Description
19/05/1943. Taken from the personal scrapbook of Congressman A. Leonard Allen, who was there The first ticket to this epochal event we have seen, it is now being offered for sale for the first timeIn May 1943, Winston Churchill was in Washington for the Trident Conference, a strategic meeting of the Americans and British during which they discussed the invasion of Sicily, extent of military force, the date for invading Normandy (which would prove to be June 6, 1944, forever known as D-Day), and the progress of the war in the Pacific.Churchill also made his second speech to Congress on May 19. Churchill reminded them that ""the main burden of the war on land"" was still being borne by the Soviet Army on the Eastern Front. He added that the final triumph, in spite of the recent victory in Tunisia, would come only after battles as difficult and costly as those that had followed the pivotal Battle of Gettysburg in the American Civil War.Churchill stated, “We have not travelled all this way simply to concern themselves about improving the health and happiness of the Mikado of Japan. I thought it would be good that all concerned in this theatre should meet together and thrash out in friendly candor, heart to heart, all the points that arise; and there are many…This process will continue ceaselessly with ever-increasing weight and intensity until the German and Italian peoples abandon or destroy the monstrous tyrannies which they have incubated and reared in their midst…”The New York Times headlined the speech the next day: “Churchill Predicts Huge Allied Drive in 1943.”A. Leonard Allen was a congressman from Louisiana who represented his district from 1937-1953. This is a ticket to hear Churchill’s speech that was issued to Allen. The front of the ticket reads: “House of Representatives, Admit bearer to the Gallery of the House of Representatives, May 19, 1943”, and contains the printed signature of the Doorkeeper, Ralph R. Roberts The verso shows that Allen or his guest sat in Gallery 2, row C, seat 5. This was a much-coveted seat to see this historic event.This is the first time we have seen a ticket to view this great speech. It comes from Allen’s scrapbook and has never before been offered for sale.

Description
Paris: Arnold Sittart, 1584; [Heidelberg]: Peter Santandrea, 1583. 178 x 111 mm. (7 x 4 3/8"). 14 p.l., cccix pp., [13] leaves (last blank); lxxv, [10], ccxvi, [22] pp.; [2] leaves, 84 pp.; [1], 1-196, [18] pp.; 62 pp. Two works, in several parts, bound in one volume. With annotations and commentary by Antonio Augustin, Joseph Scaliger, and Fulvio Orsini. Pleasing contemporary calf, covers with central gilt wreath of olive branches, raised bands, spine panels gilt with cipher "D C G" at center flanked by a palmette and a vegetal trefoil, gilt titling, bottom panel with "OD" and "I8" on either side of the cipher. Printers' devices on the title pages, decorative woodcut initials and headpieces. Front pastedown with what appear to be early library shelf markings; one page with neat early marginalia. Adams V-590 and F-390. Covers slightly marked, spine with a bit of superficial crackling (and with one short crack in the middle of bottom panel), the text with faint browning and isolated minor soiling, a few leaves with long, shallow creases (not affecting legibility), otherwise in excellent condition, the binding solid and without significant wear, and the leaves generally clean, fresh, and smooth. This glossary of recondite Latin words and phrases was no doubt bound for a contemporary bibliophile with an extensive library. The "OD" and "I8" at the bottom of the spine appear to be the indication of a shelf location--not something frequently encountered on spines of this period. This designation and the location notation on the front pastedown that clearly relates to it ("Arm. 0. Tab 4. Loc. 18") suggest a library of some complexity and an educated owner who believed in careful organization. While we have not been able to identify "D C G," (s)he would seem also to have been a person of taste and good sense. The binding is attractively decorated while still being practical for scholarly use. The work itself has gone through a number of changes of fortune. The story begins when Verrius, who lived in the time of Augustus, compiled a valuable work, full of information on everything from grammar to mythology. Unfortunately, his text has been largely lost; the authentic fragments fill only the first few leaves of our volume. His work was epitomized by Festus, a ca. third century scholar, but Festus was not a very good epitomizer and, to make matters worse, all of his entries have been lost up to the letter "M." Luckily, an epitome of the epitome from "A" to "Z" had been made by Paul the Deacon in the eighth century. Valuing the handbook for its information on the writing of correct Latin, Renaissance scholars went to work on this puzzle in the 15th century, and a first version of Paul was published by Zarotus in Milan in 1471. Later scholars published Festus, and the great French classicist Joseph Scaliger (1540-1609) was largely responsible for bringing definitive order out of chaos. His scholarly edition reconstructs the work of Festus as far as one can, filling in the gaps caused by missing pages in the manuscript with conjectures and rectified material from Paul..
