hill, North Carolina, in September 1711. Lawson's book is one of the most valuable of the early histories of North Carolina, and it is certainly one of the best travel accounts of the early eighteenth-century colonies. He describes the soil, climate, trees, plants, animals, fish, and almost every other aspect of the colony. It is particularly good on 'natural history' and Indians. M. C. Tyler says it is 'an uncommonly strong and sprightly book'" (Clark I: 115).

[Pony Express Bible]. The Holy Bible, Containing the Old and New Testaments, Translated Out of the Original Tongues; and With the Former Translations Diligently Compared and Revised. New York: American Bible Society, 1855 (New Testament title page dated 1858).

Thick pocket-sized volume (5 x 3.5 inches, 127 x 89 mm.), bound in eights. 1,278 pages.

In the original custom leather binding, with gilt-lettered black leather title label on spine. Binding is largely perished, with loss to leather, spine, and corners. Front board detached but present. Binding broken. One signature bound out of order: p. 448 is followed by pp. 769-780, with p. 768 followed by p. 781. Several leaves detached, but all present. Minor dampstaining affecting the first few leaves, occasional foxing throughout. Leaf containing pages 795/796 torn almost completely in half, with no loss of text. First few pages of the New Testament chipped at top right corner, with some loss of text. Several slips of paper and flower petals laid in throughout - some causing offsetting. Imprinted on the front board are the words "Presented by / Russell, Majors & Waddell / 1858" in worn gilt print, the gilt quite faint and almost completely worn away. With ink name of Russell, Majors & Waddell employee "R. J. Haligan [sic] / June 9th 1858" in neat handwritten script on the front free endpaper. A complete copy of a "Pony Express Bible" in its original, though heavily-worn, binding. Very rare, with very few extant copies located.

William Russell, Alexander Majors, and William Waddell -- the three founders of the Pony Express -- began their partnership in 1854 with the formation of Russell, Majors & Waddell, a large freighting and stage business which crisscrossed the Western frontier, providing freight, mail, and passenger service. In 1860, the company was contracted by the U.S. government to begin a fast mail delivery service between St. Joseph, Missouri and Sacramento. This service was The Pony Express, the legendary Wild West mail service with individual mounted horsemen riding in relays to cover vast distances in a short time, operating under the slogan "The mail must go through." The Pony Express service lasted a mere nineteen months, but it has become a mainstay in the lore and legend of the American West.

Partner Alexander Majors was a staunchly religious man who not only decreed that the Sabbath be observed as a day of rest for his employees, but who also insisted that his workers take an oath promising to abstain from using profane language, from drinking to excess, and from gambling. He presented his employees -- including the Pony Express riders -- with a custom-bound Bible. Over the years, this Bible has come to be known as the "Pony Express Bible." Each Bible had the words "Presented by Russell, Majors & Waddell 1858" stamped in gilt on its front cover. The Bible offered here is one of those "Pony Express Bibles" which are quite rare and are highly sought-after artifacts of the Old West.

This Bible was presented to teamster and outrider Robert James Halligan (1833-1908), an employee of Russell, Majors & Waddell who worked for the firm in the years prior to and including the days of the Pony Express, and he apparently remained in the employ of Alexander Majors even after the Pony Express was dissolved.

Halligan's daughter wrote in a statement prepared in the 1930s that her father's name was written inside the Bible by Ulysses Simpson, the train's wagon boss who was "reported to be a foster father" of the young William F. Cody who would go on to fame later as "Buffalo Bill" Cody. Cody began to work with the Russell, Majors & Waddell freighting operation as a boy. Halligan's daughter writes that Halligan remembered Cody and thought him to be about thirteen years when he first knew him. Halligan's daughter's original typed statement is included with this lot.

A historic, if well-worn, copy of the supremely rare 1858 Russell, Majors & Waddell "Pony Express Bible," passed down through generations and kept in the family of its original owner for over a century and a half.

[Dred Scott]. Benjamin C. Howard. Report of the Decision of the Supreme Court of the United States, and the Opinions of the Judges Thereof, in the Case of Dred Scott versus John F. A. Sandford. December Term, 1858. Washington: Cornelius Wendell, Printer, 1857.

First edition, first printing, Washington issue (no precedence for priority exists between the simultaneously-published Washington and New York issues). Octavo. 239 pages.

Original printed, sewn cream wrappers. Front wrapper detached but present; lacking rear wrapper and paper covering spine. Front wrapper lightly creased and with a couple of closed tears; some foxing and staining to lower fore-edge margin. Paper loss at upper fore-edge margin to first eighteen pages; large spot of foxing to last four leaves. Some offsetting throughout, but pages are generally clean and bright. In overall very good condition.

Report on the landmark ruling by the United States Supreme Court, the culmination of an eleven-year fight in which Dred Scott, a slave residing in the free state of Missouri, sued for his freedom. The extreme ruling of the Supreme Court declared that people of African descent, whether slaves or "free," were not -- and would never be -- citizens of the United States, and as such, they were not covered by the laws of the Constitution. It also asserted that the United States had no authority to prohibit slavery in federal territories. This ruling -- surely one of the most controversial rulings in U.S. judicial history -- inflamed the abolitionists and many in the Northern states, and it led directly to the fomentation of the Civil War. A major document in the history of the United States.

[Unitarian Church]. A Liturgy Collected for the Use of the Church at King's Chapel, Boston. Boston: Joshua Belcher, 1811.

Second (revised) edition of the first prayer book of America's Unitarian church. Octavo. [vi], [1]-360 pages.

Contemporary calf with the name "S. Freeman" stamped in gilt on the front board. Boards moderately worn; front board detached but present. Lower half of the front free endpaper -- containing the handwritten name and date "Sarah Freeman, March 10th 1811" -- is detached, with lower half of the leaf missing. Moderate scattered foxing. A couple of ink annotations; a few plant leaves laid in. A generally very good copy.

James Freeman (1759-1835), minister of King's Chapel in Boston for forty-three years (1783-1826), was the first preacher in America to call himself a Unitarian. Although King's Chapel (frequently referred to as Stone Chapel during the period of anti-British sentiment) was Episcopalian, Freeman altered the liturgy in 1785, eliminating all references to the Holy Trinity, the first church in America to do so. In 1811 Freeman revised his 1785 liturgy, incorporating changes he had wanted to make in 1785 but had felt his congregation was not yet ready for. One may well speculate that the Sarah Freeman who owned this liturgy in 1811 might have been a relative of James Freeman, the man who devised the first Unitarian liturgy and who led the congregation of the first Unitarian Church in America.

Charles Wilkes. Narrative of the United States Exploring Expedition, during the Years 1838, 1839, 1840, 1841, 1842. Philadelphia: Lea and Blanchard, 1845.

Third edition, and the first generally available trade edition, with the type completely reset and important corrections included. This edition was limited to 1,000 copies printed. It follows only the exceedingly rare quarto edition of 100 copies, most of which were given to foreign countries or perished in a fire, and a second quarto edition limited to 150 copies. This is the last edition which included the important atlas of five large folding maps.

Six tall octavo volumes (11 1/8 x 7 inches), including: five volumes of text, complete with two steel-engraved frontispiece portraits, sixty-two beautifully steel- or wood-engraved plates after A. T. Agate and J. Drayton (including portraits and views, all with tissue guards) and nine double-page engraved maps, plus the atlas volume of five large folding engraved maps, the first of which is colored by hand. With 295 engraved vignettes and woodcuts in the text.

Publisher's brown cloth decoratively blocked and lettered in gilt and blind. Pale yellow endpapers. A few minor tears to cloth and a bit of bumping and wear at some corners. Volume II has a dampstain to the bottom margin of a few leaves and three plates, not affecting the text but for just touching on one leaf, and just touching the corner of one plate. A bit of light foxing and faint offsetting to some maps. Volume V has a pressed tree leaf that has caused a small faint stain. In the atlas volume, there is a short tear to the first map where it connects to the gutter margin, and a small paper repair to the last map in the same place. Altogether, a superb, stunningly clean set in a remarkably well-preserved original publisher's binding. The set is partially unopened, with the engraved plates bright and clean. Even with the few minor flaws mentioned above, still a fine copy.

Charles Wilkes (1798-1877) "...was appointed to command an exploring and surveying expedition in the Southern Seas, authorized by Congress in 1836. The expedition, including naturalists, botanists, a mineralogist, taxidermists, a philologist, &c., was carried by the sloops-of-war Vincennes and Peacock, the brig Porpoise, the storeship Relief and two tenders...it stopped at Madeira and Rio de Janeiro; visited Tierra del Fuego, Chile, Peru, the Paumotu group of the Low Archipelago, the Samoan islands and New South Wales; from Sydney sailed into the Antarctic Ocean in December 1839 and reported the discovery of an Antarctic continent west of the Balleny islands; visited the Fiji and the Hawaiian islands in 1840, explored the west coast of the United States, including the Columbia river, San Francisco Bay and the Sacramento river, in 1841, and returned by way of the Philippine islands, the Sulu archipelago, Borneo, Singapore, Polynesia and the Cape of Good Hope, reaching New York on the 10th of June 1842" (Encyclopedia Britannica Eleventh Edition). Several prominent American writers were influenced by the narrative of Wilkes' expedition, including Herman Melville, who owned a copy of the book and included traces of the description and narrative in Moby Dick, and James Fenimore Cooper, who used portions of the narrative in his sea novels.

First editions. Three octavo volumes. 473, [96]; 531, [99]; 553, [101] pages.

Later half speckled calf over purple buckram boards. Titles stamped in gilt on leather labels on the spine. Spines refreshed. Light shelf wear to boards. The 1811 and 1814 volumes lack title pages.

In total, a very good set.

James Callander. Military Maxims, Illustrated by Examples. London: T. Cadell, 1782.

Twelvemo. viii, 159 pages.

Contemporary calf, raised spine bands, titles stamped in gilt on a morocco spine label. Modest wear to boards, slight toning to contents, else a very good copy.

This copy has some intriguing elements associated with it. For one, the title page is inscribed "Lieut. Fletcher Wilke/ 35th Regiment from / S. G. F. Campbell." Callander took his uncle's surname of Campbell at some point, so it is certainly conceivable that the inscription is from him, or perhaps a relative. This copy also has an interesting contemporary note on the last two pages.

"Dalrymple's Tacticks was the fruit of long service experience, of wide reading among the most modern French and German theoreticians and of four seasons recently spent in the English encampments. It was Dalrymple's concern to standardize the army's maneuvers and to do so upon sound technical rules of basic movement, aware as he was that of late the British Army, compared to foreign armies, had 'not made an equal progress in its Regulations and Tacticks.' The resulting treatise was unique among all the English works that had appeared to date" (Houlding, Fit for Service, p. 237).

The author, a Welsh-born soldier of fortune, spent most of the 1740s to the 1770s fighting in the service of France, Austria, and Russia. He attained the rank of major-general in the Austrian army. Of particular importance for American collectors is a chapter at the end of the second volume that is devoted to military strategy in the English colonies of North America. Given the colonies' immense size and thin population, Lloyd surmised that to conquer America "you must draw a line from Boston to Albany, and act on that line in a manner we have proposed: all operations on the lines, drawn from the coast into the country, from Boston to Charles-Town, will prove hereafter, as they have already done, unsuccessful."

[Samuel von Pufendorf]. Samuelis Pufendorfii. De Jure Naturae et Gentium Libre Octo. Lund: Imprimebat Vitus Haberegger Sumtibus A. Junghans, 1672.

First edition. Octavo. [20], 1227, [9] pages. Title page printed in black and red.

Contemporary full mottled calf, single ruled and with rosette decorations stamped in blind. Leather is dry and lightly rubbed with darkening to spine and board edges.

Important work by one of the great jurists of the seventeenth century. In this work Pufendorf, who came from Saxony and had left his war-torn land for Sweden, discusses the idea that the state is a union of individuals who give their individual consent, and that international law is truly international. The author believed peace, though difficult to maintain, was the natural state of mankind.

Major-General [Horatio Gordon] Robley. Moko; or Maori Tattooing. London: Chapman and Hall, 1896.

