Description: [Augsburg]: [Heinrich Steiner], 1523. One of 3 printings by Steiner in the year of the first edition. Hardcover. Fine. A very nice copy, stab-stiched in drab 20th c. wrappers. With an attractive woodcut title border (Pflugk-Hartung 23). Light maginal fingersoiling to title, blank verso of final leaf lightly soiled. . Two early marginal notes in ink in the blank margin of the title. With a duplicate stamp from the Stadtbibliothek Nürnberg on the rear inner cover. The "Eight Sermons by Dr. M. Luther, preached by him at Wittenberg in Lent, dealing briefly with the masses, images, both kinds in the sacrament, eating [of meats], and private confession, etc." document Luther's efforts to counteract the chaos in Wittenberg that had been caused by Andreas Rudolff-Bodenstein von Karlstadt (ca. 1480-1541), who had instituted radical reforms while Luther was in hiding at the Wartburg. During Luther's stay in Wartburg Castle, Karlstadt became the head of the reform movement at Wittenberg. Over the course of a year, Karlstadt instituted radical changes in all aspects of religious life. As the leader of the Wittenberg movement and the head of the Wittenberg theological faculty, Karlstadt was in a unique position to both pronounce and enact changes within the church. He instituted most of his larger reforms with the support of the theologians and the city magistrates. These changes to established forms (particularly the institution of the reformed mass) displeased the Elector of Saxony, however, and by March 6th 1522, Luther would return (at the Elector's request) to take control of the Wittenberg movement. Prior to Luther's return, however, Wittenberg would see troubling public manifestations of the new reforms, as a radicalized populace took to the streets in the infamous "Wittenberg disturbances." "In December, 1521, Luther returned secretly to Wittenberg from the Wartburg for a three day conference on how to meet the turbulence and confusion caused by the radical reformers. Soon after his return to the Wartburg, Karlstadt put himself at the head of those who favored immediate abolition of Roman practices. At Christmas Karlstadt administered communion "in both kinds"(i.e. by giving both the consecrated host and the wine to the laity) for the first time in the parish church. This had been done as early as September in the Augustinian monastery where Gabriel Zwilling conducted mass in the vernacular and abolished private masses. Karlstadt also declared that confession before communion was unnecessary, that images were not allowable in the church, and that rules of fasting were not binding, and this led to outbreaks of actual destruction of images and altars. He also taught the doctrine of direct illumination by the Spirit, which made scholarship and learning unnecessary for the understanding of the Scriptures. The consequence was that the city schools were closed and the university threatened with collapse. Allied with Karlstadt's followers were the Zwickau prophets, Storch, Drechsel, and Stübner, adherents of Thomas Münzer. "Luther, who hitherto had relied upon Melanchthon's leadership to keep order, returned to Wittenberg on March 6. On March 8 he conferred with Melanchthon, Justus Jonas, Nicholas Amsdorf, and Hieronymus Schurf. On March 9, Invocavit Sunday, he mounted the pulpit in the parish church and preached each day from the ninth to the sixteenth. This remarkable series of sermons, which are powerful, inspired preaching of the gospel, had the effect of restoring tranquility and order almost at once. His task was to lead his congregation away from fanatical enthusiasm back to the spirit of the gospel and to answer the questions that were agitating his people in the light of the gospel. (Further details may be found in an excellent introduction to the sermons in PE 2, 387-390 and in the biographies of Luther and the church histories.). The sermons were transcribed by an unknown amanuensis."(Doberstein, Luther Works Vol. 51).

