Description
Venice: Stephani Curti, 1689. Engraved title by Portio F., second letterpress title with woodcut engraving of a lion, decorated initials. Seventeenth century vellum over pasteboards, spine hand-lettered, front cover lacking, spine torn and detached from inner hinge; small stain at upper fore-edges, text not affected. An edition of Lucan's ten books on the civil war between Caesar and Pompey as well as an excerpt from Petronius's Satyricon consisting of the writer's "poem" on the civil war. The annotator, Hugo Grotius (1583-1645), a major figure in the history of law, first published his notes on Lucan in 1614. Housman remarked that, despite criticisms, "[Grotius'] exercise of choice and judgment was serious and steady; he is the greatest critic, excepting Bentley, who ever edited Lucan; and even now it is often necessary to a bandon Cortius and Oudendorp and the rest of his successors and return to the text of Grotius.

Description
California, 1883. Envelope or Cover. Very good. These four letters were sent by Joseph D. (Dieffenbach) Layman in California to his cousin, John E. Dieffenbach in Pulaski, Iowa. The letters are enclosed in their original mailing envelopes. All of the letters and two of the envelopes are in nice shape; one of the envelopes has significant foxing, and one has some light blue toning. The correspondence begins with Joseph reporting that he and his sister are attending primary school and ends with him reporting that he has become a teacher and is considering enrolling in college. They read in part: 7 Dec 1873 – Plainsburg, Merced Co., California. Two-page letter. Mailing envelope is franked with a two-cent Washington stamp (Scott #147). “I take pen in hand to let you know how we are getting along in California. We are all pretty well at the present time. . .. The ground is ready to plow as soon as the top dries off a little so that it will not [be] so muddy. We are living in the same rental house that we had rented two years ago but it has been built on [and] we have more room than we had then. Mary and I go to school. [She] is in the fourth reader [and] pretty far advanced in arithmetic and she is in Montheith’s Primary Geography, she writes also. I read and spell in the sixth reader. I am in Progressive Practical Arithmetic, I study Montheith’s Physical and Political Geography and I also write. I have a few ducks now, last year I bought four [and then] two more. [Now,] I have seven. . .. I did not have good luck [selling them] last year. . .. This year I made six dollars and some cents clear off of my ducks. . .. It snowed a little last Wednesday . . . and Mary came home pretty near freezing her hands and feet. . .. We expect [my Aunt Anna] over here on Christmas. . .. I wish that Santa Clause will treat you all well, for he was pretty kind last Christmas here. . .. Mary is [now] singing so much that I can barely write. . ..” 30 Dec 1877 – Lakeport, Lake Co., California. Three-page letter plus a fourth page, written in a different hand, in what appears to be a difficult-to-decipher cramped German script (perhaps docketing by Diffenbach or one of his family members). The letter is enclosed in a three-cent postal stationery envelope (Scott #U83) cancelled with a “TS” handprint identified by a previous owner as a scarce stagecoach cancellation. “We are all pretty well. . .. Crops are about all in and look splendid. . .. I have made some garden yesterday. I transplanted some lettuce and mustard. . .. I went hunting a few times this winder and killed only one duck. Santa Claus was around this year as usual. He left us all some cany nuts stockings and a raw potatoe apiece. Besides this little Daniel got a tin cow. Johnny got a tiger and a pair of shoes. Mary got a china teacup saucer & plate. I got a linen collar and handkerchief. Ma got a half dozen of sauce dishes. In town there were two christmas trees but we did not go to either of them. There was a ball on Christmas night in Lakeport. . .. School commences again next Wednesday. I study Latin Geometry and Algebra. . .. Mary has not gone to school any this winter. . ..” 25 May 1879 – Lakeport, Lake Co., California. Four-page letter. Enclosed in a three-cent postal stationery envelope (Scott #U83). “Our winter is hardly over yet. It has rained a little almost every week since Easter. And a little while ago we had a frost which done considerable damage to the corn and potatoes and the grapevines. I think the crop of grapes will be light. . .. In some parts of the state the grain crop will be very light, but here . . . big crops are expected. . .. I have been going to school since last September. . .. There was an excursion and picnic. The people went across the lake on a scow steamer. I was told that they had music and a splendid time. No one from our family went. . .. I have but one classmate and he is about one half of a year older than myself. . .. The students of my school have formed themselves into a literary society [with] about ten members. . .. We have a few hives of bees here. They have sent out three swarms already. I hived two of them. But one left after I hived it. So I have only one new one left. . .. Mother has been tending to her chickens and turkeys. . .. Johnny is learning to milk [our] five milking cows. . ..” 