Author: (FRENCH ILLUSTRATED BOOKS). "MOLIÈRE" (Pseudonym). [POQUELIN, JEAN-BAPTISTE]
Seller: Phillip J. Pirages Fine Books and Medieval Manuscripts (United States)
Description: Paris: [Printed by Michel Lambert for] La Compagnie des Libraires Associés, 1773. First Bret Edition, with additional leaves 66*-67* and 80*-81* in volume I.. 198 x 125 mm. (7 3/4 x 5"). Six volumes. Edited by Antoine Bret. Very attractive 19th century maroon morocco, gilt, covers with French fillet border, raised bands, spine compartments with central fleuron, gilt lettering, turn-ins with multiple decorative rolls, marbled endpapers, all edges gilt. With title page vignettes, engraved portrait after Mignard in volume I, and 33 ENGRAVED PLATES after Moreau le jeune. Front pastedowns with armorial bookplate of the Earl of Cromer engraved by J. F. Badeley and dated 1919; half titles with faded ink signature of Francis Willett. Cohen-de Ricci 716-19; Furstenberg 109; Lewine 363; Tchemerzine VIII, 360; Brunet III, 1798-99. ◆A touch of rubbing to joints and extremities, one leaf with three-inch closed tear into text (no loss), other trivial imperfections in the text, but A VERY ATTRACTIVE SET, UNUSUALLY BRIGHT, FRESH, AND CLEAN INTERNALLY, and with the engravings richly impressed. This is a handsomely bound set of what Lewine calls a "remarkable" edition both "for the type and for the beauty of the illustrations." In addition to the extensive learned commentary by French playwright Antoine Bret, our copy is enhanced with lively plates illustrating scenes by one of the greatest illustrators of the day, Moreau le jeune (1741-1814). According to the Getty Museum, publishers sought out Moreau "for his powers of observation and ability to capture nuances of gesture, pose, and light." Ray says that the best work by Moreau "showed him to be the equal of the established rococo masters Boucher, Eisen, and Gravelot," and that in his heyday, "he carried all before him." According to Furstenberg, our "Molière is rightly considered one of the masterpieces of illustration in the eighteenth century." And Tchemerzine considers the present edition (with the additional pages numbered 66*-67* and 80*-81* and with signatures very clear on the plates "L'Avare" and "Le Sicilien ou l'amour peintre") the best version of this beautifully illustrated Molière. Under the stage name "Molière," actor and playwright Jean-Baptist Poquelin (1622-73) penned and produced satirical plays--many of which caused considerable scandal--at the Parisian theater now known as the Comédie Française. According to Britannica, "the actor in him influenced his writing, since he wrote (at speed) what he could most naturally act. . . . He is a classical writer, yet he is ready to defy all rules of writing." Former owner Rowland Thomas Baring, 2nd Earl of Cromer (1877-1953) was a British soldier and diplomat who served as Lord Chamberlain--the most senior official in the Royal Household of the United Kingdom--from 1922 to 1938, a period that included one of the monarchy's greatest crises, the abdication of Edward VIII. Ownership of our set would have made sense for him, since one of his duties as Lord Chamberlain was deciding which plays would be allowed to be performed in Britain..

