Title: Uber die französische Revolution und die Ursachen ihrer Dauer
Author: Mallet du Pan, [ J ] trans. by Friedrich Gentz
Seller: Palinurus Antiquarian Books (United States)
Condition: Very good; some rubbing to the joints. a bit of bug damage to the leather at base of the spine.
Description: [Berlin]: [F Vieweg], 1794. First German Edition.. Contemporary three-quarter leather.. Very good; some rubbing to the joints. a bit of bug damage to the leather at base of the spine.. 8vo. Mallet du Pan was the author of the political section of the weekly Mercure de France. His numerous publications and the book offered here take a position against the attempts to remake society and man through revolution. But the book is perhaps best regarded for the efforts of the translator,who added notes and a new appendix to the original text. Friedrich Gentz was a noted journalist ( he was also a contributor to du Pan's journal ) of the day and eventually a close and trusted advisor to Metternich. He was also the author of the political periodical Berlin Historisches Journal and the translator of Burke's Reflections .... into German. His work caught the attention of the young J Q Adams (who may well have gotten to know of him through his contributions to the Mercure during the war in America) and who then translated Gentz's essays on the French Revolution into English to make it available in America. Gentz's ideas, offered here, therefore had an impact upon the development and order of democracy in the post-colonial United States and certainly upon Adams, the future president. See Scott & Rothaus II, 622 for the author; see Einaudi # 3648; absent from Kress.

Title: [Small Vernacular Photograph Album Featuring African American Men and Women in High Point, North Carolina, Along with an Interesting Handbill for an Event Featuring Professor Will Lindsay]
Author: [African Americana]: [North Carolina]
Seller: The Joe Fay Company LLC (United States)
Condition: Good.
Description: [High Point, N.C., 1910. Good.. Six leaves, illustrated with two small tintypes and eleven photographs on paper, plus two ephemeral items pasted in. Contemporary brown padded cloth over boards, metal fore-edge clasp. Spine perished, corners worn. One photograph chipped, moderate wear to remainder, a few faded. A mysterious but absorbing surviving record of a handful of African American men and women who all presumably lived in or near High Point, North Carolina in the late-19th and early-20th century. Two photographs and one ephemeral item all indicate High Point as their location of origin. Specifically, the photographs are stamped "C.W. Rochelle Photographer High Point N.C." and "Rochelle & Utley High Point N.C." respectively. C.W. Rochelle operated a photographic studio on Washington and College streets in High Point, North Carolina for almost forty years before he died of a heart attack in early 1913. The ephemeral item relating to High Point is a handbill touting a "Special" presentation by Professor Will Lindsay at the First Baptist Church in High Point. The show promised to be "his final Entertainment in High Point. The grandest ever witnessed." Lindsay was apparently a singer whose "Musicale" was to be followed by the rewarding of fifteen presents to those "holding lucky numbers." The photographs in the present album are all simple portraits, a few of which are either annotated on the verso or identified on the album leaves below the pictures. For example, one real photo postcard of a young woman identifes her on the verso as "Lubirtha Robbins." Another photograph taken in Winston, North Carolina is identified on the album leaf as "Mother." The photograph next to her, featuring a young man in a sideways fedora is captioned, "Charlie Card." A small but important record of an unidentified group of African American men and women centered around High Point, North Carolina over a century ago.
