Title: SENSE AND SENSIBILITY
Author: Austen, Jane; [Rébora, Sol]
Seller: Type Punch Matrix (United States)
Condition: Very good plus.
Description: Philadelphia: Carey & Lea, 1833. Very good plus.. First US edition of Austen's first novel - in a stunning fine art binding by the acclaimed Argentinian design bookbinder Sol Rébora. Austen's first novel uses the love stories of two sisters to explore the complexities and contradictions in the gendered expectations of the Regency era: a woman will be praised for her capacity to feel emotion (her sensibility), but not too much; a woman will be praised for her independent and responsible nature (her sense), but not too much. First published in late 1811 in three volumes, this is the first edition to appear in the United States, published in two volumes by Carey & Lea in an edition of only 1250 copies. Sol Rébora is an internationally recognized design bookbinder based in Buenos Aires. Her works embody a minimalistic elegance that is nevertheless subtly complex, as in the carefully structured multiple layers used here. They are not only visually stunning, but supremely tactile. From Rèbora's artist statement: "The cloth texture is achieved using silk with a patterned design that evokes the aesthetic of the time period in which the original edition was produced, creating a visual connection with antique paper. This design also appeals to the collective memory of how custom bindings from the early 19th century might have appeared, complete with deep-relief hot-stamping impressions." A magnificent, unique copy of an Austen first. Two 12mo volumes, 6.75'' x 4.25'' each. Modern full grey-pink design binding by Sol Rébora in Can Can structure with one layer of cotton cloth and two layers of Japanese paper, each element hand-painted with acrylics and textured with a patterned design impressed with deep-relief hot-stamping from silk; spines and boards stamped in dark grey. Cotton and abaca handmade paper grey-pink endpapers. 199, [1]; 189, [1] pages. Light pencil notation to fly leaf of Vol. I. Some offsetting marks to endpapers from earlier binding, archival paper repair to fly leaf; light browning to leaves, some staining. Solid.

Title: The Medal Presented by Tsar Alexander II to the American People in 1866, Commemorating the Freeing of the Slaves by Both People: “There by a sanguinary struggle, here by the path of peace""
Author: Moses Sherwood Stuyvesant
Seller: The Raab Collection (United States)
Description: 15/09/1866. Acquired from the direct descendants of the commander of the vessel that received the medal in Russia, it was not known to have survived, and has never before been offered for saleEmperor Alexander II issued the Emancipation Manifesto on March 3, 1861, which granted freedom to over 23 million serfs. This reform is known as the Emancipation Edict. The Emancipation Proclamation was issued by President Abraham Lincoln on January 1, 1863. It declared that all persons held as slaves within the rebellious Confederate states ""are, and henceforward shall be free."" The Union victory in the Civil War, finalized in 1865, ensured this would become the law of the land.Lincoln and Alexander had something else in common. Lincoln was assassinated in April 1865 by John Wilkes Booth in an act of political violence. The attempted assassination of Alexander II in 1866 was (a failed) act of political violence by Dmitry Karakozov, a young revolutionary. Karakozov's aim was to kill the Tsar and spark a revolution, believing the Emperor had betrayed the people's expectations after his emancipation of serfs in 1861. Another attempt around 20 years later would be successful.In 1866, President Andrew Johnson sent Assistant Secretary of the Navy Gustavus Vasa Fox, who had played a leading role in the expedition to relieve Fort Sumter in April 1861, on a mission to Russia, primarily to deliver a resolution from Congress congratulating Emperor Alexander II on his survival of the assassination attempt. The mission also aimed to gather information on European naval capabilities and explore potential trade opportunities, including the sale of the ironclad monitor USS Miantonomoh. The mission was a major event, marking a high point in Russian-American friendship, and was met with grand receptions in St. Petersburg and Moscow.In the process, Johnson sent the ironclad Miantonomoh itself on a world tour with the destination of Russia - first across the Atlantic and through the North Sea, the Baltic and then through the Mediterranean, in 1866 and 1867. The commander of this vessel was Moses Stuyvesant, graduate of the Naval Academy and hero of the Civil War. He had been on two sunk vessels, including one taken down by a Confederate Ironclad.But the mission had two messages: to congratulate Russia on the freeing of the serfs and the Tsar on surviving the assassination attempt. The resolution read: “JOINT RESOLUTION relative to the attempted assassination of the Emperor of Russia.