Robley, a professional soldier, served in New Zealand during the Land Wars. While there, he encountered the native Maori people and became interested in their vocabulary and culture. Their custom of facial tattooing fascinated him and he made detailed studies of the work along with accurate sketches of the designs. Included in the research ultimately published in this title, Robley also writes of Mokomokai, the mummified tattooed heads created by the natives through a process of drying and preserving. Robley acquired a large collection of these Mokomokai and Maori antiquities, some of which where ultimately purchased by the American Museum of Natural History. From the Estate of John McLaughlin.

Augustin de Zarate. Histoire de la Decouverte et de la Conquete du Perou. Traduite de L'Espagnol D'Augustin de Zarate, par S. D. C. Amsterdam: J. Louis de Lorme, 1700.

First edition in French. Two twelvemo volumes. 307; 408 pages. Folding map. In addition to the two frontispieces, there are thirteen engraved plates, two folding.

Contemporary full calf over boards. Later morocco backstrips added. Raised bands, gilt lettering and designs to spines. Marbled endpapers. Some chipping to spines. Joints weak. Corners slightly bumped. Very good condition.

Augustin de Zarate arrived in South America in 1544 with Blasco Nuñez Vela, the first Viceroy of Peru. As Comptroller of Accounts, he was made privy to various scandals and impropriety, the details of which he felt he should share with his countrymen. After returning home, "Zarate set about the compilation of his work. His first purpose was to confine it to the events that followed the arrival of Blasco Nuñez; but he soon found that to make these intelligible he must trace the stream of history higher up towards its sources. He accordingly enlarged his plan, and, beginning with the discovery of Peru, gave an entire view of the conquest and subsequent occupation of the country, bringing the narrative down to the close of Gasca's mission" (Prescott). Zarate's work came out in 1555. It proved very popular and was widely translated; however, it wasn't until 1700 that the history was finally made available to a French-speaking audience.

A humorous look at today's social and sexual values through the guise of rocks (occasionally referred to as the "pet rock turns 30-something.") An extraordinarily beautiful and clever presentation.

One-of-a-kind artist's proof copy, signed by the artist, Alan James Robinson on the colophon page. This unique copy was printed on an obsolete Whatman Paper, Blue White Laid, 1962. The Van Dijck Monotype was set and cast by Michael and Winifred Bixler. The design binding was crafted by Sarah Creighton. Quarto. Unpaginated. Illustrated with sixteen wood engravings by Alan James Robinson and unique to this copy, a watercolor of a Narwhal and an extra drawing of a unicorn signed by Alan James Robinson.

First published in 1646 as Chapter XXIII of Pseudodoxia Epidemica or, Enquiries into very many received Tenets, and commonly presumed Truths, by Sir Thomas Browne. Text for this Cheloniidae edition is that issued in 1650, "corrected and much enlarged by the author." Browne's original book was a debunking of various superstitious beliefs of the day, and in this chapter he tackles the supposed magical powers of so-called "unicorn horn" (surprisingly common in Browne's day, often merely a narwhal tusk passed off as a unicorn horn to wealthy and naïve consumers).

Publisher's mock-ups in various stages containing: the original mock-up book with original pencil drawings, a complete set of sixteen watercolors signed by Alan James Robinson done for the first time as watercolors, the original working copies for the text with three dummies for the dust jacket of the trade edition by Chronicle Books, a blank full leather book with the first multi-color onlay done on both sides of the cover by Daniel E.

This may be the richest treasure trove of all the mock-ups. The watercolors appear here for the first time. The two trial onlays are a unique and important look at the binder's craft. And the wealth of pencil studies tells much about the development of one of the finest works of the press.

[Guild of Women-Binders]. The Bindings of To-morrow: A Record of the Work of the Guild of Women-Binders and of the Hampstead Bindery. London: Guild of Women-Binders, 1902.

Publisher's green cloth with gilt stamped titles on spine and blind ruled boards. All edges untrimmed. Cloth is rubbed with darkened edges and backstrip.

Illustrated with beautiful chromolithographs by Griggs and Company, this volume was published to promote the work of The Guild of Women-Binders (also see Lot 36137) by its founder, Frank Karslake, who also founded The Hampstead Bindery. The Guild was formed in 1898 with the goal of increasing opportunities for women in a field outside the standard professions of teaching, dressmaking, and type-writing. Some of its members - notably Edith and Florence de Rheims, Constance Karslake, Muriel Driffield - were highly talented and imaginative binders, as the illustrations in this volume suggest. The Guild established its own workshop and conducted training courses allowing members to learn from some of the established male binders of the day, and to experiment with new techniques. In spite of Karslake's efforts, sales were never very strong and the Guild only continued until 1904, though several of the members continued to practice beyond that time.

Beethoven's Symphony No. 5 in C minor is possibly the most recognized work of classical music ever written. Its dramatic four-note opening is known world-wide and remains rooted in popular culture. The symphony was written over a four year period commencing in 1804 and first performed in Vienna in 1808. Though the first printed edition appeared in 1809, it is believed that this edition is the first printing of the complete score, comprising all four movements. This is a remarkably well-preserved copy of this important and historic work.

Chagall, one of the premier Jewish artists of the modern age, said of this monumental work: "I did not see the Bible, I dreamed it. Ever since early childhood, I have been captivated by the Bible. It has always seemed to me and still seems today the greatest source of poetry of all time." A sumptuous collection of powerful and personal lyrical art.

And I hope that thus I am holding out a hand to friends of culture, to poets and artists of neighboring countries and of all countries."

He was fascinated by Harlem and became friends with many of the artists and writers who were part of the Harlem Renaissance. He sketched the men and women of the neighborhood -- "flappers, musicians, dancers, street preachers, socialites, blues singers, mothers and children, waiters, and others" -- portraits that created "a careful, profound consideration of various facets of Harlem's cultural life, as seen through a modernist's eyes" (Wintz). "No artist captured the Harlem Renaissance so well as Miguel Covarrubias or with such devastating wit and sympathy" (Kellner). From the Estate of John McLaughlin.

Aleksander Evgenevich Fersman (editor). Russia's Treasure of Diamonds and Precious Stones. Moscow: The People's Commissariat of Finances, 1925.

First and only edition in English. Folio. Complete set of 100 unbound phototype plates with captioned tissue guards (all still attached). Plates measure 307 x 395 mm. Includes the descriptive text volumes dated 1926 for parts II, III and IV (missing text volume in part I).

Parts I-IV, with each part in an individual cream paper portfolio, housed together in the original issue crimson and brown thick portfolio with string ties intact. Small stamp reading "Printed in the Soviet Union" on an inner flap of the portfolio. Rubbing and soiling to the portfolio, with a previous reference sticker from the Arthur A. Everts Co., a renowned Dallas jeweler, affixed to the front cover. Parts portfolios with minor edge wear and toning, minimal corner wear and thumb-soiling, with two small closed tears along the spine of Part III. Light thumb-soiling to text volumes. A handful of tissue guards with minor fold creasing and small tears. Minimal edge wear to a couple of plates, otherwise, they are in superb condition. An extraordinarily rare work in near fine condition.

The monumental task of listing and photographing the Russian crown jewels began in 1922, and this epic work was the result. Compiled with the help of S. N. Troinitsky, the director of the Hermitage Museum, and a committee of expert jewelers, Russia's Treasure of Diamonds and Precious Stones was published in 1925 in English, French and Russian, and stands as the only complete record of the treasures of the Romanov Dynasty before their mysterious dispersal through private sale and a subsequent auction two years later. Shortly after publication, this very work was swiftly recalled by the Soviet government, who destroyed the copies they received or bought back. As such, it is an exceedingly rare work in any of the three languages, and much desired by gemologists, jewelers, and historians.

"One of the very few surviving catalogs promoting the sale of Russia's crown jewels. Published in 1925 by A. E. Fersman for the Bolshevik government, it is among the most thorough inventories of Czarist treasures in existence. Russia's crown jewels were later removed from the market and only a few were sold" (Gemological Institute of America website, describing the copy in the John & Marjorie Sinkankas Collection).

"The collection of Romanoff Crown Jewels dates back to the Sixteenth Century, when the early Czars, proud of their power, were fascinated by the splendor of parading about in jeweled robes wearing diamond-studded crowns. However, it was not until the reign of Catherine the Great that the Russian collection of jewels reached its greatest proportion. Catherine sent her agents abroad to purchase the largest and finest diamonds and emeralds in the world.... Soon after the beginning of the War in 1914 the Imperial Cabinet decided it was safer to remove the Crown Jewels to Moscow, which is much farther inland than St. Petersburg. Nine huge strong boxes, crammed full of these priceless gems, were stored in a special vault in the 'Armory Hall of the Kremlin.' During the Bolshevik Revolution and subsequently until 1922 this treasure remained untouched, continuously guarded by a detachment of Red soldiers. In April, 1922, a commission was appointed to take inventory by the Soviet Government. This commission consisted of such prominent persons as A. Orechnikov, curator of the Moscow Museum, A. E. Fersman, professor of the Academy of Science, and A. Fabergé [son of the former court jeweler, Carl Fabergé]...Some idea of the size of the Romanoff Collection may be obtained from the following figures given out by the commission; diamonds, 25,300 carats; pearls, 6,000; emeralds, 3,200; sapphires, 2,600, and rubies, 1,500 carats" (Armand Hammer: The Quest of the Romanoff Treasure, pp. 222-224).

Mark Catesby. Piscium Serpentum Insectorum Aliorumque Nonnullarum Animalium nec non plantarum quarundam imagines quas Marcus Catesby, In Posteriore Parte Splendidi Illus Operis Quo Carolinae Floridae et Bahamensium Insularum Tradidit Historium Naturalem Eiusque Appendice Descripsit Vivas Coloribus Pictas Edere Coeperunt Nicolaus Fridericus Eisenberger et Georgias Lichtensteger et Ad Finem Perduxerunt Beati Georgii Wolfgang Knorrii Heredes. Norimbergae Typis Paulli Jonathae Felsekeri A. MDCCLXXVII. Die Abbildungen verschiedener Fische, Schlangen, Insecten, einiger andern Thiere, und Pflanzen, welche Herr Marcus Catesby im zweyten Theil, und im Anhang seines vortrefflichen Werks, der natürlichen Historie von Carolina, Florida und den Bahamischen Inseln, beschrieben. Nuremberg: Felsecker, 1777.

Early German edition (originally published in Nuremberg in 1750). Folio (plates and sheets measure 19.625 x 13 inches [with the exception of the Magnolia plate LXI which measures 19 x 12.5 inches]). [iv], 100, 9 [Supplement], [2, Register (in German)], [6, Index Latinus] pages. With 109 full-page brightly hand-colored plates depicting fish, reptiles, insects, plants, and animals of the Carolinas, Florida, and the Bahama Islands. The plates are accompanied by parallel texts in Latin and German (the last nine text pages and nine hand-colored plates make up the Supplement).

Eighteenth-century full mottled calf with morocco spine label. Color patterned endpapers appear to be hand painted, or at least finished by hand, edges stained or colored by hand. Expertly rebacked, probably in the nineteenth century, with the original spine laid down (morocco lettering label appears more modern). Binding rubbed and bumped, with light wear along the joints, especially at the foot of the spine. Several plates with minor edge tears (many with old repairs) and dampstains at the edges of the plates, or at the corner (none of which affects the image area of the plates). Two repairs are more major, being Plate LIII with a repaired eight-inch tear from the bottom edge up into the plate (a portion of the repair is with tan paper that shows on the front of the plate just up until the caption under the image). The adjacent text, page 53 (leaf D2) has a repaired thirteen-inch tear that touches some text (picture available on the item page for this lot at HA.com). The Magnolia plate LXI (supplied from a different edition, with plate numbers and caption that do not match) has been repaired, and measures 19 x 12.5 inches. Three straight strips of mending tape on the back, one that runs the entire width of the plate, the other two run the entire length, presumably repairing earlier splits. Small ink stamp and small ink signature to title. Occasional light foxing and soiling. Despite these flaws, still an excellent copy with wonderful hand-colored plates, in very good condition.

Mark Catesby (1682-1749) published the first color plate book featuring North America, which was praised by Jefferson, Laurens, and others, (Carolus Linnaeus included much of Catesby's information in preparing the tenth edition of his Systema Naturae published in 1758). It was originally published as Natural History of Carolina, Florida and the Bahama Islands between 1731 and 1743, with 220 plates of birds, reptiles and amphibians, fish, insects, and mammals. Catesby was the first to include folio-sized hand-colored plates in Natural History books, about a century earlier than Audubon's Birds of America.

