Pamphlet. iv, [5]-40 p.; 22 cm. An imagined dialogue between a learned cardinal, followed by other clergy, with Pope Innocent X (Giambattista Pamfili) 1644-55, on a Huguenot enthusiast who `"commenced at the second verse of the thirteenth chapter of the Acts of the Apostles, in a new edition of the French Bible, translated by the doctors of Louvain, which was printed at Paris in the year 1646; `in which,' added the disputant, `may be seen and read at this present moment, in large and beautiful characters, the blessed word MASS; and it appears to me that the apostles pronounced it, for the text goes on to say that `they said Mass to the Lord," and O most holy father---" Here the pope interrupted the cardinal, saying, "He could perceive nothing unreasonable or contrary to the canons of the Church in what the preacher set forth, in defence of the orthodoxy of the Mass;--but," said his holiness, "proceed, for I feel impatient to hear the whole of the disputation."' Good, side sewn, edgeworn cover title.

Hardcover. Condition: Fair. 1st Edition. Full period calf. Small octavo. xxx, 524pp. A curious collection of poetry dedicated to the following subjects: encounters, games, love and serious subjects. The game section has much on chess, billiards, dice and other pastimes. This work has been attributed to the satirical poet David Ferrand and to Dutuit, lawyer for the Parliament of Normandy. The binding is worn with some scuffing and heavy edgewear to the covers and some dryness to the spine and chipping to the spine tips. The text is good with some scattered spotting and soiling and some light staining to a few margins. The title page is loose and chipped at the left side. There is some early ink writing to the inside cover and rear endsheet. This copy has no front flyleaves. Scarce.

Hardcover. Condition: Good. First Edition. Exceedingly scarce in the trade, there being only two additional copies available on-line currently. A perfectly serviceable reference copy of one of the oddest items ever to be held in my hands; nothing fancy, but complete and still pretty sturdy. In apparent First Edition state, with no additional printing states listed. Bound in full period calf-leather in a short octavo format measuring 6 3/4" x 4" tall and wide, respectively. Binding is worn and scuffed a bit and with some but not a lot of stress to joints; front upper is lightly cracked. Spine is a bit dry, tips are bruised a bit and scuffed, paste-down is a bit spotted and with scattered ink marks, else the item stands easily on its own on the shelf. The Table of Contents shows: Title, Epistre (4 sheets), Avertissement and Privilege (4 sheets), Tables (3 sheets), Portrait de l'auteur a sa maitresse (4 sheets). Five chapters follow, to wit: Entretiens, Jeux, Amours, Galanteries, Pieces serieuses. Les Veritez Plaisantes ou le Monde au Naturel is entirely in French. It features finely engraved black-and-white heads and tails and sports lovely initials. There are five raised bands, and it's red-stained all around. There are five fleurs-de-lis stamped in gilt finely to spine, short title stamped sharply into burgundy leather in one compartment. The satirical poet David Ferrand is credited with this work, but so was a lawyer for the Parliament of Normandy, Dutuit, according to a penciled note inside rear board. The note is trustworthy, coming from the book scout and bibliographer, erotophile and literary sleuth, Gershon Legman, as conveyed to me by his fabulous widow, Judith Legman. In addition, in the fourth volume of Barbier's Dictionnaire des ouvrages anonymes et pseudonymes (Dictionary of Anonymous and Pseudonymous Works), at p. 945 in a footnote, is the attribution of these Pleasant Verses to an avocat in the Normandy Parliament "by the name of Dutuit" (translated via Google Translate). That bibliographer, Antoine-Alexandre Barbier (Jan. 11, 1765 - Dec. 5, 1825) was a French librarian and bibliographer whose abovementioned work "helped to preserve scholarly books and manuscripts during and after the French Revolution" (Encyclopedia Britannica, on-line entry). Of his many accomplishments were that, in 1794, he was temporarily commissioned to distribute back to various libraries of Paris the books and manuscripts that had been confiscated during the French Revolution. Then he set his sights to preserve works in the arts and sciences, including the letters of "Pierre-Daniel Huet, bishop of Avranches, and, more important, the manuscripts of the works of François Fénelon, the celebrated 17th-century author and theologian." Then released from his Catholic Church orders, being obsessed more with books than with thoughts of the Afterlife, Barbier "became librarian successively to the Directory, to the Conseil d?État, and, in 1807, to Napoleon, for whom he also researched scholarly answers to political and religious problems" (Encyclopedia Britannica). All in, a nice exemplar of a scare tome. [xxxii], 2-524 pp.Member, I.O.B.A., C.B.A., and adherent to the highest ethical standards. Additional postage may be required for oversize or especially heavy volumes, and for sets.

1st Edition (ESTC T107022). 30 pp. 8vo. 7-13/16" x 5" Bill read 31 January 1718, regarding Jacobite Rebellion confiscations and contributions. Binding - VG+ (amorial bookplate of the Hon. Hew Dalrymple). Text block with age-toning & staining. Prior owner has written Dalrymple's name to t.p. Lacking D4, a blank. A Good copy of the text. Later gun-metal colored cloth binding.

