Description
1846. First Edition. DICKENS, Charles. Dealings with the Firm of Dombey and Son, Wholesale, Retail, and for Exportation. With Illustrations by H.K. Browne. London: Bradbury & Evans, 1846-48. Twenty parts in nineteen. Octavo, original green printed paper wrappers. Housed in custom cloth chemise and half morocco slipcase. $5500.First edition, first issue in scarce original parts of Dickens' novel of ""Pride,"" with 40 etchings by Hablôt Knight Browne (""Phiz""), including the famous first ""dark plate."" An excellent copy in the original parts, with all of the advertisements called for.For its inclusion of fairy-tale themes and the much discussed demise of Paul Dombey, Dombey and Son ""has a sense of the numinous, is more profoundly touched by the sense of last things, than any of Dickens' previous novels. It is larger in conception, so that human life is seen in terms of its beginning and its end, so that grief and forgiveness become more powerful forces within it… Dickens is aware of its status as art and provides here a simulacrum of human life touched by majesty and purpose"" (Ackroyd, 526). Dombey and Son ""was well received by its readers, and is considered to be the first novel that reflects Dickens's artistic maturity… Dickens told his first biographer, 'It was to do with Pride what its predecessor [Martin Chuzzlewit] has done with Selfishness"" (Schlicke, 280). Dombey and Son contains the first of Browne's so-called ""dark plates"" (""On the dark Road,"" in part 18), created by the engraver's lining machine and roulettes that tint the etched plate so as to heighten the contrast between black and white (Johannsen, Phiz, 309). First-issue text, with the following first-issue points: page 284 with ""Toot's Delight"" mentioned twice instead of ""Toot's Joy""; page 324 with ""Capatin"" on the last line; page 426 with blank space at the beginning of line 9; and two-line errata slip in the preliminary pages at the rear of Part 19/20, rather than eight. Text, preliminaries, and illustrations are all present, as are all wrappers. All advertisements called for are present. Hatton and Cleaver, 227-250. Only mild foxing to several plates, text generally clean. Some neat and unobtrusive repairs to several spines, light edge-wear and creasing to fragile paper wrappers, less than often seen. An exceptional copy in parts in the original wrappers, quite scarce and desirable with all advertisements.

Very Good
Description
New York / New Jersey / Connecticut, 1915. Softcover. Very Good. Oblong quarto measuring 10" x 7". Black cloth over flexible boards with two cut outs affixed to the cover. Contains 500 gelatin silver black and white or sepia toned photographs measuring between 0.5" x 0.5" and 6" x 8" with some captions. Small tears and chips on the pages with several detached from the spine but present, very good with fine photographs. A young man's scrapbook and photo album during his time living in New York, New Jersey, and Connecticut between 1904 and 1915. The first page features three men captioned, "The ‘Villan(sic)," "The Hero," and "The Comedian." These three men are seen throughout the album, especially the Villain and the Hero, as they are twin brothers. In one photograph there is a picture of both brothers with their younger sister sitting between them, "A rose between two thorns," captioned below. Most of the album features pictures of the young man spending time with friends, playing golf or tennis, driving his automobile, or playing the banjo. In several of the pictures he is seen working as a lifeguard and swimming or boating with his friends. Other photos show the interior and exterior of his family home near Sugar Loaf, New York. The book contains magazine and newspaper clippings as well as double exposure and hand cut photographs. The clippings range from cut outs of women and children, newspaper headers, small clips from articles, and poems. The young man had a pretty interesting life with several jobs and hobbies, one of which was his inclusions into the Royal Arch Masons, Chapter 265 with pamphlets tipped into the album. He also severed in a military band and later became a rifle ranger in Peekskill, New York and worked at the Orpheum Theatre in New York City. He worked as a lifeguard at the beaches and lakes near Rahway, New Jersey. And finally the album shows him settling in Stafford, Connecticut with his family and working at a car tire manufacturing shop. The oddest thing about the album is a few pages devoted to the women that the young man had some sort of romantic interest or activity with. He labels the pages as "Assorted Flavors" and "Ask the man who owns one" with over 50 women in total. Many of the photographs are posed, sometimes including himself with the women. He also has a couple pages devoted to several women he had longer relationships with, one of which is captioned, "A Safe and Sane Fourth" while another has a clipped poem about comfort next to one of the girl's pictures. On one page, he labels himself as "The Kiss Stealer," and is seen kissing a few different girls in each photo. An interesting scrapbook belonging to a young man from New York and detailing his life from 1904 through 1915, including his love interests, odd jobs, and misadventures.

Description
Paris: Arthus Bertrand, 1837. First French edition. Modern red buckram with gilt titles, rules, all edges. A very good copy, small tear to title page, scattered foxing, in fine binding.. viii, 198 pp. 8vo. Part 4 of 'Voyages, relations et mémoires originaux pour servir a l'histoire de la découverte de l'Amerique' edited by Henri Ternaux-Compans. Translation of the original work published in Salamanque in 1547. "This very rare work was reprinted by Barcia in his Historides Primitivos. It was written by one who knew personally the actors in the conquest of the Incas, and witnessed many of the great and sanguinary events which attended that wonderful change of dynasty. He becomes of course the apologist of the invaders, and endeavors to extenuate their deeds of rapine, destruction, and massacre," (Field, Indian Bibliography). Provenance: Copy of Albert J. Parreño, with his gilt initials stamped on spine. Sabin 105725. Field 1702. Palau 376914.