"Catesby, after having lived in Virginia, from 1712 to 1719, principally engaged in the study of its natural history, returned to England, when he was introduced to Dr. Shepard and others, then undertook another voyage to America, for the express purpose of collecting and describing its natural productions. The fruit of his voyage was [the] Natural History of Carolina. It does great honor to him and his native country, and is perhaps the most curious and elegant performance of its kind that has appeared anywhere in Europe" (Peter Collinson, quoted in Sabin 11508-9).

"The most famous color-plate book of American plant and animal life, and a fundamental and original work for the study of American species" (Hunt).

"Instead of perpetuating the previous stiff, profile manner of presentation, Catesby devised the method of mingling plants and animals in logical groupings, most often with accuracy and with proportional scale between figure and plant. He did his utmost to convey something of the particular habits or movements of each species. Simple though they are, he infused his compositions with a sense of movement and vitality not usual prior to his work" (Norelli).

[Carl Linnaeus]. Orbis Eruditi Judicium de Caroli Linnaei M. D. Scriptis. [N. p., Upsal, Sweden: n.d., 1741].

First edition. Small octavo. 16 pages.

Full green pebbled cloth decoratively ruled and tooled in black with gilt spine titles. Marbled endpapers. All edges gilt. Housed in a green cloth slipcase. Minor wear to boards, with the spine ends particularly rubbed and with some minor chipping at spine head. Text with light even toning, occasional spotting, and one small stain to the bottom margin of leaf 3. A small volume of great importance in very good condition.

A "laudatory pamphlet by Linnaeus," published anonymously. The title translates to The Judgment of the Learned World Concerning the Writings of Carl Linnaeus (William T. Stearn. Botanical Latin, p. 437).

"This is the only peculiar apology which Linnaeus ever wrote in his own behalf, and also the only production which he published in an anonymous manner. However numerous and common the greatest part of his other works are, yet as extremely scarce is this performance even in Sweden. It seems neither to have been known to Haller nor to other naturalists, at least they never mentioned it, and there are scarce two copies to be met with in all Germany." (Dietrich Heinrich Stoever. The Life of Sir Charles Linnaeus: Knight of the Swedish Order of the Polar Star, p. 130).

"'Orbis erudite Judicium de Caroli Linnaei'...appears to be a defence of this illustrious man exorted from him by some of his envious and prejudiced contemporaries. But what redounds as much to the honour as it must have done to the peace of the cautious and amiable Linnaeus, is, that after having composed this paper, which consists entirely of the testimony which was borne to his character by the principal naturalists of his time, - such as Boerhaave, Burmann, Sloane, Dillenius, Jussieu, Haller, Gesner, Gleditsch, Breynius, &c. &c. - he afterwards entirely suppressed it; and thereby deprived his opponents of those fresh subjects of disputation, which are sure to arise on such occasions, and which only furnish ground for sincere pity for the contending parties" (John Nichols. Illustrations of the Literary History of the Eighteenth Century. Volume VI, p. 849).

Professor [Benjamin] Silliman [Jr.]. A Description of the Recently Discovered Petroleum Region in California. With a Report on the Same by Professor Silliman. New York: Francis & Loutrel, February, 1865.

First edition of Silliman's second report on California oil (the first report did not include the large map included here). Octavo, sewn wrappers. 24 pages. With fold-out chart and folding map of "the Ojai Ranch in Santa Barbara County, California, belonging to the California Petroleum Company, 1865" with an inset map of the Ojai Basin, the whole measuring 16.5 x 23 inches.

Original printed buff wrappers. Printing error to front wrapper resulting in slightly askew double-printed title. Short tear to map's anchor strip, not affecting map itself. Shallow vertical bend down the center of the pamphlet. A fine copy.

Silliman was a Yale chemist and petroleum visionary who concluded that petroleum was the fuel of the future. His initial studies led directly to the discovery of oil in Pennsylvania. This report on oil in the Santa Barbara area ultimately led to charges of fraud and conspiracy when it was discovered that well-compensated oil company consultant Silliman had tested samples of California crude that somehow contained Pennsylvania kerosene. Nevertheless, the work of an oil pioneer with a large-scale early map of "what has become one of the most prosperous regions of California" (Streeter). Scarce.

Alexander Wilson. American Ornithology; or, the Natural History of the Birds of the United States. Plates. Engraved and Coloured from Original Drawings taken from Nature. New York and Philadelphia: Collins & Co. and Harrison Hall, 1829.

Second reissue. One folio volume (approximately 14.75 x 11.25 inches). Atlas volume only, no text volumes. Title page and seventy-six tissue-guarded hand-colored engraved plates after Wilson, with gum arabic highlights.

Beautifully bound in twentieth-century crushed morocco, with gilt lettering, rules, borders, devices, and turn-ins. Red and green gilt-stamped morocco labels in compartments on spine between five raised bands. Marbled endpapers. Occasional minor foxing; a few plates with pencil notations, generally just above the plate mark; Plates 29-79 with varying degrees of worming, most holes quite tiny and all in the top margin of each sheet, outside the image area. Plates are otherwise clean and bright, with extremely vivid color. A beautiful collection of prints in fine condition, in a handsome leather binding.

Scots-born Alexander Wilson (1766-1813) left Scotland for the United States in 1794 and earned money as a weaver, a peddler, and as a schoolteacher. In 1802 he met naturalist William Bartram who encouraged him to study and paint the birds he encountered on his long walks. Wilson's American Ornithology was originally published in nine volumes between 1808 and 1814, and its publication was greeted with excitement and international acclaim. Wilson's great and important work pre-dates Audubon, earning Wilson the title of "The Father of American Ornithology." This atlas volume contains a later printing of the plates, with the best coloring of any edition issued at that point.

[Sir] Francis Bacon. The Twoo Bookes of Francis Bacon. Of the proficience and advancement of Learning, divine and humane. London: Printed [by Thomas Purfoot and Thomas Creede] for Henrie Tomes, and are to be sould at his shop at Graies Inne Gate in Holborne, 1605.

First edition. Small quarto (170 x 125 mm.). Without the two added leaves of errata found in a few copies.

Eighteenth-century calf, recently rebacked to style, with spine ruled in gilt with five raised bands, with red and black morocco labels ruled and lettered in gilt, and with date in gilt at the foot. Covers with gilt triple fillet border, all edges gilt, marbled endpapers. Modest wear to the edges of the boards, some crazing to leather. Small professional repair to the imprint on the title-page. A few small, trivial worm holes. Armorial bookplate on the front pastedown. Old ink annotations throughout, more interesting than detrimental. In general, a quite nice copy.

"Bacon's major contribution to the development of science lies in his natural philosophy, his philosophy of scientific method, and in his projects for the practical organization of science. During the last years of his life, he expounded these ideas in a series of works, of which the Twoo bookes was the first. The only work Bacon ever published in English, it was later expanded and latinized into De augmentis scientiarum (1623). In the Twoo bookes, Bacon concerned himself primarily with the classification of philosophy and the sciences and with developing his influential view of the relation between science and theology. While preserving the traditional distinction between knowledge obtained by divine revelation and knowledge acquired through the senses, Bacon saw both theoretical and applied science as religious duties, the first for a greater knowledge of God through his creation, and the second for the practice of charity to one's fellows by improving their condition. This view of science as a religious function maintained its authority throughout the seventeenth and early eighteenth centuries, and was an important factor in the public success of the scientific movement" (Norman Library).

[And:] "Über die von der molekularkinetischen Theorie der Wärme geforderte Bewegung von in ruhenden Flüssigkeiten suspendierten Teilchen." [And:] "Zur Elektrodynamik bewegter Körper." In Annalen der Physik, Vierte Folge, Band 17 (1905), pages 132-148, 549-560, and 891-921. Leipzig: Verlag von Johann Ambrosius Barth, 1905.

First printing of three of four of Einstein's Annus Mirabilis papers. Whole volume offered. Octavo (8.5 x 5.5 inches). viii, 1020 pages.

Contemporary half purple cloth over marbled boards. Neatly rebacked, with most of the original spine laid down. Spine ruled and lettered in gilt. Spine and boards show some fading, edges of boards worn. Unobtrusive library mark on the spine. Internally fine. Extremely scarce.

In the first paper, "On a Heuristic Viewpoint Concerning the Production and Transformation of Light" (pages 132-148), "Einstein suggested that light be considered a collection of independent particles of energy, which he called 'light quanta.' Such a hypothesis, he argued, would provide an answer to the problem of black-body radiation where classical theories had failed, and would also explain several puzzling properties of fluorescence, photoionization and the photoelectric effect" (Norman Library). It was for this paper, together with one on the photoelectric effect ("Zur Theorie der Lichterzeugung und Lichtabsorption"), published in 1906, that Einstein was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1921. Norman Library 689. Weil 6.

The second paper, "On the Motion of Small Particles Suspended in a Stationary Liquid, as Required by the Molecular Kinetic Theory of Heat" (pages 549-560), proved, that "according to the molecular theory of heat, bodies of dimensions of the order of 1/1000 mm. suspended in liquid experience apparent random movement due to the thermal motion of molecules. Such movement of suspended bodies has actually been observed by biologists who call it Brownian molecular movement" (Einstein quoted Ronald W. Clark, Einstein: The Life and Times, page 87). Norman Library 690. Weil 8.

The third paper, "On the Electrodynamics of Moving Bodies" (page 891-921), was Einstein's first statement of the special theory of relativity. In it he argued that all motion is relative to the inertial system in which it is measured, and that matter and energy are equivalent. As he himself remarked, "it modifies the theory of space and time" (quoted in Ronald W. Clark, Einstein: The Life and Times, page 87). Dibner, Heralds of Science, 167. Grolier/Horblit 26b. Norman Library 691A. Weil 9.

Einstein's extraordinary scientific papers contributed substantially to the foundation of modern physics and changed views on space, time, and matter. This work is generally considered to be the most remarkable volume of any published scientific journal.

This paper, "Does the Inertia of a Body Depend upon Its Energy Content?" lmost seems a footnote to Einstein's previous papers published earlier in the year, but it formed the basis of what would become Einstein's famous E=mc2 theory. It was not published in English until 1920. Arguably one of the most important scientific papers ever published. Rare.

Albert Einstein. "Die Grundlage der allgemeinen Relativitätstheorie." In Annalen der Physik, Vierte Folge, Band 49, No. 7 (1916), pages 769-822. Leipzig: Verlag von Johann Ambrosius Barth, 1916.

First printing of Einstein's "The Foundation of the General Theory of Relativity." Octavo (8.5 x 5.5 inches). viii, 1000 pages (complete volume). Mounted photographic portrait of Emil Warburg facing page 229; ten tables within text.

Contemporary half calf over marbled boards. Spine ruled and lettered in gilt and decoratively ruled in blind. Light shelfwear to boards. Ink stamp of Imperial Chemical Industries Limited on the front pastedown and front free endpaper, with pencil cancellation marks. Overall, in fine condition.

A separate edition of the work appeared in the same year, but the text for that edition was reset with significant additions and revisions and printed after this journal issue, thus this journal constitutes the actual first printing. Einstein's theory explains gravitation as distortion of the structure of space-time by matter, affecting the inertial motion of other matter. The paper is divided into four sections: "Considering the Fundamental Postulate of Relativity", "Mathematical Tools for the Establishment of General Covariant Equations", "Theory of the Gravitational Field", and "The 'Substantive' Precedent". A groundbreaking paper, rare in this original form.

[Sir Isaac Newton]. John Collins. Commercium epistolicum D. Johannis Collins, et aliorum de Analysi Promota: Jussu Societatis Regiae in lucem editum. London: Typis Pearsonianis, 1712.

First edition of the official report of the Royal Society on the dispute between Leibniz and Newton over priority in the discovery of calculus, ruling in Newton's favor. First state of page 34 with incorrect catchword "nitu", and page 35 line ending with "infi-". Small quarto (8.5 x 6.25 inches). [4], 122, excised leaf, possibly printer's waste, errata leaf, pages. Numerous woodcut diagrams in the text.

Early twentieth-century calf. Covers decoratively paneled in blind, smooth spine ruled in blind and lettered in gilt, edges dyed. An extraordinary copy with only minor toning to the pages. Fine. Very rare.

