Author: SOUTH AMERICA CARIBBEAN. Pelleprat, Pierre, S.J. (1606-1667)
Seller: Liber Antiquus (United States)
Condition: Fine
Description: Paris: Chez S. Cramoisy & G. Cramoisy, 1655. SOLE EDITION. Hardcover. Fine. A fine copy in its original binding of 17th c. mottled French calf, spine gilt and with red morocco label (minor wear to the spine.) Fine and fresh with just the occasional small rust spot. Engraved arms of the dedicatee, Nicolas Fouquet, on the second leaf. First edition of this rare relation describing the Jesuit missions in the Caribbean and on the South American mainland, providing one of the earliest systematic accounts of the Lesser Antilles and Guiana. Much of the book is based on the author's firsthand experiences. He describes the foundation of churches, the conversion of enslaved Africans and Indigenous nations, Indigenous culture, the moral and physical trials of evangelization, and the natural history of the islands and mainland. Of special importance is the third part of the work: the author's grammar and vocabulary of the Galibi language, one of the earliest printed studies of a South American Indigenous language. Pelleprat explains the purpose of understanding Galibi: "I have composed a small grammar and vocabulary of the Galibi language, so that our Fathers who shall come after me may speak to these peoples in their own words and more easily win their souls to God." In 1651, Pierre Pelleprat was sent from France to the Antilles, joining Fathers Denys Mesland, François Gueymeu, and Guillaume Aubergeon. The Jesuits served the indigenous Amerindians, enslaved Africans, and Irish and French settlers. Two years later, Pelleprat and Mesland sailed for the mainland, where they established a mission on the Guarapiche River near the Gulf of Paria. After Mesland's departure was, Pelleprat remained alone, continuing his missionary work and studying the local language. Illness forced him to return to the islands in 1654. He petitioned to return to Europe but was denied and instead lived out the remainder of his life in Mexico, dying at Puebla de los Angeles in 1667. The preface outlines the establishment of the Jesuit mission in the French Caribbean following the founding of Martinique and Guadeloupe in 1635. Pelleprat recounts the arrival of the Jesuits and their efforts to learn the native languages in order to communicate doctrine, record confessions, and translate prayers. His descriptions of the climate, geography, and local governance of the islands are accompanied by remarks on Indigenous customs, domestic life, and religious beliefs. Pelleprat portrays the Indigenous inhabitants with clarity and sympathy. They are "without guile or malice... and capable of every good doctrine... They are neither cruel nor treacherous, as some have claimed; rather they are generous and easily moved to affection when treated with kindness." He notes the Galibis skill in painting and weaving: "They take great care in painting their bodies and in making their cotton cloths, which they dye with beautiful colors." The author records local fishing and hunting practices, the use of pirogues (canoes) along the coasts, and the construction of dwellings raised above ground: "They live by fish and roots, in houses built upon poles to guard against the waters and the reptiles." He marvels at the beauty and richness of South America: its landscape, flora and fauna: "the trees of these islands bear fruit twice a year, and the soil is so rich that it needs only to be turned over to yield harvests beyond expectation". The Galibi Language Pelleprat's introduction to the Galibi language is one of the earliest printed attempts to describe and translate a South American Indigenous language. He explains the purpose of understanding Galibi: "I have composed a small grammar and vocabulary of the Galibi language, so that our Fathers who shall come after me may speak to these peoples in their own words and more easily win their souls to God." Pelleprat opens by justifying his study as a means to conversion, writing that "the barbarous nations... are so docile and so well disposed to receive the Gospel that they await only its preaching." His goal is not philological in the modern sense but practical: to prepare future missionaries to communicate Christian doctrine. Even so, his careful observations show an emerging recognition of linguistic structure. He notes that "this language has its own rules, its order, and its way of composing words," an acknowledgment that Amerindian languages were coherent systems rather than the "corrupted" or "primitive" speech often imagined by Europeans. The Introduction proceeds systematically, identifying letters, pronunciation, and basic grammar before offering a brief bilingual vocabulary. Pelleprat outlines nouns, pronouns, and verb forms, and includes everyday expressions drawn from conversation. The vocabulary reveals the priorities of the missionary encounter, pairing religious and material terms: "God" and "Devil," "soul," "heaven," and "earth," alongside "river," "house," and "friend." Through such juxtapositions, the work translates the Christian world into the idiom of local experience. Pelleprat also recognizes the limits of his own learning, admitting that he "has gathered what he could learn from the natives themselves" and that the book is only a "first attempt." The Islands of America Pelleprat opens with the Jesuits' first arrival at Martinique and he describes the founding of chapels, the teaching of