Title: Manuscript archive of the organizer of the auction of the collections of the Osada family in Osaka
Author: KAJIMAYA OSADA SAKUBEI 加島屋長田作兵衛 AUCTION
Seller: Jonathan A. Hill, Bookseller, Inc. (United States)
Description: Osaka: 1868. The Osada Sakubei merchant family in Osaka, one of the wealthiest of that great business city, was founded in 1626. Initially rice brokers, they soon expanded into the very lucrative business of providing loans to powerful feudal lords (daimyō). With the establishment of the Meiji Restoration in 1868 and the abolition of the domain system, the traditional function of Japanese merchant banks was transformed, and the Osada Sakubei, unable to adapt by finding other clients, went bankrupt in 1874, due to the high number of unpaid debts from the feudal domains. As their business collapsed, the family’s first step to raise funds was to sell their collection of art and cultural items, which included tea ceremony tools, luxury furnishings, paintings, vertical scrolls, many notable porcelains, etc. This collection of materials is related to the auction, which took place on 23 August 1868 (Keiō 4), considered an auspicious day by its organizer, Funaya Hisatarō 船屋久太郎 (also known as Funakyū 船久). 1. The wrapper for this archive is entitled on the upper side in manuscript “Osaka Osada shi dōgu nyūsatsu” 大阪長田氏道具入札 (“Auction for Mr. Osada’s Collection in Osaka”). The wrapper is charming, with the original flaps and string ties. 2. “Rakusatsu chō” 落札帳 (“Results & Buyers’ Names”). This manuscript contains the final prices for the lots, brief descriptions of the items, and buyers’ names. Each has the seal of approval. 89 folding leaves, 8vo (245 x 172 mm.), orig. self-wrappers, stitched as issued. 3. “Kaozuke chō” 顔付帳 (“Agenda of Preliminary Meetings”). The auctioneers’ staff had meetings on 21, 22, and 23 August, and this is the list of tasks and who was responsible. 4 folding leaves, oblong agenda format (125 x 345 mm.), orig. self-wrappers, stitched as issued. 4. “Nyūsatsu dōgu atetzuke chō” 入札道具当付帳 (“Items for Bidding, Gathered”). The inventory of the sale with lot numbers and object descriptions, followed by trade symbols, which we cannot decipher. 21 folding leaves, oblong agenda format (125 x 324 mm.), orig. self-wrappers, stitched as issued. 5. “Takajime chō” 高〆帳 (“Tally Book”). A fascinating document providing the names of the buyers and the sums of their purchases. 6 folding leaves, oblong agenda format (125 x 347 mm.), orig. self-wrappers, stitched as issued. 6. “Mawashi banzuke chō” 廻シ番付帳 (“Seating Arrangement & Final Bids Register”). The hierarchical seating arrangement is still observed at Japanese book auctions. 13 folding leaves, oblong agenda format (125 x 347 mm.), orig. self-wrappers, stitched as issued. 7. “Kinsen shutsunyū chō” 金銭出入帳 (“Receipts & Payments Account Book”). 4 folding leaves, oblong agenda format (125 x 347 mm.), orig. self-wrappers, stitched as issued. 8. “Zatsuyō chō” 雑用帳 (“Miscellaneous Memoranda”). 4 folding leaves, oblong agenda format (125 x 347 mm.), orig. self-wrappers, stitched as issued. 9. “…Sho nyūyō to kōkoku nado uchiawase” 諸入用と広告など打合せ (“Memoranda of Matters Related to Advertisements and Miscellaneous Subjects”). The expenses for advertising the sale. 4 folding leaves, oblong agenda format (123 x 325 mm.), orig. self-wrappers, orig. stitching. 10. A bundle of 14 sheets, tied at head with the original string, of invoices and receipts. Some appear with names, their seals, addresses, and company names. Fine condition. Archives of this sort rarely survive.

Title: DR. SCOTT, THE VIGILANCE COMMITTEE AND THE CHURCH. A LECTURE BY W. CARROLL, DELIVERED IN MUSICAL HALL, SAN FRANCISCO, OCT. 12, 1856
Author: [Wiegand, Conrad]
Seller: David M. Lesser, Fine Antiquarian Books LLC (United States)
Description: San Francisco: Whitton, Towne & Co, 1856. 52pp. Disbound with light to moderate foxing, Good+. Wiegand, who entered the copyright, was the 25-year old assayer of the U.S. Mint in San Francisco. He published this Lecture, under the pseudonym ' W. Carroll,' to answer the "vituperations" of his critics; and to raise money for himself "on the eve of being turned out of office for the exercise of my constitutionally guaranteed rights as a free American citizen." Wiegand had come to the defence of Reverend Scott who, virtually alone among area clergy, had denounced the Vigilance Committee and its "Lynch law court." Though he supports the Committee, Wiegand opposes the harsh proscription of Dr. Scott. In the course of this lengthy lecture, he arraigns "the lamentable corruption of our public Press" and many powerful people, including federal authorities. These include especially his boss, J. Ross Browne, who would fire him, and "those poor miserable drivellers, the Gwins, the Wellers, and the minor lights, who tormented Mr. Browne into such action." Wiegand's combative nature evidently was unnoticed when he later moved to Nevada. In the Appendix of 'Roughing It', Mark Twain calls him a "lamb." FIRST EDITION. Cohen 4205. Rocq 12820. Cowan 682.