An extremely rare and important first edition of the work that established Newton's priority over Leibniz in the invention of calculus. Newton is generally acknowledged as having compiled and edited the work, which also contains De Analysis per Aequationes Numero Terminorum Infinitas, Newton's earliest work on the calculus (1669) first printed in 1711. "Only a few copies were printed for presentation and the work became so rare shortly after publication that Raphson complained in 1715 that it 'was not be met with among booksellers'" (Babson).

"The celebrated report drawn up by order of the Royal Society and consisting of a selection from the correspondence of John Collins, with some of the most celebrated mathematicians of the time." The substantive parts of the report were drafted largely by Newton himself. The work was printed for presentation only.

[Sir] Isaac Newton. "A Letter of Mr. Isaac Newton, Professor of the Mathematicks in the University of Cambridge; containing his New Theory about Light and Colors: sent by the Author to the Publisher from Cambridge, Febr. 6. 1671/72; in order to be communicated to the R. Society." [London: John Martyn, 1672].

First printing of Newton's first scientific publication. Extracted from Philosophical Transactions, Volume 6, Number 80, February 19, 1671/72. Caption title. Small quarto (8.5 x 6.25 inches). Pages 3075-3095, [3, index].

Early twentieth-century calf. Covers decoratively paneled in blind, spine decoratively tooled in gilt in compartments with five raised bands and red morocco label tooled and lettered in gilt, marbled endpapers. Bookplate of the John Crerar Library, Chicago, on the front pastedown. Extensive underlining in an early hand, slight toning to contents, otherwise a superb copy.

"This was Newton's first scientific publication and one of his most important, leading to his brilliant work in optics. In this he recounted how he placed a glass prism in the path of a ray of light entering his darkened chamber thru a window-slit. Instead of a circular pattern of light upon the opposite wall Newton saw an oblong spectrum. A second, inverted prism restored the refracted light into a white ray. He concluded that sunlight (or white light) was composed of a mixture of light of many colors, each having its own degree of refrangibility and that none could be converted into another. This paper led to extended controversies with Hooke, Huygens, Linuc, Lucas, Pardies, and others" (Dibner).

"Newton had encountered the problem of colors during his years of discovery as an undergraduate, and very early he had entertained the idea that colors do not arise from the modification of homogeneous light, as the prevailing theory held, but from the separation of a heterogeneous mixture of rays each of which causes a different sensation of color. Near the beginning of 1666, he first performed his basic experiment of projecting a spectrum with a prism...On 6 February 1672, Newton mailed to Henry Oldenburg, the Secretary of the Royal Society, a summary statement of the theory he had expounded with far more detail and experimental support in his [Lucasian] lectures. Published at once in the Philosophical Transactions, it established Newton's reputation across Europe" (Lilly/Westfall).

[Sir] Isaac Newton. Philosophiae Naturalis Principia Mathematica. Editio Secunda Auctior et Emendatior. Cambridge: [Printed by Cornelius Crownfield], 1713.

Second (first Cambridge) edition of the Principia, published twenty-six years after the first edition of 1687. One of 750 copies printed. Edited with a preface by Robert Cotes. Quarto (9.5 x 7.25 inches). [28], 484, [8] pages. Engraved device of Cambridge University on the title-page, folding engraved plate depicting a cometary orbit facing page 465, numerous woodcut diagrams and illustrations in the text.

Contemporary calf, neatly rebacked. Spine ruled in blind and lettered in gilt with five raised bands. Covers decoratively paneled in blind. Wear to corners and board edges. Preliminary and terminal pages toned but contents bright and in fine condition. Heavily annotated (in Latin) in an early hand from page 482 to the end. A superb copy.

"The Principia is generally described as the greatest work in the history of science. Copernicus, Galileo and Kepler had certainly shown the way; but where they described the phenomena they observed, Newton explained the underlying universal laws. The Principia provided the great synthesis of the cosmos, proving finally its physical unity. Newton showed that the important and dramatic aspects of nature that were subject to the universal law of gravitation could be explained, in mathematical terms, within a single physical theory. With him the separation of natural and supernatural, of sublunar and superlunar worlds disappeared. The same laws of gravitation and motion rule everywhere; for the first time a single mathematical law could explain the motion of objects on earth as well as the phenomena of the heavens. The whole cosmos is composed of inter-connecting parts influencing each other according to these laws. It was this grand conception that produced a general revolution in human thought, equalled perhaps only by that following Darwin's Origin of Species" (Printing and the Mind of Man).

"Richard Bentley, Master of Trinity College, was instrumental in bringing out this second edition, which was edited by Roger Cotes...In his important preface, Cotes attacks the Cartesian philosophy, then still in vogue in the universities, and refutes an assertion that Newton's theory of attraction is a causa occulta. It contains a second preface by Newton and considerable additions, the chapters on the lunar theory and the theory of comets being much enlarged" (Babson).

Bowdich's diplomatic skill allowed him to form a treaty with the king of Ashantee. This agreement helped bring British control to the Gold Coast and peace to the British settlements there. Bowdich "was the first whose labours accomplished the object of penetrating to the interior of Africa. In 1818 he returned home with impaired health, and in 1819 published the interesting and valuable details of his expedition, A Mission from Cape Coast Castle to Ashantee. This work excited great interest, as an almost incredible story (recalling The Arabian Nights) of a land and people of warlike and barbaric splendour hitherto unknown."

While Burton was still abroad, his wife worked with the publisher to bring this book to press. Though she took exception with many of her husband's opinions, Isabel Burton refrained from making amendments to the manuscript. Instead, she added her own preface. Chiefly unsettling to her was her husband's permissive stance on "that unnatural and repulsive law, Polygamy, which the Author is careful not to practice himself, but from a high moral pedestal he preaches to the ignorant as a means of population in young countries."

Burton's fourth published book. Though today Falconry in the Valley of the Indus is one of Richard Burton's scarcer and more desirable titles, in its day it was his most sluggish to sell. "It was never sold as a remainder, and till at least 1910 was still procurable from the successors of Van Voorst" (Penzer). Harting, in Books on Falconry, sums the book up thusly: "For a writer having no practical knowledge of the subject, but merely describing what he saw and heard, this little book is well-written, and has a charming frontispiece by J. Wolf representing a Goshawk seizing a gazelle, with other illustrations."

Considered by most to be one of Burton's finest titles. In recent critical and popular works, the explorer Richard Burton has primarily been described either as an advocate (whether consciously or unconsciously) of British imperialism or, conversely, as a sensitive observer of African culture worthy of contemporary canonization. The actual truth about this remarkably complex Victorian lies somewhere apart from both these extremes. In Burton's popular narratives of his explorations in Africa, among them First Footsteps in East Africa, The Lake Regions of Central Africa, and Wanderings in West Africa, Burton often reflects the attitudes and beliefs of his reading audience. But in comparison with the African travel narratives of many of his contemporaries, particularly his traveling companion and one-time friend John Hanning Speke, Burton also reveals a sympathy for the cultures he encounters and a willingness to record the details of their existence even when they have little or no bearing on the goals of his expeditions. In this title Burton and Speke joined up again for their second expedition, this time to find the source of the Nile and explore the Mountains of Madness and the Lake region of Central Africa. They made it to Lake Tanganyka, but illness forced them to retreat to Kazeh to recuperate. Burton later sent Speke to investigate reports of a large lake which Speke found and proclaimed to be the source of the Nile. This led to a pitched battle which Burton eventually won. "With the search for the sources of the Nile, Burton entered upon the most dangerous, demanding and tragic period of his life. Even the wild ride to Harar and back seemed more like an escapade fecklessly entered upon compared to the safari into the African interior. But more than geography, miasmic jungles, disease and natives of a type he had never before encountered complicated the trip for Burton and turned sour the aftermath. What happened in Africa was to mark him for the remainder of his life. Not only his physical health but his sanity was imperiled. The cause of his troubles was not, as so many people suggested, Isabel Arundel, but John Hanning Speke and Speke's friends and allies" (Rice, p. 273).

Richard F. Burton. The Lake Regions of Central Africa: A Picture of Exploration. London: Longman, Green, Longman, and Roberts, 1860.

First edition, second issue (remainder binding). Two octavo volumes. 412; 468 pages. Twelve chromoxylographic plates, with tissue guards, twenty-two woodcuts, hand-colored folding map at rear of Volume II, and twenty-four-page catalog dated October 1858.

Publisher's full brick-red cloth. Boards with triple blind ruling. Backstrips with gilt double ruled heads and tails, and gilt titles. Modestly rubbed with a hint of darkening to backstrips and mild soiling to boards. Top edge faintly darkened. Bookplate in each volume. Minor toning to pages with some offsetting to pages opposite tissue guards. Faint dampstain to top edge of Volume I measuring two-inches by one-half-inch and bleeding into pages one-half-inch along fore-edge. This minor blemish to pages 155 to 275. Volume I has cracked spine with two sprung gatherings. A superlative, near fine set, seldom found in this condition and by far the best we have ever offered.

The account of Sir Richard Burton's 1856-59 expedition with John Hanning Speke to central east Africa in search of the source of the Nile. Embarking from Zanzibar, the expedition endured incredible hardships and difficulties for more than seven months before finally arriving at Lake Tanganyika -- the largest of the Central African lakes -- on February 14, 1858. After three months exploring the shores of the lake, Burton embarked upon the return journey, and Speke was dispatched to verify reports of another lake to the north. Speke visited this lake, the Victoria Nyanza, briefly and obtained some vague information from the locals. Based on this, he decided he had discovered the true source of the Nile -- a decision that would lead to a celebrated and bitter feud with Burton.

For Burton, this expedition into Central Africa was perhaps the most taxing of his career. By the time he returned to London, he found that Speke had already published his conclusions and assigned all the glory of the expedition to himself. The controversy surrounding the expedition left Burton "disgusted, desponding, and left behind in the spirit and in the flesh," according to his old friend Alfred Bate Richards. In the preface Burton discounts Speke as being little more than a subordinate on the expedition, never having held the position of surveyor as he claimed upon his return to England.

Burton, in his preface, points out that his The Gold Mines of Midian, published the previous year, was intended to familiarize the reader with the region: "it was an introduction intended to serve as a base for the more extensive work." Both works concern the 1878 mineralogical expedition to the region of the north-eastern shores of the Red Sea.

Explorer Burton and surveyor Cameron, both fascinated by gold, were sent by their employer, the Guinea Gold Coast Mining Co., to survey and report on the company's mining operations. If gold were found, Burton was to receive a percentage of the profits. There was gold, but because of a dispute with the Foreign Office, Burton left Africa and was ordered to forfeit all moneys related to the mining operation.

Stamp-signed by Root & Son on the verso of the front free endpapers. Marbled endpapers. Repair to a three-inch tear to the half-title page. Moderate foxing. Very good.

In his preface, Burton writes: "It seems to me that the readiest, indeed the only, way of understanding the negro is to let him speak of himself in his own words, and that if ever a book aspires to the title 'L'African peint par lui-meme,' it must be the one that contains a most compendious collection of purely Hamitic proverbs and idioms."

Two parts in one folio volume (12.3125 x 7.9375 inches; 313 x 201 mm.).

With fifty-six half-page copperplate engravings in the text. This copy is lacking the added engraved title, the thirteen folding or double-page engraved maps, and the thirty folding engraved plates. Title-page to Part I printed in red and black. Text in double columns. Decorative woodcut initials and tail-pieces.

Seventeenth-century blindstamped pigskin over beveled wooden boards (dated "Anno 1693" on the front cover). With the original metal clasps and pins (pigskin strap renewed on the top clasp). Covers additionally stamped in black with corner ornaments and central arms of "Franciscus Honorius Comes de Trautmansdorf" (Count Franz von Trauttmansdorff).

Ink stain to the fore-edge from Iii1 to the end of Part II. A few scattered rust spots, occasionally touching a letter or two. A few leaves loose where the plates have been removed. Generally, a clean and crisp copy. With the armorial bookplate of Count Franz von Trauttmansdorff on the front pastedown and bookplate of African scholar John Ralph Willis on the front free endpaper.

Dapper (1639-1689) was a Dutch physician and scholar devoted to historical and geographical studies. He produced several finely illustrated volumes describing travels in Africa, Asia, Asia Minor, the Middle East, drawing upon the most reliable eye-witness accounts as well as his own library of travel books. His works were authoritative and very popular, and especially noteworthy for their excellent illustrations and maps.

