Octavo, original black cloth gilt, original dust jacket; housed in a custom half morocco clamshell box. $8200.First edition of this early collection of writings by Newton, co-founder of the Black Panther Party, whose ""flamboyance, vision and passion came to symbolize an entire era,"" boldly inscribed by him, ""For R— my own voice and the voice of the People finding the clarity of our situation, From Huey,"" with 16 pages of illustrations, in original dust jacket.Newton, who co-founded the Black Panther Party in 1966 with Bobby Seale, was ""one of the most charismatic symbols of black anger in the late 1960s"" (New York Times). Newton's ""flamboyance, vision, and passion came to symbolize an entire era"" (ANB). At news of his death in 1989, Seale recalled how the Party was formed.

Description
London: T. Nelson and Sons, 1858. First edition. Good. First issue, with the plate "Terrible Encounter with a Shark" facing p. 76 (in the second issue, it was tipped in as the frontispiece). Octavo (7 x 4 5/8 inches; 177 x 117 mm.). viii, [9]-438, [2, blank] pp. Color-printed frontispiece, color-printed pictorial title, and six color-printed plates after drawings by the author. Plate facing p. 214 with original tissue-guard. Publisher's first issue binding of royal blue diagonal ripple-grain cloth with covers decoratively stamped in blind and front cover and spine pictorially stamped and lettered in gilt. Original pale yellow coated endpapers. Bindiing somewhat worn and the gilt dulled. The spine has been expertly repaired with a small piece missing from the center left and some loss of cloth at head and tail. Corners a little worn, inner hinges expertly restored. Neat ink presentation (December 25th 1859) on front pastedown. Small ink stain on fore-edge affecting pp. 297 to end. Page 387/388 has the top blank margin torn away, not affecting any text but just touching the page number on verso. A Good copy of this extremely scarce nineteenth-century children's book. Only a handful of copies of the first issue in the original cloth have sold at auction in the past fifty years. This copy comes from the library of Edgar Osborne (d. 2008), a very well-known collector of English literature. It was exhibited at the Festival of Britain Exhibition of Books 1951 which was arranged by the National Book League at the Victoria & Albert Museum as exhibit no. 68. The original exhibition slip is loosely inserted. Together with a copy (ex library) of the original 1951 Festival of Britain Exhibition of Books catalog listing this copy on p. 33 (item no. 68) listing the lender as the renowned librarian and founder of one of the premier collections of children's fiction, Edgar Osborne. "Most of the incidents used in the plot of The Coral Island, the author's most famous book, Ballantyne culled from an obscure work entitled The Island Home; or, The Young Cast-Aways by James F. Bowman, who wrote under the pseudonym of Christopher Romaunt. The Island Home was published in Boston in 1851, and by Nelson's of Edinburgh in 1852, and Ballantyne took a copy with him to Burntisland, near Edinburgh, where he spent a fortnight's holiday during the summer of 1857...The writer's other main source of information was Recent Exploring Expeditions to the Pacific, and the South Seas by J.S. Jenkins, published by Nelsons in 1853" (Quayle). Robert Michael Ballantyne (1825 - 1894) was a Scottish author of juvenile fiction who wrote more than one hundred books. He was also an accomplished artist, and exhibited some of his watercolors at the Royal Scottish Academy. The Coral Island (1858) is the most popular of the Ballantyne novels still read and remembered today, and because of one mistake he made in that book, in which he gave an incorrect thickness of coconut shells, he subsequently attempted to gain firsthand knowledge of his subject matter. For instance, he spent some time living with the lighthouse keepers at the Bell Rock before writing The Lighthouse, and while researching for Deep Down he spent time with the tin miners of Cornwall. Edgar Osborne (1890 - 1978) was a distinguished librarian, an able administrator, scholar and collector, who founded one of the premier collections of children's fiction, the Osborne Collection of Early Children's Books. The Osborne Collection of Early Children's Books 1566-1910, volume I, p. 322; Quayle, R.M. Ballantyne. A Bibliography of First Editions. 12a; Sadleir 103. Good.

1908. Very Good. One page (135 words) on a single letter-sized sheet (21.5cm. x 28cm.). No letterhead (sent from New York City). Blue type. Minor soil. Old fold marks. Minor corner chip. Phillips was Secretary of the Pennsylvania State Educational Commission. BTW is responding to a letter which apparently asked for his views on the matter of separate race schools in Pennsylvania. BTW declines to "give advice in a matter covering local conditions." Instead he suggests that prominent Pennsylvania African Americans be consulted and suggests the names of four such individuals (all of whom were editors of African American journals or newspapers). Also included is the carbon copy of a short letter from Phillips thanking BTW for his letter.

Wien: Alwin Cranz [PN C. 50024], 1948. Large octavo. Original light brown printed wrappers. 1f. (recto title, verso cast list), 1f. (recto contents, verso blank), 5-208 pp. With handstamps to upper portion of upper wrapper ("Boynton & Haithwaite" and "Arundel Opera Theatre, Inc."). Wrappers worn. Some internal wear and browning; remnants of wrapper to inner margin of title. First performed in Vienna at the Theater an der Wien on 24 October 1885, with text by I. Schnitzer after M. Jókai's Saffi. "Certainly Strauss was no judge of librettos and throughout his life he found it both cumbersome and restricting to compose to prescribed texts, though with Der Zigeunerbaron (1885) he showed himself uncharacteristically adept in this. Over the next quarter of a century a further 14 operettas and even a grand opera (Ritter Pásmán, 1892) cemented Strauss's position as the leading light in 'Silver Age' Viennese operetta, though even in the composer's lifetime only three of these found international success: Die Fledermaus (1874), Eine Nacht in Venedig (1883) and Der Zigeunerbaron."
