Condition: Very good
Description: Paris: [Mme Huzard for] J.-S. Merlin, 1828. First Edition. Very good. 8vo. x, 530 pp., 1 f. (advertisement), 5245 lots described. Bound by Kohler in contemporary smooth quarter calf, marbled boards (front cover bumped at fore-edge, flat spine divided by gilt fillets into six compartments, title and date lettered direct, marbled pastedowns and endpapers. Unidentified monogram on first blank leaf "F.J." (not in Lugt). PRICED COPY of the sale catalogue of the library belonging to the late Louis-Marie-Joseph Duriez (1753-1825), comprising at least 46 illuminated Books of Hours, together with an illuminated 15th-century "Mirroir de l'humaine salvation" (2860 FF), early French vernacular prose, a 1497 Bible once in the possession of Mary Stuart, some finely bound Aldines. Lot 5 is a mid-13th century illuminated English (Oxford?) Bible; lot 2230 is an illuminated La Pelerinage de Vie Humaine ca. 1470. The entries record noteworthy binders' names such as Bozérian, Derome, and their contemporaries, as well as important provenance, illumination, and copies on vellum. The Prince d'Essling bought heavily at this sale. From p. [vii]: "To announce the catalogue of the library of a Member of the Society of French Bibliophiles is to grant the public the right to expect a collection that is remarkable -- whether for the beauty of its editions and the luxury of its bindings, or for that assemblage -- always so difficult to form -- of those bibliographical curiosities whose vein seems to grow ever more depleted with each passing day" (translation ours). PRINTED BY MADAME HUZARD (born 1766 as Marie-Rosalie Vallat-la-Chapelle) who formed one third of a dynasty of women printers on the rue de l'Éperon, Paris. She was the daughter of Marie-Catherine and Pierre Vallat-la-Chappelle. In 1792 she married Jean-Baptiste Huzard who, interestingly, was not printer-publisher but a professor of veterinary studies and inspector general. They combined their talents to become one of the foremost publishers of works on veterinary medicine and agriculture. "Her choice to use both her husband's and her mother's name demonstrates how she drew on both sets of connections to build a strong business, and hints at her long involvement in the trade from before her marriage" (Scott Ellwood, "One Dynasty, Three Names," blog on the Grolier Club wordpress site, 2019). Marie-Rosalie died in 1842, a wealthy woman, well respected by her peers. North, Grolier Club 597. Lugt, Repertoire 11616.

Title: No. 122 In the Supreme Court of the United States October Term, 1929 Federal Radio Commission, Petitioner v. General Electric Company and People of the State of New York On Writ of Certiorari to the Court of Appeals of the District of Columbia Brief for Petitioner Bethuel M. Webster, Jr. General Counsel, Paul M. Segal, Assistant General Counsel
Seller: Michael Brown Rare Books, LLC (United States)
Description: first edition, octavo, vii, 159 pp., ex-library, handstamp on front wrap, removed from bound pamphlet volume, lacking rear wrapper, else a good copy. This is the brief of The Federal Radio Commission, the petitioner in the case. The General Electric Company owned and was operating a broadcasting station at Schenectady, N. Y., when the Radio Act of 1927 went into effect. Thereafter it sought and obtained from the commission successive licenses under that act for the further operation of the station. The last license was issued November 1, 1927, for that calendar month and was prolonged until November 11, 1928, by successive short extensions. January 14, 1928, the company made application for a renewal of that license. The application was not acted upon until October 12, 1928, and then the commission ordered that a license be not issued with terms like those of the existing license, but that one be issued with other terms much less advantageous to the company and the communities which it was serving; the chief change being a pronounced reduction in the admissible hours of service. The company regarded this order as a refusal of its application for a renewal of the existing license and prosecuted an appeal, under section 16 of the act of 1927 (47 USCA § 96), to the Court of Appeals of the District of Columbia. After a hearing that court found from the record returned by the commission that public convenience, interest, and necessity would be served by renewing the existing license without change in its terms, and on that basis held that such a renewal should be granted and that the proceeding should be remanded to the commission with a direction to carry the court's decision into effect. Costs were assessed against the commission. 58 App. D. C. 386, 31 F.(2d) 630. On the petition of the commission certiorari was then granted by this court 280 U. S. 537, 50 S. Ct. 20, 74 L. Ed. —. Our jurisdiction to review the decision of the Court of Appeals is challenged.
