Description
Boston and New York: Houghton, Mifflin and Company, 1896-1914. No. 59 of 350 COPIES of the Autograph Edition, SIGNED in the first volume BY THE AUTHOR and dated September 1896. 221 x 146 mm. (8 5/8 x 5 3/4"). 21 volumes.. HANDSOME DARK BROWN CRUSHED MOROCCO, GILT, FROM THE BINDERY OF THE RIVERSIDE PRESS (stamp-signed on verso of front free endpaper), covers with gilt fillet frame and large floral wreath at center, raised bands, spines gilt in compartments with Tudor rose centerpiece, gilt lettering, LIGHT GREEN MOROCCO DOUBLURES with pretty gilt frame, green watered silk endleaves, top edge gilt, other edges untrimmed, three volumes UNOPENED. Writings with title page vignettes and 134 PLATES, including 20 color frontispieces, portrait of the author, and 113 photogravure plates printed on India paper and mounted on heavy stock, at least one plate in each volume SIGNED in pencil by the artists, who include Frederic Remington, Charles Russell, M. J. Burns, Seymour M. Stone, Frederick McCormick, and Alice Barber Stephens; "Life" with frontispiece portrait and 16 plates. BAL 7384; BAL 7408. A touch of sunning to spines, but A SUPERB SET inside and out, with only the most trivial imperfections. Offered here in an expansive deluxe edition in sumptuous bindings, this is a collection of works by a premier chronicler of the American West and the California Gold Rush, a writer whose vivid and romantic depictions did much to contribute to the region's allure. According to Day, "Harte's West is one of picturesque melodrama, sentimentality amidst the sordid, a boisterous flotsam-and-jetsam society set against spectacular scenery. . . . His pervasive technique was contrast, physically among the bizarre admixture of humanity in contemporary California, and morally within individuals (favorite Harte subjects are gamblers and harlots with hearts of gold and blasphemous miners who would weep copious tears over Little Nell)." Harte was part of a vibrant San Francisco literary scene that included Mark Twain and Ambrose Bierce, and was also close to Ralph Waldo Emerson, James Russell Lowell, and Henry Wadsworth Longfellow. Our set is enhanced with illustrations by some of the leading artists of the West, including Frederic Remington and Charles Russell, who bring Harte's colorful characters, dramatic Western panoramas, and rowdy scenes to life. Our set was extravagantly bound at the Riverside Press bindery, and its yards of beautifully gilt crushed morocco make a striking appearance on the shelf. The "Writings" were issued in 19 volumes in 1896, followed by a 20th volume in 1903 and then Merwin's "Life" of Harte in 1914; not surprisingly, the set is frequently seen incomplete, without the two subsequent volumes that are present here..

Description
London: John Fairburn, [1809]. Exceptionally Rare in the Original Pink Paper Wrappers Initialed by George Cruikshank on the Front Wrapper [CRUIKSHANK, George]. The Jubilee of 1809, containing a poetical epistle, from John Lump, to his brother in Yorkshire. Also an account of the grand entertainment at Cabbage Merchants' hall. With songs... By the author of the Whale!! With a coloured Caricature Print of two of the celebrated City Chaunters. London, John Fairburn, [n.d., 1809]. First edition of this anti-ministerial satire in verse and prose. Octavo (8 5/8 x 5 1/2 inches; 219 x 140 mm.). 28 pp. Folding hand colored etched frontispiece in two sections "Col. Patty-Pan" & "Sir John Sugar-Stick" dated "October 1809". Publisher's plain pink wrappers, front cover with the ink initials of George Cruikshank. Front wrapper and folding frontispiece detached. Frontispiece a little stained and with some tears at fold, wrappers slightly chipped at extremities. Still a very good copy of a very rare and fragile Cruikshank item. "G. Cruikshank informed Reid that the whole of this plate, with the exception of the faces and hands, was his unaided work. The Widener copy is autographed: By Isaac Cruikshank, some parts by me, Geo. Cruikshank." (Cohn, p. 135). The work is a violent satire on Birch, who was a pastry-cook, in Cornhill, and Eames, a grocer, who were both volunteer officers "The folding frontispiece to The Jubilee, Alias Jew Belly, of 1809, contains two designs divided by a vertical line. 1. Alderman Birch, wearing uniform with cocked hat, gorget, boots, and apron, with a birch-rod in place of a sword, sells pies from a basket on legs, forming a portable stall. At his waist is a paper inscribed No Popery. A ragged, dwarfish, and deformed man (right), with a bundle of (?) matches, holds a coin as if about to spin it; he looks up at Birch, who cries Up & Win'em, asking Did you cry vomans [the reverse of a coin] vat your'e fond of. 2. Alderman Earner (not Eames) stands behind a counter, similarly dressed, but wearing shoes and wrinkled stockings, and with a stick of sugar-cane in place of a sword. He weighs out tea for an old woman in a red cloak (left) who says: a Quarter of an Ounce of Tea Dust directly. He answers: Don't hurry me woman I'm Sir John. On the floor on a pile of Waste Paper is an open book: Preachee and Floggee too... Other papers are inscribed Wood Street. Behind him are large canisters and sugar-loaves." (British Museum). Exceptionally rare in the original wrappers. This copy appeared at Parke-Bernet Galleries, NY. [Property of Mrs. Leslie Chaundy] February 18/19th, 1942. (Patten I, 45.- Cohn, 457.

