Title: Rubáiyát of Omar Khayyám
Author: [Fine Binding - Riviere] Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam
Seller: Whitmore Rare Books (United States)
Condition: Fine
Description: London: Macmillan, 1906. Fifth edition. Fine. Later issue. A Fine copy. Octavo (7 3/4 x 5 /14 inches; 197 x 133 mm.). [iv], [1]-112 pp. Bound ca. 1906 by [Riviére] for Hatchards (stamp-signed in gilt on front turn-in). Full purple morocco, covers paneled in gilt, front cover elaborately decorated in gilt in an 'art nouveau' style with fifty-six tiny inlaid red morocco circles, rear cover with four tiny inlaid red morocco circles, spine with five raised bands, decoratively tooled and lettered in gilt in compartments, gilt board edges and turn-ins, marbled endpapers, all edges gilt. Fitzgerald attributed the original work to the famed astronomer and mathematician Omar Khayyum, and this collection of quatrains rapidly became a favored text of the Pre-Raphaelites. "Like the Odyssey or the Vita Nuova [it] was once the most widely known and quoted work of Victorian poetry in the world," and its place in Western culture at the time was secured by Fitzgerald's "epigrammatic, sophisticated, often mordant verses [that] display Fitzgerald's adroitness in handling this stanza form" (Warner). Yet with rise of Modernism, the Rubaiyat fell out of style for a time, its lush and romantic orientalism considered out of step with the concerns of those who were living through a devastating World War. But the beautiful surviving copies in exceptional vellum, silk, and leather, alongside recently released critical editions, have helped draw attention back to the Rubaiyat's beauty and its role in inspiring so many monumental pieces of Victorian art and literature. This fifth edition of Fitzgerald's text, published posthumously, contained some changes from the fourth and was based on his manuscript notations. Fine.

Title: LYNCHING IN CROCKETT COUNTY, TENNESSEE
Author: Burton, James D.
Seller: David M. Lesser, Fine Antiquarian Books LLC (United States)
Description: [Oakdale, Tenn., 1929. Two leaves, printed on rectos only, on mimeographed folio pages 8-1/2" x 14." Old folds, about Fine. Burton was Secretary of the Commission on Interracial Cooperation, Oakdale, Tennessee. Burton's facsimile signature, with a date of July 1929, appears at the end. His essay recounts that "Joe Boxley, eighteen year old colored boy, was lynched, near Alamo, Crockett County, Tenn., about 4:00 A.M. Wednesday, May 29th, 1929. Alamo and Crockett County are associated with the name of David Crockett who made his immortal stand at the Alamo in Texas." The mob "lynched the prisoner near the scene of the crime. He was swung up to a limb of a tree. . ." The news quickly spread. The New York Times headline on May 30 [page 15]: "NEGRO, 19, LYNCHED BY TENNESSEE MOB; Youth Accused of Attacking Woman Is Taken From Jail at Alamo and Hanged. SHERIFF'S HOME STORMED Officer Says He Tried to Placate Men Before They Entered His House and Found Key to Lock-Up." Burton's Commission sought answers from the Governor, who did not respond. Burton prints the outrage expressed by the Woman's Section of the Interracial Commission: "TENNESSEE WHITE WOMEN ON LYNCHING AND MOB VIOLENCE." He closes, "For a long period Tennessee has been free from a single lynching. But that record has now been marred, and a shadow is cast across the State." He promises to continue "to crusade against lynching." Joe Boxley was one of the last people lynched in Tennessee. His murder was commemorated and denounced in 2017 with several memorial services in Crockett County.

Title: The Nature of a Crime
Author: Conrad, Joseph; Hueffer (Ford), Ford Madox
Seller: B & B Rare Books, Ltd., ABAA (United States)
Condition: Near Fine
Description: London: Duckworth & Co., 1924 First edition, first printing. Publisher's red boards, spine lettered in gilt; in its original brown dust jacket, front board margins decorated in red, lettered in black, with a diamond-shaped cut-out to spine. Near fine book, with some toning to diamond-shaped area on spine, top corners lightly bumped, light bump to fore-edges of boards, and tipped-in bookseller price to rear endpaper; very good unclipped dust jacket, with light toning and rubbing to spine, flap folds lightly worn with a chip to front flap fold, some small closed tears and light chipping to spine ends, light soiling to rear panel and inner front flap, corners lightly nicked, and a tiny chip to bottom of diamond-shaped cut-out on spine. An attractive, internally clean copy, in its scarce original dust jacket. The Nature of a Crime is composed of a series of love letters written by an unnamed narrator to a married woman. In the letters, the narrator - a lawyer - ruminates on his crime of gambling away the money entrusted to him by a close friend. The narrator's guilt about his relationship with the married woman and fears of going to prison for his crime lead him to contemplate committing suicide. Interestingly, it is believed that Conrad himself attempted suicide when he was in his twenties as a way of escaping overwhelming debt. The Nature of a Crime is the third and final collaborative text written by Conrad and Ford, preceded by The Inheritors (1901) and Romance (1903). First published in Ford's English Review in 1909, the story did not appear in book form until 1924. Conrad is famous for psychologically penetrative works like Heart of Darkness (1899), The Secret Agent (1907), Nostromo (1904), and Under Western Eyes (1911). Ford Madox Ford is the author of the classic works The Good Soldier (1915) and the Parade's End (1924-28) tetralogy.. First Edition. Hard Cover. Near Fine/Dust Jacket Included.