Author: [TOBACCO PROHIBITION IN ITALY]
Seller: Michael Laird Rare Books LLC (United States)
Condition: Very good
Description: Sicily, Naples and Turin, 1764. Very good. Together 6 items: 1 broadside (46 x 34.5 cm) + 5 bandi (folio sheets, each folded once, various sizes, various wear, some signatures clipped, others supplied in manuscript, assorted manuscript annotations, extracted from bindings). Small but very interesting collection of Bandi on the prohibition of tobacco, all scarce (none are found in OCLC / FirstSearch). As there was no centralized government in Italy, the restrictions on Tobacco was a quagmire of regional taxation, restriction, and monopolization, as is attested by the bandi in the present collection. Increasing tobacco consumption in the Italian penensula merited the establishment of fiscal laws by various States. The present items illustrate the expansion of tobacco culture, and the disjointed governmental responses from Sicily, Naples, and Turin: 1. Broadside: Carlo [...] La Regia Giunta eretta da S.M. per il Dritto proibitivo del Tabacco (3 May 1758). 2. Noi il Conte d' Americo Amari [...] del gius proibitivo del Tabacco (23 January 1746), 2 pp. 3. Noi d' Michele Amari conte de S. Adriano [...] del Jus prohibendi del Tabacco (23 January 1740), 2 pp. 4. Noi Don Giuseppe Termine e Ferreri [...] del Jus prohibendi del Tabacco (30 November 1733), 1 p. 5.

Condition: Good; heavily spotted throughout; contemporary signature torn from the title page; spine worn; covers loosening.
Description: Philadelphia: Henry H Porter, 1832. First Edition. Publisher's original cloth backed boards with original orange glazed paper label on the front cover.. Good; heavily spotted throughout; contemporary signature torn from the title page; spine worn; covers loosening.. 8vo, 4 (adverts.) 80 pp. This copy with cogent annotations. Porter had a brief career as publisher in Philadelphia during the early 1830s. The book offered here was issued by the Journal of Health - another Porter project that failed in 1834 after four years. Porter, however, occupies an important place in the development of American medicine. Through his handful of separate publications and the journal he was unrelenting in his criticism of Thomsonians, botanical "doctors", homoeopaths, and purveyors of nostrums. He sought to bring medical care under the supervision of properly educated and trained physicians. Together with Jon Bell and David Condie they accounted for virtually all of the content in his publications. All of his publications are scarce in the market. See Atwater #2053.

"Cable succeeds in showing that America's failure in Vietnam was the result of faulty military doctrine, not a loss of will, as Harry Summers asserts in On Strategy (G.P.O., 1981). He sets the stage by reviewing the history of five small 20th-century wars, and the lessons the U.S. military learned from each in developing its doctrine of counterinsurgency war. Too often the lessons were invalid, leading to an almost total misunderstanding of the struggle in Vietnam. This is an excellent addition to the growing number of books critical of basic U.S. military doctrine, one both well researched and well written. It strongly challenges the idea that the United States could have won in Vietnam. For most academic, military, and public libraries, especially larger ones."--Library Journal.

ABOUT THIS BOOK: From the New York Times bestselling author of The Atlas Six comes the story of three siblings who, upon the death of their father, are forced to reckon with their long-festering rivalries, dangerous abilities, and the crushing weight of all their unrealized adolescent potential. Where there's a will, there's a war. Thayer Wren, the brilliant CEO of Wrenfare Magitech and so-called father of modern technology, is dead. Any one of his three telepathically and electrokinetically gifted children would be a plausible inheritor to the Wrenfare throne. Or at least, so they like to think. Meredith, textbook accomplished eldest daughter and the head of her own groundbreaking biotech company, has recently cured mental illness. You're welcome! If only her father's fortune wasn't her last hope for keeping her journalist ex-boyfriend from exposing what she really is: a total fraud. Arthur, second-youngest congressman in history, fights the good fight every day of his life. And yet, his wife might be leaving him, and he's losing his re-election campaign. But his dead father's approval in the form of a seat on the Wrenfare throne might just turn his sinking ship around. Eilidh, once the world's most famous ballerina, has spent the last five years as a run-of-the-mill marketing executive at her father's company after a life-altering injury put an end to her prodigious career. She might be lacking in accolades compared to her siblings, but if her father left her everything, it would finally validate her worth by confirming she'd been his favorite all along. On the pipeline of gifted kid to clinically depressed adult, nobody wins but which Wren will come out on top?(Publisher).

Seller: Ken Sanders Rare Books, ABAA (United States)
Condition: as New
Description: New York: Modern Library, 1999. Third edition. Paperback. as New. 517pp Octavo. Copper colored spine and illustrated front cover. "The pleasure of reading the Education," wrote Alfred Kazin, "is the pleasure of reading a work of literature made up, literally, from historical facts." His political ideals shaped by two presidential ancestors- great-grandfather John Adams and grandfather John Quincy Adams- Henry Adams was one of the most original minds to confront the American scene from the Civil War to the First World War. Privately printed in 1907 and published to wide acclaim shortly after the author's death in 1918, Adam's Education is less a memoir than a work of brilliant history that charts the great transformation in nineteenth-century American intellectual life. A work of enormous humanity and remarkable prescience, The Education of Henry Adams presents a world poised between the certainties of the past and the uncertain possibilities of the future.