Dapper's Description of Africa "covers the entire continent - the Islamic north, from Morocco to Egypt, Abyssinia, central and southern Africa, and Madagascar, Malta, the Canaries and other islands of the African coast" (Alastair Hamilton, Europe and the Arab World, page 26). Although he had never visited Africa, Dapper's book is still of considerable value, because he made use not only of published sources (especially De Marees), but also of manuscripts which have now been lost. His work became well-known, and is still a key text for Africanists. It was translated into English by John Ogilby and published in 1670. From the Professor John Ralph Willis Collection of Rare Africana.

Second edition. Small folio. [14], 950, [22], 90, [6] pages. Engraved title page. Lacking the letterpress title page. Illustrated with hundreds of woodcuts of flora and fauna of the New World. Text in Latin.

Full calf. Rebacked. Leather title label to the spine. Marbled endpapers. Front hinge broken. Scuffing to the boards. Previous owner's bookplate to front pastedown. Some dampstaining throughout. Overall, a tight and internally sound copy in very good condition.

In 1571 Hernandez accompanied a scientific expedition to the New World to study the region's medicinal plants and to collect specimens. After seven years he returned with copious notes. His manuscripts were eventually pared down considerably by Leonardo Recchi and published. Rerum Medicarum Novæ Hispaniæ Thesaurus first appeared in 1628. Sabin suggests that this second edition of 1651, because of similar collation, may actually be a remainder of the original edition with simply the addition of a new title page. However, Frasco-Spada and Jardine, in Books and the Sciences in History, maintain that the 1628 version was quite different, and that very few copies were bound. Eventually the loose printed sheets of the 1628 copies were augmented with new material and significantly restructured. An important addition to the understanding of natural history and medicine during the Renaissance.

This copy is inscribed in Charles Lindbergh's hand to Dr. Albert H. Ebeling, a long-time colleague of vascular researcher and eugenicist Alexis Carrel, recipient of the 1912 Nobel Prize in Medicine. Lindbergh and Carrel later collaborated on the development of a perfusion pump which allowed human organs to survive ex vivo, an important advance in the development of organ transplants. Charles Lindbergh's association with the controversial Carrel -- who promoted the notion of genetic superiority of certain human strains -- led in part to the persistent accusations of anti-Semitism leveled against Lindbergh.

Duarte Lopez was a "Portuguese trader to Congo and Angola who wrote one of the earliest descriptions of Central Africa. Lopez first left Portugal for the Congo in April 1578, sailing on his uncle's trading vessel. After a stay of several years, and having accumulated some wealth through his enterprises, he was appointed as ambassador of Alvaro II, king of the Congo, to the pope and Philip II of Spain, at that time unified with Portugal...As ambassador to Philip, Lopez was to offer specimens of local minerals and to open the region for free trade with Portugal and Spain, while also informing the pope of the need for missionaries. However, during his return to Portugal, Lopez was shipwrecked on the coast of Venezuela and forced to spend a year there. Although his submissions to the pope and Philip were largely ignored, Lopez was able to relate everything he knew about the Congo to Filippo Pigafetta, who had been charged with the task of collecting information about the region. The result was published by Pigafetta in 1591, although much of what it contained bordered on the fabulous. Lopez returned to the Congo in 1589, after which nothing more is heard of him. Pigafetta's work was translated into English by Abraham Hartwell at the request of Richard Hakluyt, into Latin by Augustin Cassiadore Reinius, and placed at the head of De Bry's Petits Voyages. It has been suggested that the narrative was used by Daniel Defoe for his Captain Singleton" (Howgego, Encyclopedia of Exploration I, L146).

[Nicolas Sanson]. Atlas of Thirty-Four Hand-Colored Maps Printed Between 1641 and 1663. All bound in one folio atlas. Thirty-three maps measure 21.5 x 16.5 inches, and one, 12.5 x 13 inches.

Nicolas Sanson was one of the most important French cartographers of the seventeenth century and was the geography tutor to Louis XIII and Louis XIV. He and his three sons created a series of highly-regarded maps and atlases, and he enjoyed successful associations with Paris publishers such as Melchior Tavernier and Pierre Mariette. Among the thirty-four maps bound in this volume, several seem to have been originally bound in Sanson's masterwork, Cartes générales de toutes les parties du monde. Twenty-four of the maps are explicitly attributed to Nicolas Sanson. Several bear the name of Pierre Du Val, Sanson's son-in-law.

A wonderful collection of maps demonstrating the mid-seventeenth century's understanding of the geography of Europe, Asia, the Middle East, Africa, and South America. R. V. Tooley, in Maps and Map-Makers, explains that with Sanson, France became the dominant nation of geographers. "Nicolas Sanson [...] in effect laid the foundations of what is known as the French school, the beginning of a great period, for from the time of Sanson in the second half of the 17th century till the latter part of the 18th French geographical conceptions were dominant, the center of the map production shifting from the Low Countries to France."

Tooley, 40.

"The most important work in the whole long list of books illustrated by Walter Crane...If Crane's claim to greatness were based entirely on this work, he would still retain his position in the front rank of nineteenth-century artists. The wealth of ideas and forms, real and fantastic, which are embodied in the actual illustrations, and even more in the marvellous decorative border designs, is almost incredible! Besides the numberless presentments of the human figure in all its manly vigour and womanly grace, the whole range of nature's forms, of animal and plant life, of fabulous, mythological inventions, of allegorical personifications, are worked into decorative designs of exquisite beauty. It would be petty, nay foolish, to try to find fault with certain very obvious shortcomings as regards anatomical drawing in a work which does not only stand unique as pure decoration, but speaks of an amount of knowledge and a wealth of imagination that command unrestricted admiration and respect" (Konody, p. 71).

The publication of this, Roald Dahl's first book, preceded the British publication by several months. Dahl, an RAF officer during World War II, wrote this story about a displaced group of creatures whose forest home has been destroyed in order to build a British airplane factory; they retaliate by plaguing RAF pilots and mischievously tampering with their aircraft. The story was optioned by Disney and was intended to be made into an animated film, but it was never produced. A note on the copyright page states: "The RAF Benevolent Fund will receive the author's share of the proceeds from the sale of this book." Dahl's next children's book, James and the Giant Peach, did not appear until eighteen long years later.

Stephen Gooden [illustrator]. The Fables of Jean de La Fontaine. London: William Heinemann, 1931.

Complete suite of proofs of the 26 copperplate line engravings for book. Limited to 15 sets of artist's proofs, in final state before letters.

Stephen Gooden [1892-1955] was the most accomplished line engraver of his time.

In addition, he produced a notable series of bookplates, including a number for The Royal Family, and was the official designer to the Bank of England. Because his work invariably appeared in limited editions, which restricted the public's access to his work, he is not as well known -- particularly in America -- as he deserves to be, but his work is unsurpassed.

Horton J. Howard, editor. The Juvenile Museum, A Miscellaneous Journal, Devoted to the Improvement and Moral Amusement of the Junior Class of Society. Conducted by Horton J. Howard. Mountpleasant, Ohio: Ezekiel Harris & Co., E. [Elisha] Bates - Printer, 1822-23.

First edition collecting the entire run of seventeen issues in one volume: September 16, 1822 -September 27, 1823. Very small quarto (6 x 3.5 inches). 190 pages.

Contemporary polished calf with gilt-stamped red morocco label. Gilt dulled. Binding somewhat worn, with a nick at head of spine. Hinges starting, but binding is still quite tight and sturdy.

A handsome little book in very good condition. Rare.

Horton Howard was the man behind what may have been the first children's periodical in America, The Printer's Boy, published in 1821-22 when Howard was an apprentice in the printing office of Elisha Bates. Soon after that first effort, Howard (still an apprentice) followed up with The Juvenile Museum, issued first as a semi-monthly and later as a monthly. According to the prospectus, it was to be "a sheet of innocent and interesting matter, for the improvement of the Junior Class of Society, of both sexes." In appreciation of Howard's efforts, a reader of The American Historical Record wrote in 1874, "These publications were of course very trifling affairs; but if they were the beginning of a class of publications which is at present very large and influential, they may be regarded with interest on that account, and Howard should receive due credit as a pioneer in that line."

The copy sold by the famed Midland Rare Book Company of Ohio in 1958. No other copy of the full run of this periodical seems to have come on the market in at least the past half-century, and there is no record of one having been at auction previous to the 1958 sale.

One plate was suppressed for moral reasons, but it appears in this first American edition.

[Clement C. Moore]. Prof. C. C. Moore. Christmas Carol. The Visit of St. Nicholas. Philadelphia: John M. Wolff, [1842].

Broadside (16.125 x 9.75 inches; 410 x 248 mm), with text printed in blue and a red border of ivy entwined about stylized interlocking branches within a blue double-ruled border; sides and top margin a bit chipped. A couple of short closed tears (measuring approximately one-half inch) at left and right margins, extending just past the blue borders, not affecting text or decorations. Paper toning a bit at edges. Red morocco portfolio lined in green moiré, front cover lettered gilt. A rare and wonderful item, in near fine condition.

The first separate printing of "The Night Before Christmas" crediting Moore as the author.

Wolff's broadside was issued as a "Merry Christmas and Happy New Year" greeting.

An otherwise fine copy of a notoriously rare illustrated book, housed in a custom book-backed pull-off cloth box with polished calf spine, lettering and decorations stamped in brown.

"As is noted in the preface to East of the Sun and West of the Moon, these folktales from the works of Asbjörnsen and Moe are by no means for the nursery. The Danish artist Nielsen, being thoroughly at home with the narrative tradition that they represent, was well equipped to present their strangeness and cruelty, as well as their humor and heroism. Though his drawings are highly decorative, they are nonetheless true illustrations. The contrast between Nielsen's bizarre style, filled with echoes of nineties' illustrators...and his primitive subject matter greatly enhances the piquancy of the book" (Ray).

One of 100 numbered copies, of which this is number 19, signed by the Publishers and Engravers/Printers, and with each mat signed in pencil by Arthur Rackham, out of a total edition of 600 copies. Large folio (21.125 x 19.5625 inches; 537 x 497 mm). [4] pages, including engraved title page and limitation statement. Twelve large color plates mounted in mats with descriptive tissue-guards.

Rebound to style in full vellum over boards. Front cover lettered in gilt. New white silk ties. Minor uneven surface wear to the vellum; some very minor areas of discoloration. Pages and mats toned, moreso at edges. Most pages with paper restoration along edges. Two matted plates with repaired tears to mats (plates are not affected): plate with caption "You know the boards which tell at what time the Gardens art to close to-day..." (right margin of mat has repaired tear measuring approximately four inches); and plate with caption "Fairies never say 'We feel happy' what they say is 'We feel dancey'" (long repaired tear to mat measuring approximately twelve inches extends from bottom margin to right margin, passing through the printed border of the mat, but not affecting the actual plate). Housed in a gilt-lettered black cloth slipcase with morocco tips. A very good copy of a scarce Rackham edition.

Of the 600 copies of this portfolio (which preceded the American portfolio by two years), one hundred were bound in full vellum and five hundred in half vellum; though the one hundred in full vellum were all supposed to carry Rackham's signature, only about twenty of them actually did. This portfolio and the American edition contain the largest Rackham plates ever printed. Greatly enlarged from their earlier appearance, these twelve plates are considered to be Rackham's personal favorites from the fifty that appeared in his 1906 illustrated trade edition of Peter Pan in Kensington Gardens.

J. K. Rowling. Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone. [London]: Bloomsbury, [1997].

One of the 500 first edition, first printing copies of the first and rarest of the Harry Potter books, and likely one of approximately 300 copies sent to British libraries, with glue remnants on the front free endpaper and evidence of stamp removal on the dedication page.

Octavo. 223, [1, blank] pages.

Publisher's pictorial laminated boards illustrated by Thomas Taylor. Heavy wear to the binding, which is noticeably rubbed, abraded and soiled, with cracking of the laminate along the edges and corners. Corners bumped and heavily rubbed. Spine reinforced with several strips of clear tape. Spine ends chipped. Appears to have also been re-laminated at some point. Text a bit toned but clean for such an obviously well-thumbed book. The bottom half of the dedication page appears to have been cleaned, possibly to remove a library stamp. Despite the wear to the binding, a good copy of the cornerstone Harry Potter book that Stephen King called "a feat of which only a superior imagination is capable."

