Condition: Very Good
Description: ELEGANT MANUSCRIPT CONTAINING TWO WORKS OF SPIRITUAL AND MORAL EDIFICATION IN FRENCH TRANSLATION. Illuminated manuscript on parchment, in French, France, after 1482, c. 1490. Dimensions 274 x 175 mm. 70 folios, written in a Gothic bâtarde bookhand, 18 large initials parti-colored in red and/or blue, inserted leaf in first quire with FULL-PAGE HERALDIC COMPOSITION IN GOLD, SILVER, RED, BLUE AND BLACK. BINDING: Bound in modern nineteenth-century blue velvet over wooden boards, pink paper pastedowns and endleaves, edges gilt. TEXT: Manuscript contains two works that reflect the spirituality of fifteenth-century Carthusians and their quest for the contemplative life. The first text, Sept fruits de la tribulation, is known in only five extant manuscript and is still unedited. A free French version, probably dating from the fifteenth century, of either the longer Latin Tractatus de tribulacione, or an abridged adaptation of the French Livre de tribulacion. The second text, Miroir d'or de l'ame pecheresse, is a work of spiritual edification which consists of seven sections: on human misery, sin (especially lechery), penance, rejection of the world, the vanity of human wishes, death and hell and heaven. There is neither a modern critical edition of the second text, nor a complete census of the existing manuscripts; the copy here was apparently made from an incunable edition of c. 1490. This manuscript begins with a remarkable added full-page illuminated frontispiece with the coat of arms and motto of Louis de Grolée (fl. late fifteenth-early sixteenth century), the abbot of Bonnevaux and Saint-Pierre de Vienne. PROVENANCE: Copied in France (perhaps northeastern?) based on script and linguistic characteristics, as well as internal evidence. It belonged to Louis de Grolée (fl. late fifteenth-early sixteenth century). It then belonged Charles Chardin, bibliophile. It was later a part of the collection of Sir Thomas Phillipps, (1792-1872), who has been described as the greatest private manuscript collector of all time. CONDITION: Gold slightly rubbed, some off-setting from heraldic painted composition to opening text page, slight staining in upper margin and into three lines of text ff. 68-69. Overall good condition. Full description and pictures available. (TM 466)

Title: Future President William McKinley Urges High-Tariff Advocate the American Protective Tariff League to Keep Active and Vigilant in the Cause
Author: William McKinley
Seller: The Raab Collection (United States)
Description: 07/12/1892. Starting in the Civil War, protection was the ideological cement holding the Republican coalition together. High tariffs were used to promise higher sales to business, higher wages to industrial workers, and higher demand for their crops to farmers. Democrats said it was a tax on the little man. Bliss was a successful wholesale merchant and Republican Party operative, and was a founder and first president of the American Protective Tariff League, which was campaigning to convince the American voter of the advantages of a protective tariff to labor and the industries of the United States. McKinley would run for president on a high tariff platform a few years later. Bliss declined to run as McKinley’s vice president in 1900 but had served in his cabinet as Secretary of the Interior until 1899.In this letter, McKinley writes his future Secretary of the Interior Cornelius Bliss concerning the American Protective Tariff League. Typed Letter Signed “W. McKinley, Jr.” December 7, 1892, to prominent Republican politician Cornelius Bliss. “I am very glad to learn that the Tariff League is to continue its work. It has been of great service in the past and it has greater opportunities for the future; and its cooperation was never so much needed as now. Do not relax in a single particular. The cause is worthy of your best efforts, and the approval of the people is sure to come.” McKinley added the “Jr.” to his signature all his life until the death of his father in a few weeks before this letter. Apparently he stopped using it either shortly after this or may he have signed it this way out of habit so soon after his father’s death.