“Be it resolved by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled, That the Congress of the United States of America has learned with deep regret of the attempt made upon the life of the Emperor of Russia by an enemy of emancipation. The Congress sends greeting to his Imperial Majesty, and to the Russian nation, and congratulates the twenty millions of serfs upon the providential escape from danger of the sovereign to whose head and heart they owe the blessings of their freedom.“Sec. 2. And be it further resolved, That the President of the United States be requested to forward a copy of this resolution to the Emperor of Russia.“Approved May 16, 1866.”In mid Summer, the Miantonomoh arrived in the harbor of Cronstadt on the 17th of August and the Tsar sent an address acknowledging the visit of Mr Fox. On Saturday September 15, the fleet went to push off from Russia. Mr. Fox left Petersburg after a farewell breakfast given on Russian yacht Rurik at which the Russian Lieutenant Greig presented the Americans with a symbol of their newly instituted freedoms from slavery in both countries: a medal struck in memory of the enfranchisement of the serfs in Russia. Grieg said, ""The friendship of the two nations... among the causes to which is due this mutual spirit, is the great event [emancipation] which has been accomplished almost simultaneously in the two countries - there by a sanguinary struggle, here by the path of peace."" He then presents the ""medal struck in memory of the enfranchisement of the peasants....He will see on it the likeness of our sovereign and the effigy of a nobleman and of peasant.""This is that very medal, given by the Russians to the Americans to commemorate the freedom of their former slaves, presented to the Americans, depicting the scene of Alexander II on one side as Grieg says, in a case, on the inside of which Stuyvesant, as commander of the expedition, has signed his name and dated it, September 15, 1866, the day of the presentation of the medal and Grieg's speech, and written, ""From the Emperor of Russia Alex III"" (instead of II). The bronze medal reads: ""FEBRUARY 19, 1861, Cut to N. Kozin from the model of count F. Tolstoy. Engraver: Nikolai Kozin"" It is not known how many were made. A small number have reached the market but none akin to this: with the important symbolism of a state gift congratulating a nation on emancipation.This was a gift of one slave-freeing nation to another, in the immediate aftermath of those actions. This medal was not known to have survived and comes from the direct descendants of Stuyvesant, who received it September 5, 1866.

The rear of the 1912 diary has ten pages of interesting entries in the memorandum section pertaining to parish work, helping young girls make flowers and cross-stiches for sale, etc. "[April 16, 1912]. White Star new boat Titanic was sunk after striking iceberg off Newfoundland early morning of 15th April 1000 lives lost. Survivors coming here on Carpathia. "April 19 [1912]. Carpathia in last night with less than 800 survivors. Senate Investigation Committee begins probe into cause of accident. Sinking of Titanic greatest disaster of modern times…" Babbitt and Hyde Families Benjamin Talbot Babbitt (1809-1889) was a self-made American businessman and inventor who amassed a fortune in the soap industry, manufacturing Babbitt's Best Soap. He was born in 1809 in Westmoreland, Oneida Co., New York, the son of blacksmith Nathaniel Babbitt (1769-1855) and Betsey Holman (1768-). In 1851, he became the first to manufacture and market soap in individual bars, which he packaged attractively and added a claim of quality. He took the ordinary and proved it could be turned into a marketable product. Babbitt invented most of the