Description
Modern half leather folding box.. Very good; not bound. 4to (sheet size 10 x 11 inches), individual fascicles comprising appx. 1240 pages of closely written text (in a clear hand) that are illustrated with appx. 40 individual ink drawings and a hand drawn map. The text is in French. Apparently not published in any form. A manuscript kept by lieutenant E J Cordes in the French Navy on board the Corréze and the Javeline (gun boats) supervising the waterways of Cochinchina (mainly Cambodia and Vietnam) during two years of service from 1879 to 1881. There are approximately 40 pen & ink drawings illustrating the text (several full-page), most notably a series of sketches of temples, pavilions and statues at Angkor Wat and Angkor Thom. The manuscript is prefaced by a detailed 4-page autograph letter dated 21 June 1884, signed by Cordes to a prospective publisher which outlines the contents of the manuscript, the form of publication he envisages, even outlining the number of volumes he foresees in the finished work. Indeed, this manuscript does appear to have been once in an editor's hands, albeit briefly - a number of early leaves are blue-lined and contain some editorial remarks, amendments, and redactions, but these occur in only the first 100 pages or so. One must assume that the project was deemed too costly to produce, and indeed I have found no evidence of any part of it having been published.The manuscript includes a detailed, but confusing, table of contents consisting of a "descriptive correspondence" and an "intimate correspondence" which makes the collation of the two somewhat confusing in early parts where an editor's hand has been at play. The manuscript has been arranged in "cahiers" (i.e. fascicles) numbered 1-287, all of which are present. Due to some marginal creasing and tears, and Cordes' penchant for writing into the margins, a number of words have obviously been lost but in most all respects the sense remains clear.The basic itinerary has Cordes leaving from Toulon on 20 January 1879, aboard the Corrèze, and ends at Châu Dôc, in the Mekong Delta more than two years later, on 28 February, 1881. The voyage out takes him through the Mediterranean Sea via Isle d'Hyères, Corsica, and Sardinia to Egypt, Port Said, the Suez Canal in the Red Sea, then from Aden to Ceylon, through the Straits of Malacca to Singapore and Sumatra. The voyage out occupies approximately 80 pages; the balance is concentrated on Cambodia and Vietnam: i.e.: Saigon, Mytho, Dinh, Bien Hoa, Gocoug, Chau-Doc, Vinh-Long, Sa-Dec, Long-Xuyen, Can-Tho, Tay Ninh, Phnom Penh, Tra-Vinh, Co-Chien, Siem Reap, Grand Vaico, Cai Lai, Tra Vinh, My-Tho, Long-Phu, Angkor, Ban-Tre, Phnom-Baké and others, with much time spent, obviously, on the rivers and waterways of the region, including the Mekong and the Tonlé Sap. Based on their time in Saigon this seems to be the home base.The author writes very clearly and delivers his impressions and observations rather beautifully, as he gives some glimpses of the life of both the natives and the colonists, the food, costume, customs, weather, the countryside, river craft and river culture. His four trips into Cambodia, what with their series of pen and ink sketches and the unusual architecture, are among the most impressive parts of the manuscript. Thus, in Angkor Thom: "All around, marvelously chiseled foundations, cornices, medallions as beautiful as those of Angkor Wat, but more degraded and sad to see by the light of our torches. Above our heads a high vault in which we find the bawling of the bats and where we see cracks, crevasses, with a piece of blue sky glimpsed through some root or some branch of liana lit by a ray of sun. We walk, we always walk, groping, with a thousand precautions, lowering the torches to see the projection of the blocks, taking the pace one behind the other, blowing no word and we arrive at the other end of this gallery which had to be formerly of great splendor. ...In a last effort, we set foot on a vast platform relatively clear of trees and lianas, perfectly flat, where the sun plays and where awaits us the most extraordinary spectacle, the most unheard of, the more unexpected, the most splendid, the strangest it is possible to imagine...From the platform arise the towers, some large, others small, quite similar to each other carrying, in cameo, and looking at the four cardinal points, large figures carved from three to four meters height. Brahma's heads, with their mysterious glances, embedded in the tower like precious stones in a goldsmith's piece, are fantastic, like a fairy-tale decoration, something dreamed of in a hallucination but unsuitable for Reality, impossible and real...." The ‘outpost’ of Saigon is described. Being the seat of local government inspires Cordes to reflect on the nature of French administration and how it differs from the English and Spanish colonial governments. There is an interesting description of the new, modern city of Saigon that is un-populated as juxtaposed to an outlying area known as Cholon that is a buzzing hub of commerce and industry inhabited by thirty thousand people. The 1240 page manuscript is brimming with details, and impressions of the country. At points it is difficult to identify locations because of changes in nomenclature of modern maps of the area. The author’s narrative, however, carries the reader along.