30 May 1883 – Middletown, Lake Co. California. Two-page letter. Enclosed in a three-cent postal stationery envelope (Scott #U163). “I am now teaching again in Loconomi School District. My term will be out here in about a month, then after a short vacation I want to go off somewhere to school myself. I feel that my education is not nearly yet completed. When I heard from home last the folks were all well. The were still living in Lakeport although father has been looking around for some other place. . .. We are later than usual with our haying, but now at last we are all at it. Machines for cutting are in demand. . .. Yesterday the school girls thought it was time to scrub the school room floor and so they did it and it’s slow drying. . .. The boys go out fishing occasionally and bring home a mess of mountain trout. . .. A week ago last Saturday, I walked about 7 miles into a neighboring school district where a Lakeport friend of mine is teaching. She has a school of two dozen scholars. Last week some of my little boys and girls got to rubbing poison oak over their hands and faces and consequently part of them got poisoned and one so badly that she is not coming to school yet this week. . ..” . Layman did, indeed, continue his education. He entered the University of California at Berkeley later in 1883 and, after graduation, served as the school’s assistant librarian for 19 years. He was then selected to become the head librarian at the University of Nevada. He left Reno and retired to Oakland in 1929 where he remained interested in librarianship. Following his wife’s death in 1942, he became the director of Fairmont Hospital Library at age 80 and served in that position until he retired again in 1958 at age 96. Layman died three years later in 1962, shortly before his 100th birthday. An entertaining and informational set of letters about the early one-room school house education that prepared a young man to graduate from the University of California and eventually become the head librarian of an important state university.

Description
1948. [1] Traill, Sinclair, ed. Jazz Journal issues, 1948, document postwar British jazz culture as readers, collectors, critics, and musicians rebuilt access to American jazz after wartime disruption and expanding record scarcity. Founded by Sinclair Traill in 1948, Jazz Journal became a major English-language jazz periodical; its inaugural year placed African American performers, blues aesthetics, revivalist debate, discography, and record reviews at the center of British jazz criticism. These issues support research into jazz reception in the United Kingdom, transatlantic music journalism, record collecting, racialized cultural admiration, and the postwar circulation of African American musical authority through British print culture. Jazz Journal. Volume 1, Nos. 1-3, 5-6, 8-9. London: J.J. Publications, May-November 1948. Seven issues, each approximately 12 pages, in pictorial wrappers. The run includes the May, June, July, September, October, and November 1948 issues, with one additional issue represented by number rather than month in the supplied description, and contains record reviews, discographies, artist profiles, editorials, criticism, and jazz news. The premier issue opens with Traill's editorial appeal to jazz readers, recalling that "Even in those far-off days between the two wars, when paper was to be had for the asking and printers' costs didn't resemble a millionaire's hotel bill, it was always a dubious endeavour," and closing with the hope that readers would see "a new issue of JAZZ JOURNAL on the first of each month for many years to come." Contents cited in the supplied description include "Make Way for Dixieland or Return to Sanity," a Thomas Waller discography, a September 1948 appreciation of Hoagy Carmichael with signed portrait cover, and Hugues Panassié's November essay "Count Basie and the Blues," which argues that "Count Basie knows how to play the blues as well as it seems possible to do so on the piano." Cover portraits include Louis Armstrong, Nellie Lutcher, Count Basie, and Humphrey Lyttelton, placing African