Condition: Sehr gut. Einband berieben. Ecken bestossen, sonst gutes Exemplar. - Auktionskatalog mit 1847 Nummern. Le 26 novembre 1956 s'éteignait à Arnhem, le docteur J. C. L. M. Stuyt, eminent chirurgien hollandais à qui ses goûts de collectionneur, au cours d'une longue carrière d'inlassable labeur et de profonde philantropie…au service de la médecine, avaient donné pour "violon d'Ingres" l'Histoire de France du XVIe au début du XIXe siècle. Aux livres rares d'époque, aux libelles et placards, aux autographes enfin, qu'il a réunis avec une patience guidée par un sens historique inné, il a dû une connaissance de plus en plus sérieuse des problèmes qu'il avait abordés en amateur. Il en fit l'objet de conférences à ses compatriotes et put organiser une exposition de ses trésors en 1950 ("l'Histoire de France de 1500 à 1830") dans la célèbre Hallc-aux-blés prêtée par la municipalité de sa ville a"Arnhem. Devenue une manifestation d'amitiéfirancohollandaise, cette exposition où se remarquaient notamment une rare série de MAZARINADES et un ensemble particulièrement important de documents sur la Révolution et l'Empire, méritait au Dr. Stuyt la croix de chevalier de la Légion d'honneur. Sprache: Deutsch Gewicht in Gramm: 550 IV, 200 S. plus Tafeln. Mit zahlr. Abb., broschiert.

Matted and framed with three images of items from the Forbes Magazine Collection of Faberge, with presentation slips from the publisher presenting the recipient William J.P. Smith III of Data General…Corporation with a complimentary subscription to Forbes. This was purchased directly from Bill Smith, who worked as an advertising representative, and explained that he received this invitation as a result of his professional relationship with Forbes Magazine. Dated May 4, 1979, the full text of the letter reads: "Dear Bill: A selection of Faberge objects from the FORBES Magazine Collection is currently on loan to the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston. The exhibition marks the first public showing in this country of Faberge's masterpieces, the Coronation Egg and the Lilies of the Valley Egg, which have just been added to the collection. To help us celebrate this exciting event, I am writing in the hope that you and Ann will be able to join Jim Dunn, Kip Forbes, Steve Nicoll, Arnold Prives and me for dinner and a private viewing of the exhibition on Wednesday, May 23rd. Cocktails and the viewing will begin at 6:00 P.M. Dinner will be served in the Asian Galleries at 7:30 P.M. Enter the museum at the Huntington Avenue entrance. Supervised parking will be available in the museum lot on Museum Road. Yours sincerely, Malcolm S. Forbes." The second letter reads: "Dear Bill: Thank you so much for that fascinating data, and we'll probably be making reference to it in FORBES. It was a pleasure to see you at the Faberge show in Boston - the only greater joy would be in seeing you put the advertising pages of FORBES to work on occasion for Data General! Cordially, Malcolm S. Forbes. Signed by author.

Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. 1st Edition. The Horrid Popish Plots Sammelband of four SCARCE to RARE pamphlets on the fabricated conspiracy, invented by Titus Oates and spread by Protestant activists, that the Pope and Catholics aimed to assassinate the Protestant King Charles II, burn London and Great Britain to the ground,…"enslave" the English people to the falsehoods of Catholicism and to cause harm to the people of England and Scotland. IMPORTANCE & HISTORICAL SIGNIFICANCE Published between 1679-1681 at the height of anti-Catholic fervor in England. One compelling point of propaganda used to fan the flames was blaming the infamous and tragic London Fire of 1666 on papist arsonists. ***Several of these works have only come to auction a handful of times in the past 50-100 years. Quite rare collection indeed as most of these pamphlets were discarded after circulation. OVERALL CONDITION: VERY GOOD & Textually complete. First work lacking frontispiece else complete. ABOUT THE COLLECTION OF PAMPHLETS The four rare pamphlets are bound together in a fine full leather modern binding: double filet gilt paneling: four gilt-bordered raised spine bands and a gilt-lettered red morocco spine label: thick, high-quality endpapers. Slim, small folio: 12" x 8". WORK 1: 1679, A Narrative and Impartial Discovery of the Horrid Popish Plot: Burning and Destroying London and Westminster by Captain William Bedloe. Published in London by Robert Boulter, John Hancock, Ralph Smith, and Benjamin Harris. Collated: [12], 27, [1] pp. Lacking frontispiece, textually complete.