By ably blending his field experiences with the writings of zoologists and other observers, Seton had created a work that was eminently readable, yet reflected the latest scientific thinking. His landmark insights into animal psychology and emphasis on life histories gave the work its standing as a classic." (American Dictionary of National Biography). HBS 68014. $4,000.

Provenance Giuseppe Cecchini Pacchierotti, adoptive son of celebrated castrato Gasparo Pacchierotti (1740-1821), with "Proprieta di Giuseppe Cecchini" in contemporary manuscript to inner margin of final blank page and "D. Gasparo ]?]Maria Preny" in another hand in pencil, and with "Paolo Bellucci Roma 1889" in pencil to lower outer corner of title. Binding slightly worn and stained. Minor wear; occasional small stains and soiling; some minor foxing. Pacchierotti "trained at either Forlì Cathedral, or with Bertoni at S Marco, Venice (where he was principal soloist for three years from 28 February 1765), he remained in Venice until 1770, taking a minor operatic role at the Teatro S Giovanni Grisostomo (1766) and singing in Galuppi's Il re pastore in 1769. After an appointment as primo uomo at Palermo he sang in Naples as the partner of Anna de Amicis, beginning in 1771 with Jommelli's Ifigenia in Tauride and performing frequently at S Carlo up to Carnival 1776. He also sang in Bologna in Carnival 1773 (Bertoni's Olimpiade) and at the Naples court theatre in Carnival 1774 (Gluck's Orfeo), and for Carnival 1775 he was engaged at the Regio Ducal Teatro, Milan. In spring 1776 he left Naples permanently, passing through Rome, Florence and Forlì (where his singing in Bertoni's Artaserse provoked the famous incident reported by Stendhal - the orchestra were unable to continue for the tears in their eyes). He was engaged by the theatres of Milan, Genoa, Lucca, Turin and Padua, at each singing in an opera by Bertoni. For two years (1778-80) he sang regularly at the King's Theatre in London, where Bertoni was resident composer. In July 1780 he left for Italy, singing at Lucca in Bertoni's Quinto Fabio (1780); at the Teatro S Benedetto, Venice, in the première of Bertoni's Armida abbandonata (Carnival 1780-81); and at Mantua, in Luigi Gatti's Olimpiade (1781). Persuaded by William Beckford, an English admirer and patron, he returned to the King's Theatre, where Bertoni was again composer, singing there with consistent success (1781-4); the London Public Advertiser called him 'superior to any Singer heard in this country since Farinelli'. In September 1781 Pacchierotti performed a Rauzzini cantata with Tenducci and the composer for Beckford's coming-of-age party at his Fonthill estate. Pacchierotti then appeared as primo uomo nearly every season at the Teatro S Benedetto, Venice, and sang at Trieste (1785), Genoa and Crema (1788), Padua, Milan and Bergamo (1789), faithfully promoting Bertoni's operas each season and remaining in Italy until his last London visit, in 1791, where he sang at many concerts as well as in opera. Haydn first heard him on 7 February at a Professional Concert, and little more than a week later had him perform his cantata Arianna a Naxos, himself accompanying at the harpsichord. At Venice in 1792 Pacchierotti sang Bertoni's Requiem for Angelo Emo, the Dies irae of which he made famous. The inauguration and first Carnival season of the Teatro La Fenice, Venice (1792-3), were his last