Description
1805. First Edition. STORY, Joseph. A Selection of Pleadings in Civil Actions, Subsequent to the Declaration. Salem: Barnard B. Macanulty, 1805. Octavo, period-style full marbled calf, raised bands, original red morocco spine label laid down. $3000.First edition of the first published book by ""the most commanding legal figure of his age"" (Hall, 841), handsomely bound.""The appearance of this volume was opportune and serviceable to the Profession in this country, who had hitherto been obliged to resort to the voluminous books of English Entries for Precedents. The notes and references show that the author had made no ordinary attainments in the science of special Pleading, at the early age [of 26] in which his first attempt at legal authorship was published"" (Marvin, 668). Six years later Story was appointed to a Supreme Court still very much in its formative stages. He served with distinction for 34 years and was a defining influence on the early Court. With six-page publisher's catalogue of law books bound in at rear. Sowerby, Catalogue of the Library of Thomas Jefferson 2156. HLC II:674. NYU 312. Last few leaves of Index and advertisements dampstained at lower corner, text generally quite clean, period-style binding fine and handsome.

Description
Paris: Firmin-Didot, 1875. First Edition. Hardcover. Very good. Large 8vo. ix, [3], 145 pp. Bound in contemporary French half calf over comb-marbled boards, comb-marbled endpapers, sprinkled edges (minor wear along extremities; lower left corner of front cover a little scraped). ¶ Presentation copy from the author to M. Anatole Gruger ("hommage cordial de l'auteur"). This is the catalogue of the Musee du Conservatoire National de Musique, which describes an extraordinary array of musical instruments, including Paganini instruments, and is at the same time a small encyclopedia, engaging and instructive. ¶ Gustave Chouquet (1819-1886) was born in The Hague into a life of music and music criticism. In 1864, the Academy of Fine Arts awarded him the Bordin Prize for a history of music from the fourteenth century until the end of the seventeenth. In 1868, he won another award on a history of dramatic music in France from its origins. In 1870 he received the Cross of the Legion of Honor. In 1871, Chouquet was appointed curator of the Musical Instruments Conservatory. Thanks to his enthusiasm, tact, and ingenuity, he managed - despite the limited space and limited budgetary resources - to create a museum of surprising quality and comprehensiveness: by 1875 it numbered nearly eleven hundred pieces, a remarkable achievement then, as now.