Quarter Leather. Condition: Very good. The first edition of An Enquiry Into The Conduct Of General Putnam, In Relation To The Battle Of Bunker, Or Breed's Hill, attributed to David Lee Child. (illustrator). First Edition. Octavo, [5], 6-58pp. Three quarter brown morocco, marbled boards. Title stamped in gilt along the spine. Bookplate removed from front pastedown. New endpapers. Occasional light foxing throughout, toning along margins of title page. (Sabin 12696). This pamphlet was written in response to the Dearborn-Putnam controversy, a long-running historical dispute, which reignited in 1818, when General Henry Dearborn published an account of the Battle of Bunker Hill alleging that Major General Israel Putnam had shown indecision and cowardice by failing to assume effective command during the engagement. Dearborn's charges directly challenged the Revolutionary War heroism long attributed to Putnam and provoked an intense regional backlash, particularly in Connecticut, where Putnam was venerated. The controversy unfolded through a series of pamphlets, newspaper editorials, and public statements defending or attacking Putnam's conduct. Historians have since viewed the episode as an instructive example of the politicization of Revolutionary War reputations in the early republic, reflecting the tension between emerging historical inquiry and entrenched patriotic legend.

Hardcover. Condition: Fine. Brewster, Sir David (attributed*). Photogenic Drawing, or Drawing by the Agency of Art. The Edinburgh Review or Critical Journal, printed by Ballantyne and Hughes in Edinburgh, vol 76, October 1842 to January 1843no. 154 (January 1843): 317-344, in the bound volume 76 for 1842-1843, of ii, 612pp. Bound in calf-backed marbled boards. There is some occasional and insignificant foxing here and there, though the text is clean and bright for the most part, and quite crisp. FINE copy. This volume includes (presumably) Brewster reviewing and discussing four very early and highly important works in the new science of photography (work by Daguerre, Fox Talbot, Netto, and Moser, 1839-1842): "1. History and Practice of Photogenic Drawing, or the true Principles of the Daguerreotype. By the Inventor, L. J. M. DAGUERRE, translated by J. S. MEMES, LL,D. 8vo. Lond. 1839. 2. Some Account of the Art of Photogenic Drawing, or the Process by which Natural Objects may be made to Delineate themselves Without the aid of the Artist's Pencil. By HENRY Fox TALBOT, Esq., F.R.S. 8vo. Lond. 1839. 3. Die Calotypische Portraitirkunst. Von Dr F. A. W. NETTO, Quedlingburg und Leipzig, 1842. 4. Ueber der Process des Sehens und die Wirkung des Lichts auf Alle Korper. Von Ludwig MOSER, Poggendorff Annalen der Physik und Chemie, Band LVI, 1842. No. 6." [I also offer the Moser paper elsewhere on ABE.] All in: Edinburgh Review, January 1843, in the bound volume 76 for the years 1842-1843. (*The suggestion of Brewster as author of this anonymous article put forward by Kaya Silverman in their "The miracle of analogy, or, The history of photography," Stanford, 2015) [++] In any event Brewster takes off in his very thorough adventure into the new realms of photography, adopting a rather conversational style, a popular style, not so much like his professional contributions but rather for a more general audience that would be the advanced-popular readership of the Edinburgh Journal. That said Brewster does get technical, discussing the deep history of photography going back to Wedgewood and Davy, and Edmund Becquerel; also discussing the partnership (of sorts) between Daguerre and Niepce, and then gets into the tech aspects of the Daguerreotype and the Fox Talbot calotype. And MUCH else. In the long term there's a ton of interesting material in this very early review paper on the state of photography in 1843. Really.

Collates complete, [2 ll.] (binder's free endleaf and blank leaf) and [1 l.] (vellum blank leaf) front and back, *^4 - ****^4, A^4-Z^4, Aa^4-Gg^4, Hh^2: 1 l. (engraved title recto), 1 l. (additional title recto letterpress in red and black with engraved vignette), 6 pp. (Dedicatio to the Prince), 6 pp. (Praefatio), 7 pp. (Vita Phaedri by Johann Scheffer), 6 pp. (Judicia et Testimonia), 3 pp. (Inscriptiones), pp. [1]-152 (Fabula Phaedri Libri V), 153-160 (Appendix, fabula by Marquard Gude), 71 pp. (Index Omnium Vocabulorum), 13 pp. (Index), plus the Vaillant portrait inserted before the dedication and the 18 van Vianen plates inserted facing the respective text page designated on each plate.

A large paper copy (27.6 cm tall versus 25-26 cm typically) such as the Radziwill large-paper copy in blue morocco, 115 frs. mentioned at p. 413 in Lewine, Bibliography of Eighteenth Century Art and Illustrated Books (London, 1898), and the NYPL Spencer Collection copy ex-Henry Huth annotated on its blank front flyleaf, Large paper, from the library of Prince Gallitzin (pages 27.6 x 21.5 cm). The printing in the present copy, compared carefully with that of the Huth-Spencer copy, is superb. Just one indication, among many, is the engraving of the miniscule seascape in the van Vianen vignette on p. 152 at the end of Lib. V: the tiny fine lines of the ships, waves and clouds are incisively clear and unbroken. Provenance: Presentation inscription front free endpaper verso dated Westminster 1845 from (Headmaster) R[ichard] W[illiamson] to George Gillett; from the libraries of Robert Hoe, Cortlandt F. Bishop and Mary S. Collins, their bookplates on front pastedown.