operatic appearances. Pacchierotti retired to Padua a wealthy man, living in the house of Cardinal Bembo surrounded by furniture from London, an English garden and many famous visitors including Goldoni, Stendhal and Rossini. He spent the last 28 years of his life studying Italian and English literature, and concentrating his musical interests particularly on Marcello's psalms. He sang in public at least twice: in 1796 in Padua before Napoleon (unwillingly), and on 28 June 1814 at S Marco for Bertoni's funeral. By all accounts the greatest of the late 18th-century castratos, Pacchierotti was last in the line of the finest male sopranos. Both Mount Edgcumbe ('the most perfect singer it ever fell to my lot to hear') and Burney devoted more space to describing his genius than they accorded any other performer of the era. He was able to sing with facility from B♭ to c‴, had a command of many different styles, was a considerable actor and moved even casual listeners by his rendition of pathetic airs. He was the principal author of the anachronistic vocal treatise Modi generali del canto premessi alle maniere parziali onde adornare o rifiorire le nude o semplici melodie o cantilene giusta il metodo di Gasparo Pacchiarotti (Milan, 1836), published under the name of his friend Antonio Calegari." Kathleen Kuzmick Hansell in Grove Music Online Giovani: Dalla collezione di Giuseppe Cecchini Pacchierotti, un'ignota fonte scarlattiana. Il manoscritto di cantate della Fondazione Giorgio Cini, Venezia. In La cantata da camera e lo stile galante. Sviluppi e diffusione della "nuova musica" tra il 1720 e il 1760 (pp. 1-26). Amsterdam: Stile Galante Publishing. A substantial collection of Scarlatti cantatas with a distinguished provenance, the present manuscript could shed new light on Scarlatti reception in Italy in the decades immediately following the composer's death.

Description
[Various places in California, New York & Mexico, 1960. Very good.. Sixty items total, including fifty-five photograps and five posters. Generally light wear. An attractive archive of visual materials, including posters, broadsides, original photographs, and real photo postcards, that promote leading mariachi singers and musicians of the mid-20th century, including Salvador López, La Prieta Linda, José Alfredo Jiménez, Lucero Aguilar, Miguel Angel Montes, Francisco Avitia, Ignacio Jaime, Jorge de Crespo, and Alfredo “El Mayoral” Gonzalez. Notably, many of the larger pieces feature singer and actress Irma Dorantes (b.1934), one of the last surviving stars from the Golden Age of Mexican cinema. The widow of legendary Mexican ranchero singer and actor Pedro Infante, Dorantes enjoyed a string of hit songs in the 1950s and ‘60s, including her recording of “Recuerdos de Ipacarai” with El Mariachi Mexico de Pepe Villa. “Mariachi music has origins deep in Mexican history. The sound of its string instruments and its oldest rhythms are rooted in Mexico’s colonial times (1519-1810); people from Spain and African slaves and their descendants mingled with hundreds of American Indian cultures to create a new Mexican culture marked by many regions, each with its own signature musical tradition. The music that was called ‘mariachi’ as early as the 1850s emerged from the ranches and small towns of western Mexico, particularly in the states of Jalisco, Michoacán, Nayarit, Colima, and Aguacalientes. When big-city radio