Description
New York: Abrams, 1966. Very good.. Inscribed first edition of this founding document of performance and environmental art - the first such work by a major publisher, Abrams. A founding document of performance and environmental art, and the first by a major publisher, Kaprow's ASSEMBLAGE, ENVIRONMENTS & HAPPENINGS was originally planned as an official Fluxus publication (see CODEX p. 288), but eventually evolved into this broader book. Artists covered include Robert Rauschenberg, Claes Oldenburg, Red Grooms, and George Segal, with contributions from Wolf Vostell, George Brecht, Kaprow and others. The recipient is almost certainly photojournalist Paul Berg, whose photos are included in this volume and fall roughly where Kaprow suggests they should (though there is no such plate 164). Berg photographed and covered Kaprow's happening "Push and Pull" for the ST. LOUIS POST DISPATCH in 1963. The uncommon hardcover issue of this important resource, it is scarce signed, especially with any kind of association. 12'' x 12''. Original brown burlap covered boards. Lacking original clear vinyl jacket. Black endpapers. 341, [3] pages. Inscribed by Kaprow to early preliminary: "For Paul on / his birthday - / A nostalgic / time in which / you played a / part (see pl. / 164 somewhere / deep inside!) / - in friendship / Allan K." Sunning to lower edges, spine faded. Else clean and sound throughout.

Boston: Rogers and Fowle, for Samuel Eliot, 1744. 54pp, lacking the half title and final blank. Disbound, minor repair [expertly accomplished] to a small portion of the last leaf [no loss]. Good+. This significant Great Awakening Sermon supports the established "Body of the Ministers" and opposes "meer Novices [who] may take upon them the Office of the ministry, expecting the Bestowment of the Spirit, in extraordinary Gifts; as in the Days of the Apostles..." He cautions ministers against "extempore Discourses." Chauncy "was undoubtedly the most influential clergyman of his time in Boston, and, with the exception of Jonathan Edwards, in all New England." DAB. He was Edwards's most influential opponent of the Great Awakening and was, as DAB puts it, "a man of the intellect utterly distrusting the emotions as calculated to befog and pervert the mind."

2009. ISBN-13: 9781584778974; ISBN-10: 1584778970. With a New Introduction by Paul Mitchell Sheppard, W[illiam]. Action Upon the Case for Slander. Or a Methodical Collection Under Certain Heads, of Thousands of Cases Dispersed in the Many Great Volumns [sic] of Law, of What Words Are Actionable, and What Not. And of a Conspiracy, and a Libel. Being a Treatise of Very Great Use and Consequence to All Men, Especially in These Times, Wherein Actions for Slander are More Common Then in Times Past. With an Exact Table Annexed, For the Ready Finding Out any Thing Therein. Originally published: London: Printed for Ch. Adams, F. Starkey, & T. Basset, 1662. xv, [viii], [198] pp. Reprinted 2009 by The Lawbook Exchange, Ltd. With a new introduction by Paul Mitchell, Professor of Laws, Faculty of Laws, University College of London. ISBN-13: 9781584778974. ISBN-10: 1584778970. Attractive Smyth sewn burgandy cloth bound hardcover with gilt stamped spine and front cover. New. $95. * Reprint of the first edition. Sheppard's Action Upon the Case for Slander and William March's Actions for Slaunder (1647) were the first two books to address the topic. As indicated by its preface, Sheppard's is especially interesting. " this Age, the iniquity of the Tongue, that little Member, set on fire by Hell, is not the least; And among the evils of the Tongue, is there any more pernicious and deadly, and yet more common and epidemical then Backbiting and Slander? (...) It is true, that in former times, wee finde Actions of the Case for Slanderous words very rarely brought; which speaks this much, that such words were then very rarely spoken. But in these daies they are become almost as natural to men, as their language and discourse; and therefore the disease, so deeply rooted, and over-spreading, calls for the application of the Remedy, which our Law doth abundantly furnish us withall. And hence it is, I have been encouraged to ingage in this work; which is nothing else but a naked and Methodical Collection of the remedies prescribed by the Law against this Malady.
