Raymond Chandler's original two-page typed letter, the official codicil to his will.

In it he sets forth the directive as concerns donating his eyes ("if they want them") to a cornea bank; the desire to be cremated; and his preferred funeral service ("in a church," "nothing but the formal service for the dead," "no poems read, no speeches, no goddam parson in a funeral parlor or chapel"). Letter is signed by him: Ray.

Description
09/02/1850. This unpublished letter, written at the time of debates around the Fugitive Slave Act of 1850, comes from the collection of Dr. Otto O. Fisher, who bought primarily in the 1930s and 1940s, and thus has not been offered for sale in nearly a centuryIn the middle of the 19th century, Massachusetts brought together men and women who gathered to form perhaps America's first prominent literary movement. It was a flowering of literary artistic creation, and the image of the great men and women of the era sitting around the table discussing and debating the great issues and literary works of the time, from their own works to the evil institution of slavery, is today iconic.Amos Bronson Alcott founded the Town and Country Club in 1849 ""to establish better acquaintance between men of scientific, literary, and philanthropic pursuit ,"" in particular bringing together ""Town” intellectuals with those living outside urban Boston and Cambridge in the “Country"", such as Ralph Waldo Emerson, who lived in Concord and aided Alcott in establishing the Club. Bronson Alcott had been inspired by his recent series of conversations to provide a more regular and permanent meeting place for discussing the ""great questions"" of the day. Many of the first attendee at the Town and Country Club had been involved in the Transcendentalist Club. The Town and Country Club was a more formal success than the other gatherings, in its attempt to establish an organization with a constitution, formal rules, membership fees, and, hopefully, some control over membership. Attendees included many of the leading Trancendentalists. More than 100 people joined the Club or attended meetings, including Longfellow, Theodore Parker, Thoreau and others.Autograph letter signed, Concord, February 9, 1850, to merchant James Fisher, care of Messieurs Fisher and Chapin, Boston. ""I am going out of town so soon, to New York, that I am forced to name Monday next, at 3 1/2 o'clock PM as the hour for the first meeting of the Committee, at the T&C Club Room. I will avail myself of your kind offer to summon all the committee, except Dr. George B. Loring, with whom I have already communicated. Indeed I heard also of the appointment through him. I heartily wish to be present at one meeting and so name this.""

Octavo, modern three-quarter calf gilt, marbled boards. $4600.Complete run of the final 24 issues (the two-volume ""New Series"" of 1853-54) of the abolitionist journal, The Non-Slaveholder, published from 1846 to 1854.This local abolitionist journal covered the quickly changing events around slavery, from news of anti-slavery gatherings to slave laws and from the publication of Uncle Tom's Cabin to some of Frederick Douglass' early writings. The journal was published for the Free Produce Society of Philadelphia, a store that only sold goods untainted by slave labor. The goods themselves were relatively expensive, but many Quakers and abolitionists happily paid more in order to avoid supporting slavery. William Allinson, the editor of this journal, was also the manager of the store. Although the Society disbanded in 1856, the store stayed open until after the Civil War when the high prices could not longer be justified as a moral issue. Owner inscription on title page.

Description
RECAMIER, MADAME JULIETTE. (1777-1849). Parisian socialite remembered for her popular Royalist salon as well as her great beauty, memorialized by such artists as Jean-Louis David. ALS. ("J.R."). 1p. 8vo. N.p., N.d. [1834]. To French author LAURE JUNOT, DUCHESS OF ABRANTÈS (1784-1838). In French with translation. "So how are you doing, dear friend? I am worried about your silence, I would go ask you if I were not restrained by sad affairs, so please tell Monsieur the count that I also complain about not seeing him, he would always find me between three and five o'clock, I would be delighted to see him and would thus hear from you – with a thousand tender greetings…" The daughter of a government minister from Lyon, during the Reign of Terror 15-year-old Juliette was married to Jacques-Rose Récamier, a wealthy banker nearly 30 years her senior. Their marriage was never consummated, fueling rumors that Récamier was Juliette's father, marrying her to make her his heir. Beautiful and flirtatious, Juliette became one of the most popular salon hostesses of her day, especially amongst writers, artists and anti-Napoleon intellectuals. Among the prominent figures who frequented her salon were writer Madame de Staël, King Charles XIV John of Sweden and Norway, and anti-Bonapartist general Jean Victor Marie Moreau. Her adoring male admirers included Napoleon's brother Lucien Bonaparte, Swiss political theorist Benjamin Constant, writer Jean-Jacques Ampère (son of the physicist), French statesman Mathieu Jean Felicité de Montmorency, and painter Jean-Louis David, who executed a famous portrait of her reclining on a sofa that was so associated with her that it became known as a récamier. However, only a few such relationships were consummated, notably with Prince August of Prussia and French author, historian and statesman Francois-René de Chateaubriand, who died in her arms. Juliette was exiled from France for a time due to her anti-Napoleon intrigues, which she continued while living in Italy. Our letter's recipient was also known for her beauty and wit. In 1800, she married one of Napoleon's generals, Jean-Andoche Junot (1771-1813), who, after occupying Lisbon (without any loss of life) was made Duc de Abrantès and governor of Portugal. His wife accompanied him in his Lisbon campaign but, upon her return to France, she fell out of favor with Napoleon, who had once proposed marriage to her widowed mother; thereafter, she supported the Bourbon restoration. From 1831-1834, Laure Junot published her memoirs in 18 volumes, with the support of her lover, French novelist Honoré de Balzac. Written on a folded sheet with the integral address leaf intact. Remnants of the red wax seal. Dated 1834 in an unidentified hand and in fine condition.

Amsterdam, 1765. Engraved hand-colored map, matted and framed. A beautiful hand-colored map of the American southwest focusing on the Southern California, Baja California, the Gulf of California and Arizona (notwithstanding the title, there is no portion of New Mexico depicted). Tirion names San Diego, the Santa Catalina Islands, Ensenada and Cabo San Lucas on the coast, plus Casa Grande on the River Gila, which, though marked as a mission, was a large site of a Native American ruin. He includes images of missions and forts in Baja at San Jose del Cabo and Loretto. This is apparently the earliest printing of the map, published in Tirion’s Nieuwe en Beknopte Hand-Atlas (1765). It was re-issued a number of times over the next decade. Tirion (1705-1765) was a Dutch publisher in Amsterdam. He produced several atlases and Dutch town plans, as well as a number of pamphlets which are all quite scarce.

Brisbane: The Queensland Government Intelligence and Tourist Bureau. Fair. 1914. "New Edition". Softcover. (staple-bound) [heavily worn at edges, small tears at a couple of corners of front cover, spine covering partially gone but binding intact, some scrunching and minor dog-earing to lower corners of first few pages; fold-out map in excellent condition, with some minor creasing along the edge where it extends just slightly outside the text block]. (B&W photographs, fold-out color map) The subtitle pretty much tells it all. "Notwithstanding that the bulk of its country is devoted to the raising of sheep, cattle, and horses, evidence is forthcoming that the land is equally as fertile and wealth-producing as it is in other divisions of the State of Queensland." It goes on in this vein, extolling the region's richness in every possible way, before finally getting to the point: "The real want of Central Queensland at the present time is population." As of 1912, it's stated, there were just 79,332 residents, in an area of 212,224 square miles -- and all 164 pages of this book (with oodles of facts and figures, and a photograph on practically every page) were devoted to convincing the reader that he or she ought to add themselves to that number. (As of the 2021 census, the population had grown to 228,246 -- finally, more than one person per square mile!) .