Seller: Type Punch Matrix (United States)
Condition: Very good.
Description: New York: Review of Review Co, 1911. Third issue. Very good.. First edition of this towering landmark of Civil War history, "the grandfather of pictorial histories" (Eicher) with nearly 3400 photographs of battlefields, artillery, enlisted personnel and officers, prisons, hospitals, camps, and maps, with text by veterans. While images from the Mexican-American War (1846-48) and the Crimean War (1853-56) exist, no conflict prior to the American Civil War was so extensively captured via the new medium of photography. Photographers in both the North and the South - including Mathew Brady, Alexander Gardner, Timothy O'Sullivan, George S. Cook, McPherson & Oliver - distilled for public audiences the brutality of battle and its shattering aftereffects in ways little seen before: "If [they have] not brought bodies and laid them in our door-yards and along streets, [they have] done something very like it[.]" Published to coincide with the 50th anniversary of the War's beginning, PHOTOGRAPHIC HISTORY OF THE CIVIL WAR gathered thousands of images - many published here for the first time - from historical societies, universities, various state and federal governmental departments, and the general public itself. Each of the ten volumes groups material thematically: (1) The Opening Battles, (2) Two Years of Grim War, (3) The Decisive Battles, (4) The Cavalry, (5) Forts and Artillery, (6) The Navies, (7) Prisons and Hospitals, (8) Soldier Life / Secret Service, (9) Poetry and Eloquence, and (10) Armies and Leaders. The bedrock of any Civil War collection. Increasingly scarce in such collectible condition. 10 volumes, 11'' x 8.5''. Original blue "silk" cloth with blind-stamped military regalia to front board and gilt-lettered spine. Top edges gilt. Patterned endpapers with vignette portraits of Grant & Lee (front) and Lincoln & Davis (rear). Volume 10 with third issue index. Pages ranging from about 320-370 each. Light wear to spine ends, minor rubbing to boards with a few spots of soil, light scattered foxing to fore-edges and some front matter. Volume 9 with abrasion to lower corner of rear board. Bright overall.

Title: THE DANCE OF DEATH PAINTED BY H. HOLBEIN AND ENGRAVED BY W. HOLLAR [bound with] THE DANCE OF MACABER
Seller: The Book Block (United States)
Description: [London James Edwards, 1789]. 8vo., very handsome full polished calf with a series of decorative borders (gilt and blind) in the manner of Edwards of Halifax; spine with five raised bands and a black morocco label with gilt and blind decoration within the compartments. A.e.g., pink endleaves.Based upon Holbein's original 15th century designs, Wenceslaus Hollar, the Bohemian etcher born in Prague in 1607 created copper plates for his own Dance of Death. In 1647 an edition of 30 copperplates was brought out in London; another edition from these plates was published in 1651. The plates then disappeared from sight until the late 18th century when several editions from the "newly discovered" plates began to appear. The copperplates apparently came into the hands of an English family of nobility, from whom the bookseller, Edwards, obtained them. We have compared the plates of our edition with the plates of the ALSO SCARCE 1804 edition (printed by C. Whittingham for John Harding) and with the more common 1816 edition (printed by B. McMillan for J. Coxhead) and notice unmistakable differences in small details, which may be the result of the copperplates having been "rebitten with great care," according to Douce, or entirely recut.The title-page of our edition carries no place, date of publication, or publisher's name. We have inferred, however, that is it the 1789 printing of the plates (before the rebiting); the 1794 Edwards edition (See: No. 249 in the Minns Catalogue) is described thus, "Printed from the original plates rebitten with great care to prevent injury in the retouching."See: Warthin, A. The Physician of the Dance of Death. pp. 72-76. Douce, F. Holbein's Dance of Death. pp. 111-113. IN QUITE A FINE BINDING