catechism, and the first baptisms. When the mission expanded to Guadeloupe and Saint Christopher (St Kitts), he wrote: "we carried with us neither gold nor silver, but the Cross of Christ and a heart desirous only to win souls. With this we founded our first church on the edge of the sea, the waves serving us for organ and bells." (p. 17) Pelleprat relates the successful conversion of enslaved Africans: "for although they have been reared in brutishness, many become so chaste and honest when they are Christians that they would rather die than commit the least indecency." (p. 33) Irish Catholics who had been exiled by the English sought out the Jesuits for Mass and confession, and Pelleprat recounts the secret ministry carried out among them and the extraordinary virtue of an Irish girl raised in disguise to preserve her chastity. "I cannot omit the victory that a young Irish girl won over the weakness of her sex... This girl had come very young to America, and her father, to protect her, had disguised her and raised her in the dress of a boy." (pp. 49-50) Pelleprat explains how conversion altered conduct during epidemics and famine, and the devoutness of the newly converted: "In the time of pestilence, when even the air seemed to breathe death, our new Christians came in great numbers to confession and communion, choosing rather to die reconciled to God than to live without His grace." (p. 47) The Mainland of South America The second section records numerous observations on the geography and natural history of Guiana: "I saw serpents with wings like bats, and fish that fly above the water; trees whose leaves close at night as if they slept, and others that exude milk when cut." (p. 88) "The rivers here are broader than many seas, their waters dark as ink under the forest's shadow. The land breathes a perpetual spring; trees bear fruit without ceasing, and the air is so temperate that one would think Nature had chosen this region for her rest." (p. 60) Pelleprat records the manners, dwellings, and ceremonies of the Guianese nations: "They are of good stature, well-formed, their countenance open and agreeable. Their huts are made of palm leaves, their hammocks of woven cotton, their vessels of baked clay painted with strange figures . . . When we entered their villages, they offered us cassava bread and the drink of their country, pressing us to sit in their hammocks, which they esteem as the greatest courtesy." (p. 67-69) Chapter VI outlines the political and moral order of Indigenous societies. Government, Pelleprat notes, is communal and tempered by reason: "Their government is gentle; they obey the oldest or the bravest, and all decisions are taken in council, with much shouting but little injustice." (p. 92) "When one dies, they burn his hammock and his weapons, believing that he will find them again beyond the river of souls." (p. 93).

Description: 1743. Engraved vignette on title & four folding engraved plates. 2 p.l., xxvi, [2], 186, [2] pp. 4to, cont. marbled calf (extremities a trifle worn, preliminary leaves a bit discolored), spine gilt, red morocco lettering piece on spine. Paris: David l’aîné, 1743. First edition, and a fine copy, of d’Alembert’s masterpiece on dynamics; this has become a scarce book on the market. “The Traité de dynamique, which has become the most famous of his scientific works, is significant in many ways. First, it is clear that d’Alembert recognized that a scientific revolution had occurred, and he thought that he was doing the job of formalizing the new science of mechanics…The Traité also contained the first statement of what is known as d’Alembert’s principle. D’Alembert was, furthermore, in the tradition that attempted to develop mechanics without using the notion of force. Finally, it was long afterward said (rather simplistically) that in this work he resolved the famous vis viva controversy, a statement with just enough truth in it to be plausible.”–D.S.B., I, p. 111–(& see pp. 111-13 for a full account of the work). Fine copy. From the library of Marchese Giulio Stanga Carlo Trecco (d. 1832), amateur mathematician and physicist who formed a large collection of scientific instruments, with his shelfmark label at head of spine. ❧ En Français dans le Texte 147. Printing & the Mind of Man 195. Roberts & Trent, Bibliotheca Mechanica, p. 7–“A landmark in the history of mechanics.”.

Description: London: John Pearson, 1871. First Thus. Facsimile reprint edition of the 1724 third edition of the Plays and 1735 edition of the Novels. Finely bound by Sotherans in half speckled calf with ornate gilt and morocco to spines. Top edges brightly gilt. Marbled endpapers. Morocco bookplates of W. A. Foyle, Beeleigh Abbey to front pastedowns of each; bookseller's ticket of W. G. Foyle to rear pastedown of each. Measuring 105 x 175mm each. Complete, including frontis. Internally fresh and unmarked. A lovely example with trivial wear, most noticeably to the upper front corner of volume II and the spine ends of volume IV. Most often noted as the first professional woman playwright in England, Aphra Behn used her literary works to promote the employment of women (casting a notably higher percentage of actresses than her male contemporaries), to depict the social and economic precarity of women in her time, and to present women writers as equal in intelligence and irreverence to men. Here, her works are beautifully drawn together; and then as now, they offer a new generation the opportunity to witness her genius.