Seller: Phillip J. Pirages Fine Books and Medieval Manuscripts (United States)
Description: Paris: Brunet, 1775-83. 225 x 142 mm. (8 7/8 x 5 5/8"). With blank leaf M6 in volume III, half title in volume IV. Four volumes. A new translation by M. d'Ussieux. Appealing contemporary marbled calf, gilt, covers with triple gilt fillet border, flat spines gilt in compartments with central patera sunburst, lancet tools at corners and sides, one black and one red morocco label, red paste paper endpapers, all edges gilt. With engraved portrait in volume I and 92 ENGRAVED PLATES (with original tissue guards), 46 from the Baskerville suite (see below) and 46 by Cochin. Cohen-De Ricci 98; Ray, "French," p. 113. Bindings with half a dozen small patches of lost patina due to insect activity, leather on spines a little dried and crackled, occasional mild browning, other trivial imperfections, but an extremely pleasing copy, especially internally, with a clean, remarkably fresh text, wide margins, and excellent impressions of the engravings. Our French edition of Ariosto's great sprawling romantic epic combines illustrations from two famed editions with engravings by top artists of the period. Each of the 46 cantos of "Mad Orlando" has two plates depicting the events described, one from the Baskerville edition of 1773 printed in Italian for Molini and one from the quarto edition of the present French translation, published just before our octavo printing. These 46 pairs of images are not only aesthetically pleasing as engravings, but they allow for fascinating studies in interpretation because the pairs are consistently--and sometimes very distinctly--different one from the other. Jean-Michel Moreau, known as Moreau le Jeune (1741-1814), provided illustrations for Diderot's encyclopedia and engraved works for François Boucher, in addition to illustrating the works of Rousseau and Voltaire. According to the Getty Museum, "publishers sought him out for his powers of observation and ability to capture nuances of gesture, pose, and light." Ray says that the best work by Moreau "showed him to be the equal of the established rococo masters Boucher, Eisen, and Gravelot," and that in his heyday, "he carried all before him." Ray was enchanted by the Moreau engravings seen here, noting "Moreau was at the top of his form, as might have been expected when the most elegant of illustrators encountered the most elegant of poets." Charles Nicholas Cochin (1715-90) was one of the foremost French illustrators and one of the most influential persons in the French art world of the 18th century. He began producing engravings in his teens, was elected to the Academy at 26, and was a member of the court for 40 years, doing portraits of almost every celebrity of the period. As the person who provided the finished plates from the 276 original compositions by Oudry for the famous large folio edition of La Fontaine's "Fables" (1755-59), Cochin played an instrumental role in producing what Ray says is "one of the most ambitious and successful of all illustrated books." At 50,000 lines long and 26 years in the making and refining, "Orlando Furioso" by Ariosto (1474-1533) is one of the most singular and extravagant of narratives ever conceived. The story takes place against the background of the war between Charlemagne and the Saracens, when Orlando (Roland), one of Charlemagne's finest knights, neglects his duty out of love for the pagan princess Angelica. After she falls in love with a Saracen and elopes, Orlando goes mad, and is only restored to sanity when another knight flies to the moon in Ezekiel's chariot and obtains a magic potion to break the spell. (There are many more complications.) First published in 1516, "Orlando" was translated into English, French (as here), Spanish, and German, becoming one of the most influential works of literature (writers indebted to Ariosto include Tasso, Cervantes, Spenser, Shakespeare, Milton, Byron, and Shelley)..

Seller: Rootenberg Rare Books & Manuscripts (United States)
Description: London: Robert Clavell, 1700. FIRST EDITION. With frontispiece plus 6 additional engraved portraits. Text in double columns. Later calf-backed cloth, spine in compartments with red morocco spine label, new endpapers; interior excellent. First edition. Rycaut recounts the stories, myths and truths about the leadership and religious wars of the Ottomon Empire at the end of the seventeenth century. He describes the lives of Mehmed IV, Suleiman II, Ahmed II, and Mustafa II with their portraits. The Great Turkish War pitting the Empire against European nations is detailed, as is the Siege of Vienna in 1683. Rycaut also includes a copy of the Muscovite Treaty with the Turks. This book is Rycaut’s third “history” and to a great extent is taken from Richard Knolles’ Generall historie of the Turks (first published in 1603). Knolles’ book, dedicated to “the High and Mightie Prince James” (who became James I of England) was the first significant history of the Ottoman Empire written in the English language. This 1700 first edition includes an account of Rycaut’s time in Constantinople. Rycaut FRS (1629-1700) was an English diplomat, historian, and authority on the Ottoman Empire. A Fellow of the royal Society, he was the private secretary to Heneage Finch, 3rd Earl of Winchilsea, ambassador to the Ottoman Empire Atabey 1077; Blackmer 1466; Wing R2408.

