Description
New York: Holt, Rinehart and Winston, 1970. First edition. Near Fine/Near Fine. First edition, first printing. Scarce advance review copy with publisher's slip and 2 page promotional document laid in. xxii, 487 pp. Bound in publisher's orange over black cloth stamped in red gilt and turquoise. Near Fine with light wear to extremities and small stain to front board. Foxing to textblock edges and rear board, the latter scarcely noticeable; a touch of soiling to rear endpapers. In a Near Fine unclipped dust jacket with light edgewear, two 1/4" tears to upper edge, and slightly sunned spine panel. The publisher's document announces that "Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee documents the historical violation of the American Indian as graphically as Custer Died for Your Sins demonstrates their present suffering." The book struck a chord with a public disgusted by the Vietnam War and energized by the American Indian Movement. It became a bestseller and has never been out of print since, and is now regarded as a classic of American history.

[Watercolor Album] Scenes in China
Seller
White Fox Rare Books and Antiques (United States)
Description
Paintings depicting professions and various other pursuits, customs, etc. 8vo. 26 watercolor paintings pasted onto leaves. Watercolors were executed onto a thin paper and then pasted onto the card. The mounting of the paintings has protected them from tearing and chipping, at the sacrifice of now being subject to the vissitudes of a leaves made of an acidic, or high pulp content, card stock. Also the paste used in mounting appears here and there as a light, spectral presence. Subjects of paintings include such things as a New Year's greeting, the carrying of a bridal chaise chair, a Chinese archer, a Chinese wedding (bride, groom, officiator), the painting of an idol, "idolatrous worship", an itinerant confectioner, silk spinning, a cobbler, tailors, hatters, money changers, street musicians, fortune telling, etc. etc. The women have bound feet, and generally one sees depicted here a China as it was in the mid-19th century. Twelve of the illustrations are fully, richly colored, while the balance of 14 illustrations have partial coloring -- always the flesh is colored in these, with some touches of blue. The artwork is disarmingly naive. We would conjecture that it was created by a Chinese hand, but we cannot say this as a certainty, and we would note that in our handling of numerous pith paper albums, and ones devoted to professions and activities, we had not seen any of the images contained in this album, suggesting the possibility of greater originality by the artist than characterizes other albums of Chinese watercolors from the same time period. The album itself is western made, and is a typical cloth bound scrap book album of the late Victorian period. This one has a color printed illustration of a desert scene as a centerpiece on the front cover -- this has no relation to the contents, nor does any of the blindstamped decoration surrounding it have relevance to the content. The album is lacking a spine, has loose, although not fully detached, boards, and leaves that are highly brittle and heavily toned.

Description
France (probably Besançon), 3rd quarter of 15th century. 239 x 165 mm. (9 3/8 x 6 1/2"). Single column, 15 lines in an elegant gothic book hand. Rubrics in dark pink, line enders in pink and blue with white tracery and gold bezant, several one-line initials and one two-line initial in burnished gold on dark pink and blue ground with white tracery, each side with a panel border composed of hairline vines with gold ivy and bezants, a few colorful flowers, and EACH FEATURING THE FACE OF A MAN EMITTING ACANTHUS LEAVES FROM HIS MOUTH. ◆A few tiny marginal spots, one of the faces slightly rubbed, otherwise IN BEAUTIFUL CONDITION. In addition to the floral decoration and vines often found in the borders of Books of Hours, this leaf features a duo of delightful inhabitants in the form of faces emitting colorful acanthus from their mouths. Each figure is individualized, the face on the recto with dark hair, flushed cheeks, and a prominent nose; on the verso is a face with a much paler complexion, a tonsured hairstyle, a large but very short nose, and fine, gray whiskers. This kind of imaginative work, together with luxurious touches such as the many gilt initials, several dozen gilt bezants and ivy leaves in each panel border, and the unusually wide margins, point to this manuscript having been a costly production.

2005. ISBN-13: 9781584774785; ISBN-10: 1584774789. "Probably the Best Modern History of a Particular Branch of English Law" Stephen, Sir James Fitzjames. A General View of the Criminal Law of England. Originally published: London: Macmillan and Co., 1863. xii, 499 pp. Reprinted 2005 The Lawbook Exchange, Ltd. ISBN-13: 9781584774785; ISBN-10: 1584774789. Hardcover. New. $44.95 * Reprint of the first edition. "When it appeared in 1883 it was probably the best modern history of a particular branch of English law that had yet appeared in England. It won high praise from Pollock and Maitland. English criminal law, they said, will be fortunate in its historians, `for it will fall into the hands of Matthew Hale and Fitzjames Stephen.' Though the more intensive study of the earlier history of our law has rendered some parts of it obsolete, it is still the best history of the later stages of the law. And it has another merit which it can never lose. The fact that its author was a practising lawyer and a judge, gives to his account of many parts of the law, and especially to his analysis of famous trials, the reality and vividness which comes of practical experience." --William S. Holdsworth, The Historians of Anglo-American Law 78. Sir James Fitzjames Stephen [1829-1894] was a distinguished and influential lawyer, judge, writer and law reformer. When he was the legal member of the Imperial Legislative Council in India, he drafted twelve acts and eight other enactments. Most of these, such as the Indian Evidence Act, are in force today. His 1878 Digest of Criminal Law, a codification, though never adopted in Great Britain, was the basis of the criminal codes of Canada, New Zealand and several colonies of Australia. Also a philosopher, he was a leading critic of John Stuart Mill.
