Title: Toutes Les Oeuvres
Author: DU LAURENS, André
Seller: Martayan Lan, Inc. (United States)
Condition: Scarce, French-language edition of Du Laurens’ works, with a set of 26 anatomical engravings derived from Vesalius and othe
Description: Paris: for Raphael du Petit Val à Rouen, 1613. Scarce, French-language edition of Du Laurens’ works, with a set of 26 anatomical engravings derived from Vesalius and others. "This is the second edition of the French translation of Du Laurens’ collected works... which preceded the publication of the Latin text. In addition to the author's textbook of anatomy and his account of scrofula, the volume contains works on geriatrics, melancholy and other mental afflictions, and an early opthalmological work which describes the anatomy and diseases of the eye. The volume has an exceptionally well-engraved title page, the author's engraved portrait, and numerous historical and ornamental woodcut initials." — Heirs of Hippocrates, p. 144. According to Krivatsy, the French translation of Du Laurens’ Opera Omnia was first published by P. Mettayer in Paris in 1613, and was reprinted by Raphael Du Petit Val in Rouen in 1621. Our copy has an engraved title signed by du Petit Val in Rouen but dated 1613; the Rouen librairie presumably recycled some of the original Paris-printed titles, modifying the original engraving with a cancel. Du Laurens (1558-1609) was the court physician to Marie de Medicis and Henry IV and previously had been professor at the University of Montpellier. * Wellcome I, 1942; Krivatsy, 3506, 3507; Heirs of Hippocrates, 389.. Folio [23 x 34.5 cm], (10) ff., including engraved allegorical title & portrait of Du Laurens, 353 (1) pp., (10) ff.; (1)f., 53, (3) ff.; 43, (3) ff.; 57, (3) ff.; 30, (2) ff.

Title: Jules A. Appler's Map of San Antonio, Tex., and Suburbs
Author: [Texas]. Appler, Jules A.
Seller: McBride Rare Books (United States)
Condition: Very good.
Description: [San Antonio]: Jules A. Appler, 1940. Very good.. Large sheet map, 41.5 x 29.25 inches. Printed in black, green, and red. Old folds, some slight splitting at folds. Minor wear and soiling. A scarce, large-format map of San Antonio, Texas, capturing the city at the beginning of its World War II boom. This is perhaps the last work published by Jules A. Appler, a property developer who issued many of the city’s most popular maps and directories over a 50-year period. Appler was active between 1890 and 1940, creating many of the most popular maps recording life in San Antonio over two generations of dramatic growth. This substantial map showcases all of San Antonio and its immediate environs. The city is shown centered upon the old town with its circular canal on the San Antonio River, with the Alamo nearby. Several railway lines converge on the center of the city, highlighting San Antonio's history as a transportation hub. The various named neighborhoods fan out in all directions, generally following a grid-pattern, interspersed by parklands, while the new suburbs, many with curvy street patterns, lie further afield. Indicative of the city’s diversity (and its contemporary racial segregation), the cemetery area, in the lower right center, notes the different sections for various Christian denomination, as well as ‘Hebrew’ and ‘Colored’ plots. While the map is undated, and the OCLC record simply says "1910s," it appears that Appler received a copyright for the map on August 20, 1940. Three institutional examples noted, at the Texas State Library, Southern Methodist University, and the Daughters of the Republic of Texas Library.

Title: Wanted By FBI / Emily Montague Harris; Wanted By FBI / Patricia Campbell Hearst
Author: [California – Symbionese Liberation Army – Patty Hearst] Federal Bureau of Investigation
Seller: Auger Down Books (United States)
Condition: Yellow tape to seal; else Fine.
Description: Washington, D.C.: Federal Bureau of Investigation, 1974. Mailer measuring 8 x 15 ¾ inches, folded in fours. Yellow tape to seal; else Fine.. An FBI mailer soliciting information about Emily Harris and Patricia Hearst of the Symbionese Liberation Army (SLA), a left-wing militant group based in California and responsible for several killings and bank robberies between 1973 and 1975. Hearst, the granddaughter of publishing tycoon William Randolph Hearst, had been kidnapped by the SLA in February of 1974; in April, she turned up on surveillance video robbing a San Francisco bank with other members of the SLA. Harris was involved in Hearst’s kidnapping and was, at the time this mailer was distributed, on the run with her husband William Harris and Hearst, and wanted for firearms violations. The mailer describes the three as “armed and very dangerous.” The trio was arrested in San Francisco in 1975. The Harrises served eight years in prison but were re-arrested in 2002 for the murder of Myrna Opsahl during a 1975 bank robbery. Hearst served two years of a seven-year sentence; her sentence was commuted by Jimmy Carter, and in 2001 she was pardoned by Bill Clinton.
