Description
New York: Published by Whiting & Watson. Composed and printed by Fanshaw and Clayton. Stereotyped by D. & G. Bruce, 1815. First edition. 24 cm. [6], 41, 112 pp. Contemporary leather spine (cracked and worn) and marble boards, leather spine label. Joints cracked, strengthened with cloth straps over spine attached to boards. Ex-lib. Rosenbach 175. Goldman, Y. Hebrew printing in America, 1735-1926, 5. Not in Singerman. Early use of stereotype plates. Rosenbach considers this to be a prospectus for a work to be completed in sixteen numbers. The first complete Hebrew Bible was done in America in 1814 which may have caused a lack of subscription to this one, at any rate this is all that was printed. Additionally, the editors acknowledge in their introductory note "[t]he friendly and valuable aid which the editors have received from C.C. Moore, Esq....To whatever accuracy and merit their edition may lay claim, the labours of this gentleman largely contribute." [C.C. Moore, who was also a Hebrew scholar, is not however given any credit for authorship or editorship for this work by BAL]. Bookplate on the pastedown of the Andover Theological Institution [withdrawn]. "A small group of faculty members broke away from Harvard amidst a theological dispute to form Andover Theological Seminary in 1807. Its primary purpose was to educate Congregational ministers. At its founding, it was the first graduate school of any kind in North America. It served as the model for postgraduate theological education for generations." [see: the Andover Newton Seminary at Yale Divinity School into which it evolved]. Most recent auction record was Sotheby's in 2019 where it brought $5,250.

Boston: R. H. Hinckley Company, [ca. 1900]. Edmonton Edition. No. 56 OF 100 COPIES on Japanese vellum. 240 x 150 mm. (9 3/8 x 5 7/8"). 12 volumes.. HANDSOME DARK PURPLE CRUSHED MOROCCO, GILT, triple gilt-ruled border with sprays of flowers in each corner and along the sides, raised bands, compartments with gilt lettering and tooling, top edge gilt, RED MOROCCO DOUBLURES bordered in purple border, featuring several gilt rules and scrolling gilt tools in panel corners, red watered silk endpapers. With portrait frontispieces and numerous gravure plates. Limitation statement of first volume with the initials of the printer, D. B. Updike of the Merrymount Press; flyleaf of each volume with morocco ex-libris of Francis Kettaneh. Extremities with the occasional tiny nick, spines slightly sunned, covers with a few negligible scratches, a few pages with light thumbing in the margins, but all of these blemishes trivial. A FINE SET INSIDE AND OUT. This finely bound, finely printed, and strictly limited set includes the biography, prose, letters, essays, and poetry of "the prince of English essayists." According to Day, Charles Lamb contributed to the essay form by concentrating on feeling (rather than thought), by projecting a fuller sense of self into the work, and by imbuing his text with a poetic or lyrical quality. Lamb was also an accomplished poet, writing in both rhyming and blank verse, as well as a friend to many of the leading literary figures of the Romantic period--his correspondents include Wordsworth, Southey, Hazlitt, and Coleridge, whom he had known since childhood. Lamb's letters, by turns witty and meditative, reveal a life of intense reading and writing at a time when British literature was undergoing a radical transformation. Charles Lamb (1775-1834) was educated at Christ's Hospital and at 17 joined the East India House, where he worked from 1792-1825. In 1796, Lamb's sister Mary stabbed and killed their mother with scissors in a fit of insanity. Charles took on her care as well as serving as sole support for a dying aunt and a prematurely senile father. Nonetheless, Lamb and his sister were devoted to one another and lived long and productive lives, publishing together the wildly popular "Tales from Shakespeare" (1807) and "Mrs. Leicester's School" (1809), both of which are included here. Though unsigned, the bindings are extremely attractive and fittingly luxurious for the limited-edition contents--the thick gilt tooling, luxurious doublures, and red silk endpapers housing tactilely pleasing Japanese vellum make this set a delight both to have and to hold..

Description
[New York]: The Limited Editions Club, 1986 Translated by Paul Schmidt. With eight Photogravures by Robert Mapplethorpe. Limited edition. One of 1,000 numbered copies signed by Schmidt and Mapplethorpe, this being number 885. Publisher's full red morocco binding, with titles in blind to front board and spine, and mould-made letterpress sheets for text; housed in publisher's black cloth slipcase. Fine book; near fine slipcase, with light soiling to cloth. With original Limited Editions Club prospectus laid in. Overall, a magnificent copy. A Season in Hell is French poet Arthur Rimbaud's (1854-1891) final major work, written in 1873 when he was only 18 years old. The poem - an experimental piece that draws on Rimbaud's childhood and invokes biblical imagery - was heavily influenced by his tumultuous relationship with fellow poet Paul Verlaine, which culminated in Verlaine shooting and wounding Rimbaud in July of 1873. Verlaine served a two-year sentence for the crime. Rimbaud originally conceived the work as a "pagan book" with "half a dozen horror stories." In translator Paul Schmidt's introduction, he writes that A Season in Hell "is a work of adolescent passion - not the passion of exuberance, but passion as suffering. It is the record of a failed attempt to create a new identity by creating a new world." A few years after Rimbaud completed A Season in Hell, he abandoned writing poetry completely and spent the final 18 or so years of his life traveling throughout Europe and Africa and working as a merchant. This edition is evocatively illustrated with photos by American photographer and counterculture icon Robert Mapplethorpe (1946 - 1989). From the Limited Editions Club prospectus: "The eight images in this livre d'artiste do not so much illustrate Rimbaud's poem as they evoke the mystical, nocturnal melancholy that characterizes the work. Mapplethorpe's images provoke an emotionally layered response in harmony with the text.". Signed. Limited Edition. Hard Cover. Fine.

Description
New York: Balzer + Bray, 2021. Large Hardcover. Fine/Fine. 10x0x11. Wise, Loveis. New. A fine copy in a fine jacket. 2021 Large Hardcover. Unpaginated. From award-winning, New York Times bestselling author Ibi Zoboi comes her debut picture book - a tour de force that uses the principles of Kwanzaa to talk about the history of African Americans. This lyrical, powerful tribute is sumptuously illustrated by New Yorker artist and rising star Loveis Wise. A beautiful gift for readers of all ages and for fans of Kadir Nelson's Heart and Soul. A Coretta Scott King Honor Book! The People Remember tells the journey of African descendants in America by connecting their history to the seven principles of Kwanzaa. It begins in Africa, where people were taken from their homes and families. They spoke different languages and had different customs. Yet they were bound and chained together and forced onto ships sailing into an unknown future. Ultimately, all these people had to learn one common language and create a culture that combined their memories of home with new traditions that enabled them to thrive in this new land. Sumptuously illustrated, this is an important book to read as a family - a story young readers can visit over and over again to deepen their understanding of African American history in relation to their own lives and current social justice movements. By turns powerful and revealing, this is a lyrical narrative that tells the story of survival, as well as the many moments of joy, celebration, and innovation of Black people in America.