"[Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone] is as funny, moving and impressive as the story behind its writing. J. K. Rowling, a teacher by training, was a 30-year-old single mother living on welfare in a cold one-bedroom flat in Edinburgh when she began writing it in longhand during her baby daughter's nap times. But like Harry Potter, she had wizardry inside, and has soared beyond her modest Muggle surroundings to achieve something quite special" (Michael Winnerip, New York Times Book Review, February 14, 1999).

First edition of Jane Austen's fourth published novel, considered by many her best, and the last to appear before her death in 1817 (both Persuasion and Northanger Abbey would be published posthumously). Three twelvemo volumes (each volume approximately 6.5625 x 4 inches; 168 x 102 mm.).

In addition, page 215 is incorrectly numbered 515 and corrected in pencil; page 233, line 17, has a pencil correction "side" to "cede".

Overall, a very good copy, attractively bound.

Jane Austen began to write Emma in January of 1814 and finished it a little over a year later, in March of 1815. It was published on 29 December 1815. "2000 copies were printed, and of these the records show that 1248 were sold by October 1816" (Gilson). The first American edition appeared in Philadelphia in 1816 and the first French translation in Paris in the same year, with a partial reissue in Vienna in 1817. No further editions are known until Richard Bentley's reissue in his Standard Novels series in February 1833.

Slight browning and offsetting of the text, as usual, and some occasional light foxing. There are a few additional leaves with tiny marginal tears or paper flaws, and some additional, mostly marginal, ink smudges or faint stains. A few pages are unevenly printed (with words faintly printed or letters over-inked and smudged). Despite the above-mentioned flaws, this is an excellent copy, in a very attractive binding.

"Mansfield Park is stated to have been begun about February 1811, and to have been completed 'soon after June, 1813'...It was being read by Henry Austen between March 2 and 9, 1814, presumably in proof sheets...On May 23 and 27 it was advertised in the Morning Chronicle, and was no doubt published, again at 18s., at the end of May. The size of the edition was moderate, probably about 1500 copies, and John Murray, the publisher of the second edition, expressed his surprise thereat...Although 'it was entirely sold out in the autumn' [by November, 1814]...no second edition was printed until 1816" (Keynes, pages 11-12).

Early twentieth-century full light brown crushed levant morocco by Rivière & Son (stamp-signed in gilt on the front turn-in of each volume). Covers with gilt triple fillet border; spines in six compartments with five gilt-dotted raised bands, decoratively tooled in gilt in four compartments and lettered in gilt in the remaining two, with the date in gilt in the bottom compartment; board edges ruled in gilt; turn-ins ruled in gilt and decoratively tooled in gilt; marbled endpapers, all edges gilt. Minimal rubbing to corners, spine extremities, and/or board edges; joints lightly rubbed and becoming tender, especially the rear joint on Volume IV; a few corners lightly bumped; small dark stain or stains to the upper edge of the rear cover of each volume and to the front cover of Volume III, each affecting a small portion of the gilt rules; a few small areas of slight rubbing or discoloration to the covers; tiny divot on the front cover of Volume I; free endpapers browned at the edges from turn-in glue.

Volume I with a tiny stain to the upper edge of the rear free endpaper, rear flyleaves, and final leaf of text; title starting to split at the upper gutter and with a tiny tear in the gutter margin; small piece torn from the upper corner of C10 (pages 43/44); E4 (pages 79/80) creased horizontally, not affecting any text; tiny hole in H6 (pages 155/156), affecting one letter on both the recto and verso.

Leaves C12 (pages 47/48) and I4-I9 (pages 175-186) in Volume II appear to be on slightly different paper, cleaner and crisper, and have either been washed or supplied from another copy at the time of binding. The paper in gathering G (pages 105-130) of Volume IV is very thin and there is considerable bleed through of the text.

There is slight browning and offsetting of the text, as usual, and some occasional light foxing. A few leaves in each volume with tiny marginal tears, holes, or paper flaws, not affecting text, and some mostly marginal ink smudges or faint stains. Despite these flaws, this is an excellent copy, in a very attractive binding.

"A considerable amount of discussion has centred around the composition of Northanger Abbey...The facts appear to be that the novel was written in 1797-98 with the title Susan...and that it was sold for £10 in the spring of 1803 to Messrs. Crosby & Co....It was actually announced for publication in Crosby's Flowers of Literature, 1803, but in spite of this was not printed. On April 5, 1809, Jane Austen addressed a letter...to 'Crosbie & Co.', asking why the book had not been printed and offering to supply a copy of the MS. if the other draft had been lost. This letter...was acknowledged by Richard Crosby, who offered in his reply to restore the MS. for the same sum as had been paid in 1803...and there the matter was allowed to drop. Seven years later, in 1816, negotiations were re-opened and the MS. was bought back for £10, Crosby still being unaware of the identity of the author...In 1809 a novel called Susan was published by another author, and Miss Austen changed the name of her work to Catherine. The publication of the book under this name was still being discussed in March 1817. Ultimately the name was changed to Northanger Abbey, and the novel was not printed until after the author's death [on July 18, 1817], with a biographical note by her brother Henry. Persuasion, the latest of the novels, was begun in 1815 and completed on July 18, 1816...The four volumes containing Northanger Abbey and Persuasion were advertised in the Morning Chronicle for December 19 and 20, 1817, and were published about that date" (Keynes, pages 18-19).

Roworth, / Bell-Yard, Temple-Bar.", and offsetting from a second edition title-page on the verso. The half-title in Volume II appears to be correct. The half-title and title in Volume III are both on stubs, the half-title apparently supplied from a second edition of Volume II, with the thick-thin rules on the recto measuring 25.5 mm. and with the printer's imprint on the verso reading: "G. SIDNEY, Printer, / I, Northumberland Street, Strand."

Despite the above-mentioned flaws, this is a very good copy, in a very attractive binding, of one of the most popular novels in the English language.

"The first draft of Pride and Prejudice was made at Steventon between October 1796 and August 1797 under the title First Impressions...It was not published until January 1813, when the success of Sense and Sensibility was already assured and the first edition almost sold out...Pride and Prejudice was issued in boards at 18s...The size of the edition is not known, but it was presumably larger than that of Sense and Sensibility, perhaps 1500 copies...The first edition was sold off very rapidly and a second one was printed in the same year; a third was printed four years later" (Keynes).

"Jane Austen's Sense and Sensibility was at least fifteen years in the making: first conceived and written as Elinor and Marianne in 1795 (a date from family tradition), converted into Sense and Sensibility beginning in November 1797 from its previous epistolary form (also family memory), revised twelve years later in 1809 and 1810 with a view to publication, accepted by the publisher Thomas Egerton in the winter of 1810, and published, finally, on 30 October 1811...Although Sense and Sensibility was the first of Jane Austen's novels to reach publication, it was not the first to be offered for that honour. In previous tries, First Impressions, the initial version of Pride and Prejudice, was refused by Cadell and Davies by return post in November 1797, and Susan, the first version of Northanger Abbey, was sold in the spring of 1803, but never deemed worthy of publication by the publisher, Richard Crosby...The proofs of the first edition of Sense and Sensibility were in Austen's hands by April 1811, but its publication was not advertised until 30 October, price 15s., in an advertisement that appeared in the Star on 7 and again on 27 November, and was repeated in the Morning Chronicle on 31 October and on 7, 9 and 28 November. It is not known for certain how many copies were printed, though an earlier estimate of 1,000 copies has been revised downwards by recent research suggesting that from 500 to 750 copies of a first novel on commission would have been normal publishing practice for John Murray" (Jane Austen, Sense and Sensibility, Edited by Edward Copeland (The Cambridge Edition of the Works of Jane Austen), pages xxiii-xxvii).

Elizabeth Bishop. North & South. Boston: Houghton Mifflin Company, [1946].

First edition, first printing. Octavo. 54 pages.

Publisher's blue cloth, with lettering and compass device in silver. Minor wear to cloth at extremities; very minor fading along top and bottom board edges. One corner very lightly bumped. Foxing and significant offsetting to endpapers; otherwise, pages quite clean.

A better than very good copy. Bishop's first book, only 1,000 copies printed. Scarce.

One of the most critically-acclaimed poets of the twentieth century, Elizabeth Bishop (1911-1979) served as Poet Laureate and won the Pulitzer Prize and the National Book Award for poetry. The publication of her first book of poetry drew immediate and profound attention. She was championed by influential poet and critic Randall Jarrell, whose unwavering praise helped to establish her as one of her generation's greatest poets: "the people of the future [...] will read her just as they will read Dickinson or Whitman or Stevens, or the other classical American poets still alive among us." Her close friend, the great poet Robert Lowell, wrote: "Elizabeth Bishop is the contemporary poet that I admire most.... There's a beautiful completeness to all of Bishop's poetry. I don't think anyone alive has a better eye than she had: The eye that sees things and the mind behind the eye that remembers." A stunning debut, and a cornerstone in modernist American poetry.

[Dante Alighieri]. [The Divine Comedy]. La Comedia di Dante Aligieri con la Nova Espositione di Allesandro Vellutello. [Edited and with commentary by Alessandro Vellutello]. [Venice: Francesco Marcolini for Alessandro Vellutello, June 1544].

First Vellutello edition, and the first use of this influential series of woodcuts. Small quarto in eights (8.5 x 5.75 inches; 215 x 145 mm.). Complete (AA-BB8, CC10, A-Z8, AB-AZ8, BC-BI8). Italic type, with roman type for titles, headings, and headlines. Text surrounded by commentary. Capital spaces with guide letters. With eighty-seven woodcut illustrations, including three full-page woodcuts opposite the first page of Hell, Purgatory, and Heaven, respectively, and two repeats. Marginal diagrams. With the extra text from Canto II of the "Purgatorio" stamped at the foot of V7 recto.

Later calf spine over tan paper boards. Spine decoratively ruled and lettered in gilt with four raised bands. Silk ribbon marker. Moderate wear and abrading to the binding, especially the board edges and front board. Top edge trimmed. Three small dampstains to the title leaf and second leaf. Scattered minor foxing, staining, and thumb-soiling throughout, mostly to margins. Small portion of top corner of title renewed. Minor paper repair to fore-edge margin of BH6-BI1, affecting just a couple of letters per leaf. BI8 and rear free endpaper with paper reinforcement along the gutters. Tiny hole to fore-edge margin of BI2, affecting just a few letters. Small blue "X" to fore-edge margin of N8. A very good copy.

"While the fifteenth-century blocks could serve as a quick reference for figures in the text, these 1544 blocks are an extension of the commentary, a more instructive form of illustration" (Harvard, Italian, 146). The woodcuts reappeared in the Sessa brothers's editions of 1564, 1578, and 1596, and seventy-nine of the original eighty-five block were used in Palazzi's Compendio della Comedia di Dante Alighieri (Venice: Albrizzi), and were also widely copied.

"Alessandro Vellutello (dates of birth and death unknown) published his commentary to the Commedia in 1544. Printed by Francesco Marcolini and dedicated to Pope Paul III, the commentary contains some of the most beautiful illustrations to the poem of the Renaissance" (Richard H. Lansing, The Dante Encyclopedia, page 850).

[Daniel Defoe]. The Life and Strange Surprizing Adventures of Robinson Crusoe, of York, Mariner. Who lived eight and twenty years all alone in an uninhabited Island on the Coast of America near the Mouth of the Great River of Oroonoque, having been cast on Shore by Shipwreck, wherein all the Men perished but himself, with an account how he was at last as strangely delivered by Pyrates. [with, in Volume II:] The Farther Adventures of Robinson Crusoe; Being the Second and Last Part of his Life, and of the Strange Surprizing Account of his Travels Round three parts of the Globe. London: John Stockdale, 1790.

Stockdale edition. Two octavo volumes. xii, 389; v, 456 pages, plus eight pages of ads. Thirteen plates, plus two frontispieces and two vignettes. Including a biographical essay, "The Life of Daniel de Foe," by George Chalmers, as well as Chalmers' Defoe bibliography.

Contemporary half polished calf with marbled boards. Gilt stamped and decorated spines. Bookplates. Joints have split and boards are becoming detached. Rubbed and darkened. General toning with offsetting from plates. A few scattered spots of foxing and soiling. A good set.