stations, movies studios, and record companies took mariachi music to new audiences throughout and abroad in the 1930s, mariachi music was transformed into one of Latin America’s favorite musics. By the 1950s, its standard sound of two trumpets, three or more violins, vihuela (small guitar), and guitarrón (big bass guitar) was set. Since then, its repertoire of fast-paced songs, expressive canciones rancheras (‘country’ songs), polkas, syncopated huapangos, romantic boleros, and more has been heard throughout the Americas and around the world” (Smithsonian Folkways). The present collection includes: 1) An original photograph (6 ½” x 7”) of José Alfredo Jiménez in performance. Jiménez (1926-73) was by far the most important, prolific, and popular composer of música ranchero in Mexico during the 20th century. His extraordinary repertoire of more than 1,000 songs encapsulated the sentiment, ideals, and concerns of the common man in a folksy yet poetic way. 2) Six black-and-white photographs (7” x 5”) of various musicians. Four are identified with holographic annotations on the verso, while another is accompanied by a typed press caption indicating that the image captures Las Hermanas Huerta performing “Cantando Bajo el Recuerdo”. 3) Forty-one black-and-white real photo postcards (3 ½” x 5 3/8”) of various musicians, all identified in the negative or on the verso. The photographs of Alfredo “El Mayoral” Gonzalez and La Prieta Linda are autographed. 4) Six press photographs (8” x 10”) of both solo performers and bands, including two images of Lorenzo Elisea y Sus Piratas and a shot of singer Amalia “La Tariácuri” Mendoza (1923-2001) on stage. 5) Original photograph (13 ¾” x 11”) on Irma Dorantes on horseback during a performance in New York. The undated image is signed by photographer F. Camacho on the recto. Dorantes was known for her equestrian shows and in 1964, she and her horses Gatillo de Oro and Justiciero headlined a residency at the Million Dollar Theater in Los Angeles. 6) Lobby card (16 3/8” x 12 ½”) for “La Banda del Fantasma Negro” (1964), the Jaime Salvador film starring Irma Dorantes and Alvaro Zermeño. 7) Black-and-white poster (18 ¾” x 13 ¾”) of Irma Dorantes, reproducing a portrait of the singer by Mexican photographer Carlos Ysunza Nieto. 8) Large poster (17 ½” x 22 ½”) promoting a benefit performance of “Feria de la Cancion” featuring Irma Dorantes, Cuarteto Ruffino, and Trio Hermanos Martinez-Gil. Circa 1961, no place noted. Printed in blue on yellow cardstock, with a later horizontal crease. 9) Large poster (14” x 22”) for an August 22, 1964 performance by Irma Dorantes at the Rainbow Ballroom in San Jose, California, with opening acts by comic Rudy Frudy and Mariachi San Miguel. Printed by Woolever Press in Los Angeles on white cardstock with a rainbow gradient. 10) Oblong broadside (ca. 1958, 18 ¾” x 13 ¾”) advertising a coronation ball headlined by bandleader Paco Armenta and “el sensacional” Conjunto Tropical Santaneros” at Salon del Cllub de Leones in Calpulalpan, a municipality in Tlaxcala in southeastern Mexico. Printed in color on a thin sheet of white stock, with some loss to the upper corners. Most of the material is unrecorded, with no listings in OCLC or elsewhere. In addition to highlighting many leading Mexican musicians of postwar era, this archive captures the fashion and aesthetics of mariachi at a formative moment in its evolution.

