Expected age-toning to text; else a very well-preserved copy, Very Good or better. Text entirely in Italian.

Description
The first female sociologist" according to some and a feminist at a time when that word was unknown, this versatile English writer penned nonfiction, essays, poetry, novels, short stories, travelogues, economics and more and was one of the few self-supporting women writers of her age. Autograph Quotation (unsigned), 1p, 7 3/4" X 6 3/4", n.p., n.y. Very good. Mild age toning and old (not weakened) folds; tipped to similar-size sheet. Four 4-line stanzas from Martineau's 1866 poem, "The Coming of Christ in Power," the first stanza reading: "Lord Jesus, come! for still / Vice shouts her maniac mirth. / And famished thousands crave their fill / While teems the fruitful earth." And the last stanza reads: "Come, as in days of old, / With words of grace & power! / Gather us all within thy fold, / And never leave us more." Interestingly, the phraseology of these four stanzas differs considerably from some printed versions of it. Vertically, along the right edge, a different unknown hand notes, "Composed and written by Harriet Martineau. / Given to me by Mrs. Follen." Eliza L. Follen (1787-1860) was an American abolitionist and wife of poet Charles Follen; in 1844 she wrote the introduction to the American edition of Martineau's book "Life in the Sick-Room: Essays." An intriguing Martineau text, though not signed, and with interesting provenance.

Berlin: Ad. Mt. Schlesinger [PN 1540], 1835. Oblong folio. Original publisher's dark ivory wrappers with titling within decorative border. 1f. (title with list of individual pieces and their prices), [1] (blank), 2-102 pp. Engraved. Uncut. Text in French and German. Provenance: The noted music collector and bibliographer Anthony von Hoboken, with his small decorative bookplate with nautical motif to upper outer corner of verso of upper wrapper. Wrappers frayed at edges, soiled, and somewhat darkened; spine split and partially lacking. Minor foxing, heavier to some leaves; light offsetting and bleeding; final signature partially detached. Small circular publisher's handstamp to lower inner margin of title. A very good wide-margined copy overall. First German edition. Rare. Schneider p. 418.

La fiancée, an opéra-comique to a libretto by Eugene Scribe, was first performed at the Opéra-Comique (Feydeau) on 10 January 1829. Auber "composed mostly opéras comiques, and was the foremost representative of this genre in 19th-century France... [He] consolidated his international reputation with La fiancée and Fra Diavolo."