Author: HALE, Sir Matthew
Seller: Rootenberg Rare Books & Manuscripts (United States)
Description: In the Savoy [London]: E. and R. Nutt and R. Gosling, for F. Gyles, T. Woodward, and C. Davis, 1736. First authorized. Mispaginated, but complete with frontispiece portrait by George Vertue, errata. Contemporary calf, rebacked with red and black leather spine labels, covers worn; interior with wormholes in the lower blank margins of the first and last few leaves, occasional soiling, heavier on endpapers and paste-downs. From the Haskell Norman library. First authorized edition. Lord Hale (1609-76) was considered the greatest legal mind of the period in England; his high authority has always been invoked against the plea of insanity. He defines the differences between medical and legal insanity, as well as partial or temporary insanity. On this subject, Lord Hale stated that only total insanity could absolve a criminal from legal responsibility, a principle still prevalent in present day criminal law. Hale also believed the moon was responsible for mental disease, and he is thought to have coined the term "lunatic.

Title: Underground Hacker Publications at the End of the Analog Era: Documenting the Shift to the Commercial Internet, Eight Issues of "Blacklisted! 411," 1995-1998
Author: Underground Hacker; Blacklisted! 411
Seller: Max Rambod Inc. (United States)
Description: 1995. Blacklisted! 411 archive of eight periodicals produced as part of a countercultural shared conviction that the telecommunications and computing systems proliferating through the 1990s should be understood by their users rather than treated as closed corporate property. The West Coast publication discusses phone phreaking (manipulating the telephone network), bulletin-board networks, and the broader hacker underground. Its editorial remit was the internal workings of contemporary systems such as telephone and cellular networks, bulletin-board services, consumer electronics, radio and scanner equipment, and cable and utility infrastructure, all presented through technical instruction interleaved with a sustained strain of anti-corporate and anti-government commentary. The present group of eight issues, spanning January 1995 to Fall 1998, represents a selection from the title's first generation, and documents it across a formative period: practical how-to material on telephone and cellular systems, carrier-code and BBS directories, hardware teardowns, and scanner-frequency guides, alongside editorial and satirical content reflecting the publication's countercultural orientation. Blacklisted! 411. Vol. 2, Nos. 1-3; Vol. 3, No. 3; Vol. 4, Nos. 2 and 4; Vol. 5, Nos. 1-2. Cypress, California: Syntel Vista, 1995-1998. ISSN 1082-2216. Eight issues, quarto, edited by Zachary Blackstone. Coverage includes Groom Lake and Area 51 ("Uh, not so 'Secret' Air Base?"), California and Pennsylvania BBS directories, AT commands, cellular hacking, vending machines, COCOT systems, red boxing, casino hacking, pirate radio survival guides, AOL service congestion and refund disputes, US West Internet access pricing, Gateway 2000's acquisition of Amiga Technologies, airport body-scanning technology, central office operations, web spoofing, LAPD radio systems, federal government frequencies, and electronic commerce. Reader meetings, classified ads, BBS directories, technical-support exchanges, and conference references document the social infrastructure surrounding late twentieth-century hacker culture. Blacklisted! 411's earlier history as a Southern California disk magazine, distributed by modem and floppy disk beginning in 1983, gives the print run a longer technological genealogy than most 1990s hacker periodicals. The issues preserve the shift from hobbyist computing and phone-phreaking practices to a commercial Internet environment shaped by software companies, online service providers, cable operators, telephone carriers, and federal regulation. Reader meetings, classified ads, BBS directories, technical support exchanges, and conference-era community references document the social infrastructure surrounding late twentieth-century hacker culture before web forums became dominant. Light wear, occasional creasing, and scattered handling marks; internally clean and complete. Overall very good condition.