American jazz innovators alongside British revivalist musicians within a magazine aimed at a postwar readership hungry for recordings, biographical knowledge, and critical guidance. Traill, Sinclair, ed. Jazz Journal. Vol. 1, No. 1. London: J.J. Publications, 1948. The opening issue establishes the magazine's postwar purpose through Traill's editorial address to jazz enthusiasts and its promise of sustained monthly criticism. Its contents, including revivalist commentary and discographical attention to Thomas "Fats" Waller, show the early publication's effort to organize jazz knowledge for British readers dependent on print mediation and record collecting. [2] Traill, Sinclair, ed. Jazz Journal. Vol. 1, No. 2. London: J.J. Publications, 1948. This issue continues the magazine's early program of criticism, record commentary, and performer-centered coverage for a readership attentive to American jazz and its British reception. It belongs to the first sequence of issues issued after the May 1948 relaunch from Traill's earlier Pick Up, whose final issue preceded the first Jazz Journal in May 1948. 3] Traill, Sinclair, ed. Jazz Journal. Vol. 1, No. 3. London: J.J. Publications, 1948. The third issue forms part of the magazine's initial attempt to stabilize a postwar jazz readership through recurring reviews, essays, and documentation of recordings and artists. Its position in the first volume is useful for tracing how British jazz criticism developed a regular periodical form in 1948. [4] Traill, Sinclair, ed. Jazz Journal. Vol. 1, No. 5. London: J.J. Publications, 1948. This issue continues the first-year sequence, with the supplied description emphasizing the magazine's mix of artist portraits, discographical writing, and critical essays. The issue contributes to the archive's broader value as evidence of how British jazz readers encountered American performers through images, reviews, and commentary. [5] Traill, Sinclair, ed. Jazz Journal. Vol. 1, No. 6. London: J.J. Publications, 1948. The September 1948 issue features an appreciation of Hoagy Carmichael with a signed portrait cover, connecting jazz readership to popular song, composition, and the American music industry. Its treatment of Carmichael alongside coverage of African American jazz performers demonstrates the publication's wide understanding of jazz-adjacent culture in the late 1940s. [6] Traill, Sinclair, ed. Jazz Journal. Vol. 1, No. 8. London: J.J. Publications, 1948. This issue belongs to the later portion of the inaugural-year run and continues the magazine's regular pattern of record culture, criticism, and performer documentation. In the context of the seven-issue group, it helps show the durability of Traill's monthly editorial project beyond the launch months. [7] Traill, Sinclair, ed. Jazz Journal. Vol. 1, No. 9. London: J.J. Publications, 1948. The November issue includes Hugues Panassié's "Count Basie and the Blues," a critical essay distinguishing blues feeling and phrasing from commercialized improvisation. Its attention to Basie foregrounds African American musical authority within British jazz discourse and gives the archive direct relevance to the study of blues reception, swing-era memory, and postwar criticism. Moderate soiling and creasing to wrappers, occasional spine chipping, intact stapled bindings, delicate covers, and vivid photographic contrasts, good overall. Substantial inaugural-year run of a long-lived British jazz periodical, preserving the early critical vocabulary through which postwar British readers studied African American jazz, swing-era performers, blues expression, and record collecting.

ALS. 1pg. 6" x 7 ". July 20, 1818. Kensington [probably Connecticut]. An autograph letter signed "John Blake" as president of the Society for Propagating Christian Knowledge, to Reverend Eliphalet Pearson (1752-1826), a Harvard professor who began the theological seminary at Andover Academy: "The committee in Kensington for travailing Ministerial affairs again hereby testify their grateful acknowledgements to you and to the Society over which you preside for favours recently received, and still solicit your further aid in supporting Mr. [Minister Samuel] Whiting as a preacher of the Gospel among us, the one hundred dollars already voted to the Society for Propagating Christian Knowledge, was with the sole view that Mr. Whiting might be continued among us, whose labors are very acceptable, and be assured that we on our part will endeavor to do as much as we can for his support." The Society for Propagating Christian Knowledge was a Scottish organization whose mission was to Christianize Native Americans. The letter is clearly legible, with a few spots of toning
