Octavo, original blue paper boards and paper spine, hand-lettered spine label, uncut; pp. (1-5), 6-385, (7). $3200.Very scarce 1810 edition of NY Justice Horsmanden's account of the alleged 1741 conspiracy—""unquestionably false… [yet] the most important single source of information"" on the mass arrests, trials and executions of enslaved and free Black colonists, with 13 burned at the stake, 17 hanged and 84 men and women sold into slavery, to one historian, ""the biggest lynching in the history of America,"" rare uncut in original boards.""The 1741 New York conspiracy trials and the 1692 Salem witchcraft trials had much in common. Except that what happened in 1741 was worse, and has been almost entirely forgotten."" At a time when ""New York was a slave city,"" enslaved and free African Americans were suspected of forging uprisings and ""an ever-threatening revolution."" In 1741 when the colony's Fort George caught fire and burned down, followed by other fires, Black men and women were targeted and mass arrests followed. ""Tried and convicted before the colony's Supreme Court, 13 Black men were burned at the stake. Seventeen more were hanged… one jailed man cut his own throat. Another 84 men and women were sold"" into slavery in the Caribbean (Lepore, New York Burning, xvii-xii). To historian Roi Ottley, it stands as ""the biggest lynching in the history of America"" (Szaaz, New York Slave Revolt, 215).New York Supreme Court Justice Horsmanden, who ""staked his reputation on the investigation, was outraged"" when some colonists suggested the conspiracy was a fiction. His answer to critics was swift publication of this account. On nearly every page, Horsmanden's ""fiery racial hatred"" is clear (Lepore xviii) and what he wrote ""is unquestionably false."" Yet, with certain evidence still unclear and debated, this remains ""the most important single source of information… any analysis of the revolt must begin and end"" with Horsmanden (Szaaz, 216-17. emphasis added). Colonial ""New York is not America, but what happened in that 18th-century slave city tells one story, and a profoundly troubling one, of how slavery destabilized—and created—American politics… fear of Black rebellion and the embrace of opposition, like liberty and slavery, traveled with the same tide"" (Lepore, xviii, 219). Copies of the 1744 first edition, titled Journal of the Proceedings, are virtually unobtainable; this second edition, issued in 1810, remains the primary source. Sabin 33060. Howes H652. Church 951. Block 9787 (2nd edition). Work, 349 (2nd edition). Early library bookplate with deaccession number; early library inkstamp to title page with several faint marginal inkstamps within; spine with partial shelf lable.Text very fresh, title page with early paper repair to marginal loss, not affecting lettering; light edge-wear, mild soiling to boards.

The poet Bentivoglio was educated at the court of his uncle Alfonso I d'Este. A friend of Ariosto and a talented musician, his talents lay rather in reflexion and observation than in action, and he viewed the diplomatic charges forced upon him as onerous and a distraction from his literary pursuits. This collection of six satires, each to a different dedicatee, and several other poems, all written around 1530, is considered his most accomplished work. The first satire mocks older men who fall in love and make a woman the center of their lives. The second is a bitter look at war, specifically atrocities committed by the Spanish during the siege of Florence in 1529. The third satire, dedicated to the well-known physician Antonio Musa, mocks the ignorance of those who declare themselves doctors having read neither Aristotle, Plato, Avicenna or Galen, but only "two recipes and Donato's writing rules" (due recette et le regole a pena di Donato, f. 7r), and advises the ailing to let nature run its course or to abide by the tried and true remedies of their forebears. In Satire IV Bentivoglio turns a withering gaze on avarice and counsels moderation of one's material and emotional desires. Satire VI, dedicated to his brother, provides a detailed autobiographical picture of the daily life of a Ferrarese gentleman of leisure, describing a balanced life of study, physical exercise and social diversion; and the final satire returns to the theme of the golden mean. The other pieces include an 8-page poem in praise of cheese (Del Formaggio), "il primo nutrimento humano," without which no meal is complete. As India has its armed elephants, so beautiful Lombardy has its astounding cheeses (types, smells and savors are enumerated), and "certo'l formaggio è cibo celeste." Bound second is Morato's popular dictionary or concordance of rhymes in Dante and Petrarch, the first rhyming dictionary in Italian (first ed. Venice 1529). This edition is scarce (it is not to be confused with another Venice 1546 edition published by the brothers da Sabbio). The copy passed through several distinguished collections. Robert Samuel Turner was "an extremely refined collector of the Beckford type, a great connoisseur of French, Italian and Spanish books" (de Ricci, English Collectors, 164). George Dunn, of Wooley Hall, Maidenhead, "had a most carefully selected series" of early printed books (ibid., 183), and was one of the first bibliophiles to pay attention to early bindings. Of the great Giuseppe Martini, bookseller, scholar and collector of Italian literature, much has been written (and he was the subject of a colloquium held in Lucca in 2014). His habit of writing notes and comments (in pencil) in the books that passed through his hands makes his books instantly recognizable. 1) EDIT-16 CNCE 5340; Bongi, Giolito 135; BM/STC Italian 84. Cf. DBI 8:615-18. 2) EDIT-16 CNCE 59160; cf. Fowler, Petrarch Collection, p. 375 (other 1546 edition).