Description: London: Bailliere, Tindall and Cox, 1907. First edition. BRITISH PHYSICIAN'S CONCERN OF THE GROWTH OF MEDICAL "SPECIALISM" INCLUDES SIGNED AUTOGRAPH LETTER TO HARVARD COLLEAGUE. 14x22 cm hardcover, blue cloth binding, gilt title to cover, Harvard Library bookplate to front paste-down, ALS tipped in front free endpaper, ink inscription top of title page, "To Profr. Harold Clarence Ernst M.D. etc with kind and grateful regards from the Author W.E. Nov 1907." 39 pp, residue from removal of library stickers to back paste-down. Perforated library stamp to front free endpaper, hinges starting, pages age-toned. Good+ in custom archival mylar cover. Single fold (with writing on 2 sides of one page) Autograph Letter Signed (ALS) tipped onto front free endpaper, Nov 16, 1907, transmitting this book (letter embossed with his club seal The Athenaeum atop first page) to Harvard Medical School Professor of Bacteriology Ernst. Ewart's address shares his views on the dwindling of the field of general practice and the growth of specialism (specialization) as both parts of an economic and professional crisis in British medicine. There is a brief discussion of the author's visit in the prior year to the inauguration of the "new Harvard Medical College" as an example of the high scientific standards now being expected of the medical profession. Ewart's letter to Ernst apologizes for not thanking him for a copy of the Souvenir Report of the Harvard dedication referred to in this publication. All in all, a nice association copy that underscores the growing professionalization of medicine and medical education at the turn-of-the-century. TEXT OF LETTER: "33 Curzon St., Nov. 16, 1907/ Dear Professor,/ The pamphlet which I am sending you by this mail is I fear a very lame apology for my remissness in thanking you for the lovely Souvenir Report of the Exercises at the Dedication of the New Buildings. At any rate it will convey to you the proof that the remembrance of the memorable events of last Autumn is not likely to fade away in my mind. I must leave you to infer that this serious failure on my part was not intentional and that there was more than enough to explain it in the varied complications and pressures through which I have passed; but I will not attempt to excuse it as I feel that it must be from your point of view inexcusable, and I can only crave for your acceptance of my humble apology, and for your kind forgiveness. Allow me to thank you most heartily for the honour you have done me and to thank you again very gratefully for your personal kindness to me which I shall never forget. I hope that you have had a most prosperous year in your new laboratory, and that your great school is fulfilling the expectations of its numerous friends and admirers. With very kind regards and renewed apologies. Yours most Sincerely, Wm. Ewart [To Profr. Harold C. Ernst M.D. etc]. WILLIAM EWART (1848 – 1929) was an English physician remembered for Ewart's sign. He studied medicine at St George's Hospital Medical School, and earned his M.B. in 1877 from Cambridge University. He worked at St George's Hospital and the Royal Brompton Hospital, becoming a Fellow of the Royal College of Physicians in 1881 and Doctor of Medicine in 1882. Whilst at the Brompton hospital he developed a significant interest in thoracic disease which, with climatological reports, was the principal subject of his writings. In his paper 1896 entitled "Practical aid in the diagnosis of pericardial effusion in connection with the question as to surgical treatment" described 12 signs of pericardial effusion, two of which bear his name: Ewart sign and Ewart sign II. PROVENANCE: HAROLD CLARENCE ERNST (1856 - 1922) graduated with an M.D. from Harvard Medical School in 1880. There he was taught by William Sturgis Bigelow, who had studied with Louis Pasteur in Paris and introduced Ernst to the new field of bacteriology. In 1884, he received his master's degree in bacteriology from Harvard and joined the Harvard laboratory as a demonstrator of bacteriology, a position he held until 1889 when he was made instructor. In 1891, he was appointed assistant professor of bacteriology and in 1895 full professor, fundamentally shaping this nascent department until his death in 1922. In his time leading the department of bacteriology, Ernst persuaded the city of Boston to establish a bacteriological laboratory that achieved great advances in the detection and prevention of diphtheria, one of the first laboratories to do such work in the country. His work led to the widespread sterilization of milk for infant feeding, and he was the first to advise the use of dry sterilized surgical dressings.