Author: [Crime - Texas - New Orleans] Andrews, Edmund
Seller: Auger Down Books (United States)
Condition: Fine
Description: Republic of Texas, 1838. Stampless letter, folded, with red two-line handstamp of Steam Packet Columbia on January 16, 1838 from Brazoria Tex. to New Orleans. Fine condition. Fine. An intriguing letter written by Edmund Andrews, a judge in Brazoria, Texas, who had arrived in Stephen Austin’s colony eight years before he penned this, in 1830. The letter is written to John K. West, the New Orleans attorney who was an original member of the notorious “New Orleans Associates.” Andrews discusses a conversation he had on behalf of West with John Austin Wharton, who would die later in 1838, relating that Andrews had a conversation with Wharton on West’s behalf. The conversation with Wharton revolved around a man with the last name Chase and Andrew Mills, who had both left Texas, presumably, and traveled to Kingston, Jamaica, where Mills was hanged for an undisclosed crime. Andrews writes that Wharton related that that Mills told him he “would not have done it if he had not been drunk,” presumably talking about the crime for which he was hanged. Overall a very intriguing letter relating to crime, exile and misdeeds in the Republic of Texas, which should be of interest to scholars of the Republic. Full text follows: Brazoria, Jan'y 16, 1838 Mr. John K. West Sir, Since I wrote to you in reply to yours under date 19th ulto., I have seen Col. John A. Wharton upon the subject contained in your favor. He says he does not recollect who the person was referred to in yours, but recollects to have heard Haney speak of it, and says, he, Haney told him that he actually saw Andrew Mills hung and says he described the rope he was hung with. Col. Wharton seems to think Haney's statement entitled to credit. These facts can be known, if they are really facts, by sending a commission to Kingston, Jamaica, for although both Chase and Mills had no doubt assumed names, yet a person of so much notoriety as Capt. John Chase must have been known to some there. Haney said Mills begged him when he saw him in Kingston never to make known his fate and that he would not have done it if [he] had not been drunk. The foregoing is the substance of the conversation held with Col. J. A. Wharton. I am yours truly, Edmund Andrews.

Seller: Auger Down Books (United States)
Description: Chicago: Poole Brothers, 1917. Folding map measuring 38 ½ x 26 ¾ inches. Tape repairs to verso, some tears at folds and edges, still bring and attractive, good to very good overall with excellent restoration potential. A map of the canneries in Alaska, British Columbia and Washington operated by the Deming and Gould Company, who were influential in the growth of the Alaskan salmon trade. The map’s date of printing, 1917, suggests that perhaps it was related to the war effort, as salmon demand increased during this period. The Demings, based in Chicago, were influential in the growth of the salmon trade in Alaska and the Pacific Northwest, founding Pacific American Fisheries Inc. in 1899 and continuing in various iterations until their sale of the firm in 1934 due to president E.B. Deming’s ailing health. The map shows seventeen different canneries, several on the Alaska peninsula and the one in Bellingham. We find no record of this imprint, only a later and small version held at the University of Washington.

Seller: Fantasy Illustrated (United States)
Condition: Very Good+
Description: All-American Fiction The complete run including issues combined with Argosy All-American Fiction Magazine was a publication of the Frank A. Munsey Company out of New York. This was a sister publication of their flag ship title Argosy Weekly. After the eight issue run Munsey folded it into Argosy Weekly with a "combined with the All-American Fiction Magazine" blurb under the Argosy logo on each cover beginning with the September 24 1938 issue. The first issue of the "combo" had a huge banner across the cover art proclaiming "The Famous Writers and Best Features of All-American Fiction Now Combined with Argosy." This went on for 13 issues ending with the 9-17-38 release thus ending after three months. I don't think this changed up the offerings much, as All-American was basically the same general fiction magazine as Argosy. Munsey was probably just trying to grasp more retail rack space with the additional title. Many famous collectible authors were represented here including Cornell Woolrich, H. Bedford-Jones, Max Brand, Richard Sale, Theodore Roscoe and others. The final issue contained part one of Beat To Quarters by C. S. Forester. At the end of part one there is a large blurb advertising the fact that succeeding chapters will appear weekly beginning with the September 24 issue of argosy. In order to entice readers to segue to Argosy this chapter was reprinted in the September 17, 1938 issue also and continued into the combo issues until the six part story was completed. A bit of unusual promotion I would say. $1,495.00 All-American Fiction Magazine Nov 1937 #1 (FN), Dec 1937 #2 (VG-), Jan 1938 #3 (FN), Feb 1938 (FN), Mar-Apr 1938 (FN-), May-Jun (int. tp.