Condition: Good to Very Good
Description: Western Trade Token Collection with Additional Exonumia.Collection of forty-eight western tokens plus other exonumia composed mostly of merchant "good for" tokens, several Pony Express commemorative 'so-called-dollars', a tool-check, and a 'dog house' license. These were issued at various locales, mostly in Nevada with a couple from California. The tokens were identified by Palazzo, John Schilling, or Holabird Auctions. Palazzo's old and badly worn cardboard mounts have been replaced with new Lighthouse coin 'flips' and the original information has been transferred. Mixed condition; some near mint and others well-worn (as is common with many tokens). One of the images at the link displays a list of all the tokens which will also be provided in hard copy.Trade tokens were a form of unofficial 'minor coinage' made from base metals such as brass, copper, nickel, or aluminum and usually cast as circular disks, but occasionally as octagons, triangles, or in scalloped shapes. They seldom, if ever, had a value of more than a dollar. Trade tokens (sometimes referred to as "Good Fors" because they were usually stamped "Good for" followed by a product, service, or monetary value) first appeared in the United States during the late 1700s, and it's been suggested that George Washington used a trade token to attend Bill Rickett's Philadelphia Circus in 1793. Often, like some of the tokens in this lot, they were issued to be exchanged for a specific product or service such as a loaf of bread, game of pool, meal, hotel room, or brothel visit. In the western states, company stores and independent businesses made frequent use of tokens in mining towns and camps where coinage was often scarce. As an added incentive for businesses, they could only be redeemed at the place of issue, and with little, if any, law enforcement, they were a safe substitute for gold and silver. Also, if the tokens were never redeemed, business owners pocketed a little extra profit.The towns and cities represented in this collection include Aztec, Blair, Carson City, Crystal, Duckwater, East Ely, Elko, Fairview, Goldfield, Los Angeles, McGill, Mound Hill, Reno, Tonopah, Tuscarora, and Winnemucca. Today, some of these places are ghost towns. The lot includes tokens distributed by the American Borax Company, general stores, drug stores, tobacco stores, billiard parlors, hotels, and saloon/brothels. The most interesting tokens in this lot areTwo different tokens from Goldfield, Nevada's most famous saloon, The Northern. One of these tokens was originally bimetallic with an aluminum ring around a copper or brass disc. The disc is missing on this token just as it is on almost all the others that have survived. Tex Rickard and his silent partners, Wyatt and Virgil Earp, opened The Northern in 1905, and Wyatt briefly managed the establishment during its first year of operation. In time, Rickard became a very successful fight promoter; he promoted the championship fight between James J. Jeffries and Jack Johnson. He later used his fortune to build the third iteration of Madison Square Garden--which lasted from 1925 to 1968. During his Garden's second year of operation, Rickard formed a professional hockey team to play there, Tex's Rangers, known today as the New York Rangers. A 12½ cent token for the Red Top Bar, one of Goldfield's notorious brothels. Two 5-cent tokens from the Jeffries & Kipper Billiard Parlor and Gentlemen's Café in Los Angeles which the two men opened in partnership in 1907. Kipper was a frustrated boxer who eventually became the manager of the Los Angeles Coliseum. Jeffries was the legendary Heavy Weight Champion, James J. Jeffries, who was lured back into the ring for a $1 million payday (in today's dollars) six years and an additional 110 pounds after he retired as the "Great White Hope" to fight the then-current champion, Jack Johnson. (For additional information about trade tokens, see Rulau's Standard Catalog of United States Trade Tokens 1700 to 1900, Ascarza's "Mine Tales: Trade tokens were used widely, but are rare today" in the 9 Dec 2013 issue of the Arizona Daily Star, and "John Bill Ricketts and the Ricketts Circus" at Circuses and Sideshows, online.) A fascinating physical record of commerce in the boomtowns of the American West. Recent auction results found at Worthpoint suggest the total value of this lot to be just under $1,600.

It is shown that the cluster model of Wildermuth and Kanellopoulos provides an alternative description of certain states in the SU3 coupling scheme of Elliott. The author was associated with the Institute for Theoretical Physics, University of Copenhagen. "With the help of a Fulbright Scholarship, I then did graduate work in physics at the University of Edinburgh, where I earned my PhD. From 1956 through 1960, I was a Ford Foundation Fellow at the Niels Bohr Institute of the University of Copenhagen. From 1960 through 1965, I worked in the Physics Department of Princeton University, as Research Associate, Lecturer, and Assistant Professor. In 1965, I joined the Physics faculty of the University of Minnesota as an Associate Professor, and was promoted to Professor in 1968. I retired in 2000. I continue to do research in theoretical nuclear physics, mostly in collaboration with colleagues at the Universities of Padua and Milan." Aage Niels Bohr was a Danish nuclear physicist who shared the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1975 with Ben Roy Mottelson and James Rainwater "for the discovery of the connection between collective motion and particle motion in atomic nuclei and the development of the theory of the structure of the atomic nucleus based on this connection".