Description
New York: Macmillan Co., 1938. 1st printing of 1st English translation. FIRST PRINTING OF ENGLISH TRANSLATION OF OPARIN'S LANDMARK ORIGIN OF LIFE. 14.5x21.5 cm hardcover, tan cloth binding, gilt title to cover and spine, i-viii, [4], 170 pp, figures in text. Light fading of top and bottom of spine, light browning of page edges. Very good in good+jacket with edge chips. First printing (stated) of the first English translation of Oparin's 1936 landmark book, very scarce in dust jacket. This marks 100 years since the publication of Oparin's first book published in Russian in 1924, a milestone noted in the December 6, 2024 issue of Science (Vol. 386, Issue 6726, pages 1098-1099): "In 1924, a small book titled The Origin of Life began circulating in Moscow. Written by Aleksandr Oparin, a young biochemist who had joined the laboratory of Alexei Bakh at the Karpov Physicochemical Institute to work on photosynthesis, the book proposed that life had emerged in an oxygen-free primitive environment that led to the synthesis and accumulation of organic compounds that subsequently formed gel-like droplets from which the first heterotrophic organisms evolved. The volume became quite popular among student associations, workers' clubs, and biology teachers, and the small edition quickly sold out, never to be reprinted. On its 100th anniversary, Oparin's visionary work is worth revisiting. By the time Oparin graduated from the university in 1917, his academic background included natural history, biochemistry, and plant physiology—knowledge acquired within the Russian research tradition strongly committed to integral approaches in the analysis of natural phenomena. Thanks to Timiriazev's teachings, he was well acquainted not only with nearly all the literature on evolution available in Russia but also, perhaps even more importantly, with the Darwinian method of comparative analysis and historical interpretation of life features. In hindsight, The Origin of Life can be considered a precursor of Oparin's 1936 book, confusingly published with the same title as the first, which represents a major scientific achievement. In the latter book he presented a surprisingly detailed picture of prebiotic evolution based on many scientific fields that started with the synthesis and accumulation of organic compounds in a highly reducing primordial environment. Oparin consistently refused the possibility that life could be reduced to a single living molecule and left behind Haeckel's reductionist assumption that the chance assembly of functional molecules and structures could lead to living organisms. This led him to propose a process of precellular evolution of polymolecular systems using coacervates as models, from which the first anaerobic heterotrophs eventually evolved. The 1938 English translation of Oparin's second book (offered here) played a seminal role in shaping Stanley L. Miller's famous 1953 synthesis of amino acids and other organic compounds under possible primitive conditions. The spectacular results of Miller's laboratory simulation marked the start of the laboratory phase of what we now call prebiotic chemistry. The availability of increasingly refined analytical and observational methods has demonstrated the surprising abundance and diversity of organic molecules present in a wide range of astronomical and planetary environments. Increasingly sophisticated experimental simulations of the primitive environment are now available, enabled by the development of molecular biology and the recognition of biocatalysis, the manifold roles of RNA, and the importance of membranes and self-organization."

Description
8vo leather, rebacked with original boards. 410 pp. Pages 408 & 409 read 108 and 109 instead of correct numbers. Engraved frontispiece. Rebacking crude, but functional. Library stamp on title page, but not that visible. Same stamp on first page of preface. Inscription by early owner. Nice copy. First published in 1675 (this copy is a 5th edition) was reprinted several times in the 17th and 18th centuries. John Wilkins (1614-1672) was a clergyman and scholar, who studied astronomy, mathematics and natural philosophy. As a chaplain in London, he promoted weekly meetings with other intellectuals to discuss progress in the development of natural philosophy, and other branches of learning, These meetings would later evolve into the Royal Society, which Wilkins served as its first secretary. In matters of religion, Wilkins was known for his tolerance of dissenters. In this work he presents many arguments about the existence of God that would become familiar in the 18th century, including “admirable Contrivance of Natural things.”

Cambridge: President and Fellows of Harvard University, 1956. First Edition. Octavo (23.5cm). Cloth-backed boards; 155pp. Presentation inscription on front endpaper from Nobel laureate George Wald to Ben Shahn: "To Ben Shahn / the "eminent artist" (p.49) / George Wald," undated. Covers soiled and stained; text clean and unmarked; about Very Good. From the library of Ben and Bernarda Bryson Shahn, with estate label tipped on to front pastedown. Wald's inscription refers to a passage in the book which quotes an unnamed "eminent artist" - Shahn, it turns out - regarding his notions of an ideal education for an aspiring artist, one that will provide "an education without stifling ... artistic development." George Wald (1906-1997) was an eminent Harvard neurobiologist; he won the 1967 Nobel Prize for Medicine for his work with retinal pigments. He was also, like Shahn, an outspoken advocate for progressive political causes and a vocal opponent of both the Vietnam War and the nuclear arms race.