Collated and complete: 23, [1] pp. NOTE: Among other insidious plots, the author (Robert Barton) states that the Pope and his conspirators were plotting to assassinate every Protestant Head of State by stabbing or poison. WORK 4: 1681, A Collection of the substance of several Speeches and Debates made in the honourable House of Commons, relating to the Horrid Popish Plot, upon occasion of the bill for disabling James Duke of York from inheriting the imperial crown of this realm. Published in London by Francis Smith. Collated and complete: 20 pp. ABOUT THE HORRID POPISH PLOTS The Horrid Popish Plot was a fabricated conspiracy claimed by the English priest Titus Oates in 1678 to have been orchestrated by Roman Catholics to assassinate King Charles II and restore Catholicism in England (and other Protestant ruling countries). Despite being a fiction, it triggered widespread anti-Catholic hysteria, leading to the execution of more than twenty innocent Catholics between 1678 and 1681 and a real political crisis in England. CONDITION REPORT VERY GOOD+ Exterior and binding: FINE. Square spine, firm hinges and joints, tight pages. Some minor rubbing. Interior: VERY GOOD. Some light marking and wear on the endpapers. Most of the pages are clean and bright and vary between bright white to lightly toned with one or two darker toned pages.

Folding hand-colored engraved map (sheet: 17 9/16" x 33 9 1/6", 447mm x 853mm; neatline: 16 1/4" x 31 1/4", 413mm x 793mm). With some peripheral chips and repaired splits at the folds. The Hempfield Railroad is a type of railroad that is emblematic of mid-XIXc American railroading: the bridge line. Bridge lines were constructed across the country to connect two rival railroads (in this case, the massive Pennsylvania RR and smaller western lines in Ohio), which might refuse to connect their own lines with each other. Many of these lines were miniscule and are now long-abandoned, but the Hempfield Railroad's story is different. Unlike many other small railroads, which had issues recruiting talent in engineering, the Hempfield's chief engineer was Charles Ellet Jr. (1810-1862), a prolific civil engineer who later led the first federal survey of the Mississippi and Ohio Rivers. One of the marvels he constructed was the still-standing Wheeling Suspension Bridge in West Virginia, the western terminus of the Hempfield Railroad. While they were the first to open across the northern WV panhandle, they were not the only line: by 1871, they were a part of the much larger Baltimore & Ohio Railroad, and most of the line is now abandoned in favor of faster (and hillier) routes via Pittsburgh. The first pamphlet describes the railroad's route and why it should be built, the second is a transcript of the legal document allowing for construction of the line, and the third records a hearing with the finance committee of the Philadelphia City Council with the president of the line. The map (spanning Ontario in the north, Nashville in the south and the Mississippi River in the west) which is sometimes circulated with the first pamphlet, shows the Hempfield's relatively small footprint, but promises that "within the next three years, all those important lines of communication will be open for trade and travel," a promise that was largely fulfilled.Catalogued by Jonah Kramer.