machinery he used in his production plants. He owned extensive ironworks and machine shops in Whitesboro, New York. He held more than 100 patents. Babbitt became known as a genius of advertising. He rivaled his friend P. T. Barnum in originality and success, becoming a household name throughout the U.S. His soap was one of the first nationally advertised products. The soap was sold from brightly painted street cars with musicians, which helped lead to the iconic phrase: "get on the bandwagon." Babbitt was the first manufacturer to offer tours of his factories and one of the first to give away free samples. Babbitt died October 20, 1889, and was buried in Woodlawn Cemetery, Bronx, New York. He was survived by his wife, Rebecca McDuffie Babbitt (1820 - 1894) and his two daughters, Ida Babbitt Hyde (1845-1896) and Lillia Babbitt Hyde (1856–1939), to whom he left one half of his $5,000,000 estate as well as the controlling interest in his company. Lillia Babbitt Hyde established The Lillia Babbitt Hyde Foundation in 1924 and served as its president until her death in 1939. The bulk of her estate was left to the Foundation, raising the value of its assets as of June 1941, to approximately $3,200,000. Lillia Babbitt Hyde married Clarence Melville Hyde (1846-1908), the brother of Dr. Frederick E. Hyde, who married Lillia's sister Ida Josephine Babbitt Hyde. Ida Josephine Babbitt Hyde married Dr. Frederick E. Hyde on 27 March 1869. The Hyde brothers were the sons of Edwin Hyde of Groton, Connecticut and Elizabeth Alvina Mead. The Hyde family was the direct descendant of Sgt. James Hyde, Jr. (1753-1809), of Norwich, Connecticut, who served with the 4th Regt. Connecticut Line in the American Revolution and was at Germantown, Valley Forge, Monmouth, Stony Point, and Yorktown. Dr. Hyde was born in New York City on 25 February 1844. Together Ida and her husband Frederick had at least four children: Elizabeth Alvina Hyde (1870-); Benjamin Talbot Babbitt Hyde (1872-1933) who married Edith Moore, daughter of James Moore of New York City in 1910; Frederick Hyde, Jr. (1874-); and Ida Josephine Hyde (1877-) who married William Lord Sexton; and Mabel Hyde (1882-). The Hyde's educated their sons at St. Paul's Military School on Long Island. When the Hyde's were first married the couple set up home in Ida Babbitt's parent's house on 36th Street in Manhattan in a fashionable neighborhood, and Hyde, at the insistence of Mrs. Babbitt, had a medical practice for only the "best families" in New York City. The Hyde family also kept a country place, "Quaker Ridge Farm," in North Greenwich, Connecticut. By 1900, the Hyde's moved uptown to West 69th Street, where they kept a large house with nine servants (housekeeper, cook, maid, parlor maid, chamber maid, waitress, laundress, lady's maid, and a general servant). In 1889 Benjamin Babbitt died leaving a great inheritance that was split between his wife and two daughters. However, his daughter Ida died six months later and her share of his estate (in the millions) went to her husband and two sons. After the death of his wife Ida, Dr. Frederick E. Hyde, retired from practicing medicine and spent a good deal of time traveling and pursuing his hobbies and philanthropic pursuits. There is a fjord in Greenland named Frederick E. Hyde Fjord. The fjord is located on a peninsula known as Peary Land. Frederick E. Hyde Fjord divides Peary Land into North Peary Land and South Peary Land. Robert E. Peary had been the first to reach the North Pole and the northernmost part of Greenland is called Peary Land. In a book written by Robert Peary entitled, Nearest the Pole: A Narrative of the Polar Expedition of the Peary Arctic Club in the S. S. Roosevelt, 1905 -1906, on page 329, we learn that Peary's Expedition of 1898-1902 was made under the auspices of, and with funds furnished by, the Peary Arctic Club of New York City, of which Frederick E. Hyde was a member and supporter. The book includes a chapter on the Peary Arctic Club. Frederick E. Hyde was one of the founding members and was elected as its first vice president. Dr. Frederick Erastus Hyde and his sons, Benjamin Talbot Babbitt Hyde and Frederick Erastus Hyde, Jr., were members of several scientific institutions. Dr. Hyde was member and benefactor of the Linnaean Society, the American Museum of Natural History and the American Association for