From Lovett, "Stockdale's edition was an important contribution to the life of Defoe's book. The handsome set restored the Crusoe text which, by 1790, had been much abused. George Chalmers' Life of Defoe was the first significant biography of Defoe. Thomas Stothard, R. A., was a known artist, and his extensive and beautiful illustrations made Stockdale's the first edition so finely decorated."

Original publisher's moderate reddish brown vertically-ribbed cloth. Covers decoratively bordered in blind, front covers pictorially stamped in gilt (depicting young Alfred reading to his mother), spines decoratively stamped and lettered in gilt. Marbled edges and endpapers. Spines very slightly faded, with a few tiny chips at extremities; short split to upper front joint of Volume I; short split to front joint of Volume II at top and bottom; corners lightly rubbed; some slight discoloration to cloth and a few small stains. The gilt on the spines is a little dulled, but the gilt on the front covers is still relatively bright. Tiny split to upper front hinge of Volume I; front hinge of Volume II starting, rear hinge cracked, but sound; hinges of Volume III cracked, but holding. Some light foxing.

Charles Dickens. A Christmas Carol. In Prose. Being a Ghost Story of Christmas. With Illustrations by John Leech. London: Chapman & Hall, 1843.

First edition, first issue, with the text uncorrected, "Stave I" as the first chapter heading, red and blue title page dated 1843, blue half-title, and green endpapers. Small octavo. [8], 166, [2, advertisements] pages. Four hand-colored steel-engraved plates (frontispiece and plates facing pages 25, 78, and 150) by and after John Leech, and four wood-engraved text illustrations (on pages 37, 73, 119, and 164) by W. J. Linton after John Leech.

Publisher's vertically-ribbed cinnamon cloth. Covers decoratively stamped in blind with a single-line border enclosing a decorative border of holly and ivy; front cover decoratively lettered in gilt within a gilt wreath of holly leaves. Spine decoratively stamped and lettered in gilt. All edges gilt. Original green coated endpapers. The binding matches Todd's first impression, second issue, first state, with the closest interval between the blindstamping left border and the left extremity of the gilt wreath measuring 13 mm. and with the upper serif of the "D" in "Dickens" within the wreath unbroken. Housed in a brown cloth chemise and quarter dark red morocco slipcase with marbled boards and gilt spine titles on black and green leather title labels.

Moderate edge wear. Light spotting to covers. Hinges repaired at a much earlier period. Spine rebacked with most of the original cloth laid down, save small portions of the spine ends. Spine somewhat darkened and slightly shelf-cocked. A couple of tiny tears to the gilt on the spine. Front hinge starting; rear hinge cracked. Minor occasional spotting, heaviest around the inner plates. Overall, a very good copy of a rare first printing of Dickens' Christmas classic.

First printing copies of A Christmas Carol are quite rare, and highly-prized by Dickens collectors. Rarer still are copies like this one, from Dickens' own library, evidenced by the presence of Dickens' bookplate and the Gadshill Library bookplate, both of which are affixed to the front pastedown. The Gadshill Library plate reads "From the Library of CHARLES DICKENS, Gadshill Place, June, 1870" and was most assuredly sold in the 1870 auction of Dickens' library.

Bookplate of W. W. Corcoran affixed to the rear pastedown. William Wilson Corcoran (1798-1888) was an American banker, philanthropist, and art collector who founded the Corcoran Gallery in Washington, D. C., which he created to house his private art collection and "for the purpose of encouraging American Genius."

Binding is rubbed with splitting to front joint and sunning along backstrip. Offsetting to endpapers. Small dampstain to top edge affecting frontispiece and vignette title.

Charles Dickens. Great Expectations. In Three Volumes. London: Chapman and Hall, 1861.

First edition, first impression of each volume. Three octavo volumes (7.8125 x 4.9375 inches; 198 x 125 mm.). [4], 344; [2], 351, [1, printer's imprint]; [2], 344 pages plus 32-page publisher's catalog, dated May, 1861.

This copy has all of the internal flaws for the first issue called for by Smith, including the two points in Volume III that Smith notes only appeared in Sadleir's copy ("3" missing in page number on p. 103, and first "i" missing in "inflexible" on p. 193, four lines up), and with the first issue title pages.

In addition, almost all of the 126 points outlined in the detailed analysis found in the 1993 Clarendon edition of Great Expectations (Appendix D, Lists C and D, pp. 493-499) are in the earliest state, with the following six exceptions in Volume III: on p. 192, lines 11-12, with "himself very/carefully"; on p. 39, line 5, there is no ink between "you" and "feel"; on p. 193, foot, the middle "I" in "III" is not faint; on p. 195, line 2, the first inverted comma is not very faint; on p. 217, line 3, the dot of the semi-colon is missing after "night"; and on p. 220, line 16, the end-of-line hyphen is not faint.

Publisher's original moderate violet wavy-grain cloth with covers decoratively panelled in blind and spines ruled in blind and decoratively stamped and lettered in gilt. Original pale yellow coated endpapers. Embossed stamp on the front free endpaper of Volume I: W. H. Smith & Son, 186, Strand, London.

Each volume is just slightly skewed, the spines slightly darkened, and the gilt on the spines dulled. Volume I with expert restoration to the head and foot of the spine and fore-edge corners, with very short splits at the rear joint, with a tiny chip to the front joint; the front hinge just starting, and the rear hinge cracked, but sound. Volume II with expert restoration at the head of the spine; a few tiny chips and a short split to the cloth at the foot of the spine at the rear joint; a short split to the cloth on the rear joint; the front hinge starting, and the rear hinge cracked, but sound. Volume III with expert restoration to the head and foot of the spine, with a couple tiny splits at the rear joint and a miniscule chip; very slight blistering to the cloth on the spine at the rear joint; the front and rear hinges cracked, but sound.

Each volume is generally clean and fresh internally. Volume I with a few fox marks to the front free endpaper and the title page; leaves O5 and O6 (pp. 201/202 and 203/204) poorly opened, with a small piece torn from the upper blank corner of O5; S2 and S3 (pp. 259/260 and 261/262) poorly opened in the upper gutter; a tiny tear and crease to the lower edge of X2 (pp. 307/308); Z1 and Z2 (pp. 337/338 and 339/340) poorly opened, with a small piece missing in the upper gutter. Volume II with light foxing, primarily to the edges; a few faint pencil marks on pp. 74 and 75; over-opened at gathering H (between pp. 96 and 97); a few stains on H7 (pp. 109/110); L6 (pp. 155/156) poorly cut at lower edge; P7 and P8 (pp. 221/222 and 223/224) poorly opened, with a small piece torn from the lower blank corner of P7; a tiny rust spot in the inner margin of pp. 245, 246, and 247; U4 (pp. 296/297) poorly cut at the lower edge; an ink smudge on p. 332. Volume III with a small stain in the inner margin of leaves G6-H2 (pp. 91-100); G1 and G2 (pp. 81/82 and 83/84) poorly opened, with a tiny piece torn from G1; a few rust spots on pp. 226 and 227; a paper flaw to Z3 (pp. 341/342), with a tiny extension folded over onto p. 342; just slightly over-opened between p. 344 and the publisher's catalogue and between pp. 30 and 31 of the catalog.

Despite the above mentioned flaws, this is a remarkable copy in beautiful condition and with a minimal amount of restoration. There is what appears to be a tiny erasure in the lower blank margin of the title page of each volume, but no evidence of later issue edition statements having been removed from the title pages and no evidence of lending library labels having been removed from the front covers.

"Great Expectations originally appeared in thirty-six weekly numbers of All the Year Round from 1 December 1860 through 3 August 1861. It appeared in the three-volume book form on July 6, 1861...This first edition was followed by four other so-called editions (actually issues) on August 5, August 17, September 21, and October 30. These first five were probably printed at a single impression and published with altered title pages to imply and encourage a rapid sale. (The words announcing the 'edition' are printed between the volume number and the imprint.) In all five issues, the same misprints persist. The genuine second edition was the one-volume 'Library Edition' with Chapman and Hall published in 1862" (Smith, pp. 103-104, note 3).

"The rarity of the first issue of Great Expectations has been attributed to the probable small binding-up of copies with the first title page, coupled with the fact (according to C. P. Johnson, Hints to Collectors, p. 33, and others later) that 'the first edition was almost entirely taken up by the libraries.' Patten, pp. 290-92, states that 1,000 copies of the first issue and 750 of the second were printed and that probably most of the first and more than half of the second (1,400) copies in all) were purchased by Mudie's Select Library" (Smith I, p. 104, note 5).

In the fall of 1922, the Toronto Star sent Ernest Hemingway to Constantinople to cover the war between Greece and Turkey. While there, the young correspondent "made a few acquaintances among the military personnel, pumping them for authoritative pronouncements on the probable course of events. One of the most talkative was a brusk, red-faced soldier of fortune named Colonel Charles Sweeny, who spoke like a man of the world and amazed Ernest with his grasp of military science and tactics" (Carlos Baker, Ernest Hemingway. A Life Story, pp. 97-98).

The two men became fast and lifelong friends. Colonel Sweeny was a mercenary soldier who was purported to have fought in seven wars for five different countries. Both he and Hemingway found themselves in Spain during the Civil War there, a notable association considering the subject matter of For Whom the Bell Tolls.

"[Hemingway's] Sundays that fall [1929] combined duty and pleasure -- Mass at St. Sulpice with Pauline, followed by the six-day bicycle races at the Velodrome d'Hiver. Colonel Charles Sweeny was his regular companion until he learned that the races were fixed and refused to go anymore" (Carlos Baker, Ernest Hemingway. A Life Story, p. 205).

"[Charles Sweeny] has one of the most brilliant military brains I have ever known... Charley got into the Spanish war late and every time I would go from Paris he would come and help pack the rucksacks, get the tickets, look after everything that had to be done and then come down to the station and buy a supper with champagne...He's wonderful. But I would rather listen to him on military things than anybody I have ever known" (Ernest Hemingway, in a letter to Maxwell Perkins, February 1940, from Ernest Hemingway. Selected Letters, edited by Carlos Baker, pp. 501-502).

"We are going to leave here Nov. 10 for Salt Lake City and shoot with friends there for a few days. Very nice people. They were up here with Charles Sweeny, very old pal and soldier in various armies, Venezuelan, against Castro, Mexican, with Madero, Foreign Legion, U.S., Morrocan [sic], R.A. F. We were together in Near East and in Spain and he is one of [my] very oldest friends" (Ernest Hemingway, in a letter to General Charles T. Lanham, November 2, 1946, from Ernest Hemingway. Selected Letters, edited by Carlos Baker, p. 612).

"When Mary got back early in October [1949], Ernest was already talking of completing the novel [Across the River and Into the Trees] by November 1. All the time he had ever spent in Italy, he wrote Buck Lanham, was now 'paying off doubled and redoubled.' He said that his hero Cantwell was a composite portrait of three men: Charlie Sweeny, the former soldier of fortune; Lanham, the hard-driving West Pointer; and most of all himself as he might have been if he had turned to soldiering instead of writing" (Carlos Baker, Ernest Hemingway. A Life Story, p. 475).

The friendship between Hemingway and Sweeny lasted for the rest of their lives. In fact, after Hemingway's death in 1961, Sweeny was named an honorary pallbearer at the great author's funeral. Col. Sweeny died two years later, at the age of 81.

[Jack London]. The Kempton-Wace Letters. New York: The Macmillan Company, 1903.

First edition, first issue, without the author's names on the title page. Presentation copy, inscribed by Jack London with a quote from the Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam on the front free endpaper: "To dear Charles Warren Stoddard-/'Indeed, indeed, Repentance/oft before/I swore-but was I/sober when I swore?'/Jack London./The Bungalow,/June 6, 1903." Octavo. [6], 256, [3, ads], [3, blank] pages. Written in collaboration with Anna Strunsky and published anonymously. With a sheet inserted at front containing an ink notation in Charles Warren Stoddard's hand: "These Letters were/written by two hands-namely:-/'Dane Kempton' by/Anna Strunsky, a/Russian Jewess./and/Herbert Wace by/Jack London."

Original grayish-blue cloth, with front decoratively stamped in black in an all-over floral design and lettered in white, with spine decoratively stamped in gilt and black and lettered in gilt. Top edge gilt, others uncut. Minimal rubbing to corners and spine ends. Front hinge cracked, but sound; rear hinge starting. Otherwise a fine, bright copy. Housed in a worn custom gilt-stamped dark blue morocco-edged cloth slipcase.