Condition: Very good. Various sizes (8vo., 4to. and folio). Some apart some inherent browning on account of the wartime paper supply. All original wrappers present when so issued (some chips to wrappers - see below). Preserved in a red cloth folding case (commissioned by Martin Breslauer?). IMPORTANT COLLECTION OF 23 WORKS, EXTR…ACTS, OFFPRINTS AND PAMPHLETS WRITTEN BY ERNST KYRISS (1881-1974), THE FOREMOST HISTORIAN OF GOTHIC BOOKBINDINGS, FROM THE COLLECTION OF B.H. BRESLAUER, HIMSELF A GREAT BINDINGS HISTORIAN AND AN EVEN GREATER COLLECTOR. Our collection includes THE FIRST publication by Kryss on the history of bookbinding (1929/30) as well as an INSCRIBED copy of his doctoral thesis (incredibly this title is not listed in Worldcat). Many of these early offprints and pamphlets simply do not appear on the market; if found, they are almost always in substandard condition, unlike the works in our collection which in general are preserved in excellent state. Originally trained as an engineer, Kyriss "retired for health reasons" in 1924 (we were informed by B.H. Breslauer that Kyriss married a wealthy woman and quit his job). From 1924-1928 Kyriss studied art history in Munich where he first encountered incunabula. He soon realized that the history of German Gothic bookbindings had not been methodically studied. His first publication on bindings was published in 1929/1930; this was followed by no less than 180 articles, pamphlets and monographs, including his magnum opus, the 4-volume "Verzierte gotische Einbande im alten deutschen Sprachgebiet" (1951-1958). In this extraordinary work, Kyriss differentiated "only" 186 workshops, of which he had recorded 7,088 different tools, but for publishing reasons, however, he only depicted "only" 1,711 individual stamps and rolls, most of which were South German. Indeed, Kyriss obsessively studied gothic bindings for more than four decades, during which time he visited more than 90 libraries and archives in more than 50 cities (including Crakow, Olomuch and Prague). In his long career he examined and approximately 50,000 Gothic and Renaissance bindings; incredibly he made detailed notes and rubbings on most of them. Only a fraction of his work has been published: today the Kyriss Papers (which we have seen) are preserved in the Württembergische Landesbibliothek Stuttgart and contain more 20,000 leaves of rubbings. While his interest in the history of bookbindings was wide ranging, he focused largely on gothic bindings of Southern Germany. To a very large extent, the Sammlung Kyriss forms the main component of the epic online Einbanddatenbank (EBDB) project, along with the Sammlung Wolfenbuttel, BSB Munich, SB Berlin (including the Sammlung Paul Schwenke).

Contact seller4-star sellerHardcover. Condition: Very good overall. A sammelband of pamphlets on gynecological & obstetric subjects dating from 1856 to 1886. The compiler was Dr. Robert Barnes (1817-1907) who was a well known obstetric physician. During his career he lectured on midwifery at three of the great London medical schools, London Hospital, St.…Thomas' Hospital and St. George's Hospital. There is a presentation inscription on the pamphlet by Lazarewitch ("To Doctor Robert Barnes.") and a presentation tag at the foot of p. 295 of the Johnstone article, 'The Menstrual Organ', extracted from the journal of the British Gynoecological Society ("From Spottiswoode & co., New-Street Square, London, E.C. For Dr. F. Barnes"). "A leading teacher and gynaecologist in London, Barnes was a rival of James Matthews Duncan both in debates at the Obstetrical Society and in practice. One of the first to work at the minute pathology of obstetrics, he influenced the progress of obstetric medicine. His name has been attached to an obstetric instrument and a curve of the pelvis." "Barnes took a prominent part of the founding of the Obstetrical Society of London in 1858 and was president in 1865-6. But a dispute with the council of this society led him in 1884 to establish the British Gynaecological Society, of which he was honorary president until his death. The Justification of the schism was the antagonism of the old society to the performance of ovariotomy and other important operations by obstetricians. Barnes was one of the pioneers of operative gynaecology, and the cause he advocated gained the day." (D.N.B.) Articles include: THOMAS (T. Gaillard, MD) Vulvar and Vaginal Enterocele. 12mo, 24 pp, 4 ills in text.

(Cullingworth (1841-1908) was at this time Clinical Lecturer on the Diseases of Women at the Owens College, Manchester. In 1888 he moved to St. Thomas's Hospital, London. "Cullingworth was a great pioneer of gynaecology. He did his best professional work on the causation of pelvic peritonitis, which he was one of the first in England to maintain was secondary to other conditions, and not a primary disease." D.N.B.)

Condition: Fair. All in original wrappers, conditions vary from fair to very good (some wrappers chipped and worn; some textblocks browned and brittle on account of the WWI paper supply). One pamphlet is ex-Harvard (duplicate) with associated markings, another is a presentation copy. Small collection of 8 French pamphlets celebr…ating the patron saint of France, Jeanne d'Arc (1412-1431). Reflects the continued fascination and scholarly interest with this remarkable young woman, her courage and her leadership, and how inspiring she has continued to be, even after nearly 600 years. The most interesting pamphlet in the collection -- in our opinion -- is Henri Debout's "Jeanne d'Arc et les archives anglaises" (1894) in which the author examines documents preserved in early English manuscripts that had been unexplored by French scholars. None of the pamphlets are in the Boston Public Library which holds the largest Joan of Arc collection in America. From the Dorothy Sloan Collection.