Description
07/05/1866. Moses Sherwood Stuyvesant was in the Class of 1860. He was assigned to the U.S.S. Cumberland as aide to Commodore George J. Pendergrast, the Cumberland being his flagship. When war erupted the vessel went to Norfolk, Virginia. While there, the Navy Yard was partly destroyed and abandoned, and the Cumberland was placed on blockade duty, and took part in the capture of Forts Hatteras and Clark. Writing of this last, Stuyvesant calls attention to the fact that ""it was probably the last fight in which a ship was handled under sail. All other vessels present were steamships…” On March 8, 1862, the old frigate Cumberland was sunk by the powerful guns of the ironclad Merrimac. This was a historic event and saw an epic clash between old and new technology. Stuyvesant reportedly refused to let the flag come down: ""No, the ship will sink in fifteen minutes, and she will look a d-d sight better with her flag up."" In this battle he was wounded in the arm and commanded two crews of survivors who manned land guns during the next day's battle between the Monitor and the Merrimac. He later wrote a famous paper describing the sinking of the Cumberland. In 1862, he was a Lieutenant with the U.S. Steam Sloop Housatonic. In early 1864, the Housatonic, was outside Charleston when the CSS submarine Hunley paddled out and sent her to the bottom. He was then assigned to the Monitor Weehawken. The Weehawken sank at her anchors while off Charleston, Stuyvesant being the last to leave her. His next duty was on the U.S. Steam Frigate Minnesota, then in Hampton Roads, Virginia, and he was with her in both attacks on Fort Fisher in December 1864 and January 1865.In 1866, he was assigned to the double turreted U.S. Steamer Miantonomah, and, as her Commander, then having the rank of Lieutenant Commander, he made with her the memorable cruise across the Atlantic and through the North Sea, the Baltic and then through the Mediterranean, in 1866 and 1867. This was part of a visit to Russia ordered by Congress.This is Stuyvesant’s promotion as Lieutenant Commander, signed by President Andrew Johnson. Document signed, with engravings of Neptune, flags, an eagle, and the sea and ships, Washington, May 7, 1866. “Reposing special trust and confidence in the patriotism, valor, fidelity and abilities of Moses S. Stuyvesant, I have nominated, and with the advice and consent of the Senate, do appoint him a Lieutenant Commander in the Navy, from the 11th day of April 1866.” This is the rank he held when he made his famed trip across the Atlantic in 1866.It is unusual to find a military appointment to such a high rank. We obtained this from the Stuyvesant descendants, and it has never before been offered for sale.

Near fine.
Description
New York, 2008. Near fine.. A rich series of collages and assemblages with thoroughly referential pop-art sensibilities. The artist's identity is unknown: aside from a recurring signature ("T" followed by a five-pointed star), the only relevant information is the dedication: "N.Y. 3/20/08 / This Book / Is / Dedicated / To / My Son / Rocky / He Has Been The / Only True Inspira / tion For Me.. / I Love You!! / Forever / Tiziana [?]." The untitled book's collages and three-dimensional assemblages use a wide variety of materials (plastic, paint, printed transparency, markers, toys), and stylistically evoke a kind of lowbrow pop art, or even pop-punk, with a particular emphasis on fashion design (images of T-shirts, purses, and jeans abound). Recurring symbols include skulls, guns, movie/concert posters, album covers, and icons borrowed from other pop artists, including Richard Prince's bunny skull and Warhol's banana. The book's style brings to mind a kind of retro fashion boutique, though Tiziana's references are so motley and obscure that they would resist such easy marketing; for example, a poster for the film ROLLERBALL starring James Caan and several little-known comic book heroes are also included. The book belies a certain '80s nostalgia -- be it for punk (Misfits, Tuxedomoon) or film (a collaged purse bearing the likeness of Kurt Russell from ESCAPE FROM NEW YORK) -- and seems to have been designed by someone with a keen interest in fashion design, due to the multiplicity of clothing depicted. Altogether, an ornate, elaborate, and consistently surprising outsider book. Hardcover. Quarto. Spiral-bound boards. (24) leaves of black cardstock, plus covers. All surfaces covered with two- and three-dimensional elements. Appears complete. Traces of dust/rubbing to covers, else clean and unmarred inside and out.

Stengel was inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame in 1966.