the Advancement of Science, among others. Frederick Jr. and his brother, Benjamin were also members of some of the same organizations as their father. They also financed explorations in the American Southwest between 1893 and 1907. Dr. Hyde's sons founded the Hyde Exploring Expedition which helped to fund the work of Richard Wetherill (1858–1910) from about 1893 to 1903. Wetherill was a member of a prominent Colorado ranching family, and was an amateur explorer in the discovery, research and excavation of sites associated with the Ancient Pueblo People. Wetherill is credited with the discovery of Cliff Palace in Mesa Verde and was responsible for initially selecting the term Anasazi, Navajo for ancient enemies, as the name for these ancient people. He also discovered Kiet Seel ruin, now included, along with Betatakin ruin, in Navajo National Monument in northeastern Arizona. "Slightly smaller than Cliff Palace, Kiet Seel possesses qualities that, in the eyes of some, lend it greater charm and interest." Wetherill became fascinated by the ruins and artifacts and made a career as an explorer, guide, excavator and trading post operator. Predating this collection of diaries, Dr. Hyde and his sons went on a world tour in 1892 and spent 70 days on horseback in Palestine and the Saini. Dr. Hyde died at the age of 92 on 16 September 1936 at his summer home in East Hampton, L.I. Sample Quotes from the Diaries: "December 9, 1896 …Arrival Port Said about 8 p.m. anchored in canal.

"San F to Sta Barbara April 3, 1915 Left San F on 7:45 a.m. train of Southern Pacific RR, 3d & Townsend Sts., lovely morning. E & M took breakfast at the Fairmont Hotel. I took my breakfast on the train, came via San Joe 47 miles. In 1867 this stretch of RR was the only RR in the state. The train follows valley floors & some elevations till we reach Sta Margarita where the rise is quite high & we pass through 6 tunnels. IN the gaps between tunnels we look down abruptly into deep valleys all green grass covered & with a wagons road winding up & down the steep sides of the valley. The original only means of the North & South communications previous to the RR & probably the road that I went over in a stage coach from Los Angeles to San Joe in 1867. From San Louis Obispo we run to the ocean side & follow close to the brink for several miles looking down on the waves rolling up the beaches. Arr Sta B 7:40 p.m. another bus took us…" "Santa Barbara April 5, 1915 …Afternoon we took trolley to the old mission of Sta Barbara. Saw it in 1867, & in 1901.

Seller: David M. Lesser, Fine Antiquarian Books LLC (United States)
Description: [Washington: Buell & Blanchard, 1856. 7, [1 blank] pp. Disbound, clean, Very Good. Blair's Letter is a significant step in the Democratic Party's split into Northern and Southern branches. Writing from his Maryland home at Silver Spring in December 1855, the venerable stalwart of President Jackson's Kitchen Cabinet denounces his Democratic Party and casts his lot with Republicans, who oppose extending slavery into the Territories. Slavery's expansion will cause "destruction of the Confederacy, on which the welfare of the whole country reposes. Every surrender of the Free States invites invasion." Blair cites the Founding Fathers' decisions to exclude slavery from the Northwest Territory, to grant Congress power to regulate Territorial matters, and to prohibit the international slave trade. The Democratic Party, which now repudiates the Founders' intentions, has "staked itself on the support of the party of privilege-- of class interest." LCP 1252. Not in Eberstadt, Decker, Dary, Work, Dumond.

In 1748 he was appointed a master at the Carolinum in Brunswick, receiving the title of professor in 1761. As a student Zachariä was an adherent of Gottsched and, as such, wrote his first and principal work, the verse satire Der Renommiste (1744, repr. 1909). He soon after transferred his allegiance to the Bremer Beiträger. His later works include Das Schnupftuch (1754, a satire on the nobility) and Murner in der Hölle, a comic poem in 5 books, dealing with cats (1757). He also wrote short poems and translated Milton's Paradise Lost into German hexameters (2 vols., 1760). A serious epic poem on Hernando Cortés remained unfinished (Cortes, vol. 1, 1766). His contribution to the comic epic is the most notable aspect of his work.