Issued very early in his career -- in fact, in the same year as his now-classic The Call of the Wild -- The Kempton-Wace Letters was a collaborative novel consisting of an epistolary discussion of the philosophy of love, written anonymously by Jack London and Anna Strunsky, a woman with whom the then-married London was romantically involved. Charles Warren Stoddard (1843-1909) was a California poet and author of many travel narratives, including The Lepers of Molokai (1885), the title of which London borrowed for an article in the Woman's Home Companion in 1908. As evidenced by London's breezy letters to the older Stoddard, the two appear to have been on quite friendly terms. In one letter from 1900, London -- referring to Stoddard's books on the South Seas -- writes: "You are responsible. You have sown the seeds of unrest in me." A wonderful association item.

Melville's permanent fame must always rest on the great prose epic of Moby Dick, a book that has no equal in American literature for variety and splendor of style and for depth of feeling" (Dictionary of American Biography XII, pp. 522-526).

"Moby Dick is the great conundrum-book. Is it a profound allegory with the white whale the embodiment of moral evil, or merely the finest story of the sea ever written?" (Grolier, 100 American).

Salinger's classic has inspired not only generations of disillusioned youth, it also inspired James Stern to write an unconventional Salinger-esque review in the New York Times Book Review: "This girl Helga, she kills me. She reads just about everything I bring into the house, and a lot of crumby stuff besides. [...] You should've seen old Hel hit the ceiling when I told her this Salinger, he has not only written a novel, it's a Book-of-the-Month Club selection, too. For crying out loud, she said, what's it about? About this Holden Caulfield, I told her [...] he's just like you. He finds the whole world's full of people say one thing and mean another and he doesn't like it; and he hates movies and phony slobs and snobs and crumby books and war. Boy, how he hates war. Just like you, Hel, I said. But old Hel, she was already reading this crazy Catcher book all over again. That's always a good sign with Hel" (New York Times Book Review, July 15, 1951).

Publisher's bright red cloth with gilt lettering and blind-stamped decorative borders. Minor wear to extremities; one corner bumped. Front hinge starting. Bookplate of London's friend Ida H. Winship to front pastedown, another (an armorial bookplate of the Chase family) to verso of front free endpaper (it appears that someone has unsuccessfully attempted to remove this bookplate, which is on the verso of the page containing Sinclair's inscription, resulting in a hole directly above the inscription). Else, very good.

Upton Sinclair and Jack London were friends and fellow Socialists who fought loudly and strenuously for social justice. London's People of the Abyss, a look at "the economic degradation of the poor" who lived in London's East End, is often cited as an inspiration for Sinclair's classic, The Jungle. A wonderful association copy.

Upton Sinclair. The Jungle. New York: The Jungle Publishing Co., [1906].

First edition, first state, with "Sustainers' Edition" label to front pastedown (stating that this is one of approximately 5,000 copies printed privately and published concurrently with the Doubleday, Page trade edition). Signed by Upton Sinclair on front free endpaper. Also, inscribed by Jack London to his sister Eliza. Octavo. 413 pages, plus three pages of publisher's ads.

Original dark olive pictorial cloth, stamped in black and white, and lettered in white; with Socialist Party symbol of two clasped hands before a map on front board. Binding a little loose. Cloth rubbed, extremities worn; a few scratches and blue stains to rear board, some stains to rear endpapers. White stamping -- particularly the lettering -- is rubbed; lettering on spine barely legible. A couple of spots to page edges. A fantastic association item that appears to have been well-read, in better than good condition.

The Jungle -- a powerful exposé on conditions in the Chicago meat-packing industry -- was both an instant bestseller and a monumentally influential book. Sinclair's graphic descriptions of the dire conditions in the nation's slaughterhouses caused a huge public outcry and led directly to the passage of the Pure Food and Drug Act in 1906 and, ultimately, to the creation of the Food and Drug Administration.

When Sinclair had difficulty selling his politically-charged manuscript to publishers, he decided to publish it himself, asking payment from readers in advance in order to raise the needed funds. This "Sustainer's Edition" is the result. In order to excite readers, Sinclair had fellow Socialist Jack London write what he later called a "tremendous endorsement." London wrote, in part: "[What] Uncle Tom's Cabin did for black slaves, The Jungle has a large chance to do for the wage-slaves of today. It depicts not what our country ought to be [...] but it depicts what our country really is, the home of oppression and injustice, a nightmare of misery, an inferno of suffering, a human hell, a jungle of wild beasts."

It is no surprise, then, to read London's inscription, written to his sister Eliza Shepard directly beneath Sinclair's signature on the front free endpaper: "Dearest Sister Eliza -- This is a true book, and it smashes a sledge-hammer blow for the Revolution. Jack London, March 8, 1906." Eliza was the executor of her brother's estate after his death in 1916. An important book and an incredible association copy.

John Steinbeck. Of Mice and Men. New York: Covici Friede Publishers, [1937].

First edition, first issue, with bullet between the eights on page 88 and with "and only moved because the heavy hands were pendula" on page 9, lines 20-21. Octavo. 186 pages.

Original beige cloth with the front cover and spine stamped in terracotta and black. Top edge stained blue. Original pictorial dust jacket with the $2.00 price. Very minor rubbing to the binding. Pencil notations on the front free endpaper. Dust jacket shows some rubbing, fading to the spine and corners, a few small losses to the spine, and a few tiny closed tears. A very good copy.

Due to the seemingly offensive language, profanity, and the perceived stances on business and euthanasia, the novel was subject to much censorship and was subsequently placed on the American Library Association's list of Most Challenged Books of the 21st Century. Steinbeck's emotionally stirring novel, for which he gained both a Pulitzer Prize and much controversy, continues today as an enduring fixture among the American classics.

John Steinbeck. Their Blood is Strong. San Francisco: Simon J. Lubin Society of California, 1938.

First edition, first printing (April, 1938). Octavo, stapled wrappers. 33 pages. Photographs by Dorothea Lange.

Pictorial wrappers. Small area of discoloration to rear wrapper. Else, fine.

Steinbeck's non-fiction look at the plight of the California migratory farm worker, many of whom had fled the devastated Dust Bowl. Originally written as a series for the San Francisco News, these articles led directly to his masterpiece, The Grapes of Wrath. The last sentences from the epilogue, titled "Starvation Under the Orange Trees": "[W]e complain about feeding the men and women who work our lands. Is it possible that this state is so stupid so vicious and so greedy that it cannot feed and clothe the men and women who help to make it the richest area in the world? Must the hunger become anger and the anger fury before anything will be done?"

John Steinbeck. Tortilla Flat. New York: Covici-Friede, [1935].

Publisher's square binding with stiff cream covers. Laid into dust jacket that has been glued at spine. Fading and darkening along spine with some darkening to all edges. Lightly foxed along top edge. Pages mildly toned. A very good copy of this scarce and fragile edition.

One of Steinbeck's great "California novels" about a group of Hispanic locals living near Monterey in an area known as Tortilla Flat. This work was his first critical success, winning the California Commonwealth Club's Gold medal and was adapted into an excellent film version in 1942, starring Spencer Tracy and John Garfield.

[13]; "with the was" on p. 57; final leaf blank; and frontispiece with "Heliotype Printing Company" and visible tablecloth. Also, "Huck Decided" instead of "Huck Decides" under "Chapter VI" on p.

Mark Twain. The American Claimant. New York: Charles L. Webster & Co., 1892.

First edition. Laid in is a one-page autograph aphorism on "Riverdale on the Hudson" stationery signed by Mark Twain. The aphorism reads in full: "Work & Play are words used to describe the same thing under differing conditions. Truly yours Mark Twain June 30/03." Note card was once folded and has a horizontal center crease; card was also once pasted to another paper surface with residual paper remnants still adhered to verso. Octavo. [i]-[xvi], 17-277, [1, blank], [8, ads], [2, blank] pages. Frontispiece and several illustrations throughout by Dan Beard.

Publisher's olive green pictorial cloth stamped in black and gilt. Very minor wear to tips of corners. With the small gilt-stamped morocco book label of collector John Stuart Groves on front pastedown. An exceedingly handsome copy in fine condition, housed in a chemise and gilt-stamped quarter leather slipcase.

The American Claimant is one of Twain's lesser-known comic novels -- a sequel of sorts to his 1873 novel The Gilded Age. Amusingly, Twain states categorically in his introductory note to this forgotten gem that "No weather will be found in this book" as such "persistent intrusions of weather are bad for both reader and author." Helpfully, though, he provides an appendix filled with several literary passages on various types of weather, written by other people, should the reader require rain-drenched, sun-scorched, dusty, or windy interludes.

A wonderful book in beautiful condition, accompanied by one of Twain's most popular aphorisms, hand-written and signed by him.

Mark Twain. The Celebrated Jumping Frog of Calaveras County, and Other Sketches. Edited by John Paul [pseudonym of Charles Henry Webb]. New York: C. H. Webb, Publisher, 1867.

First edition of author's first published book, second issue, with the following points: single leaf of advertising on cream-yellow paper inserted between preliminary flyleaf and title is not present; first issue points all show wear to type.

Front cover lettered in gilt with gilt jumping frog in a diagonal position in the lower left corner, rear cover stamped in blind with jumping frog in same position, spine ruled and lettered in gilt with gilt publisher's device at foot. Brown coated endpapers. Cloth is lightly rubbed along extremities with a few small spots of soiling to front board. Bright gilt. A few spots of foxing along edges. One small gathering slightly sprung. Dampstain to front blank, above Twain's signature, created by an amateurish attempt to remove a previous owner's inscription. Toning to preliminary pages and page edges with light, scattered foxing throughout. A very attractive, near fine copy in better condition than typically found.

"Perhaps no short sketch of Twain's so quickly won wide popularity as did 'The Jumping Frog.' Calaveras County, California, is known to thousands who have never seen the Golden State simply because of this gem of humor. This little volume, the author's first published book, came into being under the sponsorship of Charles Henry Webb-who also edited it under his pseudonym of 'John Paul.' To accompany 'The Jumping Frog' he chose twenty-six other sketches, of which at least two, 'Curing a Cold' and 'The Story of the Bad Little Boy Who Didn't Come to Grief,' later attained the distinction of being incorporated into recitation books for the delectation of even wider audiences" (Zamorano Eighty).

Publisher's full Japanese vellum. Titles and decoration stamped in gilt on front and spine. Top edge gilt with remaining edges untrimmed. Binding is mildly rubbed and darkened. Light toning to pages. A near fine copy.

The Picture of Dorian Gray, Oscar Wilde's only novel, is considered by many to be his greatest work. Controversial at the time of publication and attacked by many as "immoral," Wilde happily dismissed the controversy with his response to the critics: "Leave my book, I beg you, to the immortality that it deserves." In fact, he had anticipated the critical reaction when he wrote in the novel's preface: "There is no such thing as a moral or an immoral book. Books are well written, or badly written. That's all."

Oscar Wilde. The Sphinx. With Decorations by Charles Ricketts. London: Elkin Mathews and John Lane, at the Sign of the Bodley Head, 1894.

First edition, limited to 200 copies for distribution in England. Quarto. Printed in red, black and green. With illustrations and decorations by Charles Ricketts.

Original vellum gilt beautifully decorated by Charles Ricketts, stamp-signed by him at the bottom left of the front cover. The monogram of the binders, Leighton, Son and Hodge, appears on the back cover. Light wear and spotting to boards. A few short abrasions to the vellum along the bottom of the front cover. Moderate toning and spotting to endpapers and some inner leaves. Previous ownership signature to front free endpaper. All in all, a very bright copy of one of Ricketts' finest works.

"The Sphinx is his [Ricketts´] best book ... The result is a perfect whole, as harmonious as it is dazzling. The haunting designs gold-stamped on the vellum covers propose the subject. The poet's mood is established by the figure of Melancholia gazing at the Sphinx in the pictorial title. The adventures of this hybrid creature through the 'weary centuries' are obliquely presented in the designs that follow. And the poet's final turning back from the 'foul dreams of sensual life' that she has imposed upon him to the creed of the crucifixion is delayed in the conclusion ... this remains his [Ricketts'] most original and consistent work" (Ray. Illustrator and the Book in England 1770 to 1914, p. 163).
